A little help required in landing the unique common carp required for the thanksgiving event  chinesse-style carp dish. Given that a unique common carp on Joaquin delta is going to weigh at least 20lbs, how can this fish be caught on a telescopic rod that at best can accommodate line of upto 13lb mated with a suitable reel allowing for 12-13lb max drag. Is it the case that damage to both rod and reel is a necessity by opting for heavier line than both can handle?

I’ve tried fishing from an unanchored boat but that didn’t work. I even opted to equip heavier line than the rods max and equipped a heavier reel. And could only just manage to land a 24.2lb trophy common at the expense of 85% of the durability to my Golden Troy rod.

I really don’t see how it is possible complete this mission and land a unique common on the restrictive gear

Any insight greatly appreciated.

Managed to finish this mission by using a match rod as opposed to the telescopic rod that the mission description stipulates. Wish I had known that this was possible earlier. Would have saved me a load of bait and expense incurred from damage to gear.

nice, will try it in the evening...
tried it with the same setup as you (unanchord, op reel, op line) and nearly broke my troy 600 just to get a trophy on board :-(
Do telescopic rods above troy exist as dlc?
