​@@fishingtutorials: Just found this, Carl; haven't been on #KZbin much lately, but it's great to see. I know I was overwhelmed when I went back fishing, during the pandemic; a video like this would've done wonders...

Hey there, I just wanted to tell you that I‘ve been exclusively spin fishing for many years now and after discovering your main channel, thanks to your appearance on those german fishing channels, and after watching a lot of your videos, I tried going back to the roots and fishing for coarse fish again. You made me rediscover the fun in this type of fishing and I also learned a lot I did not know before. Your videos are both instructive and entertaining and it‘s always fun to watch. And the amount of work and dedication you put into those videos is on another level 💪🏻 Greetings from Germany ✌🏻

[@TheLengle]

Thanks for this. Super helpful. I'm only just getting into fishing my late 30s and getting outdoors with the kids and learning alongside them... Well it's early days, but it's been refreshing and a lot of fun so far. Thanks for all the effort that goes into making these videos.

[@fishingtutorials]

Ahh you're welcome mate, glad you found it helpful! Great to find a new hobby :) makes me super happy each time the tutorials are able to help someone learn. All the best!

[@jamess1729]

Great video. However back in the day re carping people bought 10 and 11ft rods until the early to mid 90’s only then did carpers opt for 12 and 13ft rods. The trend now however as you rightly point out is to be back to 10ft carp rods- everything goes in circles! Keep up the good work

[@2strokelifestyle465]

Got my campaign and day log books last week bro 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 so happy the first merch I have ever got !

Thanks for the support!!

great video Carl can you do one for reels and fishing line next ?

[@fishingtutorials]

Yes I'll look into this for sure!

Thanks for the video Carl. Maybe a follow up video for Specialist / Avon rods? For me they pretty much cover all if the fishing. Tight Lines 🎣

[@Annonymous112]

Hey Carl, I just wanted to drop a note that I bought your book and it is magnificent! I would say I am an experienced angler but I thoroughly loved reading it. It is of high quality, beautifully illustrated and full of great information and advice! You should be very proud and I have ordered a bunch for family and friends!

[@DDGXMUSIC]

Brilliantly explained with excellent clarity Carl. Top vid as always.

[@fishingtutorials]

Thanks man :) I'm glad.

[@ZAOutdoors335]

This video made my Saturday

[@Zackp90]

Watching your videos and seeing your rigs vs what we do in the states is super interesting to say the least alot of our decisions on rods are based in class of rod and length and that dictates our reels. For examples when trout fishing we will take ultralight 4'6" to 6'6" rods or bass fishing we look for medium to medium heavy 6' to 7'6" rods. It is so unique to see other rods for species we either don't have or are not in the general area we fish in.

[@Gizzzzzy]

Great video, I use my old carp rods to go sea fishing with, works OK so far 👍

[@stephenbuckham9964]

Great video very informative for anyone who is thinking of getting into fishing

[@fishingtutorials]

Thanks Stephen, I'm glad you think so 👍

[@josephscott4997]

Can’t wait to give this a watch after I’ve been even fishing

[@sgtnutnut2466]

Great vid Carl, while i was watching the vid it reminded me of when i was a kid and my dad gave me his float rod. It was a 14' fiberglass rod and it was heavy as hell 😁👍

[@fishingtutorials]

Thank mate, I'm glad :)

[@T-rex-dl4pg]

Was just considering what rod to buy. Amazing video 😁

[@fishingtutorials]

Glad it could help mate!

Useful information Thank you ❤

I find my TFG all in one helps out a lot, it lives in my car and can be used for most river situations.

[@jeremywildsmith9454]

Great video! Thanks Carl! Good to know what I'm looking for when buying new rods! Would you make a similar video about reels?

Thanks carl! Now will my parent allow me to buy a new rod!!!😀

[@Notfroggy1]

Hi Carl, can you make a video on how to use spring feeders for carp?

[@Hascienda27]

I’ve bought A spinning rod thinking it was dropshot and i ordered a float rod and got sent a feeder, then the correct float rod reorder has now been lost, so not my best month for buying rods, cheers for the guide tho 😂

[@stevewilliams5428]

Go into your local tackle shop? It's much better than online when starting out.

[@jaydenrabie1393]

Hey Carl love you're videos, I just want to know what line you use for carp fishing and how strong is it.

[@tarantulaunited3747]

I've been watching your videos because I've started to learn to fish and I have to say you make it look easy lol 😆 I don't even know what type of fishing I want to do in my head I want to catch monsters. But me being a beginner what type of rod should I be getting. I live in Glasgow and where I live I stay next to the river Clyde. I was just looking for info.

