If you don't need to cast out far I would try using a very light weight and a light bait such as corn. And also use a pva nugget on your hook when you cast. So that your rig will slowly sink and rest gently on top of the weed bed. Also use heavier line and make sure your rig is safe if a carp snagging up is a high probability. Barbless hooks would be a good ida so if your line breaks the hook will hopefully fall out the carps mouth sooner or later.
Also using a shockleader would be a good idea so that you can bully the fish away from the weed when your playing them. The shockleader should reduce the chance of a hook pull.
