Rubber Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 Hi guys, Since moving to Abz I have given up fishing. However, I recently went out spinning for pollock and seem to have caught the bug. Some more reading reveals that Aberdeen and the surrounding coast is loaded with cod and I have never caught one greater than about 3.5lb. So I need to get kitted out for rough groung rock fishing Before I plash the cash, is it possible to get a 12 - 13 foot beachcaster in the passenger seat and out into the boot without fouling on the the rear wingscreen? Also interested to know if anyone else on the forum is into rock fishing around the area.... Chris Quote
Zugara Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 Good luck.... Dont these rods "split" into several parts for transportation? Or is that old Hat Quote
DoogyRev Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 What about some suction rod mounts...... http://www.vac-rac.com/ Quote
Rubber Posted July 10, 2011 Author Posted July 10, 2011 Yes - the rods split in two pieces 13ft may be a bit of a struggle otherwise! Although not all of them split halfway so you end up with a longer end! Never thought of the suction cups but from what I've seen they are for rish dudes with big Land Rovers going out on the estate for a spot of fishing - may look ridiculous on the Zed! Chris Quote
DoogyRev Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 may look ridiculous on the Zed! That maybe... but if its just to transport your rods safely then who cares how it looks Quote
Zugara Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 Get a telescopic rod. http://www.tacklebargains.co.uk/acatalo ... -5205.html Quote
SwanageDave Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 Iv'e got a three piece beachcaster 13' fits perfect mate, i will tell you the name of it in a short while once i go to the garage. Quote
Ebized Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 If it splits into two 6' 6" sections - no problems - have done that when I went freshwater fishing (a few years back now ) Quote
Rubber Posted July 10, 2011 Author Posted July 10, 2011 Cheers for the suggestions Not sure about the telescopic rod heaving codling up the rock faces If you got a 6ft 6" section in then I should be good Cheers, Chris Quote
Lexx Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 My 3 pc 17ft beachcaster, and my 2 pc 14ft match rod both fit in the zed no probs. Quote
