These are just suggestions, make sure you take your reel in and have a look for yourself.

6'6" Stella
7' Squidgy
Shakespeare Synergy

I'm sure there are more, but here's a start.

Hiya...

I purchased my 7' Squidgy from BM and I can't fault it, cost me $110. But I think any light action rod will do, I think everyone is fishing graphite rods as well. Just pop into the store and have a chat with Geoff, he wont do you wrong.

...Cheers

If you haven't bought a Bream specific rod b4, one thing I will say to look out for the the length of the butt.

I don't know of one person who has stayed with the longer butt on their rod. This may be worth thinking about as the Stella and other rods in the range have the short butt.

HTH.
