Light tackle for crucian carp on a fly rod. The best float rigs for crucian fishing rods. Float rod with feeder

carp- the most popular inhabitant of the reservoirs of our country. There are many ways to catch it. Each fisherman decides for himself which method to catch. It's like fishing with an ordinary fishing rod, spinning, and with an elastic band, crown, nipple, spring.

Let us consider in detail all the options for rigging gear for crucian carp.

Equipping a float fishing rod for crucian carp

You can equip a fishing rod for catching crucian carp in 2 options:

1. The first option is the most simple and banal: hook, sliding float, sinker, reel and fishing line.
2. Second option requires more detailed equipment.

Let's consider both options:

Fly rod rig

Connector

Allows you to quickly change equipment. At the same time, saving time when the intensive biting began. The connector is attached to the end of the rod.

Connectors are divided into the following:

• purchased separately for the rod;
• fixed by the manufacturer;
• homemade;

The first type includes plastic latches glued to the tip of the rod. Try on their rod when buying, otherwise you can make a mistake in diameter. By the way, plastic connectors perform better on fishing than homemade ones. This is due to the fact that they fray the line less.

Quality rods already have connectors installed. Now you can even find cheap rods on sale, in which the role of the connector is played by a special rope glued to the rod.

fishing line

Use a fishing line 0.16-0.2 mm in diameter for large individuals. 0.10-0.14 mm for medium and small carp.

Float

When choosing it, you should adhere to the following rule regarding the length of the fishing rod:

• up to 5 meters: carrying capacity is not more than 0.5-1.5 grams;
• 5-6 m rod with a float weight of 1-3 grams;
• 7-8 meter rods: choose 3-5 gram floats;
• rods for 9-10 m: floats are already taken weighing 4-8 grams;

If you look from the point of view of choosing the shape of the float, then they choose from the following criteria:

1. The shape of the float resembles an inverted drop, which tapers towards the antenna. Installed when fishing on lakes, rates and rivers with a weak current. hallmark A float of this shape is an excellent sensitivity to bite.
2. Olive shape. Holds steady on water in currents and strong winds. Such floats work better for utop. The weight of such floats is from 0.5 to 1.5 g. The shipment is additionally secured.
3. The shape resembles "barrels" and "eggs". They don't have such distinctive features from the forms described above, but are indispensable in strong currents and gusty winds.

Sinker

Enough one or two beads of 0.05 or 0.5 grams.

Leash

It is selected 0.2 mm less than the diameter of the main fishing line. Suppose the fishing line has a diameter of 0.18 mm, then the leash will be 0.16 mm. The length of the wiring is 10-30 cm.

Hook

It is necessary to focus on the size of the fish. Often, hooks No. 5-6 are tentatively chosen. The weight of such floats without loading is 1.5-2 grams.

The easiest way to measure the depth of the bottom on the fishing area is to use a large pellet attached to a hook or swivel.

The method is a little more complicated, but it will be more reliable when you use a weight and a large float, into which two holes are drilled at an angle of 45 degrees from different sides. The holes in the middle of the float should connect. When a depth measurement is taken, the line slides freely in the float. When handing out the rod, the line is wedged and you can very accurately measure the depth to the bottom.

Concerning the first and the most simple option fishing rod snaps, then everything is the same here, only there is no need to use a connector and a leash. The float is fixed in the required range thanks to 2 pieces of insulation from a wire on a fishing line, which are jammed with pieces of matches.

Feeder equipment

Read big.

1. For feeder fishing, a rod is chosen already with a test of 40-100 grams and a length of 2.1-2.4 meters. With a strong current, the load is increased, and accordingly the rod is taken with a large dough.
2. The fishing line is selected with a larger diameter, in the region of 0.15-0.25 mm. The size of the spool for it is 2500-3000. Hooks already take No. 8-14. Although often enough number 8.

Small advice: such equipment makes it possible to feel the slightest bite.

Spinning rig

Here, just making a quick cast with a sharp hook will not work, as the crucian leads a smooth life in a flock and digging in the silt. He walks his favorite paths, looking for bloodworms.

