Great contribution Jon i really mean it , never a truer word or words said than what you have posted . Jeez i've been fishing for 41 years but im also a complete beginner at THIS game . Every day on the bank teaches and , to a lesser extent , every answer and opinion on here . Im a proper noddy and not ashamed of it , i know next to nothing about Carp fishing but still feel able to help . Its what Carping and Carp.com is all about . Well done , top post .

don't let anyone, especially youtube tell you how to fish. finding what works best for you is part of the great adventure that is carp fishing, it is ok to take on board the advice doled out at the carp.com pulpit but i bet none of the die hards on here take the info gleaned and use it undiluted. i'm not saying "don't ask for advice" because that would be stupid, even Dal, nick Tim or i have asked questions in the past, its how we learn. most of us are 'time served' but we can still learn from others, i have 50+ years from canal for gudgeon to carp but you should have seen my face when i first saw the bungee rig a couple of months ago bailiffs are only good for one thing and i will take that with a pinch of salt and that is bait info. i will use rigs from 3" to as long as 2ft depending on the lake or method that i am using at the time. enjoy your learning curve and tight lines
