Hi

I am from France but have lived in the states for 13 years. I am
getting back into fishing but am in need of buying gear.
I want to focus on float fishing with a float rod in a local lake which
holds catfish, carps, sunfish, crappies and other local american
fish.(Not after the big carps and catfish at this time just the small
ones).
I have the 3 piece rod, floats, soft round leds(Don't know how you call
these in the UK.).
I am going to need hooks and lines, chum and a couple of others small
items.
Is there a mail order in the states that carries that stuff? Or do I
have to buy directly from the UK or France?
This type of fishing is not known here very well in the states and
carps are unwanted and called trash fish and local tackle stores
recommend a bow and arrow for carps!!!

Thanks in advance

Patrick
