Easily one of the most popular and best selling reels is this little beauty from Daiwa. It is a superb reel for nearly every aspect of coarse fishing, in fact, I even use mine when I go chucking lures for bass on the coast. I've used them while trotting for barbel and chub, float fishing for tench and chucking feeders for carp, often favouring them over my more expensive reels.
They are durable, lightweight and I particularly love the red and black detailing on the reel, put simply there isn't a better or more versatile reel for the money.

I am fortunate enough to own this pole and yes, paying this much for a pole is extreme and I wouldn't recommend it if I didn't have one myself, but there isn't a pole out there better than the Air Z Pro. If you are in the market for one, this is by far the cheapest I have personally seen it, so don't wait around if you have been thinking about getting one.

If you are new to barbel fishing, this rod is perfect for beginners and experienced anglers alike. It has all the power needed to fish even the biggest rivers like the Thames and the Trent, as well as being delicate enough to fish the smaller venues without feeling over-gunned. If you intend to fish everywhere, go for the 1.75lb, opting for the larger 2.25lb+ if you only visit the bigger rivers. Even if you decide barbel fishing isn't for you, they double up as great floater rods for carp or bottom rods for tench and bream.
The white tip really stands out making bite indication much easier (not that you often need it with barbel) and the overall finish on the rod is lovely too, giving it a far more premium feel.

Pros
- Superb finish to the rods
- Really well made and a great entry-level rod
Cons
- Not designed for huge leads and feeder - over 150g
