Hi, welcome,
This was my post on another thread ' rod and reel'
''Mmmmmm,
Without asking what type of fishing you intend to try I'm going to suggest the John Wilson Avon/Barbel rod.
For under £100 you get a decent rod which has a quiver tip top section and a standard top section. In addition I think it also has an extension piece to make the rod longer if necessary.
I guess the test curve is about 1 1/4 lb through action which would be fine for most carp (if you dont want to break any records) tench, chub, barbel, perch, bream, fishing. It should be ok for smaller silver fish too providing you dont want to fish using a really light line.
If I could only have one rod it would be an Avon twin tip! Mine would, of course, be a Bob James Masterline but if you don't want to spend that kind of money the Wilson version is a great package.''
So I completely agree with your choice.
Dont forget to buy a couple of pairs of good fawceps so that you can get any deep hooks out safely.
