Sonik rods tend to be fairly good. Got a set of 10fts myself and love them, just steer clear of their reels.

Check out Chester tackle if you're North Wales, good group of lads in there and also tackle and baits in saltney. That depends if you're near the English border of course

Alarms I'd be tempted with the fox mini microns if just heads the basic are around 30 each or the mini micron x I've seen as cheap as 194 for 3 alarms and a receiver
As previous said might be better waiting till Black Friday to see if there are any decent sales about

The set of Sonik rods I had (old S3's with cork handles) were spot on for the money, wouldnt hesitate in getting another set.

The Sonik Xtractors may be worth a look if you like 10ft rods, can get them nice and cheap now and they have rave reviews on here. Couple them with some Okuma Inception reels and you're laughing. I'm still tempted with a set for smaller waters myself

What type of waters do you plan to fish? Shorter rods are fine on smaller lakes, but anything over 70 yards and you're making it hard on yourself.

For an all round set up I'd still be looking at a decent set of 12 foot 2.75 or 3lb TC rods. The Okuma 6000 reels everyone raves about will work fine on those too.

I have a 12ft and a 10ft setup and this is exactly what my 10ft setup is made up off. Great reels and rods for the money and most if the time i end up using these iver my 12ft rods.
Are you sure?
