I tend to fish viaduct in Somerset a lot, as far as commercials go its very pretty, has some lovely fish and the owners are really friendly and helpful. I only manage to get out about once a month, so like to get a bend in the rod. I also have also started targeting the wye this year for a change when the conditions are right. For me, one of the biggest pleasure in fishing is watching the float bury, I have a Drennan series 7 carp waggler, which so far has handled carp up to 15lb. However, the viaduct has a fair few 20s swimming around. I'm fishing 7lb mono, size 14 or 12 hooks, its fairly snag free so I'm assuming I'll have a fairly good chance of getting one to the net if I hook one? I don't really want to fish the float with a barbel rod, and I definitely don't wanna step up to proper carp fishing. I know Korum do a float rod for targeting big carp, but it sounds like its really heavy compared to what I have now so I can't see how it will have a fast enough action for the strike? There are a lot of matches on the viaduct, those boys I'm assuming are using stepped up match gear and don't seem to have many problems, just looking for general reassurance really!
Thanks guys
