As far as tackle goes, the JW Avon/Quiver is a sound rod, I've used mine
to
catch roach, perch, tench, trout & carp. If you need a good reel, you can
do
a lot worse than a Mitchell 300, you can get 'em on e-bay. Welcome back to
angling!


I _recall_ hearing that it was the top selling rod in the UK but don't quote
me on that.