Therefore, adhere to the following rules:

1. Catch on spinning often in those places, where crucian carp is often caught weighing 100-200 grams and has a body size in the palm of your hand.
2. The bait should lie on the bottom. Therefore, they make standard wiring at the bottom.

So, the rod is used in 5-7 grams of dough, as well as in fast action. Choose a rod with a monolithic glued tip. The weight is taken at 1.5 grams, the hook is taken No. 5, which is tied to a leash 10 cm long.

Other options

Now consider those snap options where multiple hooks are used.

Spring rigging

1. The basis of such tackle is a feeder in the form of a spring, which is twisted from a wire 2 mm in diameter. The spring is fixed to the end of the main line and has several leashes with hooks. Leashes are also attached to the main line. The spring itself is the weight. That's it and it turns out to make long casts, as well as to keep the bait at the bottom.
2. A viscous porridge or other bait is placed in the spring. Additionally, “nipples” are formed from the bait, which mask the hooks.
3. Often fishermen have two variations of the spring design. This is a "bagel" and a "harvester". In the design of the "donut" a feature is its size 1.5-2 cm long in the form of a spring, but if you unfold it, it becomes clear that the length of the wire itself is only 5 cm. The diameter of such a spring is 1 cm. Leashes are attached around the perimeter.
4. "Combine" is already shaped like a cone, leashes are attached over the sharp end of the cone. Here the length of the cone is already up to 5 cm (maximum 6 cm), and the diameter of the base is 1-1.5 cm.
5. You can throw such tackle from a reel or telescopic feeder rods with throughput rings.
6. The fishing line is taken strong or braided, or a monofilament.
7. To consider a bite, use a nod, flexible rod tip or bell, electronic signaling devices for carp fishing.

It should not be thought that only the shape of the springs differs. They are attached tightly to the end of the main fishing line or made sliding. Small springs are made sliding without the use of a separate sinker for each. In this case, the main sinker is fixed over the first sliding spring.

All springs have their own travel range along the line. The range limits are fixed on both sides with stoppers.

The rod is selected 2.5-3.5 meters. The test load of the rod is 40 grams and no less. The reel is chosen to be inertialess from 2000 to 6000. The thickness of the fishing line is suitable from 0.25-0.3 millimeters. Hooks are chosen simply for the bait used. As a convention, it will be #7-8. The length of the leash is selected at the personal discretion of the fisherman. This is at least 5 cm or can reach as much as 50 cm.

Top rigging

This fishing method is simple. The fish, attracted by the smell of makuha, begins to suck the bait and sucks the hook.

This method does not require special fishing skills. A feeder rig is used to tackle the crown, but instead of a feeder it is equipped with a crown. And the fishing method itself is no different from fishing with a feeder.

So, let's move on to the description of the tackle:

1. Cargo. They take a weight of 30-50 grams of the "dovetail" type for fishing in still water. If fishing is planned on the current, then a load-washer weighing from 100 grams is already used.
2. Clasp. It happens industrial and homemade from a piece of wire. It is selected depending on the size of the piece of the top and the leash with which the hook is attached.
3. Leash. They are selected in a diameter of 0.18-0.20 mm and a length of 5-7 cm for mounting one hook. In the case of using two hooks on one leash, the length of the latter is already made up to 15 cm.
4. Hook. It is necessary to focus on the size of the fish: No. 3.5-7.
5. swivel with latch and a minimum breaking load of 10 kg. The swivel is attached to the loop. Thanks to him, the equipment will be connected to the main fishing line.

Do not forget about a piece of cake measuring 3 cm by 5 cm.

maquette assembly diagram

Mounting the crown is simple:

1. First skip a piece of fishing line(15-30 cm long) through the hole in the load and knit a loop for attaching a hook-and-loop fastener.
2. A swivel with a latch is fixed to the second end. If protection of the knot from the sinker is required, then a bead is fixed between them.
3. At the end, fasten the fastener with hooks.

The second option is a little more difficult:

1. In a rectangular weight, drill 4 holes along the edges. Cargo weight 30-150 grams.
2. To one of the extreme holes fasten the swivel with a latch.
3. to other holes fix leashes 7 cm long.
4. A piece of cake is fixed with rubber bands or screwed onto a screw screwed into a weight.

