Hi All,
Just joined a new club with 5 waters which are walking distance from each other so need to stay mobile (a barrow is not going to be an option).
I'm after some new 10ft rods and reels to suit, max cast will be no more than 30/40 yards from what I have seen but also some luggage to suit so I can easily carry it all.
Any recommendations?
Cheers

no need to spend silly money these days
Daiwa always produce great rods on good blanks take a good look at the Daiwa Vertice Carp Rods 10ft 3lb they will cast 3ozs and can cast 120 yards
there are 3 models the Black widow ,then Vertice then the heavier Daiwa Crosscast XT 3.5Lb
when I put a post up on here and facebook asking about 10ft rods
someone sent me pictures of a few catfish around 40 od lbs he caught fishing a runs water in France using his 10ft Daiwa Vertice rods)
( he did not know catfish were in the small lake when he and his son booked it ) they had carp up to 35lb too he said the rods were amazing
LINKY POO

Cheers both but I think the rods would be overkill, these are very small lakes. Something in the range of 2lb to 2.5lb would be fine I think. Just can't seem to find many firms who do those.

Reel wise Okuma Inc6000 are very good for the money. Also I really like my Sabre 40 litre rucksack it's easy to carry and very versatile

Have you considered the 12ft sonic insurgent recon rods?
I own a set of 9ft scopes, and the only benefit of them was the packdown size, actual fishing wise I find them a hindrance. The 12ft sonic rods fit into a 10ft scope rod bag.

I haven't used a 12ft rod in over 5 years now. For the waters I fish they just aren't needed. Some of venues have tiny swims with overhangs and nooks to get into which make a 12ft almost unusable in those areas.

If you can find some then the TF Gear Compact Commercial 10' 2.5lb Carp Rods will suit your requirements very well,
Reels - Okuma Inc 6000 if want a pit style reel or some Super Baitrunners

My small water set up:
ESP 9ft Stalker 2.75 (2)
Okuma Inc 6000 (2)
Thinking Anglers mat - contains sticks/bars/alarms/net/sling/brew kit
ESP Rucksack - tackle, bait, food, water
I try to avoid a bucket but if I'm baiting swims as I go then sometimes it's needed

You could try the Korum Opportunist rods, they do an 8ft 2lb or a 10ft 2.25, that's if you don't mind cork handles..

Scopes are great for mobility. I use 9ft ones in 3lb, pretty powerful rods. Believe the 10fts are a bit softer. 2.25lb is very light and soft, have one for floater work. I use the two rod scope holdall and then extra single skins.
Daiwa GS40000LTD is a nice reel.
