[QUOTE="Fly Carpin, post: 313867, member: 1187"] Diaper Bay. That name makes me laugh every time. Rod - $100-$1200. 6-8 weight. Sky's the limit. Casts are short if you're doing it right, no need to spend big money on a super lightweight fast action rod. I've switched to an 8 weight custom glass rod for carping. It's a blast. Reel - $75-$450. Large arbor, lots of backing capacity, good drag system. I have a few saltwater setups with spare spools that pull double duty as carp reels. Line - $35-$110. any general purpose line to match your rod weight. Again, if you sneak up close like you should, the line plays a very small role. Leaders/tippet - $15-$50. 9 foot, 0x to 3x mono leader with corresponding size of flouro tippet material. Go as high quality as your wallet allows. This is the crucial connection. For big fish like on Audubon and the canals, I switched to a bimini twist leader/tippet connection. I'm planning a trip back home this summer. We should make Dane trolling motor us around while we chase ol' rubberlips [/QUOTE]
