Hi and welcome
You won't go far wrong looking at the new Daiwa Matchman range of rods or the Shimano XR range of rods .
The Daiwas are brilliant value for the money , there is one or more in the range that will suit your needs
I had the D match rods a couple of years ago, These were the predecessor to the Matchman range. . All around £50.
The Shimano X1 are slightly dearer. But again brilliant value .
I see you are from Ellesmere Port . They have a good angling club , it may be worth joining that . A venue with trying is " Cheshire Oak" so named due to its location to the retail outlet . There is a tackle shop there . He may recommend tackle , but don't forget ,it is his business and he will more than likely recommend what he stocks of one particular brand .
If there is an Angling Direct near to you , call in there, They have a large range of tackle from all the major brands and all ranges of budget. . You can have a waggle of the rods in there. But ask if you can put a reel on them to get an idea of the balance .
Wendy Lockers shop " The Tackle Locker" is in your area , you will get good advice from there .
Hope the above helps , I have no affinity to any of the brand's or shops mentioned .
