About

Carp Army

Read full description

Carp Army is the carp fishing marketplace — buy and sell used gear between anglers, bid in live auctions, and shop from real tackle shops, fisheries and bait brands. All in one app, all carp. Built for carp anglers, by carp anglers. No noise, no other species, no clutter. BUY AND SELL USED GEAR Rods, reels, alarms, bivvies, bedchairs, bait — listed by anglers, not shops. Make an offer or buy it now. Collect it for cash and pay nothing, or have it posted with your money held by Carp Army until you tap "received". Something wrong? Say so and it stays held. Listing is free and there is no commission on used gear. You keep what you sell it for. Already selling on eBay? Bring those listings onto the board in a couple of taps, photos and price and all. Or list here and send it to your own eBay account without typing it out twice — and if it sells here first, we end the eBay listing for you, so the same rod never sells twice. Not sure what it's worth? The price guide is built from what carp gear actually sells for, not what people ask for it. One of each item, your own gear only. The board is for members, and it stays that way. LIVE SELLING AND AUCTIONS Sell your gear on camera. Pin an item and talk it through while people buy it, or put it under the hammer — reserves, max bids, a clock that extends when it gets close. Winners pay through the app at the hammer price. Verified sellers only. KNOW WHO YOU'RE BUYING FROM Feedback scores can be faked. Years of dated catch photos at real venues can't. Every seller's profile shows their captures, how long they've been here, their completed sales and their feedback, so a stranger isn't a stranger. Gear Passport goes further: an item carries its own history through every owner. Check a serial number before you hand over cash and you'll know if it's been reported stolen — without anyone's name attached to it. TACKLE SHOPS, FISHERIES AND BAIT BRANDS Real shops sell here too, with their own storefront and live selling from the shop floor, so you can see gear in the hand before you buy it. Fisheries list their waters and swims, and where they take bookings you can reserve a peg from the app. Reviews come only from anglers who have actually fished the place — a capture or a booking, or it doesn't count. Syndicates run their swim board here too: book a night, join the waiting list, see the rota. Bait brands show what's catching, and where. ALSO IN THE APP Log every capture properly — weight, rig, bait, swim, water temperature, air pressure, wind and moon phase — and pin it to the exact spot with what3words, or keep it private. Over a season that becomes a record worth going back to. Build a rig from a diagram and send the parts straight to your basket. Browse the map, watch anglers live from the bank, follow the ones whose fishing you rate, and earn badges for the milestones that matter. CARP ARMY PRO Optional membership for anglers who want more from their own data: • Post analytics — views, profile visits and saves on every post • Viewer insights — see who has viewed your captures • Export your full capture history as a CSV, any time • The affiliate programme — earn commission promoting products in your posts • A Pro badge next to your name • The Pro members feed • Early access to new features The app is free and stays free. Pro is an optional extra, not a gate. Carp Army Pro is an auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase and renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple ID settings. Physical goods sold in the app are paid for by card and shipped to you, secured by Stripe.
