Carp Fishing Tackle Online

When you start out Carp fishing you are going to need spend some money as Carp fishing requires some kit. Here is a brief guide on Carp fishing set up for beginners. Start with a light kit using the stalking method, but most will want to start in the most common way by using a two or three static rod system.

You can build a setup from scratch or buy a ready made Carp fishing kit available from suppliers.

Rods You can get very good quality Carp fishing rods these days. As a beginner a 12ft 2.5lb rod is ideal, you don’t want to be starting off  with casting rods, an all action Through Rod will be best.

Reels For beginners a free spool reel, better known as bait runner reel, is probably ideal and the easiest to get used to.  This will let the fish run off with the bait so you won’t have to go in the water to retrieve your rod.

Bite Alarm You will also need a bite alarm as these are invaluable visual and audible indicators of bites. Look for ones with a volume control so you can turn the volume down.

Rod Supports Stainless steel banksticks will do the job nicely, it is best to avoid aluminium ones as they tend to bend and suffer from oxidization. It is worth considering screw in banksticks, as they are easier to get in to the ground in dry bank conditions.

Line and Rigs You can easily get excellent quality fishing line at low cost; you should be looking for about a 12lb line. This is just about right for a beginner. The size and shape of the hooks will be dependent on the design of the rig you are using. You can make your own Carp rigs or buy Carp fishing rigs off the shelf.

Landing Nets and Unhooking Mats There is a wide range of landing nets to choose from. A good quality one is an essential part of the Carp angler’s kit, not only to make things easier for you but also for the welfare of the fish. Nets with a coarse mesh will damage the fish, lifting scales and damaging the mucus protecting the fish. You should use a fine mesh landing net to reduce the possibility of damaging the fish; you may also find that it is a rule at the fishing venue. For the same reasons a good quality unhooking mat is essential and will also be required by the fishing venue.

Bite Indicators There is mixed opinion on whether a bite indicator is required, but they really can help you as they give an indication on what the fish is doing with the bait. Get one.

In about 4 hours time (6am uk time) i am going fishing for bream perch and other coarse fish but mainly bream
1,is this a good set up
okuma reel spooled with 5lb line,xl 6ft 7 okuma rod,size 16 hook with 1 red maggot (fishing at a depth of 2ft which is about a quater of the depth of the water i fish).
2,is there anything you think i should change?
3,should i groundbait before i set up my gear or afterwords
4,the heaviest of the fish in the pond i fish are carp at over 10lb will these break 5lb mono line for definate or should it be ok.
thanks in advance
tight lines
B.T

what is bream perch?i thought it was just perch. all of that is good. i fish in like 1ft of water and catch a lot of perch, some crappies. if you wanna catch big perch, use fatheads. they are little minnows about 1-2 inches in length. thats how i catch some big ass perch. the carp might be able to break the line but i doubt it. if you reel in slow and tire the carp out, it will be easy to land. good luck fishing

I’m a complete newbie to angling, and I’m going to my local coarse lake for the first time this weekend to give it a go! As it’s my first time I’m going to get a peg on the ‘novice’ lake that’s stocked mostly with silverfish and a few small carp.

I’ve done a bit of casting practise on a field near my house, and must admit I find a fixed-spool reel quite fiddly as I have butter fingers! I find it much easier to cast using my Dad’s fly reel, which has no gears. Could I use this for the sort of angling I’ll be doing at the lake? I’m only doing it for a couple of hours of quiet fun anyway, not for any sort of competition.

Also, does having coloured line have any disadvantage over clear line when on a lake? A friend has a spare spool of 10lb line she’s let me have, but it’s yellow.

Thanks!

People have said centrepins & fly reels are different – true. But put a lot of backing on a fly reel & the experience will not be utterly disimilar.

Your current problems with the fixed spool reel will seem like nothing compared to the issues you’ll have with a centrepin – slow retrieve & having to feed off line to cast will become very wearing.
On small, fast waterways where casts are short (no need to feed of yards of line) & control a priority a centrepin makes sense but on lakes there’s a good reason why 99/100 anglers use FSRs.

Check you’re using the FSR correctly – unless you’re a real window licker it should be very simple; now if you were trying to cast with a multiplier I could understand…

10lb is too much (thick/stiff) for silverfish so the colour is moot; 1-200yds of c.4lb is more what you’re after for mixed float fishing.

i am very serious about becoming a pro bass angler. How could i become one? Do you have to have giant boats to be a pro bass angler. I’m not rich at all and i’m from southeast kentucky. I’m only a teenager but, i know i have what it takes to be a pro. I know a whole lot about every lure imaginable. and mainly fish spinnerbaits.
what kind of training would i need?
If i have to have hi tech gear that i can;t afford,
Can you become a professional angler in something else like catfish or carp in the united states?

It takes ALOT to be a professional. What I would do is save up money for some bass tournaments. if your good enough and win a couple, you could possibly get sponsored. All you got to do is show your magic in a couple tournaments, and get to know the right people.
I hope I helped.

I’m new to fishing, and have taken a couple of trips to a local lake (UK) to go after the smaller carp and tench. I have the bare minimum of kit but want to get more.

I wouldn’t mind going after the smaller coarse fish, as I’ve been told the whole process of rigging up, catching and landing them is more beginner- friendly than the bigger carp, barbel or pike etc. Apparently they’re also good sport when you use light gear?

What should I look towards getting in terms of kit? I have a Shakespeare reel with a spare spool, so I was thinking maybe 4 lb mainline (a friend has a bulk spool) to a 2 lb hook length and around a size 14 hook? I take it maggots would be the right bait, and what about the right rod? I presume a very light spinning-style rod might suit?

Any help welcome- as I say I am a complete novice, so please feel right to advise and put me right if need be!
Note: Sorry, I realise now that I didn’t mean a spinning rod- my mistake.

not a spinning rod thats for obviously spinning for pike /perch

i would use 12-13ft match rod the line you mentioned but maybe an 18 hook for maggots

In about 4 hours time (6am uk time) i am going fishing for bream perch and other coarse fish but mainly bream

the line the reel all sound good
actually all I can advice is perhaps an alternative bait like crickets (bugs)
also you can try a bit deeper if the weather has cooled lately.
most of all have fun
