Back a month or so ago i was fishing a small to medium size pond in the middle of a housing estate which is free and hardly anyone fishes there, it's crammed with roach and you can have some really good fun getting a bite a cast, problem is the last couple of times i fished it I've hooked into some half decent carp and large goldfish. I've been using 3lb mainline with a 1.5lb pro micron hooklink, I managed to land the goldfish of about 3lb after a tench like fight but the carp have either snapped my hook link or had me playing them for a ridiculous amount of time 1 carp i played for over 1.5 hours and still lost it when it thrashed over my landing net and slide back into the water. The roach are very finicky biters and using 3lb mainline straight through or thicker means you dont catch many roach but i would like to stop getting snapped up any ideas on what i should do. the one day i fished for about for hours catching roach then got snapped up by three carp on three consecutive casts
