With very few anglers on the lake, the carp seemed willing enough to have a munch, and I didnt have to wait long for one to put a healthy-looking curve in the rod
All you need is a fly rod designated for a #4, 5, 6, or 7- weight line ( I use a 5 weight), a corresponding weight forward floating line, a fly reel which balances with this, a 9-foot leader, and a jiggy
A 3- or 4-inch swimbait, such as a YUM Pulse or Gene Larew Long John Minnow, fished on a jighead and swam near the bottom or even hopped down a slope, works wonderfully for for redfish or trout that are holding tight to the bottom
Also worthy of recommendation is the Mojo Bass Power Spin, which features the same length and action
A great example of a 'talk the talk' reel
