One rod [UK]
It must difficult for a non angler to choose a rod given the 1000's available for a multitude of species and locations both fresh and saltwater. Of course several rods would be favourite but if I could have only one this would be it - Any fish anywhere Estuary 12ft casting weight rated 1-3 oz This rod is a jack of all trades and imho is a master of a few - its equally at home float fishing/ledgering/ and general lure fishing. Im talking sea here rather than freshwater where a lighter rod would be more appropriate. Saying that I would still opt for the AFAW as it could manage lighter duties in freshwater and easily cope with larger species like carp and pike. If you live near shallow beaches a 13ft beach caster using 4-6 oz would be ideal but the AFAW would cope- not as well but it would catch fish. One rod means compromise and the AFAW is in the sweet spot for many species and would cope in many different enviroments maybe not perfectly but would catch.It is a bit pricy for a non angler at around £160 last time I looked. Other cheaper options would be a Bass rod 2-4oz or flattie 2-4oz around 11ft and £60-£100 or so. Of course in a shtf situation it would be about getting fish on the table so stringing a long line out or flinging in a stick of dynamite could be more appropriate! Anyway if someones looking for a multi purpose rod for sea and to a lesser extent freshwater that's my choice AFAW estuary 12ft 1-3 oz
