How to improve the carp killer tackle. Carp rig carp killer, carp rigs

Thanks to the 3 hooks with inserted foam, the fish self-picking occurs, which is not the most sporting aspect of the rig.

In this article, you will learn how to properly assemble the tackle with your own hands, prepare groundbait and catch crucian carp from early spring to late autumn.

Tackle structure

Tackle "crucian carp" can be bought in stores. It is subdivided into:

Deaf option... Three feeder springs-feeders, connected by a fishing line up to 0.5 mm. Leashes with hooks are attached to springs. You can also attach additional weight there. The length of the leash should not exceed 7 centimeters.
Sliding option... The feeder is fixed with a bead, and a small leash with two hooks is knitted next to it. Typically, a few more leashes can be placed above the trough next to the locking beads. Such a tackle is considered more sensitive than the first, since the bite signal is immediately transmitted to the rod. We will also analyze the manufacture of a sliding version in this article.

Deaf variants of "crucian carp killer"

Advantages and disadvantages

As merits highlight the following:

The tackle consists of 4 hooks, which are located near the bait, thereby allowing you to try different types of baits and increasing the chances of catching crucian carp.
Different types of feeders can immediately feed the biting point and attract crucian carp.
The tackle allows you to fish both in deep waters and in bad weather, thanks to the heavy load.
With this bait, you can fish larger (for example, carp and carp).
The structure of the tackle is not difficult, and it is done by hand. And, taking into account your preferences, you can even invent tackle for different fishing methods.
Allows you to make fewer rod casts.

Among the disadvantages this tackle is noted:

Weak bite sensitivity, so fishing may seem boring;
Difficulty casting due to several feeders that make the tackle heavier;
There are problems with the replacement of leads.

All of the above disadvantages cause unsporting bite, and it is important for a good fisherman to see the fish "sitting" on the hook so that it can be caught without problems.

Do-it-yourself "carp killer"

For successful fishing, you can change the design of the tackle or make it yourself. Since the variety of the crucian carp killer is not very different from the original, changing its process is not long. The classic tackle "crucian carp", it is also "from Mikhalych" is done very simply. We will do just that.

The line is chosen with a thickness of up to 0.4 mm, the sinker should be lead weighing 100 grams as well as small hooks and a few feeders. If you have sinkers, leashes and feeders, follow these instructions:

You need to tie the weight to the tip of the line.
Put a bead over the weight.
Thread the fishing line through the feeder.
The second bead must be placed so that there is a few centimeters in the feeder.
Put on the lower stopper on the other feeder.
Do similar options for all feeders that are in the fishing tackle.
Tie the leashes into loops and tighten just above each feeder.
Instead of a leash, you can use an elastic band.

Do not use beads that are too bright, unnatural colors, they will only scare off crucian carp. Do not make leashes that are too long to attach the hooks to. The maximum length is 6-8 centimeters, no more. Do not use double or triple hooks.

Choice of hooks

Hooks are used to capture fish and attach bait to them. The most optimal option when using the "Carp Killer" - hooks of the size № 4-6 ... On a large hook, it will be difficult to attach, for example, bloodworms. Hooks with an extended forend are also used.

The hook consists of:

Forend;
Underwear;
Ear;
Sting with a beard.

To choose the right hook, you need to know which fish to hunt. But since we are talking about a crucian carp, such foreign companies as:

Partridge of Redditch (English firm)

Owner (Japanese firm)

Mustad (Norwegian company);

How to choose a sinker

Depending on the place of the catch and the casting distance, you can choose the required lead. For shallow waters, choose a sinker weighing 10 grams. If an angler goes fishing on a boat and is going to make long casts, then in this case a massive sinker weighing from 80 to 100 grams will do.

Feeders

One of the main roles a feeder plays for crucian carp in fishing. A self-respecting fisherman always has several feeders of different shapes, because you can never say for sure what the fishing conditions will be.

The shape of the feeder is chosen depending on the depth of the reservoir. If the water is standing, then the shape of the trough is not so important, and where there is flow, a rectangular or triangular trough will do.
The amount of bait should correspond to the size of the feeder. If the angler does not want the fish to be immediately saturated with food from the feeder during fishing, then smaller structures should be used. After all, when the crucian carp has eaten all the food, it will not want to play with the bait, and the crucian will swim away in search of new food.
Weight depends on cast and river flow. 50 grams of feed soaks in water and increases its weight.

What bait can I put in the feeder?

breadcrumbs;
boiled peas;
pearl barley or semolina;
crumb of bread;
dung worms or maggots;
it is best to add strong smells of garlic, anise or mint to the food.

Line selection

An important choice in equipping the tackle is the fishing line. The conditions of the fishing site are equally important. Experienced anglers prefer such types of fishing line as:

The second option of the fishing line does not allow the caught carp to get out and suppresses all its resistance. With the help of such a fishing line, it will not be difficult to catch a large individual.

Leash

The leash connects the hook and line. No fishing for crucian carp is complete without a leash. By the way, you can make up to 5 of them.

Universal leashes usually perform the following functions:

Make the tackle invisible to fish;
Retains the float and sinkers with "empty" holds of a large fish;
They help the bait to behave more easily in the pond.

The very design of the leash depends a lot on the fishing. If the leash is long or short, the fish may not bite. Line thickness also affects the construction of the line.

