Wanted: Starter Kit

Subject: Wanted: Starter Kit Wed Jul 28 2010, 05:31

Wanted: Starter Kit for a mate. Got his first Carp in Corkagh last week and wants in Smile

for about €100-€150.

Needs:
2 rods with baitrunner reels. 2.5tc
2 Alarms.
Landing Net.
Carp Mat.
Banksticks.

Optionals:
Chair.
Shelter.
Bits and bobs of end tackle etc.

He's looking at this but I'd say the rods and reels would be poor quality? http://www.gumtree.ie/dublin/87/62588087.html

hi tim thats the argos set up,my six year old has the rods and reels and pod,...reels ok for starters,rods are made of playdo,pod made of matches,i wouldnt do it to him

I hear ya cheers. Bit of a floppy cast I'd say Smile

and as for the pod I'd rec banksticks anyway unless you can't avoid it! Saw a half decent starter kit on ebay for half the price minus tent and bags etc but always best to get your hands on the gear for look before one invests Smile

So if anyone out there can help get this guy on the right track Smile

???

if he's got the time, you can pick up some good stuff 2nd hand on ebay or even on this site. Might be worth a go.....

do not buy the kits , they are a total waste of money , rubbish gear that wont sell on if your mate decides carping aint for him

you can pic up fox warriors , chub snoopers and outcasts , and some diawas or shakespeare rods for very little money secondhand .......i saw an add for 3 okuma baitrunners for £45 ! there are some real bargains out there if your prepared to look around and be patient .
