Googled these, the beastmaster looks good although a bit pricey but a possibility, the multi-purpose lengths is attractive. The Notskev savage rod and Philllip's link also a possibility. I will have to give these a proper look, I will visit my tackle shop and see what he has, usually a good range in there.
I tried an old fly rod last time but with a fixed spool reel - all unbalanced, would be better with a small center pin but not all together keen on the idea, I have a fairly good fly rod but think I will keep it for fly fishing.
Don't want to go over 9ft, I have a Chevron 10ft winkle picker I have never used but it looks too heavy and 10ft might still struggle under some trees.
I like to travel light, one rod, one reel etc, I don't want all rods for all situations, one all-rounder might suit me more these days.
I am thinking of ditching a lot of my gear, keeping two carp rods which double up for barbel rods if I ever go again and light sea fishing, one all round short rod for coarse fishing which I do less and less of the last few years might do me. One beach caster and reel for when I get back into it as well, I have about 5 of those, dont need all this gear anymore.
I will see, thanks/like for all the posts and suggestions.
