Rods for gts

[Mylesfisher]

Hello 
I am in the market to buy a new rod as my old one snapped looking for one to cast land based and on a boat my budget is 300$ what should I buy? Btw it should be a spin rod and I am using the vanguard reel cheers, Myles

You know one rod Ive always liked and have never managed to break is the good old uglystick. 

I've got rid of a lot of gear but one old set up I've kept is an Abu Garcia Ambassadeur 5600 and an 8kg uglystick.

Ive caught everything from carp to bull sharks on it, heats of barra and GT's and it was my favourite rod for Spanish mackerel too. 

 

Bloody solid dependable rod.

Theres plenty of others but for my money until you start going over the $300 mark there's nothing better in that price range. 

I've got a 15kg overhead ugly stick Bluewater I keep overseas and it's, great to cast with and has handled some pretty big Siamese giant carp that fight harder then any GT with ease. 

I've even used it on some pretty big grouper. 

I'd go an 8-15kg 6'6 ulgy stick gold 2 piece or the 15kg 5'6 ulgy stick gold. 

They will cast good, come in under budget and will handle anything you throw at them.
