In my small local lake I've been having huge success on the method feeder but my rod and line keep consistently meeting fish that my tackle can't handle. The areas I'm having most success in have too many snags for the carp to run into and when I try to halt them with my 8lb mainline it's often been game over when I'm into the ones in the double figures (there's fish up to 31lb in there). I've recently gone from my light carp rod to a proper 3.25lb Sonik carp rod and now I need to upgrade my line to match. What strength and type of mainline plus a hooklength line would you guts recommend consideridering playing the fish in open water isn't an option as I'm fishing right up against reed banks (and next to a narrow passageway lined by reeds both sides) and tree roots. I need to be able to keep the fish away from these when they first bolt off.
all help appreciated
thanks
