All relative to the distance your trying to catch them at re mending line and rod length, would also argue it takes more stealth to get them feeding in close and fish for them without spooking them. Fish often patrol and feed along the margins especially as its getting light in the early hours of morning swimming under anglers rod tips and feeding on bait spilt in the margin while they were baiting up.

A guy i share a local tackle shop with a guy likes some of the NGT rods, zero affiliation because that's not his style. It's basically all he does now is surface fishing as he fished to enjoy himself rather that Kane it over the popular targets. And he's probably one of if not the most respectful member of the old school carp scene.
Rest of it apart from the gas is pretty cack and they sell machetes without asking for ID at carp shows but still 😂

I have had a fox one for a lot of years, floater special? 5 piece, it can also break down nicely into two similar lengths which is useful. The sole reason I have not replaced is, because of the action, lovely rod for a multi section one. Duplon is a bit battered and the resin has a few chips out of it but still going strong

I'd quite like a longer rod, provided it packs down small. A four piece 12ft rod with a 1.5lb TC would be ideal. If anyone knows of any?

As I said - Rovex JW Barbel (if you can find one) / Shimano STC or JW Young Specimen Barbel (5 piece / comes in 42" tube) - all these waffling on about scopes etc are brainwashed!

1.5lb Harrison 11ft 4pc avon as I said in that case. Wipes the floor with the factory made 5 piece travel rods and can be transported as an equal section 2pc around the lake. Not cheap but possibly my favourite rod... ever.
