What rods does Jim Shelley use?

What is the best test curve for carp rods?

3lb-
A 3lb-test-curve rod is now classed as an all-rounder, with 3.5lb and 3.75lb test curves more suited to casting long distances. A 2.75lb or 2.5lb rod will be softer and arguably more fun but won’t have huge casting power.

What is the best length for a carp rod?

12ft-13ft
most carp rods are 12ft-13ft in length. You should choose the length which feels most comfortable but bear in mind that you will need to be reasonably tall and strong as well as having a good technique to get the best out of a 13ft rod. In situations where there are overhanging trees, a longer rod can be a hindrance.

What are the lightest carp rods?

Daiwa’s new Basia AGS is the world’s lightest carp rod.

Are 10ft carp rods good?

A 10ft rod is not ideal for very far throws. Keep in mind that if you want to throw at big distance, it is better to use a 12ft or 13ft rod. Ofcourse there is more to it than just the length of the rod. You also need to look at the weight of the lead, line and the technique, but that’s my experience.

Are Century rods any good?

How far can you cast a 3lb test curve rod?

If you are only fishing short range, up to say 50 yards, you could get away with a very big lead on a 3lb test rod, if you cast carefully. If you want to reach any range, with maximum accuracy then a 3.25oz lead would be perfect.

Is 3lb test curve enough?

THE 3LB TEST CURVE ROD This is perfect for close to medium range fishing, for small water fishing, margin fishing and a decent choice for river fishing for carp and indeed barbel. Another very popular aspect of carp fishing is surface floater fishing and a 3lb test curve of rod would be ideal for that.

Is a medium heavy rod good for carp?

A more standard rod is a better choice for carp in North America, and I recommend medium to medium-heavy spinning rods of 6 ½ to 7 ½ feet in length. Moderate fast to fast actions are ideal. Most carp anglers elect for spinning reels, as most carp anglers are in Europe where this tackle choice is dominant.
