Hi, Im thinking for buying a new beachcasting rod.  The Shimano Aspire 130m 
looks a great deal at £180.  Is there any other rods in this price range i 
should also consider?

Why spend so much?
I have been using an ABU 13ft for a few years and have been more than happy, 
it casts well, holds well, is nicely balanced with my medium size Abu 
multiplier, sits well in windy conditions, and cost only £48

Don't waste money, a name doesn't always mean better quality nor does the 
price.

Hi Paul, Im not buying it for the name.  I was shown one and it looks great. 
A few people have recomended it.  The RRP is £270 but I got a deal on eBay 
for £180.  Many thanks for the advice.