The monofilament line is suitable for a float rod. In this case, the hook with the bait will remind the fish of its food. When a large fish bites, the line will soften the jerk. But there is also a drawback to this line: it quickly breaks down. But the braided line is better suited for a leash for a bottom fishing rod. The fishing will seem reliable and the line will be solid. The disadvantage is that the fish can easily see the braid, and can simply swim by without being tempted by the bait

Therefore, from what line to make leashes will depend on the angler. Long or short leashes are suitable for some.

Leash length can be selected according to the following indicators:

up to 30 centimeters for a float rod;
from 40 to 80 centimeters for a classic donkey;
up to 6 cm on the top.

Using a short leash, crucian carp will easily feel the resistance of the tackle and swim away, but with a long leash, the bite may not be noticed at all.

Improvement options

To make the rig more sensitive and catch as many fish as possible, for this you need to follow the step-by-step instructions:

Take a nylon thread about 50 centimeters long.
Tie the swivel to the thread.
Tie a bead at a distance of 8-10 centimeters.
Thread the smaller swivel and put on a new bead.
Repeat the bead and swivel several times.
Attach a more powerful swivel to the other end.
Tie leashes of different lengths through a loop into a swivel.
Tie hooks between the beads.

After cooking, you can hide the tackle in a container and go fishing.

Other variations of the "carp killer"

As other tackle for catching crucian carp, you can use:

"Teat" based on a spring feeder.
A cork from an ordinary plastic bottle or canister.

These tackles are equipped with hooks and filled with rich porridge made from pearl barley, semolina or oatmeal. The hooks themselves must be hidden in the porridge.

You can carry out the installation of other types of "crucian carp" killers yourself, using your imagination and desire to tinker. It is only important to be patient. For those who do not show a special desire to build the tackle on their own, you can always go to the "Hunting and Fishing" store and there to pick up what you need.

"Nipple" for crucian carp and carp

One of the most sensational ways of catching crucian carp with tackle lately has become a spring "nipple". The Pacifier is a modernized version of the Crucian Carp Killer.

In order to make a "pacifier" for a crucian carp, you will need the following material:

Hooks;
Wire;
Nylon fabric cord;
Carbine.

To make it, you need to do the following:

Put a stopper on the tip of the fishing line;
Mount the spring feeder;
Put another stopper, while there should be a free space of 5 centimeters;
Attach swivel and carabiner;
Then attach one leash to the carabiner and two to the top of the feeder.

In order to catch crucian carp with a "pacifier" you will need:

A rod with a length of 2-2.5 meters with a test up to 50 centimeters;
Coil without inertia;
Long cord;
Braided line leads 20 centimeters;
Hooks series No. 4-6;
Spring "nipple";
Bell.

Before throwing the "pacifier" into the pond, all the hooks will need to be hidden in the porridge. The principle of action of the "nipple" is similar to the classic "carp killer".

Cork

Another tackle that fishermen use when fishing for crucian carp is called "Cork"... To build such a tackle, you need to do the following:

Take a cork from a plastic bottle or canister;
Make several holes in the cork, where small leashes are inserted;
Tie hooks to the leashes;
Tie a fishing line to the cork.

The cork will serve as bait for the crucian carp, and when it begins to absorb food, you can hook it.

Groundbait and nozzles

For fishing to be successful, experienced anglers are advised to make a viscous bait. You can add scalded rolled oats or semolina to it so that all the food does not creep over the surface of the water, but flakes off in pieces.

When using tackle "crucian carp", you can experiment with baits and baits. To do this, collect:

worms;
dough;
cereals;
maggots;
corn;
semolina;
bread.

Any thick porridge or hominy is most suitable.

Pieces of styrofoam are suitable as a nozzle. Crucian carp will not be able to swallow such a nozzle, but it will easily fall on the hook itself. Boilies are also used on hooks.

Shop

Many fishermen opt for a purchased one. It has some advantages as opposed to homemade:

The composition of the feed is more balanced and suitable for crucian carp;
Store bait is moistened;
The mixture bought in the store will save any person's precious time.
Not everyone can be pleased with the price

Premium Dunaev

The most well-known fish baits are entered on the market by companies such as:

GreenFishing

Traper Lin-Karas

Homemade

To attract fish, you should make sure that the bait is of high quality, smells and the fish likes it. And to prepare such a bait, the following components should be observed:

Semolina;
Millet;
Peas;
Oatmeal or rolled oats.

Using the ingredients at hand, you can build a good one, while saving money.

Recipe number 1. You will need 1 kilogram of crushed wheat or barley, 200 grams of semolina and corn flour, as well as salted cake. Stir everything by adding water, then refrigerate for 5-6 hours. Balls can be sculpted from the finished solid mixture.
Recipe number 2. A pound of bread crumbs and fried seeds, 5 tablespoons of sugar and 30 vanilla crystals. The cooking process is the same.

To increase the bite, the following flavors should be added to the bait, without which the crucian carp will bypass any food:

Orange juice;
Anise;
Cocoa;
Grated dill seeds.

But it is also worth remembering that even though the crucian is an omnivorous fish, he himself chooses which cereals to eat and which mixtures to choose. The weather plays an important role, so any fisherman in life cannot guess how the crucian carp will behave on a particular day.

Fishing technique

After the tackle and groundbait are ready, you can start fishing. But first of all, you should learn about the technique of fishing.

Check the bottom of the reservoir. To do this, you need to throw a weight without hooks and find out if there are any possible holes or irregularities.
Hang the tackle on the rod and fill the springs with bait.
Throw some top dressing into the water.
Throw the tackle "crucian carp" into the pond. When casting, you should take the rod back a little, then you need to move the rod a little so that the tackle smoothly lowers to the surface of the reservoir.
Place the rod on the supports and allow the lead to touch the bottom. Then customize.
The cast should be repeated every 20 minutes.

