hi sam

 

depending on what sort of cash your lookin to part with, i would buy a second hand complete setup.

 

as for general knowledge about carpin i would get on a decent bait. Alot of people spend a fortune on the gear, then buy a cheap bait and wonder why they dont catch. also spend a bit of time trying to find the fish i know it sounds obvious but many carpers pick a swim cos its comfy and not too far to walk there gear to (i've been guilty of this in the past and its fair to say it has cost me a few fish)

 

let me know how you get on

IMHO providing the water is not under extreme angling pressure then the quality of gear is not one of the top three factors to consider, neither is the bait, the three important things are location, location and location. DOn't cast to far there will be features (most likely) right under your rod tip so to speak.

the second little "bivvy" is just a sort of wind break and is included.
