Carp Fishing Tackle

Start with a 12ft 2.75lb test curve rod, a 5000-8000 size baitrunner reel, 15lb mainline, a landing net (42"+), unhooking mat, and a selection of size 6-8 hooks. Add boilies and a few rig components and you're ready for your first session.

A 12ft rod with 2.75lb-3lb test curve covers most UK carp venues from commercial lakes to large gravel pits. Look for a through-action blank for good fish-playing control and casting accuracy.

(1) Tie a knotless knot on a size 6-8 hook leaving a long tag end. (2) Thread a boilie onto the hair and secure with a boilie stop. (3) Attach a swivel to the other end. (4) Add a lead clip or inline lead above the swivel. Drop it in the margin to test before casting.

Fruity and sweet boilies (tutti frutti, pineapple, strawberry) work brilliantly in warm water. Fishmeal boilies are reliable year-round. For best results, match your boilie to the venue's existing baiting patterns.