Thanks to this fishing technique, not a single fisherman has ever complained about the lack of bite. Therefore, you should safely use it, so as not to disgrace yourself in front of colleagues, who, perhaps, also went fishing.

How to cast?

Before you start fishing, you need to choose a fishing point. Then fill the feeder with the bait that the carp likes so much, and throw it into the water using a slingshot. It should be borne in mind that the tackle "crucian carp" will be heavy, so it should be cast smoothly.

When the tackle touches the bottom, you need:

Tighten the line;
Fix the rod;
Build bite alarms.

If the fish does not bite for some time, it should be cast again. Presumably, you need to cast the tackle every 20 minutes. It is best to change the baits periodically to attract more fish.

Features of use

In each fishing season, fishing professionals advise using their own feed. Fish have their own feeding habits at any time of the year. And the bait, which is made by yourself, can work regardless of bad or good weather.

In the spring soil should be added to the groundbait. It must be obtained in the reservoir where the fishing site is planned. The dried and sifted earth should be mixed with bloodworms and wrapped in cheesecloth, dividing the fish food into balls. You can also mix millet with chopped worms.

As summer groundbait, and depending on the appetite of the crucian carp during this period, it will consist in the use of the plant composition of the feed with the addition of flavors. The simplest ingredients are:

Roasted sunflower seeds;
Breadcrumbs;
Powdered milk;
Oat flakes;
Semolina;
Sugar;
Cocoa;
Vanilla.

An ordinary mastic is prepared from them, which looks like dough.

In autumn crucian carp will need protein products in their food, namely:

Bloodworm;
Food for aquarium fish;
Dried Daphnia.

You can make as many baits as you like, and it is always advisable to add pungent odors to them in order to attract crucian carp.

Fishing at different times of the year

Given the activity of crucian carp, they can be caught in the morning and evening hours of the day. Everything will depend on their desire to refresh themselves. Weather is also an important factor when fishing for crucian carp.

After the ice has melted, crucian carp will become active for only a couple of weeks. In summer, a good bite is observed either at dawn or at dusk. If the weather is clear and warm, bites can be expected in the daytime. Those who are accustomed to participating in night fishing by boat and with a bottom fishing rod will be able to catch large crucians.

Spring

Fishing for crucian carp in spring is divided before and after spawning. It is absolutely impossible to use groundbait during this period. After spawning, you will need large amounts of groundbait to keep the fish in place. Fishermen throw balls in the form of mixed food from bloodworms, worms and maggots into the water to attract more crucians. If the bait is flavored with pungent odors, you can wait for the crucian carp on the prepared hook.

In March and April, the water temperature is still low, and crucian carp will be inactive during these months of the year. But in mid-May, after spawning, when the water warms up to 15 degrees Celsius, the fish becomes more active and the nibble will go on as usual.

Summer

June to August

June to August crucian carp prefers plant food, so thick cereals with flavors are perfect as bait for crucian carp. In order not to overfeed the fish, you should first use half of the entire prepared feed, and then throw balls for crucian carp into the pond every 20 minutes.

In the summer months, crucian carp is overly active due to digestion in warm water.
The carp is suitable for the diet:

bread crumb;
millet, oatmeal, oatmeal, semolina and other types of cereals;
dough with the addition of pungent odors that attract crucian carp.

Autumn

When the water temperature drops, crucian carp switches to animal food. Even in September, the water remains warm enough, so the fish will be active at any time of the day. And with the onset of October and November, complementary foods should be done in small quantities due to the low activity of the fish.

To improve the tackle "crucian carp", you can add sensitivity to bites;
The size of the hooks must correspond to the size of the fish caught;
The place of the intended fishing should be fed in advance, so that in the future the bite will go off with a bang;
For a better bite, the tackle should be equipped with a large number of feeders;
During spawning, this tackle will be ineffective.

In fact, you can assemble a carp kit with your own hands, which will work to look for no worse than purchased tackle. Carp is a bottom fish and to know some features of behavior, biting places, it is also necessary to show some perseverance and patience.

Tool Mounting: A Step-by-Step Process

Many different rigs can be made by hand: helicopter, clip, inline, sliding, crucian carp killer, Gardner's paternoster, which do not require special devices and are made right at the fishing site.

Great for carp fishing and signals a bite with an inline rig. To make such equipment, you need to select:

fishing line 1 meter long;
a feeder in the form of a cage with a clasp in the form of a weight;

It is a simple and effective design. For installation:

wind the fishing line on a reel;
bend the line in half;
make a knot at a distance of 0.5 m from the edge;
attach the sinker to the feeder;
attach a piece of fishing line for a leash in a length of 20-25m;

The feeder can be attached in several ways. This is a great rig for muddy bottoms with a bite transfer to the rod tip. The leash will not go under the water with the feeder, which will ensure excellent operation of the tackle when fishing.

Without putting the bait on the hook. The rig includes hair, a strong hook, soft large diameter fishing line. When making a rig, the bait is fixed at a distance of 20 cm from the end of the line. Several turns with the hair are made with the possibility of lengthening at any time.

Helicopter

Does not have a rigid connection between the lead and the leader. Good for long distance casts. Depending on the application, the distance between the leash and the load can be changed.

