What is your favorite type of carp?

[Guest Josh Iddon]

What is your favorite type of carp??? Mirror (State scale look- linier, Starburst, ECT) Common, Ghost, Wild, Koi.

 

Mine would be Ghost Commons there just abit different and because the Mirrors can look a bit scaby!!

Nothing beats the the classy look of a Common.

For fight it's got to be a big Koi.

Definitely common, the darker the better. Not keen on leathers but a nice old scaley mirror is a close second. Lovely! (Spring's nearly here, I can see them now, mooching around the margins...)

Fully-scaled for me by a very wide margin

oven baked in black butter for me please

From where I come its the CARNATIC CARP.

Pound for pound it comes close to giving Mahseer a run for its money.

A bold fish, caught on paste, livebait, plug,spoon and spinner, oh yeah fly as well!!

 

Cheers,

A goshtie for me

[peter mccue]

Long lean Commons that have that Wildie look about them & threaten to dislocate a joint somewhere if you try to bully them

 

Incidentally, some of the best fights for me have come from Ghosties of the same ilk.

[Dick Dastardly]

Big uns mate! But seriously I think it must be fully scaled mirrors.

[Mark Quinney]

Big commons, they fight like billy ho..... second would have to be Ghosties of any description....
