This was brought for me from my girlfriend she isn't well off but spent the last bit of money on me fir this kit or similar. I was made fun of by other carp angalers, being called a tramp and all that. At one point so eone told me to fuck off back to Poland 😮 I was quit new to carp fishing at the time. Came from float foshing a feeder. But i tel you what I showed them all up was 3 other people on this lake taking the piss out of me. With all there fancy gear And caught more than all them put together. Not everyone can afford this top carp gear. Only thing that i found was really shit was the bivvyv its more a wind day shelter.. isnt waterproof what so ever. Nice one chunk. I don't usually comment, but this brought me back to my roots. Ive swaped it all put now since ive soend 1000s on gear lol 😅😂. But kinda wish i didn't looking back at this. You really dknt beed expensive hesr to have fun carp fishing .. but i do love buying tackle lol. 😅😂. Should have just done drugs would be cheaper 😅😂😅😂😅😅😂. Stil have all thebgear now and i lend it to my pals that dont have fishing gear. If they cone usually get them a day licence. They still catch on them rods and reels one of mine was wonkey too 😂😅😂😅😂😅😂 nice too see wonkey eye guid guy still working 💪 also the lucky rod 😅😂😅😂😅.

When I started carping 20yr+ ago, I had a zebco (Argos) setup. People laughed but I still caught fish. I don't know why beginners buy thousands of ££ of kit, most of them quit after a couple of sessions. Now when I upgrade kit I give my old kit to youngsters who are really into it but can't afford full setups
