I'm returning to fishing after a very long absence. I have bought a Leeda 2XL starter kit, but after a couple of trips to the local commercial carp lake I'm less than impressed with, particularly the reel and would like to equip myself for general course fishing. Reading several mags and online reviews I'v identified the Greys TX Prodigy or the Preston Carbonactive 10' Mini carp along with the Shimano Exage reel as immediate upgrades.
Am I spending too much at this stage trying to get an all round rod or would I be better building a kit gradually with specific rods for specific purposes? Or shall I invest in a pole setup?
There is a bewildering range of kit from which to choose that I'd be very grateful for any advice.
