Carp rod for sea fishing

Has anyone ever used a carp rod for light beach fishing?

Heard of people using fresh water gear without any problems apart from rust

Not sure if a wash with warm soapy water helps after use or if the damage has already been done

Should be fine for estuary fishing or close in on a calmer day off the beach.

Lived far from the sea as a lad, on annual seaside holiday we used our coarse rods to floatfish off breakwaters and piers as a matter of course - we didn't have any sea gear.

The saltwater thing also applies to the reel if its in use too.

No probs using carp rods,just the salt.
If you think about it,we use carp rods to pull in 30lb to 40lb carp (if we are lucky)

Your right, I’ve never caught a sea fish over 10lb from the shore!!!

You should have asked Noah to take you out on the boat
Or wasn't it finished
