limmy Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Hello , Being very new to carp fishing Me and my lad are going to a small pond where the carp are known to take off the surface with bread and dog biscuits. What will i need and how do i set my rod up to fish the surface? Any tips and hints would be great Limmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garysj01 Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 I use the fox bubble floats as you can fill them with water to give you casting weight, a floating braided mainline for quick lifting when striking, 4ft of 8lb floating line, and a multitude of different baits ie, pop up boilies, zig bugs, flies, imitation and normal dog biscuits, anything that floats.

brighton_carper Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Check out the Gardner Suspender Controller. They look a bit funny but they work a treat. In my humble opinion, they give the best floater presentation possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
