They're Fox Warrior rods, by far the best of the cheap carp rods, set of 3 secondhand for £120 from fleabay. Sonik Dominator reels (I don't name the bloody things) £70 each- buying reels secondhand without trying them is a bad idea. Sonik SKS bite alarms, £120 a set. Bear in mind that gullible can pay £700 for a single reel.....

Just seen the photo of the tench, nice. Have got some holiday still to take this year so I might have found a way to spend it, presuming you can catch anything in late autumn.
Have started to notice how expensive stuff can get, those Daiwa Emblems do look pretty (one day). Loving my John Wilson Avon Quiver and inherited Shakespeare Graphite MK2 reel although line slipping behind the spool happens regularly. Agreed though some of the names of things are hilarious, thought I was the only one!

Nice, every one counts, would be chuffed with a 5lbs carp. What's your rod/reel setup? Apologies if this has been documented extensively.
