Carp Fishing: Beginners setup checklist

Join us on the bank as we chat through all the equipment required to get you specimen carp and night fishing.

We split the video up into 3 sections:

Must-Have

Fishing license bought via gov website
Fishing Rods (min 2.75 test curve usually but always check rules on the waters you’re fishing)
Fishing reels (Bait runners are a great start)
Strong line (15lb min)
Banksticks, buzz bars or pod
Bobbins (Gives tension in line between the reel and bite alarm, important to help with bite signals)
Bite Alarms (You can spend loads but it's not needed to start we both started with 40/50 quid set of Saber alarms)
Butt rests (We use magnetic ones but you can get all sorts and they can be picked up dead cheap)
Large landing net (36” minimum for most specimen venues)
Carp cradle/mat
Carp care (Very important to treat any wounds and the lip where the hook has come out)
Retain/weigh sling
Scales
Tacklebox (small one would do to start)
End tackle
hooks, hooklinks or ready-tied rigs
Leads or feeders
Disgorger
Rig tubing (depending on venue)
PVA mesh or solid bags
Bait (Boilies, Pellets, Pop ups - It can get very confusing)
Baiting needle
Bait bucket
Chair (a nice comfy chair to allow you to kick back and chill)
Large bag to chuck everything in

Must have for night fishing
