start with a reel with more line capacity, Reels that are rated for 20-30 pound test line will work just fine, Load a spool with 12-15 lb test line. Why? "Just for Fun" and yes you will get more bites. why the larger spool capacity? Carp are line freight trains when they run, you need enough good line for them to make their run. they will do several and the bigger the more runs they will make before they tire out.
ok, I have caught them on smaller reels with 15 pound test line, ;but why damage a good gill or bass reel needlessly.
they will hit corn, worms, dough ball and yes even flies on a fly rod if you are really adventurous.
