I've just upgraded to a set of tacklebox 10ft CFX black edition rods including marker, I'm now looking for a 10ft floater fishing rod or 2.25 tc rod that wouldn't look out of place with this setup ideally around the £100 mark.

any suggestions please

Probably would but my Mrs might beat me if I spend too much on another rod

I would personally stick to a 12' rod for floater fishing. The longer rod helps with picking up the line off the surface.

without fear of castration

Ive just spent near on £500 on the other rods so didnt want to go mad on the floater rod

I do a lot of floater fishing and find my tfg 10ft compact commercial carp rod ideal for it. 2.5lb tc although it feels a bit softer, through action, casts floaters well, plays well and cost much less than I was prepared to pay.
Possibly a bit cheaper than you were thinking but I assure you it's very good value, definitely worth a look and considering especially on performance.
Looks to be still available on eBay.

Have a look at the TB Darent Valley 11.9ft 2.25tc rod. It's a great floater rod. I've been using it for floater fishing for a few years now, soft at the top, but power when needed down in the butt.

Korum do a 10' 2.25lb TC rod which looks like it will do the job. Haven't got one so don't know if they're any good, but look ok for £60.
Are you sure?
