You are more than welcome to use these for free till you get settled, and work out where you want to fish, and what you might need. Save you splashing out on stuff prior for gear that may or may not suit.

Hunting and Fishing will undoubtedly serve your needs and will happily take your money, but can be a little overpriced for what you get, so would second flyshop as a great independent option.

I also have some sea/rock rods you would be welcome to borrow, and/or can introduce you to Pete from Pete Lamb's Fishing who is always a great source of wisdom, and will sort you out with a no-nonsense set up for a very reasonable price. I can also show you some of Miramar's hotspots where you're guaranteed to catch snapper on about 1 in 10 outings... biggest I've caught was about 15cm though, so I hope you like catch and release.

I don't know what to say sir :Folded hands:

Really big thanks for offering to use your rods but I would not like to impose. What I would love is to meet you for sure to pick your brains on tips and techniques. I have read Petes article and recon he will be a go to guy for all sea fishing knowledge.

Here in INDIA we catch Masheer and snake head. Never kept a single Masheer and occasional snakehead. I do practice catch and release where feasible.

Thanks again for your kind gesture ::Folded Hands::. Will get in touch with you once I land there.
