A yellow pop up. Because I've found them good for stalking and getting a quick bite.

Superstittions I use to do them all the time, for fishing and football they work about twice. Best carp superstition which works 99% of the time for me be on the fish.

I use to like a mini social while still watching the water but yeah some anglers don't go fishing there just socialize. There think there going fishing but there not there going to socialise of coarse nothing is wrong with that. But if these anglers really wanna catch fish there not going to learn by standing talking. I've been there done it. I go to the bank to fish and not talk to people I'd only talk to people now on the bank if i've knew them for atleast 5 years.

I do more lure fishing than I do carp these days. Basically you don't need big rods just about around 7ft rods do the job. And basically a rod which will cast the weight of lures your using. Just small 1000 size reels or maybe 3000 if you're using 30lb plus line. When it comes to line always use braid unless if that's banned then use fluorocarbon.
