Recommedation: Mid-Tier Carp fishing reel and rod ??

[Carp-Zilla]

Hi fellows,

I am currently fishing with my muskellunge equipment and thought I would acquire a mid-tier reel and rod for carp fishing.  I am considering the following reel, but I am certainly still open for suggestions:

Daiwa 23 EMBLEM 45 SCW QD OT  CAD $299

Thank you in advance,

CZ

I use the 35 version for feature finding and spodding so basically it does the most casting: compact, lightweight and looks good.

Got the Basia's, Custom Tournies and Big Pit Baitrunners but would be happy to go with a set of 35 or 45 Emblems - no worries 👍