For installation:

tie a piece of fishing line;
connect the leadcore with a sinker;
lead into the ring;
place two stoppers between the load and the lead core;
make a ring and connect it with a leash;
tie the leash to the ring, then to the leadcore;

Clip

The favorite among tackle for carp, a safe rig with a dead weight attached.

For installation, you must have a sinker, a swivel, a tube for equipment, conical, coupling, clip, tube 20 cm long:

put a clip on the fishing line;
thread the line through the cone sleeve;
attach a swivel;
attach to a leash;

Suitable for fishing carp in a weak current in lakes and reservoirs for long casts. But the leashes are often confused, and the sensitivity of the structure can be significantly reduced.

Sliding rig

With free movement along the line. It is quite sensitive and will not lead to a tilt of the tackle under the weight of the weight and it will not be difficult to make a cut in time.

To mount the sliding equipment, you need to choose a latch, a sinker, a silicone tube, a buffer sleeve, a swivel with a ring:

put the pipe on the line;
connect the leadcore with a swivel;
pull through the ring and buffer sleeve;
attach the swivel to the latch and then to the silicone tube;
mount a weight;
lastly, connect the hooks to the leash;

Carp killer

Reliable equipment, for installation you will need: hooks (3pcs) No. 6, rubber stopper, weight, swivel and fishing line:

put a sinker and a swivel on the line with a latch;
lead the line through all the springs;
fix;
tie a weight with a leash;
mount the swivel and latch. This completes the rig;

Does not require additional devices during installation. Can be crafted right at the fishing spot. The rig will remain above the water surface at all times, regardless of whether the trough is full or empty.

DIY tackle making

Let's consider how to make Inline tackle for safe fishing even in the event of a line break and when the feeder is freed from the rig. For manufacturing, you need to purchase a feeder feeder, strong fishing line with a trimmer, a swivel, hooks.

For installation:

Tie a swivel to the line and secure with a rubber corkscrew so that the mount is deaf.
Lead the line into the cavity of the feeder.
Measure out 30cm, make a loop.
Tie to main line.
It is better to prepare a leash from a special material.
You need to tie the fishing line by hand so that it will withstand in case of carp leaving the thickets and driftwood.
The hook size should be # 10.

Feeders and hooks are selected as for a hair rig when attaching the bait.

R Types of tackle for carp fishing

It is not easy to catch carp. Often there are trophies up to 8-10 kg, and an ordinary fishing rod can quickly break. When you make it yourself, the main thing is the strength of the rod and the average diameter.

Views:

Will do quite well feeder equipment, you can also make it yourself.
Float rod, as a popular tackle among anglers from flexible walnut rods and strong fishing line. The swing, bolognese, match, plug fishing rod is applicable. The main thing is to choose a fishing line of medium thickness and thick wire hooks.
Variety of donuts in the form of various feeders, which can also be prepared by hand. When catching carp, you cannot do without undercutting, so you need to play with the feeders and only in this way carry out the wiring. The best rod is a feeder rod with a spinning reel and a monofilament line with an elongation of 0.30mm. When fishing for small individuals, self-made feeders, nipples, ear pads, springs are suitable. There can be many options for self-production.

Equipment selection criteria

The flat bottom is favorable for carp fishing

It is better to fish with a feeder and a float with barbs to avoid injuries to the mouth of the fish. Carp also needs a strong line with a light sinker with an imitation of a stone, as well as the presence of a swivel, a bite alarm.

On a flat bottom, you can use a hair-like, slip-on rig.

The presence of snags

Carps love to hide under rocks, among reeds and vegetation. This is problematic for anglers, as the rig can be quickly and irrevocably lost. But it is in hard-to-reach places that large fish are found and are rarely found in open spaces. These are lovers of water shelters and only feel safe there.

In such places it is better to use a rod (quite powerful) up to 5 m in length, and the straighter the rod, the easier it is to control the bites.

Before starting fishing, it is necessary to build a stand for the stability of the fishing rod on the ground, and also mount:

an electronic signaling device with sufficient sensitivity, for example, Pacific Rim;
mono-line is suitable up to 0.35mm in diameter;
anti-twist from a tube in the presence of shells and a rocky bottom;
safe clips for releasing the load when fish bite in conditions with a difficult embossed bottom;
the streams are quite heavy for the possibility of a quick exit of the tackle from the water and not getting stuck in the reeds and algae;

Il

Preferred for carp but difficult for fishermen. It is in waters with a muddy bottom that carps are actively found.

If there is such a bottom, the leash in the pond should be 20 cm long with a marker sinker at one end.

It is better to use a marker rod, which avoids a lot of problems, also a float with the ability to stick.

A compact helicopter tackle for a muddy bottom, which is not capable of resisting when in contact with a sinker, is suitable. Feeders should be wide and light enough due to silt at the bottom.

Basic elements for carp fishing

Rod length up to 3-4m as the main element of carp fishing equipment. A completely fiberglass spinning rod of Chinese production is suitable, which can be bought for 400 rubles. in a fishing shop. Fiberglass is not inferior to expensive carbon, suitable for catching large carp with dough bait up to 250 g.
The reel is innovative, excellent for fishing carp, as quite powerful and reliable, not inferior in performance to inertialess models. But not suitable for beginners. The best option is to buy a spinning feeder model from the company: salmo, okuma, cormopan.
The leash can be invisible or neutral. It is better to choose a short leash for good bite vision due to the flat body of the carp. So that the weight is clearly visible to the carp and occupies a central position in the water in relation to the feeder. In the presence of a short leash, the throwing distance of the equipment being thrown will increase significantly.
Regular and monofilament line is preferred. Some anglers use braided line, which is quite sensitive. The diameter of the fishing line for carp is 0.4-0.5mm. The best option is a specially purchased carp line from the store with a fairly high coefficient of stretch. When playing large individuals, it will serve as an excellent shock absorber.
The main thing to select the sinker is taking into account the terrain conditions and the weight of the bait to keep the rig at the bottom regardless of the composition of the complementary food. She easily made the serifs herself and quickly notified the fisherman about the beginning of the bites.
The hooks should be bent inward or bent back with a sting. The first option is best, as reliable and sharp hooks, quickly swallowed by fish, which gives more chances of hooking.

