I've started to really enjoy fishing the canal for silvers recently and I've even signed up for a "silvers syndicate" group of waters. I use a 13ft Daiwa match rod (it's a good 25/30 years old) which is in quite a bad state and needs replacing soon. The 13ft length is just.a.bit too much on my local canal as space is limited on the best stretches, a 12ft length would be much nicer in my opinion after using a friend's the other day. I'll mainly be fishing for roach, dace, perch and chublets but may pick up the odd few tench or big chub so will need a little backbone. I doubt I'll ever use it to catch fish of anything more that three of four pounds so soft and tippy is what I'm after. Spending limit is ideal 50 or 60 pounds sort of thing and I don't want anything fancy.
Cheers, cal
