Hi
Found this rod amongst the pile and thought i might use it but cant see a scale on it to see what size fish it could catch.
Refer to pics for details
What size rating would this rod be?

So have you googled it? cheers davo
It's an exhilarating feeling catching a fish
But it's an even better feeling releasing them

702 kgw couldn't be more than 2-4kg I could be wrong but if it has kgw in stead of something like 702ulfs I imagine it's a 7 ft glass whiting rod..
If I'm not fishing, I'd rather be fishing!

On second inspection I now see ultra light tip.. This would be a 1-2 kg rod..

Maybe 1-3.. Perfect for whiting!

Pop a pilchard on it and chuck it in and see what happens. If you get a snapper on the end then you'll know soon enough if it's up to the task. I reckon I fish heavy gear but mostly it's to battle the heavy sinker in WP more than the big fish! Otherwise, I have no idea but don't see many overhead whiting setups.

What reel is that? looks like an abu 5k-6k? the rod looks about 5kgs to me. glass rods can usually take a beating and can handle much more than stated on the rod. Nothing north of the bay will outdo a rod like that. It will just take you a bit longer to muscle the fish in
