4.2m long cast surf/beach rods and reels

Looking for some guidance on long casting beach/surf fishing rods and reels.

Been liaising with ADORE Tackle and they recommended rod - Colmic Brand rods that are made in ITALY

Reels brand Sunset Rush made in France 

Anyone with feedback on these brands?

Good?

Bad?

Not worth it?

Set your budget if you have one.

 Unless you are doing some serious fishing i.e targeting big fish you don't need anything over the top. 

Work out what weight bait and sinker you are casting the work out rod tip and line class.

Run braid with a good length of top shot mono.

 All I'll say is make sure

 All I'll say is make sure the reel you're looking at has a loud drag so you can actually hear the thing more than 5 meters away. I've got a couple of quiet reels and it's a pain on a windy

how mutch do u want to spend. me personally iv got the sabre 14"6 in assasin and bang for your buck best rod on the market but i ussally use my 8 and 9 wrap snyders now with my alveys as i like mono better for around metro and i reken casting too far with these rods lime you do with them puts you out of the fish zone on the beach. i did a trip away to gero mate fished braid and i fished mono alveys got 15 taylor to his 5 and got 1 mully landed and lost one to his 0 each to there own but bigger rods are only good in certin conditions i reken but each to there own

 local beaches9 -12 foot is ample, just get the rod weighting right

IF yr punching big baits into strong winds or need to clear reefs ,structures etc, then go up to 14 ft

generally dont need anything longer, rememebering its harder work when yr loaded up onto big fish

Find rods where you get a variety of tips included, ie psoidein 5 peice or similar, 15, 20 and 25 kg tips
