Hi numes, I bought a Daiwa Sensor 12' two-piece for well under fifty quid, recently, and it is a really classy piece of kit. It has 2.5lb test curve, and an action that goes right through to the butt section. It was reduced, but you should be able to find one for yourself. My advice is to look at reduced tackle, rather than buying cheap tackle at full price... My Ron Thompson 'carp match' rod is good, but not the quality of the Daiwa.
See it at this online tackle dealer's site: http://www.swiftys-fishing-tackle.co.uk/ca...2d46ebb5d77b8f9 [ 26. April 2004, 11:21 PM: Message edited by: Pangolin ] -------------------- You meet all kinds of animal on the riverbank.

I have 2 Daiwa Vulcan X Carp rods and a Fox Warrior, both types cost less than fifty quid.
If I was really to pick between the 2, I'd go for the Fox Warrior. It's a really nice rod for the money (£44 or less) and I doubt you''l get any better for less than £80. It has a nice progressive action with plenty of backup. Beautifully finished with 3 legged rings, abbreviated handle and superb whippings, finishings etc. I use the 3lb TC for allround Pike fishing and it's landed me a 22Lber and numerous large doubles. I'd buy another no bother. -------------------- "I envy not him that eats better meat than I do, nor him that is richer, or that wears better clothes than I do.

Fox warrior.
I read a copy of a mates Total carp who done a feature on these rods. They said they would rather buy a Fox warrior than some other makes that were double the price. They could not belive that Fox could bring out such a quality rod for such a low price. I have a 2.75lb test curve model and will get round to buying an another. -------------------- RUDD
