Ok Buzzbomb, I think I will go with 3.0 TC Then Thanks for your advice, Has anyone used or have an Opinion on Shimano Alivio DX Specimen rods? Do you think they would be able to cope with a 30lb fish on the other end?

Thanks for all your replies, Looks like it's going to be a case of saving for another couple of months, But not too fussed as wasn't really looking to start until next season. What sort of TC should I be looking for on my Rods?

Hi Guys, New guy here looking to pick some of your brains. Haven't been carp fishing since my Grandad passed (10+ Years now) but looking to get back into it for old time sake. Since I haven't fished or looked at tackle for such a long time I am out of the loop with all the best brands and gear. I'm basically looking for a 2 Rod setup with Pod/Bivvy etc. Both rods will be using Method/cage feeders so no float setups please. The Lakes I want to fish have carp around the 30 - 40LB mark so want to get a suitable set so it doesn't get broken on first cast/bite. Could anyone suggest a decent Kit from amazon (If decent kits exist on there) or direct me to a site where such things do exist. My budget is £100-200 but could stretch it slightly if nothing suitable is within that price range. Thanks in advance for your help. - James
