Whilst this may sound like a boring blog title, I can assure you that the right hat for the right situation WILL make your life more comfortable when on the bank! Give me the benefit of the doubt and keep reading; you will be pleasantly surprised! Come on, let's take a look at the best hats for carp fishing.

SURELY IT IS JUST A HAT?

NO! Fishing hats do serve a purpose, and I am going to explain some of their uses below;

Baseball Caps - Fantastic for keeping the sun out of your eyes when floater fishing or stalking, also stops your head from getting burnt!
Bucket Hats - Also great for all-around sun protection, great for stalking and spotting fish.
Beanies - Good for keeping your head warm, but they can also be worn when sleeping.
Bobbe Hats - They look good, and they keep your head lovely and warm, but they can't be worn in bed.
Marine Style Hats - These will keep your head warm and dry! Great for getting to and from your swim in a downpour or while setting up/packing away.
