I have been fishing for a long time and want to start carp fishing ca anyone give me any tips on all the gear I need to start fishing for carp.

The rod specifics (T/C and the like) will depend mainly on the distances you will need to cast so some information would be really helpful re what you have now and where you intend to launch your carping venture.

You'll probably have most of what you need to actually hook a carp. First item on your shopping list might be an unhooking mat and a large net.

 

What gear have you got so far?

if yuove only got a limited amount of money then argos has got some good carp rods

there not the best of all carp rods but there good enough for beginners

best to get your hooks and weights from a tackle shop

if you thinking about doing nights then a good bivvy will help to

hope this helps

Yer I agree with mike. When I first started fishing I went to argos and got a starter rod and it is still going strong now along with my new rod!!(I've had it for about 3 years). They are well worth their money!!!!!! (I think any way)
