Cheers for your help I've already watched about 40 videos.a fair few by John kneebone his videos are really easy to follow.And his explanation of how he builds is rigs is easy.Also watching a large number of Carpology videos on equipment.Thanks again for your help and I will be back for more.

Guys I'm a total novice to all that go's on within the carp fishing world.Rigs are not to much of a problem as there are loads of YouTube videos to watch.And I've tied my own rigs for barbel fishing for years.But I'm baffled with things like solid bags and such.Can you help please.

Been a angler for 50 years never till now targeted Carp.Barbel have always been my fish of choice.So I'm up for some help.On tackle required especially rods and alarms.I have a limited budget so I'm looking for rods in the £150 bracket.So I can spend the winter months getting tackle together.Any help will be most appreciated.