[@firebug1658]

i find it interesting how most of England started float fishing because i started barbel fishing on the river ribble

[@yorkiedave9640]

As a newbie, Rods is something I've had issues with ! I've bought so many and all the wrong ones most of the time . I caught my first 13lb carp last year, and my rod snapped on me, and that was a lesson learned . I need to invest in some new kit this season, I've a nice little 9ft nash carp rod that is perfect for where I fish for carp . Could I use this for other fishing? I need small and transportable rods. Float fishing is my goto at the moment, but I fish carp here and there, too . What would you recommend, Carl ? love your content glad to see tutorials still happening 👏

[@soccerfiend03]

Lots of great information here, Carl! I checked out the behind the scenes video on your More Fish with Carl channel and it was one of my favorite videos in a long time! How dare you say that Americans have unhealthy eating habits. LOL We eat terribly over here. Don't get me wrong, the food usually tastes great but it is terrible for you.

[@jokubasbareika957]

Hi, what reel do you use for your big lure set up and what company makes the 40-140g rod for pike, thanks.

[@AdamsAnglingTv]

i use Avon 1 an half lbs tc rod for commercial fishin lakes for f1etc. an my speci carp set up 9ft 3lb nash dwarfs rod my syndicate lake love all sorts fishin an all fish🎣

[@tcox8729]

Hey Carl, I just bought me a 10ft feeder rod to fish for small carp and suckers here in the US after watching your video. I was wondering about your opinion on the daiwa gs 4000 Ltd to go along with it.

[@user-ym5rq8tl6c]

Hey could you make a video on how to fish a deep lake ?

[@SK4O]

hi should your spod and marker rod be the same size as your main rods

[@CarpAndMore]

I would definitely buy 12ft 3.5lb carp rods but bank don’t allow me now 🙈 Great video thanks

[@FPT118]

I have a question.Is a max 20gram lure spin rod good for pike?

[@mitchellpage6854]

What were the makes and models of the lure rods used?

[@jimstinchcombe9667]

I own a shakespeare 1847 strike 12ft rod from back a while it says b25 action what type of fishing is this rod designed for and what does b25 action mean,thanks

[@chrissalter4267]

What was that lure rode called for all around mate? 8 to 8.5 ft one and what size real. Everytime i search for videos it just brings up ultra light. I want a decent budget 8ft light to medium or a medium action can you help please ?

[@damiansilson3599]

Bit of a weird question but what class is a match rod be in? Because the only information I have on all 4 of my rods is length, number of pieces and match? For example 10dt match 2 pieces.

[@neilparker7477]

My son has been using an 8ft dropshot rod for float fishing for the last few months. He caught his pb, a mirror carp of 11lbs and now refuses to use any other rod.

[@michaelmcloughlin9908]

What is the difference between a quiver rod and a feeder rod?

[@EB.2010]

I flog fished with a 1.6M rod and ended up catching 2 roach at my town Lake. Good or nah?

[@sturoe7361]

I'm lazy I just buy Avon rods for float and ledger rods, 11ft 1lb and 12 ft 1.5lb .do have 12ft 3lb test curve for carp and pike dead baiting .never got into lure fishing.

[@fish-hd3yf]

hmmm..nice :>

[@rsturb01984]

Great video mate I use a Nash dwarf 9ft for carp fishing when out for a few hours stalking and use it for all my lure fishing trout and pike and perch and it's done me proud for many of years and I've also used my other carp rods for sea fishing on the harbour wall at Bridlington and always seem to catch more using my carp rods sea fishing if I was to use my actual sea fishing rod lol

[@damiensmalley2365]

So i dont fish maybe a little when i was younger, ive been looking at getting into a bit of carp fishing so the question is what price would i be looking at for a starter set up Any comments are much appreciated

[@yosipko5282]

Just buy feeder rod. I use it for spin, float, feeder, lead... The best option for fishing.

[@europeanfishing104]

👍👍🔥

[@memeland5425]

Literally just bought a new rod. Why couldn’t this video be out a few hours earlier 😢😢😂😂

[@fishingtutorials]

Sorry mate!

[@Lindisfarne666]

In America I rarely see anyone using anything longer than 8' rods. Most people use 6-7 foot rods. No one here fishes for carp tho either lol

[@brian1204]

While it isn’t as popular, there are plenty of us that fish for carp, buffalo, suckers, gar, and other less popular species. In fact in North/South Carolina there are paylakes that specialize in carp fishing tournaments. Also, fly fishing for carp is growing more popular. I commonly use 9 to 12 foot rods for carp fishing from shore.

[@Lindisfarne666]

@@brian1204 of course when i say no one, i meant its not popular like it UK.

Ugly stik GX2 ... The One rod to rule all !

For sure.. with the aid of a boat or 140m of nash bushwacker 😉😂 The Ugly stik elite (rated upto 60g) surprisingly worked pretty well spoding out around 80yards. my main rod is Ugly stik 9ft medium action Gx2. From catchin 1z gudgeon with a feeder to double sized carp & pike🤘
