shimano tx2 3tc, 15lb touchdown

i went there before i was into carp fishing i was catching plenty on method feeder. i honestly think any tactic works there bud, its heavily stocked.

hey up lads n lasses, looking to buy a couple new reels, my thought are either :
daiwa windcast qda
okuma 8k
fox fx9/11
daiwa black widow

which you think is the best option and why? all advice is appreciated thanks

Might be a stupid question lol but is there a special way you reduce the size of ur pop ups? i just use a sharp knife and trim it down to size, does it matter if its not perfectly spherical?

cheers pal ill have a look into them

thanks for the response lads, is it really worth holding out for these or are their others which are quite a bit cheaper? TIA

Need suggestions for 9/10 ft rod which is 3.25 tc reason being i will be using it on a couple small-lake cat venues with cats upto 80lb. it will %90 of the time be used on small carp waters but with it being 3.25 tc im thinking thats a bit too much because i dont want it to take alot of the action out of me playing carp ? (size roughly 15-30lb) any suggestions would be great thanks.
