Carp Fishing Equipment
Which rods should I buy? Which reels are best? Do I need a one-man or two-man bivvy?
Carp fishing equipment isn’t cheap, so it pays to know exactly what you’re getting before you spend your hard-earned cash.
Our reviews are written by anglers and focus on the real-world pros and cons, helping you decide what’s worth buying — and what isn’t.
Carp Fishing Bait
As carp anglers, we often spend thousands on tackle, then try to cut corners when it comes to bait.
Are boilies always the best option? When should you use natural baits? Is it better to fish for a bite at a time, or “fill it in”?
Our guides break down the best bait choices for different times of year, how much to use, and how often to bait — so you can fish with confidence.
Carp Fishing Rigs
You can buy the best gear and the best bait, but it’s the last metre that often makes the difference.
When should you fish a bottom bait? When is a pop-up the better option? And is a zig rig the right approach for the conditions?
Our guides focus on presentation and rig choice, helping you make better decisions and improve your catch rate session after session.
Carp Fishing Tactics
“You can’t catch them if they aren’t in front of you.”
It’s a familiar saying in carp fishing — and one that couldn’t be more accurate. Watercraft underpins every successful session, from finding feeding fish to choosing the right area of the lake.
Our guides focus on reading the water and applying proven carp fishing tactics, helping you put your rigs where the fish actually are.
