Here's the gear you need for carp fishing

If you get into carp fishing you'll learn that while high-end gear is nice to have and can make a huge difference on hard-fished waters, we can get by with modest gear in most of North America.

* Rods: A 12-13 foot carp rod that will cast a 3-ounce sinker and 6 ounces of bait 100 yards is crucial in places like England, and rods like that cost $400 or more. In this country bank anglers rarely have to cast more than 50 yards, so an 11-12 footer that costs $50-$100 is a fine starter rod.
