I am hoping to start fishing again after a break of some 16 years and I need some advice.The lake i intend fishing contains carp to 30 pounds as well as tench roach perch etc and i would like to fish for both carp and the smaller fish using floats.Is it possible to get a rod that would be suitable for both types of fishing or do i need to buy rods for carp and match fish?
How do i know what a good rod (and reel)is?? Is it a case of spending lots of money on expensive rods daiwa browning etc or will cheaper ones ive seen in the angling times be just as good?
Also at the risk of sounding a complete plank..........if im going to use a lighter line for the hook, how do i attach it to the main line? Do i use a swivel or tie the line together using a knot?
Im sorry if the questions seem stupid but i dont know anyone to ask except the anglers at the lake and im worried ill sound a complete twat!!
Cheers for any help.
