    Equipment advice for a beginner

    Hey Earl!

          Welcome aboard!- thanks for joining CAG!- We have  a very active Kansas City Carpers group; Kevin Zirjacks leads us-he's based in Kansas and I in Missouri. You ask a loaded question!-

              I started with a split shot below a bullet weight, a #6 gamakatsu circle hook with sweet corn and caught hundreds and hundreds of carp, and still do, but gradually upped my game to Daiwa EmCastBR baitrunners, NGT pod with a variety of bite alarms, hangers, clips, etc. on 9ft stalker rods.....I am not casting more than 75 yards and I don't think you need to around here. I do mostly creek fishing in the winter and lake fishing in the spring/summer/fall. I have a creek set of 5-6 ft ultralight rods with NGT 15/24/30g method leads and a lake set of the aforementioned rods, pods and alarms and use a rubber net, sling, landing matt, scale, etc. etc.. I don't use the bite alarms and clips in the winter as the bite is very slow and you get few true runs.... I use a variety of panko/sweetcorn jello powder packs with or without chumming.

    So, in short, how do you want to fish?, what are you looking for?

    Here's what I caught yesterday and today-pretty average creek fish except the last one- a golden ghost!!................forgot my hat today though!

    Keep in touch!....... MO

    I've started fishing purposely for carp this year and would now like to put together some equipment especially for carp 

    I'd like advice on rods and spinning reels, hooks and equipment.

    Thanks
