This really answered a lot of my questions. I have a 7 weight streamer X rod, and a lamson liquid reel. That along with a floating line, however I have a pretty aggressive WF7F line. Its really friendly to a new caster such as myself to get out om the water.
That is a good setup for Carp. The aggressive WF could be an issue, but it can be managed. Just try not to shoot the line. For shorter shots. Say anything inside 30’, that line will work great. Good luck.
Great information
Thanks
Greatly enjoy your lessons and have learned a lot, THANK YOU!
A question if I may. When you build your leaders, what knot do you use?
Do you go loop to loop between the fly line and leader, or do you use a nail knot?
Thank you for your time, I greatly appreciate it.
BEST carp information and videos on the net!
Thanks David, I typically go loop to loop on the connect. I use a perfection loop for the leader. I connect each section using a blood knot. You could use a double surgeon too though, I just think the blood knot ends up cleaner with the larger diameter line. Great questions. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great video, brother!!
Thanks
I have the Sage Maverick in 6wt for my carp rod. I love it. I wondered based on your comments about broken 6wts if you have heard of the Maverick 6wt specifically having that problem. I know it was designed to have greater strength and lifting power in the butt but maybe the 6 isn't strong enough? I haven't had any problems so far, but haven't tested it on any super big fish yet.
I have actually broken my 7 Maverick once on a fish. I usually put a lot of pressure on the fish, but realistically it was my fault. Trying to lift a fish from straight above is a bad idea. The issue really is wether you are willing to keep playing the fish out of not. I have one buddy who busted his Sage X, another buddy busted his Loomis, and I busted my ignitor (2 times) all 6 weights. Most of the time a 6 is awesome, it’s harder to control the fly in wind with a 6, and occasionally on a big fish it is underpowered. I caught 4 last week that my 7 was underpowered, it would have been really bad on a 6, and I may very well have broken my ignitor again if I was using it. But if I know I’m probably going to getting into fish approaching 20 pounds, I leave the 6 in the truck.
I use a 5wt, ok for small carp to about 10lb
You can do it. I was more referring to optimal setup. I have even caught them on my 3 wt. You can certainly do it, but I wouldn’t recommend it for most anglers. I used a 5 Wt for years for carp. Just curious, how long is your typical fight in your 5 Wt?
What specific fly rod would you recommend? I am an advanced fly fisher. I own some pretty expensive rods, but I would like a budget 7wt. How about a mid level rod too?
How about the REDINGTON PATH II. It comes in both a 9' and 10' version. What is the best length and action?
I have not personally used the path II, but a medium fast is a great option. My favorite carp rod is the Sage Maverick, but it can be done a lot of ways. We don’t really want fast action rods. So Medium, or Medium fast is a what I would recommend, and luckily those actions are easier to find on the mid to low end rods. If you bonefish, or ever plan on bonefishing, I would say get a saltwater rod. A good bonefish rod is also a good carp rod. The presentation, and the backbone required are very similar. I wouldn’t hesitate to look at an Echo or TFO as well. They are great rods for the price. Just stay away from fast.
@@carponthefly8282 Thanks for the info. Any thought on length? 9' or 10'?
Either is really fine. I fish a 9’, but that is because I have been fishing a 9’ for 25 years. The only drawback I see is on short shots, the 10 can potentially make those a little more difficult, but if you are comfortable with a 10’ then I wouldn’t worry about it.
