I am fishing a water next week where some of the top carp spots are at 140-150 yard range, off an island.
This is much further than I have cast before.
My carp rods are 2 x 2.5lb Fox Rangemaster 2 and 1 x 3lb version of the same rod. I have 3 Shimano baitrunners loaded with 12lb Kristonite.
Is it true I will achieve much better distance with standard rather than in-line leads? I am planning to use 3 to 3.5oz .
I know a PVA bag is a non-starter but would a stringer be OK?
Do I need a shockleader to try to get to this range?
Have I even got a hope of getting anywhere near?
Thanks to anyone who can help...
