This is the type of video I’ve always wanted to see but never got, thanks guys!

[@royvriezekolk2285]

Wow, I actually am trying to pick up carp fishing right now (always fished with the feeder) and I was looking for this exact video but couldn't find it anywere and now it's here! Thanks!!🎣

[@fishingtutorials]

Awesome! Glad we could help :)

[@hannalouiseb]

Myself and my partner love watching your videos and we love getting out fishing when we can! I’m wondering if you could maybe explain how to set up a carp rod from the line to adding a ledger weight, the hook length and maybe hair rig? We want to carp fish but this seems to be something we struggle to figure out haha! Hope you can help thank you!

Hi Hanna, we did a simple carp rig video, it might help! Here's a link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJvElKdoZ9JpeNE

@@hannalouiseb No problem! Glad to have helped!

[@medicatedflowers821]

Hanna Bielby you can catch big carp on floats too with maggots, corn pellets etc carp fishing is a great sport but enjoy the simple fishing before you start camping for carp as it can be soul destroying at times

[@hannalouiseb]

Medicated Flowers thank you, I went out yesterday and caught quite a big carp for my first try using luncheon meat. The guys by our local pond said the carp weren’t used to boilies so advised trying meat which worked a treat! Watching Carl and Alex helps with fishing so much, I enjoy float fishing and have done this for quite some time now so we’ve decided to explore with other tackle available. I’m looking forward to stretching further afield and exploring lady bower lake which is in the Peak District and stocked with carp, pike, trout and many more! Thank you for your help as always any help is always appreciated!

[@Emielio1]

My approach couldn't be more different, but I do thoroughly enjoy seeing other setups :) I only ever fish the margins and the drop-offs in lakes, so I use a set of 3 6ft Nash Scope Snides (2lb tc) with a Penn Spinfisher VI 4500 Live Liner and 2 Penn Slammer 460L Live Liners, all 3 loaded with 300 meters of 40 lb abrasion-resistant braid (with the drag always set very low, so that I don't damage the fish), and with end tackle consisting of a tungsten bead, line stopper, very short (5 cm) helicopter-style hooklink and a 1.4 ounce gripper lead that I use as a method feeder, in combination with a Nash Dwarf landing net and a thin unhooking mat that I never use because the grass at my main spot is fairly long and thick, without rocks or pebbles in it that could damage the fish. I keep the fish in the net anyway, even when unhooking them, so they have that as extra protection as well. The mat is useful to sit on when my friends come and visit me while fishing :P But keep it up, love this stuff! :)

-a set of 3 x 'Daiwa 10ft Crosscast 3lb' test curve rods (shorter 10ft ones being best for more general fishing, longer 12ft rods only needed when fishing long range more than 70 yards. And on fast flowing waters.) - 1x 'Daiwa 10ft Crosscast 3.5lb' test curve for marker/ spomming out bait. - 'Korda Tip Safe' set for each rod to keep them held neatly and keep the tips from snapping in transit. And mean you're in less need for rod Holdalls as keeps weight down. - 'Daiwa GS 4000' reels for the 10ft rods are light weight, loaded up with 'Korda 12lb CarpLine' (A durable monofilament mainline) - 'Daiwa Tournament s 5000 T Big Pits' reels for the 12ft rods also loaded up with the same 'Korda 12lb CarpLine' - 'Korda 20lb Sub-braid' sinking braided mainline loaded up on a couple of spare spools incase the need to switch if fishing towards a snag. - 'Delkim Txi-D' bite alarms - Korda Black and White Bobbins - 'Korda Black Singlez' adjustable bank sticks - 'Aqua Atom Landing Net' - 'Korda Basix Carp Cradle' padded unhooking mat - 'Aqua Black Series Rucksack' (small or Large) - 'Korda Tackle Box' inside is: Korda Braided Hair needle, hooks, baits stops, lead clips, 'Dark Matter' braid, - 'Korda Mini Box' which fits inside the tackle box which contains all the swivels and small rig components. - 'Korda Compac' (Medium) for things likes Spoms. - 'Korda Compac' (Small) for leads - 'Korda Compac Air Dry Bag' if using boilies. - 'Guru Bait Box' ideal for smaller baits like maggots, worms and ideal for PVA bag mixes :) Thanks, glad you found it helpful!

[@matthewcadle7200]

All good information given again, very clear as always!. Only niggle is that all the opportunities Nash done/helped you with, I would of thought if it was just for the plug on small 9foot rods that scopes is what you started with, so out of respect I would of added the starting of 9 foot stalkers were scopes out of pure respect. And then gone on to say but now we have moved onto rods by Diawa. I no it must be hard but remember where your routes begin in carp fishing. Fair play for doing what you do with such passion and dedication as it is your work!. And you both doing a grand job may I add. Keep it up. On goes the tin hat for the keyboard warriors 👍😁 I have no connection with Nash before the bombardment of eruption starts😉 keep safe!

[@fishingtutorials]

Thanks Matthew, we understand where you're coming from and we will always be grateful of our friends at Nash. They are great guys! The only problem is if we'd mentioned that we previously used scope rods is that then we'd feel inclined to also mention that before scopes we used Rovex rods and before Rovex we used 30Plus rods and before that we used Mitchel. haha. :) Our roots didn't really begin in carp fishing, we roach fished using bamboo cane rods for quite a few years. Haha. ;)
