Dear All,

Time has come to buy a new rod, I can only afford one (both in money and
storage space) and therein lies the problem.

The water I fish has single figure carp, bream, tench, chub and roach
and I need a rod which can cope with all those species. I have never
used line above 8lbs BS for any of these species.
What size / TC / type of rod would give the best compromise for the
above mentioned species given the constraints that

For the general type of fishing you want to do a 1:1/4 test curve Avon rod
should meet your needs.
The john wilson avon quiver rod is a 11ft long, with an extension to bring
it up to 13ft. Personally when tried one I found it a bit heavy at 13ft for
waggler fishing, however that is just me, I hate unbalanced fishing rods.
It comes with a second section together with three quiver tips.
At around £65 from the link below it should IMHO meet your needs and price.
