So long as the gear you`re using will do the job you ask of it, don`t worry that it`s not what the tackle tarts recommend. The advice so far about bait and location is spot on, a reasonable bait in the right spot will always outfish a great bait in the wrong spot...find your fish is the golden rule.
The best carp angler I ever fished with never had any matching items of tackle including bank sticks and buzzers. You would have thought the gypsies had moved in, but he`d catch carp whilst I was still making sure my rods were level. As in all things in life, it`s what you do rather than what you look like thats important.