Snap pacifier

The simplest nipple is made from cork plastic bottle for 5-6 liters:

1. Drill 4 holes along the edges at the same distance. The main fishing line is tied to one hole. To the rest, leashes are fixed 5 cm long with hooks No. 5-7 in size.
2. If the fisherman wants to increase his catch, then a spring with 3-4 additional leashes is fixed to the cover. It is only necessary to take into account that they do this on large lakes.
3. The cap is shipped with lead in 10-15 grams in weight. To secure the load, use a piece of thin wire or a screw.

Now let's move on to the characteristics of the rod:

1. Buy it in 2.4-3 m long.
2. Coil pick up at least 3000, but still better than 4500. For safety, they take a reinforced coil. This is for safety net in case of biting carp on the nipple.
3. The main fishing line or cord is taken in a diameter of 0.20-0.25 mm.
4. A bell is attached to signal a bite.

Gum snap

Elastic band (donka) has long won the love of fishermen. In fact, it's banal bottom rod for several hooks. Only as a shock absorber to simplify fishing, a rubber cord is used.

Manufacturing:

1. Railway crutches are taken as cargo or weights cast in lead according to their weight. Also, the stones are in special bags. Approximately 300 grams of sinker will be enough.
2. A piece of fishing line is tied to the load itself already have an elastic band with a section of 3-4 mm to it. If fishing will take place on a rapid, then they are already buying an elastic band with a diameter of 6 mm.
3. The calculation of the rubber fragment of the fishing rod to the fishing line is in the ratio of 1:5. That is, for 5 meters of fishing line, you need to use 1 m of elastic. Plus 1-1.5 meters of elastic to the joint length. The total length is calculated as follows. For example, it is planned to fish at a distance of 30 meters. So they take 6-6.5 (5 + 1 or 5 + 1.5) meters of elastic and 25 meters of fishing line.
4. Connect the elastic to the fishing line thanks to the swivel.
5. Leashes are fixed on the fishing line itself through carabiners at a distance of 20-25 cm. There are no special subtleties in the length of the leashes. They limit the movement of carabiners with stoppers at a distance of 3-4 cm. At least 5-6 leashes are fixed on one donk.
6. The base fishing line is wound on a reel or reel with some margin, which, in turn, are fixed on a peg hammered on the shore. Additionally, the second peg is used for short-term fixation of the fishing line when the equipment is inspected or the prey is removed.
7. Also, they tie an auxiliary safety line with a reserve to the load. This is to pull the donkey out of the water after fishing without wandering into the water.
8. Hooks take standard for catching carp, and between the leashes the smallest feeder feeders without weights are attached.

Tackle "crucian killer"

This is rather not a separate type of tackle, but a set of 2-3 feeder springs connected by a fishing line (0.4-0.5 in diameter) to each other at a distance of 10 cm.

Manufacturing:

1. Instead of fishing line, you can use a cord with a diameter of 0.2-0.3 mm. The springs are stopped with pieces of rubber insulation and matches.
2. A leash of 3-5 cm with a hook No. 5-8 is fixed to each spring.
3. The springs are filled with mastyrka or hominy. A foam ball or any other bait is attached to the hooks themselves.

As a tip, I can only add that it is desirable to find springs from a hollow tube inside to pass the main fishing line.

1. Don't forget to feed your fishing spot before fishing. as well as while fishing.
2. Use bite activators for making bait.
3. Nobody forbids you to use it with a fly rod or spinning rod other options for equipment at some distance fishing with rod tackle.
4. If you fish with a simple rod set, then you can take two of these with two hooks on a leash for fishing.
5. Makukha is best bought in pressed pancakes from roasting. This is when sunflower oil is not refined.
6. As already mentioned you can attach a spring with leashes to the nipple. In the same way, you can make a combined snap. In this case, the spring is fixed at a distance of 0.5-0.7 meters from the plastic cover. Thus there will be a two-level fishing.

