Mostly carp

Post by john evans »

Going to fishery on monday,,mostly carp upto double figures,might be a couple 20s but most high single n over 10s,,usual spread of other species,,got float rod,feeder rods etc but if targeting carp ive a pair of drennan avons,,with 1 1/4 tc tips would these be adequate if using smallish method feeders? Behind delks n wee swingers??? Or just go down the tip route, ive 2 heavy feeder rods

That gear should be capable of handling carp to 20 John as long there's no snags etc, I've caught carp to high 20's on barbel rods, no problem.
Marcraft are for queers.

They'll be fine John, doubles fight harder than 20's anyway. The record was broken on a bamboo Avon one time.
