Budget rod and reel from Amazon

Used to really enjoy float fishing when i was a teenager in the River Thames. My brother kindly forgot to take my gear with him when he moved house years ago. Anyways, i would like to take it up as a hobbie again so am looking for some budget gear. I would ideally like to buy it from amazon as i have some vouchers. Looking to spend less than £50 on a rod and reel. I know its not much but if i enjoy it, will look to upgrade.

Currently looking at this rod but open to opinions on both rod and reel.

Re: Budget rod and reel from Amazon

i really like maver kit and i would probably buy a float rod as you can improvise this as a light feeder rod if required. but be warned, fishing is addictive and you'll soon start spending! lol
