Default Carp rods

Can anyone recommend a decent carp rod (up to about £50)
suitable for float and other methods for fish hopefully up to around 20Ib.
Thanks in advance.

I've got two fox warrior carp rods, they are approx 45-50 quid each.
They are a bit stiff for float fishing, although you can cast a decent carp
float about 20 metres, they are not the best rods for float fishing....they
are perfect for other scenarios though, I use mine mainly for stalking in
the margins as they are very light...I have the 2.75lb TC but you can get
2.5 which may be slightly 'whippier'.
I recently used them on a visit to ullswater where the weeds are thick and
stringy, I caught about 18 trout with them using the swimfeeder.