Good afternoon to all anglers! In this article, we will analyze point by point the main points in choosing equipment for catching crucian carp. Each angler approaches the choice of gear in his own way, taking into account personal preferences. Our recommendations are not a guarantee of successful fishing, they are only based on the experience of catching crucian carp. Rigging a fishing rod for carp fishing is an individual process for each angler.

According to our recommendations, the equipment of a fishing rod for catching crucian carp will be able to withstand large specimens of crucian carp and even small carp and carp. Tackle is more or less universal. Although universal fishing tackle does not exist at all, such equipment for fishing rods for catching crucian carp can be used when different conditions fishing.

For those who prefer expensive, branded carp tackle, I’ll tell you a little about how my carp fishing took place on the paysite. My bait catch without any problems did not differ at all from my neighbors in fishing spots with reels and rods of expensive brands. Our administration prefers the classic rod rig and recommends it to all anglers. So, in most cases, the costs are not justified.

When choosing a rod, you should pay attention to several points. I think it’s worth delving into the classification of fishing rods and their differences. Since the topic is very extensive and it needs to allocate an entire article. Now let's talk about our personal recommendations in this regard.

We do not use long-range and match rods. For most reservoirs, their use is not justified. Often, fishermen have lengthy disputes about the predominance of fly or Bolognese rods. It is best to choose a classic fishing rod.

The choice of the flyweight version of the rod raises some doubts. And the shortcomings of such a rod just confirm those very doubts. It is much more convenient to use a Bolognese fishing rod and during its operation there are no such problems as with a flywheel. After all, a person should rest on fishing, and if it is overwhelmed with problems and force majeure situations, then no rest will work.

If carp fishing will take place with the help of a classic rod equipped with rings, most of the problems will be easily solved. For example, if your fishing line is tangled, you can simply cut it off and tie the rig to a normal piece. With a fly rod, such a maneuver will not work, since when fishing with it, the equipment is in ready-made wound on a reel.

Not unimportant point is also the depth of the pond. And with its different values, the angler will need a fishing line of different lengths. Sometimes you have to fish at a depth of less than a meter, and sometimes more than three meters. It will be extremely difficult to use the same fly rod for such a range of depths. But we do not force anyone to use only the classics, the choice of rod is still up to you. And choose a classic or flywheel or all the same Bolognese fishing rod? Only you can answer this question based on your personal preferences.

Presumably, we will choose a Bolognese rod equipped with rings for fishing. An ordinary fishing rod, not a “thieves” and promoted brand, will cost relatively little. But you should not choose the cheapest fishing rod. Undoubtedly, we must pay tribute to simple rods, in which even the rings are not painted, they catch fish well, but not for long. But it is comfortable to catch them only if their length does not reach four meters. Such rods with a length of more than 5 meters in the hands of the angler become simple sticks without any sensitivity. And fishing with such a stick will not bring you any pleasure.

Carbon rods are much stronger and more sensitive. This means that it is much easier and more interesting to catch them. For such rods there is no threshold in length and they can be successfully used in options from 6 meters and above. Often on the shelves of shops and on the market you can find absolutely identical rods, the only difference between which will be a sticker and a price. Often the difference in price between one and the other rod will be very significant, and the characteristics are the same. In this case, you should choose for yourself the option with an average price.

If fishing at long distances is not planned, then put a heavy, large spinning coil would be a very big mistake. But there are also those who think differently, arguing their choice with phrases like: it's much cooler, it's much more convenient for people like them. These words do not carry any semantic load, as well as the use of coils of this type. It will be inconvenient to use a heavy and bulky reel and the tackle will lose its lightness from this. And the ease of equipment is one of the main rules when catching crucian carp.

We recommend choosing an ordinary plastic reel, only to store the tackle assembled. When using a reel match rod big size lose their relevance. There are no special requirements for the coil. You just need to choose a more convenient and easy option.

