142.5kg if the Stella, white lightning and bait guesstimates are Bob on. Easy peasy

You may joke scozza. But 100% guaranteed you'll catch fish in your lifetime you either wouldn't have or would have been difficult to catch if you have a sawn off or two. Brilliant holiday rods for spinning and live baiting, pike whatever. Not necessarily Nash, sonik do one. They do an 8' 2.5 that packs up to suitcase size too. That actually feels nicer than the normal scope rip off they sell

I had some 10 foot HiS (my dads bigger than yours lol) as a small water set up. Sold them, I will stick with some 12 foot real mens rods
I have a Shimano 5 piece 7 or 9 foot travel spinning rod, nice tool. Also a fox 5 piece 12 foot floater special. I can see the benefit of these for travelling, saving an extra 2 foot when I fish a variety of waters, I cannot

So say 4.5 to under 5 kilo that's the way to fish grab and go there's really no need for loads of gear

I really try and cut down but still take a car full for a weekend session.
My Powerporter is a game changer and I will NEVER go back. I pulled my back last year barrowing gear around before I had it, getting too old at 57

For my ultralight 2 rod set up all my tackle and bait goes into a small fox pouch. 1 x tub of hook baits, sharpening stone, spare rigs in zip and seal bags and one spare leader, 4 leads, scissors, lighter, small forceps and few bits. Job done
2 rod aluminium buzz bars and alarms in a small Gardner case, Ruben microlight scales, catapult, camera. Hat and glasses. In the main compartment of a fox medium carryall, chest waders bit of free bait, without the waders weight virtually nothing!
I also have another set up with more gear, vulpine rucksack, small medium fox box, Rubens etc

You're missing the point mate. It doesn't matter the brand or if you think real men use 12ft rods (which is actually ridiculous
). While you'll have some using them because it's somehow ‘trendy' and they have their limitations, the rod format will catch you fish. Which is what it's all about

Bit of fun Jon
People can use whatever they like. Standard carp rods used to be 11 foot then they grew a foot or two, looks like they have lost a couple now with the latest trends. A lot of it is in peoples heads for me, or manufactures making people think they need them ££££££££££££
I could be stealth with 6 foot rod or a 13 footer, see if you can see me, better get out and do some “recon”

I love my 10ft rods in fact my 12fts cost twice as much but haven't been out on the bank for over a year now, tbh though it's more because On my syndicate the spook very easily so I like to not have my rod tips hanging over the water plus some of the swims are tight so I like the 10fts for more ease and having them back away from the water.
Im 6ft 3 and it might look a little weird being tall using smaller rods but I absolutely love them, not turning this into a debate about smaller rods though because people can use what ever they like
