ccmtcanada Posted September 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Why not use your Carp gear? I've seen one person using carp rod. I dont have real Carp gear. I was using a 9 foot surf rod with a rather large spinning reel for carp. It's a bit cumbersome using that rod for casting lures...I'd last maybe 10 casts before my arms got to tired...LOL. It's good for me for carp...you cast and just let it sit there...maybe 10 casts in the entire outing...haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecxstriper Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 (edited) I use a shock leader because I throw 5>6 oz of lead plus a few more ozs of bait with a 12' surf rod. I can get 100 yrds every time and some times get up to 150 yrds. Cliff was using a shock leader to add some stretch to his line as he was using power pro which has no stretch to speak of .The shock leader allows for some forgiveness of braided line's lack of stretch without tacking up space on the spool. There are several knots used to join mono to braid I use 2 the double uni knot and the alberto knot (variation of the albright knot). alberto knot http://www.stripersonline.com/Pages/Articl...rtos_knot.shtml double uni knot http://www.marinews.com/Double-Uni-Knot-26...3958a6b4522e462 Last Monday while casting a 5 oz lead my power pro snapped and sent the lead rocketing out to sea. I am verythankful that it happened over the water and not in mid cast as the lead would have shot down the beach where there were other fisherman!!!
