Carp Fishing Reels

When it comes to Carp fishing tackle, an important aspect to consider is choosing your reel. Most reels are capable of catching trophy fish, but many are poorly made and lack qualities that are needed to land big trophies. There are many things to consider when choosing your gear and tackle.

First, a good carp reel should have a smooth drag that never sticks. This is key because the initial run from a big one. Reels should also have the ability to hold a couple hundred yards of line. Higher quality equipment tends to tangle less and leave less memory in the line. This is very important in helping avoid tangles in your rig.

While Carp fishing reels are only a small part of your gear, they are still a very important piece of equipment. It is hard to say which is the most important piece of tackle, such the sum of the parts is greater then each individual piece of gear. Overlook any one aspect, and the whole rig will suffer.

While I have not fished much for carp compared to other species, I am learning more by reading and experimenting every day I get on the water. I hope to be able take a fishing trip to Europe someday for these monsters. I have heard that France, Germany, England, and many other countries have great opportunities too. I think it is very important to try new waters and experiment with new equipment and tackle and rigs. This can help any fisherman get a new perspective on their techniques.
