What is your equipment for carp fishing ?

[BONITE]

What is your equipment for carp fishing? Your equipment?
Is there anything bigger in hardware than that?
I fish with a 35 kg Devils avocado rod
A pure champion 15 kg reel
a braid of 17.50 kg
This afternoon I pulled a big carp (weight?) which broke me after a 40 minute fight, I'm disgusted , yet I pulled out much bigger LEGENDARIES.
On the big equipment I think I would have taken it out.
Unfortunately I don't see any bigger equipment for carp fishing in the store.
When I see videos where the player pulls out a 31 kg caroe I ask myself questions, how was he able to pull it out.

At very high levels better equipment is available, but it's a long haul to get there.

Thank you for your answer,
Yes I know it's a long way to get good equipment, in the meantime I'm going to fish for small fish (tench, trout etc etc etc), I don't want to have the line taken down with each big carp.
I don't understand why the Devs have pushed the bar so high, already the price of the big reel 45,000 euros is way above reasonable, in addition you have to provide 30 golds, 4 diamonds and legendary ones which are not yet on the map . . . . . . enough to discourage many players.

I caught a 65.24 lb/29.59 kg diamond common carp on the gold mission setup 27.56 lb/12.5 kb line max in open water (no shoreline etc restricting where it could run).

Adjust your drag and the angle/lift of your rod so you are putting as much drag onto the fish at all times without getting into the bright red that will break your line if in it too long.

Constantly pumping the rod as the fish runs...useless. If your drag is low enough you can pump the rod without getting into the bright red then your drag is too low to start with.

Thank you for responding and giving good advice.

You must reach level 100.

I'm currently at level 69. I do daily and weekly quests and try to catch big fish. I played this game for a decent 100 to 150 hours. The rest of the time I tried to understand the game or I left the game open and watched TV series in the background and did not play the game.
