Is it ? The lakes I'll be fishing in have carp up to 40lb, not likely I'll catch them but who knows

Found a diawa black widow g50 11ft 3lbs TC ? That's a bit more in budget than the one on the tackle box site

Looking at options I can find a Diawa Black Widow g50 12ft 3.5lbs for £54.99

I did mention that's why I have a budget for the rod itself as I need the extra money for tackle and bits and bobs such as the net etc

Appreciate that, that setup does look nice, I was just thinking the two rod setup would give me some more chance of catching and learning before I spent a bit more on better kit etc, however I will consider this kit as the rod looks lovely and seems good quality

Any rod/reel combo under £60 you'd reccomend ?

Specifically I was looking at these

Appreciate the response, yes I have experience course fishing I usually waggle fish on the local pond.

I appreciate the equipment I have looked at may not be the best quality etc but everything else I can find is taking me way over budget, for example the sonik rods once you add in the reels and other bits it goes nearly to £200, I was hoping to spend £100 on the two rods with bite alarms then anything else on other bits like good line and rigs etc ? Would those rods not suffice for a year or so ? Not looking to catch 20lb+ carp just yet I'd be targeting smaller carp to learn the art

Hi I'm new to carp fishing, have a low budget at the moment under £150, have been shown “Kits” on eBay and Amazon with 2 rods, reels, bite alarms and rod pods etc was just wondering are they good to get started on ? Any help would be appreciated
