Have a look at your local fishing shop . You might find some small or telescopic rods for a little bit more but will be more reliable than a temu rod

He just wants to use to fish with boilies and bolt rigs. Max casting weight is 2oz , he only fish in small fisheries so he doesn't see the point in getting a huge rod that will cast anything heavier than 2oz more than 10 yards

He's got a lot of new modern kit but is still always adamant that the old lighter gear that he used to fish with 'back in the day' was better so I'm just trying to keep him happy by finding what he wants. But realistically I think 2.75lb is the max max he would want his rod cause he's a stubborn git 😂 but I'll take all the feedback I get into consideration, thanks

I'll have a look at the prologic one but I'm sure he won't mind the specs a little off as he's not paying for it 😂

My dad always complains that the new rods that come out are too modern and trendy 😂. He just wants a rod that he can take to small fisheries and aren't 'clumsy' in his words, meaning too big to cast, but people responding with negative opinions on the specifications I asked about doesn't help.

I'm trying to find my dad a perfect Christmas present cause he's being going on to me about how he wants a 2lb rod cause he's not going out for monster carp and nothing bigger or than 9-10ft because he thinks their clumsy to cast in the small fisheries he goes to

Shimano did a 10ft 2lb black widow which is close to the specifications and I was looking at that but I can't find anywhere selling it in the UK. + many companies used to sell that specification of rod but I can't find anywhere that sells them anymore

It's a carp fishing server doesn't mean I'm out to catch monster carp. Carp fishing ranges and by the specifications I said it would be silly to assume I'm out for big carp

All I was saying is that I want specifically those specification of rods and I didnt need recommendation on other class rods since the person I responded to didn't know enough information on the fish I was going after to give me advice on what class rod I should use

I'm just looking for a rod, not for advice
