hi i went to france it 2009 and only had rods of 2.75 test curve and they felt a bit weak for the thirties i landed and this time i am going to a lake with much bigger fish so i was wondering what test curve rods you used as i was hoping to pick some up before i go

[CarpCatcherSkid]

Hi mate... I used 3lb test curve rods and they were just fine! I've known people to use much lighter test curve... just depends on your own preference really

[nolangreen]

wow, nice fish. I'm just starting to get big into fishing here in Nebraska, and carp are going to be one of my first targets. What type of line do you prefer 30lb braid? 20lb mono?

[CarpCatcherSkid]

I can't state my preference as I have only fished mono... but I've no reason to change really!
