Basics with the Knotless Knot
The Knotless Knot has become the most common knot used by far when creating many of the rigs used when carp fishing roday. This is down to the fact that it is easy to tie, extremely strong and provides excellent bait presentation in even it’s simplest form.

These entry level rods from Carp tackle giant Fox are an absolute bargain and well worth the small amount of money you have to part with to get them. As well as having great features and handling, coming in a black/ graphite colour they look the business as well. They can cast large PVA bags out to around 50 yards and small ones even further. Work well with method feeders and have been responsible for me bringing in Carp upto 20lb in.
Overall a very good value rod for the beginner and if you are looking for a low cost three rod replacement.
