| Re: floater fishing ''me too with a shakespear lincoln sidecast center pin loaded with 4lb fluro blue stren line!'' I like your style Dave , floater fishing is all about finess & a delicate approach, Though 5 or 6 lb line may suit some people or venues better . You'll need a rod light enough to hold for long periods & soft enough to allow you to use fine lines. My preferred method is a fly fishing set up , it's a lovely way to catch carp & if you know someone who can teach you the casting basics it's a great intro to fly fishing . I have seen people put a small fixed spool reel onto a fly rod for this type of fishing to make the casting easier , though a sidecast centrepin would be more fun( & the Lincoln is a very useable cheaper trotting reel too ). a 6,7or 8 weight rod is ideal , dog biscuit carp flies are available from Sportfish & DragonCarp and would work well with any setup you choose . Good luck & roll on those warm summer evenings ( I'll be trying for some carp off the top this evening ) |

however they are a great reel for freelining biscuits and can actually cast a fair way with it! __________________ fishing for fish is not as simple as you may think! |
