All You Need to Hook Big Carp


Contrary to its name, the European common carp actually originated from Central Asia, wherein they were farmed for hundreds of years as supplement to the rice diet of country peasants. It was from these beginnings in Japan that the famous brocaded carp, otherwise known as Koi, were first developed. When it did make its journey to the West, a number of countries, including Australia, Canada, and North America, classified them as a pest due to their ability to survive and multiply in a range of different environments. Nonetheless, if you prefer the rather more sedate pastime of freshwater fishing compared to the more active pursuit of beach or boat sea fishing, going after big carp can become habit-forming.

Selecting the Right Fishing Rod


The quality of the fishing and camping gear you source can make all the difference from bagging your best catch to having your most memorable camping experience. The way in which the components interact with one another to work at their maximum performance to the longevity of the equipment all has a significant bearing on the initial outlay of capital required and the experience enjoyed. When shopping, many people make the mistake of purchasing low-priced fishing rods and assume that there is no difference in terms of quality. However, with a poor rod and kit, many problems can arise such as backlashes and snags. More so, cheap rods end up breaking easily just when you need them to perform. The Rod Action A rod’s action refers to where and how the blank flexes. That alone determines its performance when under load.