Undoubtedly, the thickness of the fishing line affects the catchability of the tackle. And with a decrease in its diameter, the number of fish caught increases. But, choosing too thin fishing line is also not reasonable. Based on the fact that crucian carp of significant sizes often come across, it is better to choose a fishing line of 0.25 or a little thicker. The use of fishing line of this diameter is considered the most versatile, and with this diameter it will not frighten the fish, but it will also be quite strong. I do not consider it necessary to choose a fishing line of a certain brand, and very often I do not pay any attention to the brand. Do not forget that if there is a great chance to catch fish weighing more than 2 kg in a pond, then you should choose a thicker fishing line.

Based personal experience I can say that such a fishing line will scare the fish only in clear water. But, if you delve into this issue, then with sufficient transparency, the fish will be frightened and a smaller diameter line. The use of leads is recommended by many anglers, but I do not use them, simply because I do not like to knit them and, as everyone knows: more knots - more chances to break the tackle.

If without a leash, the crucian is naughty, and its behavior improves as soon as a thin fishing line is used. Then the equipment of the fishing rod for catching crucian carp should be made with a leash. As for the use of a leash, so that when hooked, not to cut off the entire tackle, but only the hook. I'll tell you honestly, when fishing with a float, I have never caught on to such an extent that I had to cut off the tackle.

Thin floats are great for catching crucian carp. Conceived as a float, a goose feather or something similar to it is chosen. You can fish on such floats both in calm and in strong winds. Main Feature Such a float is its great sensitivity, it is thanks to it that it allows you to fix even the most careful bite. .

The shortage is a nipple for such floats (the elastic band of which they are fixed on the main fishing line). They can be replaced with a winding of wires of a suitable diameter or thin hoses. You can successfully use waterproof tape. Please note that the tape must be waterproof.

Selection of a sinker for catching carp

2-3 lead pellets are best suited for shipping a fishing rod for crucian carp. Often they are located close to each other, or even back to back. It would be impractical and inconvenient to place them along the entire length of the equipment when using a goose feather float. Undoubtedly, the choice of the location of shots depends on the preferences of the fisherman and everyone places them in his own way.

There should be about twenty centimeters of distance between the sinker and the hook. Very often, anglers, based on the behavior of fish in a particular reservoir, adjust the distance between the sinker and the hook in the process of fishing. If the number of unsuccessful hooks has increased dramatically, then you need to move higher from the hook. In the case when the fish eats the bait, and the float does not fix the movement of the hook, the sinker must be moved lower.

Choosing a crucian hook

When choosing small hooks, gatherings occur quite rarely. And the fish are caught very well. This is one of the secrets of crucian fishing. More about this in the article:.

Carp is the most common fish in lakes and reservoirs. Even shallow ponds, in which other fish cannot live due to the low oxygen content, abound with crucian carp. This fish is caught in several basic ways.

But the most common and well-known type of fishing is the float rod.

Buying tackle in a store / DIY

A novice angler can buy a ready-made fishing rod with a loaded float and hook in the store. Or you can buy a rod separately from all other gear and assemble everything at home. There are no drawbacks to any of the above methods of obtaining gear.

Optimal telescopic models float rods: Shimano ALIVIO CX TE 5-400, Salmo TAIFUN TELEROD 5.00, MIKADO FISH HUNTER SUPER FLOAT 500.

But let's focus on one very important point. Any purchased or self-assembled tackle must be configured. Carp is a very picky fish, so read this guide carefully.

And the second piece of advice. Keep up with the trends in float fishing. Available in stores and online a large number of specific and very interesting rigs, as well as crucian lures. Much is sanctified on our site.

Where to catch crucian on a float, search for fish parking

All stagnant water bodies where crucian live can be conditionally divided into two categories:

• Small lakes and ponds in which crucian carp is the owner, and there are no other fish in them. These reservoirs are characterized by shallow depth, muddy bottom, swampy shores. Here crucian carp is perfectly caught on various baits, but large specimens are rare.
• The second category of reservoirs, in addition to crucian carp, is rich in other types of fish, including predatory ones. These lakes and reservoirs have an average depth of about 3 meters and the water is oxygenated. In such reservoirs, crucian does not feel like a master and is distinguished by a capricious bite. But, having felt the crucian path, you can catch big fish for some bait.

Baits and nozzles

Various animal and vegetable baits are used to catch carp with a float rod.

