By compact I am thinking of the two piece types where the butt section is telescopic.
My ideal would be a fast action 10' with a not overly long reach from butt to reel.....and absolutely NO to any 50mm butt ring!
It should cast three ounces a long way and be safe lobbing 5 ounces occasionally.
That would probably mean a 3.5 lb TC. For me and river fishing I still need the last 2' of the tip to be reasonably soft.
Bit of a tall ask, anyone know of any brands that fit that spec?
PS - if I could get a suitable blank I would finish it myself.
