Have a look at the shakespeare 11-12-13ft superteam, they are in your price bracket and are the dogs.

what price are the prestons. still interested in the garbolino maybe the mavers. is it just me or are all rods based on the carp lake scene nowadays

I've got the Garbalino distance feeder it's great up to about 80 yards ( a real 80 yards not 80 turns of a reel which is almost allways a lot less). The tips with the rod are a bit micky mouse for distance work only one, the 1oz, is any good but the rod is soft enough for bream at that distance.

If you want to go further then the Preston Dutch Master or there is an even more expensive Tricast rod. All need to be coupled with a reel with a spool diameter about that of a 6000 bait runner.

hope this helps
