Thanks Dan, I'm into medium size fish and wondered if a roach road might have been a step up from a match rod but, apparently not.

A coarse or match rod would be great for all medium size fish ( i take medium by 1-6lbers?) they will give you more of an adreanline rush as the fish will appear to fight harder on lighter takle apposed to a strong 2.5lb TC carp rod

As Dan siad a Roach Rod doesn't exist BUT in the past Poles were called Roach Poles when they first came on the scene

I can also remember some guys on the Trent sticking rings and a reel on some 9m ones to make long rods for Stret pegging
