I am an "old school" angler who loves rivers and occasionally "natural" ponds. Tackle shops nowadays seem to dismiss the likes of us as all I hear when i walk in tackle shops is "F1 THIS AND F1 THAT" or just carp carp carp ! I hate commercials, I hate pole fishing, and I hate paste, bollies, and all the other designer codswollop. WORMS, MAGGOTS, BREAD, AND A WEIR MAKES ME A HAPPY MAN !

Got 7ft ctx feeder. Absolutely unreal rods. Use it all year round. For the money the ctx range won't be beaten in my opinion.

10ft Nytro Light Carp Feeder is fabulous rod at decent value too

I've got the 9ft marvelist brilliant rod. Mainly use my 7ft free spirit ctx for commercial work as most islands are a short chuck where i fish. Use the nytro when it's a little further and agree they're brilliant rods as well. No weight to them and great power when needed.

My response to this type of question is go for whatever fits your budget, can do what you want it to, and feels right in your hands. For me up to now, that's been a John Wilson Avon/Quiver for heavier float and feeder/bomb work, and a Shakespeare Duo Gold Match 13ft float rod for lighter float and stick fishing.

I’ve used the drennan 10ft puddle chucker for years never had any problems catching fish from 8oz to double figures,one test is to try the blind fold test get different rods and see who can tell you which is the best you be very surprised