Among animal baits, the best are:

• dung worms;
• bloodworm;
• maggot

If the worm can be used everywhere, then the bloodworm and maggot are used mainly in those reservoirs where there are no other fish, and the little thing will not eat the bait over and over again.

Purposefully hunting for large crucian helps a combination of pieces of crawling, strung on a hook in the form of a shish kebab. small fish unable to eat such a large bait.

Among vegetable baits, dough is held in high esteem by crucian carp. It can be made from:

• wheat;
• pea;
• corn;
• manna flour.

There are many different recipes for making dough with the addition of various flavors. Here every angler can show his imagination and culinary skills.

Steamed barley is an effective plant bait. It is used not only as bait, but also as bait. Each throw of the equipment is accompanied by throwing a pinch of barley at the point of catching.

Do not forget about such traditional products for catching crucian carp as pasta and pancakes.

Preparing the right bait (store or homemade)

Store-bought groundbait is a quick option, as preparing homemade groundbait requires many ingredients and time to prepare. But you can not completely abandon homemade ingredients. Something will definitely help us in creating the perfect mixture.

Fine-grained bait for crucian carp in ponds where crucian is the owner. Best results with baits Sensas, Trapper and Dunaev.

In order to successfully catch crucian carp, you need to feed the fish, and even better, bait a few days before fishing. But most often, anglers cannot visit the reservoir for grafting for 2-3 days at the same time. Therefore, it is important to master the feeding technique.

The feeding rule depends on whether the carp in the pond is the owner or not?

If crucian carp is the owner in the reservoir, then small dusty feed fractions can be used as part of the composition. In such cases, many store-bought baits and homemade mixtures are suitable.

And when other fish (including small ones) live in addition to crucian carp, it is better to feed with whole grains of barley, corn or peas. A mixture of whole oatmeal breadcrumbs and molehill earth works well in such cases. In order not to attract flocks of small things, the bait ball should only break up when it hits the bottom.

Equipping a float fishing rod for crucian carp

Two types of float gear are used to catch crucian carp:

• flywheel;
• match.

Catching carp on a fly pole at a distance of 10-15 meters allows you to accurately control the process of fishing. This tackle is familiar to many since childhood, when a fishing line with pre-prepared equipment was tied to the tip of the rod. Now it is possible to additionally install a modern rubber shock absorber, which dampens jerks of large fish and protects the leash from breaking. It is very important that the length of the entire rig is equal to the length of the rod. Fly tackle is mainly used for fishing from a boat or in a limited area.

match rod equipped with a reel, which allows you to make long casts of the bait, as well as to use thinner fishing lines. It is suitable for clean areas of water bodies, where there is no vegetation, and forced hauling of fish is not required.

Correct and sensitive float load

When fishing with a float rod, it is important to load the float correctly. This means that the weight of the sinker should leave only the working part of the float antenna above the water. It is usually painted in bright colors.

Many modern floats have two numbers indicating the weight of the float itself and the weight of the sinker required to reach the float's working position.

In addition, many models have a collapsible keel with a set of washers. By removing the washer, you can reduce the weight of the float by about 1 gram. This weight, in the form of a sinker, is added to the line and the rig reaches the bottom faster. In this way, the angler can change the speed of lowering the bait to the bottom.

Catchable technique of float fishing

Depending on the type of float gear chosen, it is necessary to use certain fishing tactics.

For fly fishing hardly suitable for baiting large balls. After all, fishing is carried out at a short distance, here it is better to cast bait in small portions. And in the process of catching, you need to throw a little food in order to keep crucian carp at the point of catching.

The tactics of catching with match tackle looks more complicated. First you need to determine a promising place for long-distance casting. A marker rod will come to the rescue, with which you can find the difference in depth.

5-6 bait balls are thrown here. Then the match tackle is thrown and the length of the fishing line is measured to the point of catching. The fishing line is stopped by a reel clip or a piece of fishing line is painted with a marker. After that, the marker rod is reeled in and fishing is carried out with a “match”.

Since crucian carp is shy, the next portion of bait can be thrown only when the biting stops.

