After reading a thread on dedicated pike rods in comparison to carp rods someone mentioned about todays rod technology. Do you think that in all honesty the newer and more advanced the rod the more fish we catch?
I do admit that rods will make some diference when having to chuck a bait a long way but would a basic stiff action rod suffice for carping / piking in smaller waters where it is not necessary for extreme distance? Have better rods made it easier for the novice angler to land big fish and, as a result, have fish playing techniques declined since split cane and glass fibre rods were the norm?
Lots of questions and lets see everyones consensus of opinion!
