Maxcatch are really decent, especially for lines and reels. My reels have been great, bumped around a whole load of stuff and haven’t broken but tbh for uk you don’t need anything fancy. Most used one is a plastic loop one that gets bumped around the boot as it’s pretty much unbreakable.
In terms of rods will you be fishing rivers or still waters/lakes mostly? If rivers a 9ft 4/5wt is a better option, if lakes go for the 6wt. ebay is great for 2nd hand rods as like cyclist fishers have way too much kit. If can get a snowbee prestige or vision rod (onkis are good) for ~£100 it’s likely all the rod you’ll ever need. 9ft 5wt will do pretty much everything.

@Colin_the_Bald you recommended a Maxcatch rod as good value ~ 9ft, 5 or 6 weight for a beginner. I can't find the V-Feather / Crystal Black on their website or eBay.
Is this the one (but renamed)? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/173108568384? or do any others look a better bet?
and @jupiz how did you find the Maxcatch reel(s)?
Thanks!
