When I first started it mate I just used my spinning rod, as long as you have your line tight you will notice bites when your rod starts wobbling!

sorry lads bout all the questions some people here havent long answered my last question about winter fishing, but how would i set a basic one up i presume hier rig, swivel, running feeder or arlesley bomb then set up my bank sticks and bobins, then would i switch on the free spool switch on the bait runner reel and reduce drag so its easy to run off with the line?

the lake i use has silvers, small bream ( skimmers i think) and carp up to 15lbs i preferer the carp as the others are too small and just tend to give in and no sport, but aslong as something fishy jumps onto my hook i really dont mind i just love fishing, my wife is allready threatening divorce and its only been every other sunday since about august.

Nick R thanks didnt see the link should be a great help.
