Im looking for a cheap cork handle 12ft 2-75 to 3lb TC floater rod. Any suggestions would be greatly received.

Any particular reason why you want to go so heavy for floater fishing?

Fully agree with the other guys, 3lb test curve far too heavy. Need something with a nice soft action to absorb lunges under the tip when using relatively fine hooklinks. I use 2lb test curve Armalites for 90% of my carp fishing, and these make ideal floater rods. Have a look if you can pick one up second hand.

What your describing would not be sold as a 'floater rod' .
Esp do a v nice floater rod, think it's 2.5 tc, I've got the m1, lovely playing action, and nice soft tip for casting controllers.

I got a daiwa powermesh floater rod last year and it's a great rod. Not a bad price either 👍🏽

Another vote for the Powermesh. V nice rod with a good action. Had an ESP previously,and that was a lovely rod too.. If the OP is after a cork handle model,I think Korum do one ,as do Wychwood?
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