Technique and tactics of catching carp

When fishing, it is necessary to observe some features, take into account the subtleties to obtain the desired result.

Carp is unpretentious to the habitat, but rather shy and rarely comes across with the awkwardness of the fisherman.

The main thing is to feed the fish place, but not too nourishing bait, because when the carp is full, the biting will immediately stop:

Complementary foods must be thrown in the same place, no more than 200 g every 1 hour, with the addition of flavors, but without a pungent smell, otherwise the fish can be quickly frightened.
Carp is shy, therefore, when fishing, you need to keep quiet and it is advisable to move away from the place of fishing. Also, choose clothes that are darker in color with the shore and surrounding vegetation.
As a fishing technique, you need to pay attention to the rod. A tapered rod is suitable, which can compensate for the powerful jerks of carp or feeder tackle. From bait: corn, peas, boiled potatoes, bread, boilies.
The bait clings to a hook or hair. So usually carp bites are confident. Although, when the bait is swallowed, the fish sucks it for a long time, tasting it, and only then takes it completely. This is manifested by light bites on the water, which also needs to be taken into account by fishermen.
It is advisable to mount an electronic signaling device to the tackle, which will indicate the approach of the fish.
The tackle should sink to the bottom evenly and completely. Fishing requires careful and gradual wiring to avoid line breakage when large fish are flooded.
After the carp appears above the water, you need to use a landing net or a hook.

Carp: description and features of behavior

Carp is a kind of river specimen with characteristic habits. It is a nocturnal fish and prefers to eat exclusively at night, while during the day it prefers to stay in the pits, go out to feed in the evening or early in the morning.

Carp is a schooling fish and is rarely found alone. Only large individuals with strong winds and swaying reeds sometimes fight off their flock, swim for the sake of curiosity to find food for themselves.

The fish is cunning and agile, quite picky in complementary foods and should be selected by fishermen taking into account the time of year.

In spring and autumn, simple plant foods are preferable, in autumn - of animal origin. Self-production of barley porridge, steamed, hominy, dough is suitable. In autumn, carp feeds more on worms, maggots, larvae, biting activators, i.e. any soft bait.

Habitat

Carp prefers to hatch in wide and deep places of water bodies with a weak current without a hard rocky bottom. The fish likes warm places and not too deep waters.

Often, it is found in shallow water, with strong warming of the water, it prefers to go deep into the reservoir, old channels, flooded quarries or small rivers. It hides under bridges with aquatic vegetation and many reeds.

Carp hibernate in deep pits. It wakes up in about March after the lilac blooms, begins to spawn in places convenient for itself, but tends to migrate long distances. Closer to winter, it strays into shoals of 1000 heads.

Chooses secret bays in rivers for wintering. But it happens in sunny clear weather, even in late autumn, jumps out of the water in order to feed early or late in the evening in cloudy weather. He considers river reeds and floating islands to be an ideal shelter.

Bite calendar

Winter- not a good time to catch carp. At this time, he is lazy, prefers to spend a little of the stocks accumulated over the summer.
Spring When the accumulated reserves run out, the carp begins to go out in search of food. A quite successful time for fishing is the end of April, when the carp are active and bite well. In mid-May, it begins to spawn and the biting stops.
Summer when the carp is quite active and constantly looking for food in comfortable conditions exclusively in warm water. In August, with the arrival of cold weather, a strong fever begins and good hot days are the best time for biting. Until the onset of cold weather, you can have fun with good catches until about mid-October.
Autumn, with the onset of cold weather, fish activity ceases, but before the first night frosts it is quite possible to fish up to the covering of rivers with ice. Bites are active until lunchtime, although most of the time the carp prefers to stay in wintering pits.

The main feature when mounting tackle on carp is the free movement of the feeder along the line.

Experienced anglers advise:

When installing the tackle, use strong fishing line and fasten the leashes well so that there are no breaks.
Use quality fishing rods that will not break when fishing.
To increase the strength of the line, use plastic for the material.
Do not raise the fishing rod too much above the water, otherwise all the fish can be quickly frightened.
If there are no bites, then you should not immediately replace all the equipment, you can only replace a part.
The tooling must be reliable and you cannot save on material. Some items can be purchased from specialized stores.
To achieve efficiency, you should prepare for fishing, analyze the depth of the reservoir, as well as the bottom;
In advance, a few days in advance, feed the fishing spot.

The main thing is that this or that installation of the equipment fully complies with all the features and conditions for catching carp.

Main types

Usually carp are caught with either float or feeder rods.

For productive fishing, the first are completed as follows:

A reel containing 100 meters of line.
A mono line with a diameter of 2.5 mm, which is useful for a leash.
Sliding mounting.
Lead strands for the sinker.
Hooks numbered 6, 8 or 10.

