Warm Greetings from a cold and foggy Hildesheim

Dear all,
thanks for the opportunity to join the ranks of such fine and proficient anglers bearing knowledge of traditional tackle and methods beyond compare.
After browsing the wast topics in different depth’I was obliged to try and join the forum, as I am looking for at least some guidance on my way to build a proper base of traditional fishing tackle.
My most urgent point being, finding the right cane rod to begin with.
I fell in absolute love with centrepin fishing a year ago. It felt absolutely natural to approach fish that way. The direct, undampened contact evoking early childhood memories of catching carp on a stick - with NO reel back than. Pure enjoyment. A little bit like my first fly fishing experiences when turning 14.
Now I am looking for a decent cane rod but am really unsure where to begin.
I like longer rods, but also to go carp stalking from time to time.
Maybe I won’t be getting around a nice Avon rod AND a 10’ Carp cane?
If anyone has any suggestions for a split cane with a nice and delicate action to it - I am not looking for broomstick after all- without the need to buy a Barder Rod for example, some direction would be highly appreciated and I’d be very grateful.
Kindest regards
