I use the original Maver Reactorlite 13' No1 for 90% of m waggler work, including shallow pellet fishing. Also have an old Normark Microlite for more delicate work.
I suppose you need to let us know how much you are prepared to spend, all my rods were over £100. If you can only afford £50, you will need some other recommendations.

Thumbs up

Cheers lads, I expect to spend betwen £150-£200 Steve.

It would be used for carp on commercials and the odd river trip during the season for chub and barbell.

The Maver Reactorlites are ideal for that, perhaps the No2 if you want to catch proper barbel on them.