The feeder rod requires the following equipment:

2.5m rod must have a sensitive tip and plug connection;
A spool containing a 0.25 mm line.
The leash is 40 to 80 centimeters long.

Carp mounts with feeder

One of the simplest, most effective and popular options for mounting accessories. Its essence lies in the fact that the anti-winding agent goes right through the center of the lead. Often, inline is used when fishing in a pond or a small lake, because there is no need for long casting.

Another advantage, in addition to the ease of knitting, is the fact that when using this type of installation, the carp will face the mass of the entire pear-shaped sinker. Consequently, the jog will be very effective.

This is achieved due to the close position of the leader in relation to the center of gravity of the sinker. If you change its shape from pear-shaped to flat or even use a "bump", then inline is suitable for fishing on the current.

Assembly technique:

The swivel is tied to the fishing line.
After it, a rubber stopper is tightly tied.
The fishing line is pulled into the feeder.
The line is stretched 35 centimeters further and a loop is made from it.
For a leash, you need monofilament 10-12 centimeters long.
Next, a hook is attached, which has a hair attachment.

In-line carp equipment

Carp and carp killer

This rig is an upgrade of the standard tackle equipped with a feeder weight. Usually these are 3 feeder springs, which are connected by a fishing line. Each spring is equipped with a hook on a short leash on which the bait is placed.

There is bait on the spring. When submerged, it will begin to blur and attract fish. When eating the bait, the fish will swallow the hook and when trying to spit it out, it will self-catch. It remains to get the prey by making a control sweep.

How to assemble:

A fishing line is passed through the springs.
With the help of rubber stoppers, the springs are fixed every 10 centimeters.
The lead is tied to one end of the line.
On the other - a swivel equipped with a latch.

Rigging "Crucian carp and carp killer"

Blind rig

The main difference from previous mounting options is the length of the leash. It is very short, which allows for increased casting range and increased sensitivity.

Such a leash guarantees a quick serif, so the carp will not be able to react in time. Such a tackle does not slip. Deaf rig is used when fishing at shallow depths.

Assembly order:

The hook lead is attached to the swivel.
A fishing line is passed through a silicone tube and a clip.
Its beginning is attached to the swivel.
The end is pulled to the main part of the line through the swivel.

Blind rig

Anti-twist rigging

A similar installation for a feeder is perfect for fishing in a strong current, since the bite is well transmitted and the reel holds perfectly. The main argument of opponents of anti-twist rigs is the presence of a foreign object that can scare the fish.

The monofilament thread is put into an anti-twist, equipped with stoppers at the ends.
The lower swivel is fixed, followed by a leash with a hook.
Mounting the feeder on a carbine.
As a result, the long end should be in the direction of the leash.

Anti-twist rigging

Helicopter

Feeder mounting of this type will be optimal for fishing from long distances and on the current. Even in cases where the creation of a lot of effort and a lot of patience, the helicopter will pay off.

To create a montage, prepare:

leadcore with a clutch and a needle for it;
two rubber beads;
cargo;
swivels;
thermal shrink tube (length - from 40 to 60 millimeters);
PVA bag.

Installation process:

The sinker is installed on the shock leader.
A sleeve is put on the swivel and the leader with a needle.
The load is connected to the thermal tube.
The leash is attached to the swivel ring, the shock leader is attached to the monofilament.
We must not forget about ensuring the free movement of the beads along the thread to the knot.
A sinker and complementary food are poured into the PVA bag.

Rig "Helicopter"

Safety clip

This mounting technique is particularly popular. If it hooks on tightly, then the weight will move away. To create a safe clip, you need a clip, a weight, a cone-shaped coupling, a swivel and a rigging cabin.

Assembly instruction:

A monofilament thread is inserted into a 300 mm tube.
Its end is threaded through the sleeve and compressed into a tube.
The swivel and coupling are mounted on a clip.
The swivel is fastened to the other end of the monofilament.
Then it is threaded into the clip and attached to the leash.

Combine harvester

There are almost no differences in this version of the equipment from the standard carp spring, but there are additional advantages:

First, the harvester is easy to make.
Secondly, casting can be carried out over long distances.
Thirdly, the system is simply convenient.

Instructions for creating:

The springs are made conical. In the narrowest place, their size should be no more than 2 mm, and in the widest - 4 mm.
The total length at the trough is up to five centimeters.
The eyelet breaks through on its upper part, the swivel is attached to it.
The main line is tied to the swivel.
3-5 leashes are attached to the carabiner, up to 8 centimeters long.
It then adjusts to the swivel at the top.
One of the leashes is brought out through the spring.

Equipment "Harvester"

Flat method

A very famous mounting option. The appearance of the feeder resembles a balalaika, one part of which is flat. The rig is perfect for fishing in those waters where the bottom is covered with muddy silt or deep algae, because it will not sink into them.

Flat feeders provide good accuracy and casting distance. You can do them yourself.

For this you will need:

stainless steel wire;
metal hairpin;
plastic tube;
the shape in which the lead base will be cast.

How to assemble:

A curved wire with a pin is placed in a mold, where molten lead is poured.
After cooling, the product is pulled out, the hairpin is removed, and a plastic tube is glued instead.

Carp equipment "Flat-method"

If there was an official list of popular montages for carp fishing, then the symmetrical loop would consistently be in the top three. This is a popular feeder rig with a self-cutting fish effect. It is usually used in reservoirs where the current is very weak.

Useful for self-assembly:

mono line;
a pair of swivels with a clasp;
sinker;
feeder;
fluorocarbon line for the leash;
hook.

