The rods been used for 10 years, the line for maybe 4-5 years. I looked for a line that will cast well extreme short ranges to long range plus be able to hold up to the questionable water Carp live in lol. My experience is pay the extra $$, it will save you in the long run. I'm a bit of a nut for Carp, I wear natural earth tone colors and when they get spooky I fall back on multicam head to toe.

The extra 6" is just so awesome on my 9.5'. The extra control on the drag is critical.testflycarpinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01438987908906957352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-880478764413043795.post-42264441774166442292014-09-09T20:48:29.212-04:002014-09-09T20:48:29.212-04:00Thanks Gregg, most weight forward fly lines for tr...Thanks Gregg, most weight forward fly lines for trout work well for carp, however some are better than others. <br /><br />RM- fun fish indeed, I hope you get some more next year!Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02645131370691374221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-880478764413043795.post-57835705374471661252014-09-08T20:37:21.489-04:002014-09-08T20:37:21.489-04:00Certainly a good summer, I am just starting target...Certainly a good summer, I am just starting targeting carp and the three I got this year made me plenty happy.

Love the rod and agree with the extra length. My favorite lines tend to be nymph or those such as the Rio Grand or SA GPX, have worked them at all tepms as well.
