walshie 2,804 Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 I think I'm going to have a go at the fishing competition, but I have no idea what gear to use. I had all my fishing stuff nicked out my car years ago and never really got back into it. I've bought bits and pieces since then, but I don't have what you'd call a decent setup. Here's what I have: 3 x chunky carp rods, reels and 15lb line A "specimen rod" (has this written on it) 11ft 1 3/4lb t.c. A carp size landing net and handle Assorted hooks and weights. What would I seriously need to buy to make up an outfit suitable? Then I can scour ebay. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

walshie 2,804 Posted July 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 I've got a keepnet but the bit you screw the bankstick onto has broken off. Spose it still works though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's the thing. i've no idea what I'm after as i don't know what's in there or how to catch it. Hence the post. The only thing I've fished for in the last few years is catfish and I doubt there's any of them in there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
