The Rod

An important piece of fishing gear that you can purchase would be the rod there are some rods out there that are designed for many different uses from match to carp to lure.
once you have found the type fishing area you like you can visit your local tackle shop and get a more specialist rod.

• 12ft in length the Daiwa Infinity Adv Carp Rod with a test curve of 3.75lb priced at £249.99(http://www.wickfordangling.co.uk/daiwa_carp/infinity_advanced_carp_rod.htm) would be up to the job for landing large carp .
• Where as the Shimano Beastmaster AX 11/12ft Medium Feeder Rod priced at £93.99 (http://www.wickfordangling.co.uk/shimano-co/beastmaster_ax_feeder_rods.htm) would work well for smaller fish, like bream.

The Reel

• When choosing your reel you must make sure that it is up to the job you want to use it for and the type area you are fishing.When fishing over large distances i would recommend a FOX STRATOS 12000 MAG REEL (http://www.foxint.com/catalogues-products.php?lang=e&product=1805&catalogue=1&section=71)
• For smaller lakes a SHIMANO TWINPOWER XT RB (http://fish.shimano-eu.com/publish/content/global_fish/en/nl/index/2009sehfish/reels/rear_drag/twinpower_xt_rb.html)

The Line

• For the mainline i would run 15lb Fox Warrior Carp Line Euro Plat Grey which can be picked up for around £9 this is very strong and will help for catching them large carp.
