Need some help for carp fishing
Posted: Wed Feb 24, 2021 10:26 pm
Hello,
I am interested in trying to fish for carp, but I have been unsuccessful in the past. I fish from shore and usually ponds and rivers. I have tried using an egg sinker rig with corn. Tried circle hooks from size 6 up to size 1. Not sure what size would be best. I only have bass gear and not sure which would be best to use, should I actually hook into a carp...
Fenwick hmg 6'9 ml-f with a Pflueger President XT 30 spooled with 10 lb braid.
St Croix Mojo Bass 6'8 m-xf with a Pflueger President XT 30 spooled with 10 lb braid.
St Croix Avid X 6'6 Mh-f casting rod with a Daiwa Tatula 100 spooled with 50 lb braid.
Shimano 6'10" Mh-xf casting rod, no reel.
Will this work or do I need carp specific gear? Hook size?
Thanks for your time and help.