The build process has the following sequence:

The main line folds in half, and its ends turn in one direction.
This operation (twisting) is repeated ten times, after which a knot is made.
The swivel is threaded through the fishing line, and a free space is left twenty centimeters from it.
The knot is twisted, then the line is folded again. A second swivel is attached to its other end.
At one end of the line, a loop is folded and a leash 50 centimeters long is tied to it.
The hook is attached at its tip.

Symmetrical hinge rig

The main feature is high sensitivity and efficiency. Usually it is used for fishing with a high current in a pond. Materials for making: a mono line, a feeder, a pair of swivels, a sinker, a hook number 8 and a fluorocarbon line for creating a leash.

To assemble such an installation, you must:

The beginning is the same as for a symmetrical loop. The main part of the line is folded in half, and the ends are wrapped in either side.
At the first end, one of the swivels, a feeder and a sinker are attached.
On the other - the second swivel. Here the knot is tied.
A leash is attached, a hook is tied at its end.

Rig "Asymmetric hinge"

Almost the easiest rig to carry out, which at the same time remains very effective - paternoster.

For installation you will need:

braided line with a diameter of 0.13 mm;
mono line with a diameter of 0.2 mm;
a "cage" type feeder, which is equipped with a fastener.

The choice of hooks will depend on the size of the fish:

The 12th or 15th number is suitable for medium-sized fish;
7 and 8 - for a bigger catch.

Build process:

The line is wound on a reel, after which it is pulled into the rings of the rod.
Then the line is bent in half a meter from the end of the rod. A knot is tied 20 centimeters from the edge.
A sinker is attached to the resulting loop along with a feeder.
The remaining segment is tied to a segment twenty centimeters long. It is designed for a leash.

Rig "Paternoster"

Hair Rig Hook

The main feature is that there is no need to put the bait on the hook. It will go down the carp's throat when it swallows the boilie. We'll have to use auto-crop. Hair accessories require a hook for installation, which must have maximum strength, and hair (soft and small in diameter).

The assembly takes place as follows:

The bait is attached at a distance of 2 centimeters from the hook.
The hair is wrapped several times so that it can be extended later.
Hair rig is ready!

How to increase your fish catch?

For 7 years of active fishing enthusiasm, I have found dozens of ways to improve the bite. Here are the most effective ones:

Bite activator... This pheromone supplement attracts fish most strongly in cold and warm water. Discussion of the bite activator "Fish Hungry".
Enhancement the sensitivity of the tackle. Read the appropriate manuals for your specific tackle type.
Baits based on pheromones.

Necessary components

Hooks

First, decide on the crochet hook. For carp fishing, 3 types are often used: with a sting, bent inward or bent back, as well as hooks with a long and concave forend.

It is preferable to use those that have an inward curved sting. When applied, the chances of effective pinching and reliable fish swallowing are increased.

And other open water baits.

Main types

Usually carp are caught with either float or feeder rods.

For productive fishing, the first are completed as follows:

A reel containing 100 meters of line.
A mono line with a diameter of 2.5 mm, which is useful for a leash.
Sliding mounting.
Lead strands for the sinker.
Hooks numbered 6, 8 or 10.

The feeder rod requires the following equipment:

2.5m rod must have a sensitive tip and plug connection;
A spool containing a 0.25 mm line.
The leash is 40 to 80 centimeters long.

In-line

Thus, when using different configurations of weights, this type of installation becomes unique. The main disadvantages of inline are poor aerodynamics during casting and limited range.

Assembly technique:

The swivel is tied to the fishing line.
After it, a rubber stopper is tightly tied.
The fishing line is pulled into the feeder.
The line is stretched 35 centimeters further and a loop is made from it.
For a leash, you need monofilament 10-12 centimeters long.
Next, a hook is attached, which has a hair attachment.

Leashes

Pop-up, invisible, sinking and neutral leashes are used in carp fishing.

Their choice will depend on taking into account the characteristics of all types:

A long leash will scare the carp less, but the fish will have more time to free themselves from the hook.
With a short leash, the bite can be noticed literally immediately, but it will be more frightening.

Therefore, when fishing for carp, it is preferable to use them, because it has a more elongated body.

Combo leash for carp fishing

Sinkers

They are one of the most important ingredients when fishing for carp.

In order for fishing to be successful, the following characteristics of a weight are needed:

He must, in any terrain, firmly hold the rig in any type of bottom.
The lead is required to provide excellent line pressure for early bite notification.
Conditions must be provided for positioning the bait at the required distance.

Carp sinkers

Anti-twist

You will need it when using the safety clip. When choosing, pay attention to the smell of the anti-curling agent.

It sounds strange, but carps are susceptible to them, so a good fisherman should choose quality products that do not have a specific smell. The anti-twist tubes should not shine, so as not to scare off the fish.

Anti-twist devices with floats of three types - spindle, ball, tablet

Swivels

The main functions of these devices are:

Attaching a stopper where the lead will connect.
Avoiding twisting of the rig.

The most versatile and popular are the number 10 swivels. They fit any clip. When choosing a swivel, remember that the rule "The more the better" works here.

Swivels

The choice of equipment depending on the fishing conditions

Smooth bottom

Use a paternoster if there is a crucian carp in the by-catch and a flat method with a target.

This is where a simple and effective hair rig comes in handy.

Driftwood

It's better not to fish in the snag. But if there is no choice, then use Inline and oval weights.

