carp rod, fixed spool reel, large float, 15lb main line, 10lb hook lenght, size 10 freshwater hook. and a very thin, long strip of macky or gar.

adjust the depth until you find the fish, then adjust it again when the fish slow up until you get them again.

if your fishing deal pier it's completely different. a fresh water rod and reel, 10lb line straight through, freshwater shot(aaa), size 10 hook. you have to fish it with a bit of tide, let the bait drift under the pier (6-2ft below the surface). hold your rod and wait for your rod to bend.
