I've been going through my fishing tackle and having a big sort out as I have far too much. As such I have a Shakespeare Firebird Spinning Rod and reel that is no longer needed. The rod is 7 foot long and rated to cast 10g - 25g and comes with a cloth rod bag (Not the original as it came in a polythene bag when I bought it last year. ) The reel is again a Shakespeare Firebird Fixed Spool Reel (I believe it is about a 3000 size) and is loaded with mono but as it is cheap mono I don't know the breaking strain and would be inclined to change it for a better quality line. I have only used this rod and reel once so it is in "as new" condition and might make an ideal gift! I would be happy to see this go to maybe a youngster to get them started with fishing. I will also throw in a plastic lure box with 5 floating/diving lures and half a dozed (Cheap) floating "popper" lures which are a bit too light for the rods and reels that I have.
I am not asking anything for the outfit, all I would ask is that the recipient pays a little towards post and packaging (I would think that the P&P would only be about a fiver.
I have had this outfit advertised on Facebook Marketplace for £12 but i only had three enquiries and they were all wasters who wanted to knock the price down which is why I have put it on here as a "give away" to try to help a youngster out a little.
If anyone is interested please PM me!
 
facebook market place is terrible for that.
Tell me about it! No matter how good a bargain you put up on marketplace you will still get clowns trying it on, and to be honest I would rather give things away to someone who needs them and will appreciate them than let those sort of clowns chip me!
 
Absolute gentleman. Thank you once again. Little boy is chuffed, the look on his face when he woke up this morning to find a rod, reel and some lures. Now he has his own rod and doesn't have to keep borrowing mine. He's broken two of his own. He has promised to be more careful with this one.

He says, super duper thank you 😂
