Hi all,

I am looking at getting some baby/mini pit reels and some 9ft rods and would like some advice on which combination to go for.

I am in two minds whether to go for a cheaper setup and get 3 of each to obviously allow me to use 3 rods but also use one as a spod rod if needed or to with the more expensive setup and just get 2 of each.

Budget is £450.00

my options are:

3 x Sonik Xtractor Rods
3 x Daiwa Emblem 25A Reels
Total Cost - £385.00

3 x Sonik Xtractor Rods
3 x Sonik Xtractor reels
Total Cost - £325.00

2 x Nash Scope TT rods
2 x Shimano ultegra 5500xtd
Total Cost £450.00

2 x Nash Dwarf Shrink
2 x Diawa Emblem 35 SCW 5000C QD (Not sure whether this would be too big?)
Total Cost - £400.00

All advice is welcome!
