The Tacklebox CFX 10ft 3lb rods are excellent and they will custom build them to your requirements if you want.

I have just purchased a set of Shimano TX2 10ft and Daiwa Emcast 25a.

First impressions, I am very very pleased.

The rods have a full length handle which I find much more comfortable and the reels are super smooth and feel solid. I believe they are a large spinning reel so perfect for pairing up with a smaller, lighter rod

Yeah
So i have ended up with 2 okuma 6000 reels and sonik 10ft extractor rods .
Both feel and look great .
Well happy thanks for all messages 👍

Fox explorers and the Okuma inception reels combine perfectly, or the Penn Rivals, the Okuma reels are perfectly good enough I really like the set up, I use it more than my 12ft rod set up now
