Hi, I'm Daniel. My team and I are here to help you have a blast catching amazing carp.
Carp (and buffalo) fishing is one of the best tandems to catfishing. Carp live in nearly all the same waters as catfish—and in plenty of places where catfish aren’t. On days when the catfish just won’t bite, chasing carp is a surefire way to “get the skunk off” and still have an awesome day on the water. Especially when boat traffic is heavy, you can slip into a quiet back cove and have nonstop action with hard-fighting carp.
Catching carp consistently comes down to what we call The Three Rights Framework:
-
The Right Spot
-
The Right Rig
-
The Right Bait
Each of these takes some practice, but as you dial them in, you’ll be rewarded with more fish, bigger fish, and days on the water that are just plain fun.
Based in Chattanooga, TN, we’re right on the Tennessee River—home to trophy carp and catfish alike. We’re constantly testing rigs, baits, and tactics so we can share with you what really works.
Everything in our store has been tested, improved, and selected with one goal in mind: helping you have more success on the water.
We’re also committed to our Core Values:
Quality – We only sell gear that’s built well, does its job, and makes carp fishing easier and more rewarding.
Honesty – No gimmicks, no hidden surprises. You’ll always get what you ordered, when you expect it, and be glad you did.
Guide – Carp Sumo is about more than tackle—we’re here to lead the way with simple products, clear guidance, and helpful information so you can put more carp on the bank.
If there’s ever a way we can help you, just reach out—we’d love to hear from you.
Best regards,
Daniel
Owner, Carp Sumo™
