This is how to christen your new rod, 1lb 11oz of prime roach! I will be happy if this is the only one of the afternoon, but one more would be good....
@MattG87 if you buy secondhand you should get a couple of rods for £50. I would recommend 12' both times, 2.75 for general piking, 1.75 for barbel (also tench and bream). If you want new, Wychwood can be had for around £50 each, I use their 1.75 barbels for most things including close range carp. Do not touch Wychwood reels! I use Shimano ST6000RB baitrunners for virtually all my fishing, at less than £60 each you can't go wrong.
