not a bad rod, there are better ones out there, but for the money its a good deal, a good allrounder you might say

For an absolute novice who wants to learn the basics to catch a few small roach perch and rudd it is probably too much. this is a good rod when you want to step up a gear and fish for tench on a gravel pit, fish for small to medium carp on a commercial day ticket water or stalk chub on a river. I have one of these rods, the Avon top is 1 and a 1/4 test curve meaning it is good for lines of 4 to about 8 pound breaking strain.

I would reccomend a float rod, there are some fairly reasonable ones on the market costing around 20 to 30 quid. I bought a shakespear rod last year for my daughter and it cost about 17 pounds, it is fairly good and i use it myself from time to time. i have caught crucian carp good roach and rudd and good perch on it.

To go with it i would reccomend one of the shimano match reels. they are lovely and not expensive (pay between 15 and 30 quid) having similar specificatons to the more expensive bait runner models.

I have one and I would recommend it. It is perhaps a bit beefy for small fish / float use but as a compromise it is a very good rod. In addition it will cope with double figure carp so if you want a rod that can handle float fishing, feeder fishing and be strong enough for barbel/carp then this is certainly woorth considering.

I have 2 of them, and use them for probably 75% of all my fishing, I find them especially good for float fishing for carp / tench and quiver tipping for chub and barbel.

I love my rod
 I have used it on the canal for gugeon with 2lb line and for mighty barbel (my best 8lb 9oz) and used 10lb line Only problem is the handle is abit cr4p but its a very good rod. Joel -------------------- Crime Fighting RPG
