dragon carp is very cheap gear & after looking at a lot of their stuff at shows & 1 of their shops, you're better off spending more on a better known brand of rod.
they're ok for end tackle (feeders & bits & bobs like that) but not worth it for rods etc.
i got restarted with the £100 zebco carp kit from argos & then just replaced with better kit as i''ve gone.
another good thing to do is go to your local tackle shop & have a look & feel of the rods, reels etc, that way you'll know the action of the rods, balance, if you feel comfortable with it & get the advice of the staff.
i'm sure nick r will give you some good links

firstly its a 4 tip rod and at 8 ft you ain't going to be fishing at distance ,
what is your budget , what type of fish are you going to target , do you require a reel as well

[whitey3192]

budget is not massive to be honest, two kids mrs and shite paying job to thank for that.
yeah i'll be needing a reel too, i want to get a half decent set up for as cheap as i can really.
i dunno if im wanting to fish the lakes or the river, silver or carp.

im all very confused lol

wagler rod first mate, how big are the carp you intend to catch

[whitey3192]

i believe them to be up to around 15lbs+

whats a waggler then? is that for float fishing??

alot of carp lads seem to have to rods at a time set up, is one a feeder?
why do they do the two rods?
