The tackle has to be right and as this type of fishing is about spotting the carp and making an accurate cast, the rod used is incredibly important. Anglers have to cast for this fish from 3 to 15 meters away. They have to be fast and they have to be accurate, and the rod has to be just right too.

Experts recommend that a 6 ‘ 8 weight, 8′6′ to 9′ graphite rod be used. This rod should have a good deal of backbone in the but and a medium tip. If the water is very snaggy and the fish are traditionally large (16 to 25lbs) the 9′ would be a better choice.

If the rod is too hard, the casting action is not as accurate and if it is too soft, it won’t bear the weight or the dirty tricks which a hooked carp can get up to. They are dirty fighters, and this is one of the reasons why fishing for carp is so popular.

Because this sport is about spotting the fish and casting accurately in its direction, it is necessary to have a great pair of polarized sunglasses.
