Pro Tip from the Gerry’s Team
Pro Tip: Telescopic rods need proper care to perform at their best over time. When extending the rod, pull the sections out firmly from the tip down with a slight twist to lock them into position. When packing down, untwist gently rather than pushing straight down to avoid jamming the sections. Since this setup comes pre-spooled with 0.18mm braid, always tie on a 10ft leader of 15lb–20lb fluorocarbon or tough monofilament. This provides essential abrasion resistance against razor-sharp rocks and barnacles along the shoreline.

Coastal Pier & Breakwater Spinning: Launching metals, spoons, and surface lures for sea bass, pollack, and mackerel off piers and rocky headlands.
-
Estuary & Harbor Angling: Lightweight and maneuverable for working soft plastic lures along harbor walls, channel edges, and estuarine marks.
-
Holiday & Travel Fishing: Keep it stored under a car seat or in holiday luggage for quick sessions on UK coastal trips or overseas holidays.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this combo suitable for beginner anglers?
Yes, it is an ideal starter or holiday kit. Because the reel comes pre-spooled with high-performance 0.18mm X4 braid, you don’t need to worry about winding line onto the spool—just tie on your leader and rig, and you are ready to fish.
Can this rod handle freshwater predator fishing too?
Absolutely. While designed for sea spinning, the 9ft length and 30-50g casting weight make it equally effective for targeting freshwater pike, perch, and zander with larger spinners, plugs, and soft plastics.
How do I protect the rod after sea fishing?
Saltwater can cause salt buildup on guide frames and telescopic joints. Always rinse the extended rod and reel under fresh tap water after every saltwater session, then let it dry fully before collapsing it for storage.
