Hi all thanks for the replies, given me something to think about. Im also thinking of getting a 6ft for close in and a 9ft for a bit further out with a controller.

Any advice on 6ft would be appreciated. Would a shimano 5500 size be too big, ive got a spare that I could use or would a 4000 size be better?

Thanks again.

Hi all,

Wondering if you could give me some advice please.

Im looking for a decent stalking rod and reel come to think of it.
Im thinking i want the versatility of a 9 foot rod so i can cast out a bit but also fish in tight swims.

I had a search on the site and a few seem to like the Nash scope rods. Are the black ops worth the money?

Cheers.

Hello everyone, Ian here.
I been into all sorts of fishing since i was a kid.
Moved to Sweden about 5 years ago and not been carp fishing much. Mainly been fishing for perch which we eat here and taste great!
Got back to carp fishing this autumn and really fell back in love with it.
Im not up to date with all the current methods so i joined up here to get some tips!
Cheers 🍻
