Carp Fishing – Summer Haze Day Two 2

I want a telescopic rod that can handle up to 10 pound of fish . . like carp and pike any idea on a product ?? . Also preferably easy to travel with

Any would be welcomed

thank you

Hey. I’ve been fishing for all my life only float fishing for smaller fish. I’m tiring of that method now and I’m interested in different types of fishing.

At the pond where I fish I’ve noticed people just using a sinker, hook and something which detects fish bites. Before I try it I want to know a few things (which is obviously why I’ve come here =p)

1) What is the rubber instrument I’ve seen fisherman using to detect fish bites? They’ve been sitting with their rod sideways from where they’ve cast. When they get a bite a rubber thing on their rod moves. Any idea what this is and how to use it?

2) Are there any devices I’m missing? I’ve only been watching other people, I’ve probably not seen something that’s quite important

3) I’m going to be fishing for carp. Will this work?

4) Any specific bait for this? I was thinking boilies.

5) A good hook size for fish around 3-6lbs

6) Is there a "right" line length to leave between the hook and the sinker?

7) I have a few sinkers. Does the shape/size matter, or is the only variable how far I can cast (they’re the same colour metal)?

Do I need a certain colour for certain fish, or will it not matter as the sinker is not near the hook?

If you can answer most/all of these best answer is coming your way. Web links are okay, as long as they’re very informative.

Thanks in advance =)

I have been given some fishing gear i have a carp rod and want too know if you can use this for coarse fishing as i live near a canal? I have floats and size 18 hooks and spilt shot?
