[quote TylerKunz]Well sure, a Barbie pole will work. It's just not reccomended[/quote]
Seriously? You fish for a year or 2 with a flyrod, catch one carp and now you are qualified to talk Barbie pole smack? Nothing wrong with throwing out your opinion, but you really need to get a little more mileage under your belt before you spout off like that.
Jeremy obviously has the experience to have successfully fished for carp with his 5 wt and actually took the time to give his opinion that was asked for. I will second his opinion that a 5 wt is adequate to use for carp or pretty much anything that swims in most Utah waters (exceptions might be big wipers or stripers and tiger muskies). Just don't get your rod back so far that you bend it double and you will be fine.
