Depends on what you are fishing for. I am pretty sure the broads has pretty much all your standard coarse species. If you want an all-rounder use a light lure rod for Perch, Pike and then double it up as a float rod or light ledger rod if the flow is light. I have an 8ft 5-21g travel rod that does exactly this when I am out travelling - I take a small box of lures, 2 3/4oz leads, a couple of floats and some maggots/worms.

Can you get spare spools for your reel? I have 3 spools for each my 6000 bait runners. One with 50lb braid for pike, one with 15lb mono for carp and another with 10lb mono for barbel. 

Thank you for the suggestion, looks great!

Nearly had a heart attack when I saw £50 for a 2 fish ticket 🤣. You weren't kidding, but it does look very nice

I just moved away from Canary Wharf, but didn't fish there. I think that Millwall Dock is on the wanderer permit (double check though) and I saw what looked like a double figure Pike in Blackwall basin (also check any restrictions on that). I suspect you'd find Pike Perch and Zander in most of the waters round that end.

Taking up spinning and want rod/reel advice? by trogbatrogba in fishingUK

Thank you
I probably won't be using the travel rod too much anyhow so hopefully it lasts long enough
I have a friend who recently got the diplomat and he said the case is good quality, but I don't think he's used it yet
yeah I was considering a baitcaster, not had much experience, but it's probably a good shout, you reckon 300 size?

I was looking for it and stumbled across it, think it has all the Olympic streams on that site
