Whats the problem having a 3 piece rod left set up. I have No problem having mine left set up
I've got a Drennan tench float 3pce, always left set up in a pouch, no problem.
To answer the original question, the Drennan tench Float is well worth a shout. I'd set it up with a 3000 or 4000 size reel. Maybe a GTM or stradic or one of the shimano match reels?
