    I haven't done any business with Hook & Hackle since the company was bought and moved, but I recently put in an order with them and this was my experience. Take it for what it's worth.

    Blue,
    Close quarters fishing is one of the reasons I like the light rod so much. The short length is easy to handle. Much of my carping is done in tall grass, cattails, and flooded trees and...

    My usual carp fare is 0X - 3X. On rare occasion I will go lighter, usually because the fly won't fit on heavier tippet.
