I have two sets one 13 ft , 3,5 lb for distance fishing and a set in 12 ft 3lb for close fishing , great rods cast very easy , play fish like a parabolic rod just love them

For fish shots you need a wide lens , the canon 20 mm f2.8 is a good one , on your APSC senzor will be a 32mm that is perfect for trophy shots

DJI OM 5 a gimbal for his phone , take picures or videos , voice activated or smile activated for pictures , cheap and reliable .

I am in Canada and here we fish for carp with braid 40-50 pd . Two sets of my distance rods are with minima rings , never had problems with them , the rings are US made . Maibe the rings on your rods are low quality
