new rod selection

[zippyFX]

UL can be good and reliable for fish up to 7 pounds I have found. Caught bass upto 3 lbs and carp upto 6 lbs with a little patience on UL gear for 5.5" to 7ft. The fish must be played though, and you can't just horse it out of the water, use a net.

I agree with MB you will ave difficulty pulling fish out of weeds. You really need to make sure you use line of the appropriate strength to make sure the line breaks before the rod :0 Knots and checking your line gets infintately for nicks because support important.

To get more out of my fishing experience I just picked up my first ML rod (9'6"). I have some specific spots I want to try it at. Looking forward to getting some carp.
