To start fishing from scratch, choose a fishery, check the rules that apply there and select basic equipment for one fishing method. Plan a few hours for your first trip, focusing on preparing your setup, casting and watching for bites. All it takes is a visit to a tackle shop or browsing a few guides to see how wide the choice of equipment and fishing techniques is. However, getting started in fishing does not require major purchases. Proper preparation and choosing a solution suited to your own abilities are far more important.

On 28 October 2026, Ash Hegarty landed a fully scaled carp weighing 52 kg at the Hungarian Euro Aqua fishery. According to a statement published by the fishery, this is the first carp of this weight ever caught on rod and line in the world. The result exceeds Michel Schoenmakers’ 2018 catch, also from Euro Aqua, by 800 g.

The carp rod is designed specifically for carp fishing, focusing on presenting rigs and controlling large fish during the fight. It differs from a feeder rod primarily in the way bites are signaled and its usage style, and from float or spinning rods by the tasks it is intended for. Understanding these differences helps you determine when a carp rod will truly be useful on your fishing sessions.

Fishing is the recreational or competitive pursuit of catching fish with a rod, using tackle and bait selected for the chosen fishing method. For many people, fishing does not begin with the desire to catch the biggest fish, but with the need to unwind. To leave the house, put everyday rush behind them and spend a few moments where time passes more slowly. By the water, it is easier to catch your breath, organise your thoughts and remember how good it feels to simply be close to nature. In this article, we will explain what fishing really is, why it brings so much peace, and how what may seem like ordinary fishing can become the beginning of a passion that stays with you for years.

Lack of bites often does not result from the wrong bait, but from the placement of the rig. If the rig does not land exactly where the carp are feeding, even a difference of 1–2 meters can determine silence on the bite alarms. In this post, we explain why precision, distance, and repeatability of rig placement are so important when carp fishing.
