But I was fishing on private property and really wanted to respect the people who let me fish there
Both are fantastic baits for December, but I caught a 4.5-pounder on a vibrating jig the last week of November, so its fresh on my mind at the moment
The cosmetics of fishing rods is very much down to personal taste, but for carp anglers in general they tend to like a fairly understated look, with than garish colours and lots of shiny bits although of course if you go down the custom built route you can have pretty much whatever you like on a rod
A sudden run and the fish will either snap your line or bend the hook if the drag is too tight, or wind up with a bunch of slack or dive quickly into brush if the drag is too lose
Like most perches, it has two separate dorsal fins
For beginners, the Daiwa BG Saltwater Combo is an excellent choice due to its balance of affordability and performance