Il

Only paternoster and flat method. The first one drowning in silt will not take away the bait, and the second simply will not drown due to the shape of the feeder.

We recommend that you wet the knot before tightening it. This will strengthen it and prevent the line from breaking.
In the absence of a bite, there is no need to change the equipment completely, only a partial change is enough.
In order to achieve an even and smooth placement of the bait on the bottom, it is best to attach a spring or sinker to the tip of the line.
It is best to use different types of groundbait in the springs. This will significantly increase the chance of luring carp.

Not so long ago, a tackle "crucian carp" appeared on sale, which is shown in the photo.

The tackle is quite original and catchy. After purchasing it and testing it in various conditions, I came to the conclusion that not everything suits me, namely:

Weight attachment (quick change difficult)
(if the fish is careful, when pricked with a hook, it manages to spit it out along with the bait.)

This can be clearly seen in the photo.

When biting, the fish, and even more so the crucian carp, feels the weight of the feeders and sinkers. This is good if the fish is not very careful, and when it bites, it self-hooks. There is no free play of the fishing line, as in the classic installation, so there are a lot of empty bites and descents.

The problem is solved quite simply. Having corrected the above-mentioned drawbacks of the factory tackle "Crucian Carp", you can make it more convenient to use on fishing and much more catchy.

Here is a step-by-step solution:

We take a nylon thread with a thickness of 0.3-0.5 mm and a length of 40-50 cm

We attach the swivel in any way convenient for you, our sinker will be attached to it.

At a distance of about 10 cm, we knit a bead (it is very convenient to knit by passing the thread through the bead twice and tying it with a double knot), the direction of the thread is preserved + a fairly reliable connection.

Now we put on a smaller swivel than in the first case, a leash will be attached to it and put on another bead.

The next step is to put on a sliding feeder, it looks like this

And after 5-7cm. the next bead (by the way, I make the feeders myself with the help of adaptations, so as not to waste money).
And we continue in the same spirit: bead-swivel-bead-feeder-bead, etc. until you get such a garland.

We knit a more powerful swivel at the other end of the garland for attaching to the main line. Now it comes to crocheting. You can prepare leashes of various lengths and knit them through the loop to the swivel, I prefer to knit directly to the swivel. It's more convenient for me, but everyone has their own habits, the choice is yours. Here's what happened

I know from experience that leashes should be from 4 to 7 centimeters long, but there are times when the leashes can be much longer, although the possibility of their confusion increases significantly.

I use a soft fishing thread to tie the hook. Its advantage is obvious: it is soft, does not frighten the fish, it is quite strong, it fits perfectly.

That's all. We hide the "killer" in a container (if you are interested, I can tell you how to make it).

There is also a variant of the "killer", two larger feeders. Usually I use it when fishing for larger fish, such as carp, carp, wherever, so that it works longer.

Now about the advantages of this tackle:

The sinker can be changed almost instantly, unfastened, fastened and ready. Change the weight of the sinker depending on the fishing conditions - current, depth, wind, etc.
The most important thing is the sensitivity of this tackle... Having taken the bait, the fish does not pull the feeder, but chooses a free supply of fishing line (thread) that is between the feeders without feeling the resistance of the weight of the sinker and feeders and is not frightened. Self-undercutting occurs when the supply of line (thread) reaches the bead above the hook attachment. Before self-cutting, we can observe the most careful bites and make a sweep in time.

One more tip - the feeder should be filled with bait,

During the open water period, everyone chases crucian carp together. There are a lot of techniques and methods for catching this weasel, but here The most effective tackle for catching it is the "crucian carp killer".

This tackle combines both a "feeder" and a "pacifier". This tackle can be easily bought in the store, and if it is not available, then you can do it yourself without any problems.

What does the tackle of a crucian carp look like?

It is better to hammer the springs or, well, if there is neither one nor the other, then you can use the purchased baits, or with your own hand.

On the hook itself polystyrene is hung, however, you can attach a different bait if you so desire. Although the idea is that the hook gets into the mouth of the crucian carp while pulling in the feed from the spring. therefore it is better to hang polystyrene so that little things do not hammer.

If you are fishing on the current, and the weight of the springs is small, then the weight of the desired additional weight can be attached to the last spring.

Catching a carp killer with a snap you can use both a fishing rod and a spinning rod. When spinning, you have a better chance of catching a good specimen. Carp also responds well to this tackle.

But before starting fishing, any experienced fisherman, the desired place and after a few hours, sends his tackle with an aimed throw to the fed place. If possible, you should feed the place the day before fishing, this will give.

How to make a tackle "crucian carp" with your own hands

Making this tackle will not be difficult. For mounting carp killers we need:

2-3 springs (for feeder fishing);
2-3 hooks (# 8-6);
1m. fishing line? 0.4-0.5 or cord? 0.2-0.3;
stoppers are rubber;
leash line, thread;
cargo;
swivel with a latch.

It is advisable to find springs with a tube inside through which we pass the main line. We fix each spring with rubber stoppers at a distance of 10-15 cm.

We knit a load at the end of the main line (we select the weight for the test of the rod). We tie a leash with a hook to each spring (3-5 cm leash length).

On the other end of the main line with a snap. Now let's take a look at all this in a short video clip.

Good to know

If you have the same weight of all springs, and you are not using a weight at the end, then be sure to put the last spring heavier or attach a weight at the end. And your rig will not get confused when casting, and even when diving, it will lie flat on the bottom.
If possible, use different bait for springs. This will give you a better chance of seducing the crucian carp.
