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?
