hi all. just like to say hello. great site,good reports and general angling info. i've just got back into fishing after a year or so lay-off and am finding it great at the moment having caught my personal best carp of 12lb8oz last month and then only last monday to beat it again with a 15lb12oz ghost!. i am really getting into carp fishing using a 13m garbolino pole. i have just upgraded my elastic to 15 hollow core to hopefully slow em down a bit as i found 14 to be getting stretched a little too much with the size of fish i seem to be catching at the moment!. tight lines. Darren.

Welcome! I noticd you said your rod was 13 metres. That's like 35 feet. How are you able to fish with such a big rod? I don't fish Carp, but myrod is 6 feet and I always think those guys who saltwater with 12 foot5ers have big rods. Am I misunderstanding this?

Hi darren,

I am in with the other 'fluff chuckers' fly fishers though mostly as i dont do much corse fishing at all...

a pole not a rod mate!

Thanks! Being that I'm not familiar with Carp fishing and the accompanying lexicon, I did not understand what the word meant. Also, in my area, we use pole on place of rod, which confused me even more. Thanks for clarifying that for me!
