Getting rid of my 12ft rods as I feel I don't need them. Looking for some 10fts, seen the Shimano tx2s today. Can anyone else recommend anything? Also a reel to go with them.

I bought a set of
DAIWA - VERTICE CARP ROD 10ft 3lb after tons of research these get really great reviews and get discounted very well at the moment too
The slim but powerful HMC+ carbon fibre blanks with tip action display excellent casting characteristics and offer plenty of reserves to combat even large carp during the fight. The quick resilience of these rods is especially important when the rig has to be placed accurately at distance.
The comprehensive line up offers a 10ft model
no need to spend silly money !! these rods are good for up to 120 yards From £69.99 RRP..to £53.99

ESP quickdraws for me for anything up to 80yds.
My 12ft rods are gathering dust!

Retractable rods I'd go for the Sonik Insurgents 👍
Two piece I've just got a set of Grey's Xflites really like them

Agree with Gerry, no need to spend a fortune. I bought a set of three Daiwa 10ft Black Widow G50's about 4 years ago, got them from TFT in the Boxing Day sale (it was a PROPER sale). They were £72 for three, an absolute bargain. Full cork handles, they now are my youngest's starter rods. Nothing wrong with them, think they are TFT "specials" so probably not available now but similar will be available.
Just go with some "budget" rods that have good reviews, just do a search on "10ft" on the forum. I'm sure that will throw up some decent threads.
Alternatively, have a look at the second hand market.

OOPS
Sonik xtractors are good and also cheap with them hanging around in most places for £40 a rod
And also the aqua atom double 10ft sleeve on offer for £30 down from £90

The Aqua is for their retractable Atom rods I think.

10' Freespirit CTX 3.25 are competent and good value - great for small waters. The 10' CTX SPM rod is a great little tool; use it more than my 13' SPM beast rod and on both lakes and rivers for marker/spomb/spopper work

I've gone for the Daiwa crosscast XTs. I will let you know my thoughts after I've used them 👍🏽 thanks for all the recommendations!

I've got a couple of the 10' Crosscast EXT's can't fault them

Gardner Covert might be worth a look. I've got the 12ft 3.25s that i bought for fishing a couple of less savoury waters and they're nice rods for the money, quite soft in action so i would imagine the 10s are lovely