Catching carp with a float rod is an interesting and spectacular activity. When the float antenna goes to the side or dives into the water, no angler will remain indifferent to the fishing process. And no other modern tackle will bring so much pleasure from fishing.

The fly rod is telescopic rod with a deaf snap attached to it, consisting of a fishing line with a float, a sinker and a hook. There is nothing superfluous in this gear.

This simplicity of design makes it the most affordable rod, which, moreover, is very versatile because it is well suited for fishing in a variety of conditions.

Carp on fly bait

Length

Suitable rods for carp fishing from 4 to 7 meters, most often used by fishermen 5 - 6 meter swings.

They are great for fishing in places where the fish come close to the shore or can be lured.

It makes no sense to take a fishing rod longer than 8 meters, since in this case you will need to use a long line, which will sail a lot, which will make it difficult to catch.

Rod strength

Good rods are made from lightweight and durable materials. It is convenient to catch with such gear, while they are able to withstand significant loads, which can be useful in different situations. For example, when a carp takes the bait during crucian fishing.

To check the power of the rod, you can fasten a piece of strong fishing line to its end, fasten it 100 gram weight and gently raise the rod to a vertical position. If no crunch is heard, the weight can be gradually increased.

If the rod confidently lifts 300 grams, its power is definitely enough for crucian fishing.

A rod that can easily withstand a kilogram load will allow you to pull out any fish, except for large carps.

Coil

At the tip of the fly rod there is a connector in which a loop of the main line is attached.

There are no slip rings on this rod. and the coil is not placed on it.

Thanks to this, the tackle becomes easier and more convenient to use.

But You can also use a Bolognese rod with a reel and throughput rings, using the fly fishing technique.

This option has certain advantages:

• depending on the situation, you can always choose the most suitable length of the main fishing line;
• the equipment is easy to remake by unwinding the required amount of fishing line from the reel and bandaging the leash;
• when playing a large fish, the presence of a reel with a friction brake significantly increases the chances of success;
• there is no need to have a separate box with ready-made rigs with you, as when catching a non-classical swing.

fishing line

Colorless monofilament suitable for fishing thickness from 0.1 to 0.2 mm, discontinuous load 1.5 - 3 kg. If fishing is supposed to be in places with an abundance of grass, where frequent hooks are possible, it is worth using a thicker fishing line; for fly fishing of medium-sized crucian carp in relatively clean areas, you can take a thinner vein.

rigging

floats

Best for carp fishing elongated floats fit(needle, cigarette form) weighing within 2 grams. They work especially well in calm weather.

When catching rods over 6 mlength heavier floats can be usedweighing up to 3.5 g.

Fusiform, teardrop or barrel bodies are also suitable, which are especially good for use on windy days.

The float is attached to the line with two cambrics.

Sinkers

The float is loaded using several small lead pellets spaced along the main line. They are fastened at a distance of 5 to 20 cm from each other, while the largest pellet is placed at the float, and the smallest is located near the hook. If fishing takes place in a reservoir where crucian carp often take it uphill, one small pellet can be fixed right next to the hook.

Leashes

In order not to lose all the equipment along with the float during a break, it is worth using a leash. It is attached in a loop-to-loop way, it can be made from monofilament or fluorocarbon fishing line thickness 0.08 - 0.12 mm.

Hooks

The size and type of hook is selected depending on which one is supposed to be used. Thin-wire hooks are suitable for fishing on bloodworms, maggots or steamed grains of cereals. If an earthworm is used as a bait, it is better to take a hook with a long forearm made of thick wire.

Most often, when fishing for crucian carp, hooks of 14 or 16 numbers according to the international classification are used.

fishing technique

Areas suitable for catching crucian carp with a depth of 1.5 - 2 m. Since large specimens often approach the shore, fishing with a flywheel can bring good results if you find the right point where the depth increases sharply as you move away from the water's edge.

Feeding

Bait must be thrown in such a way that all the balls lay down almost at one point. It is better to choose a landmark on the opposite bank of the reservoir and check the direction along it. After feeding the selected area, you can wait a while or immediately bait the nozzle on the hook and cast.

Crucian carp is one of the most unpretentious fish that can live in almost any water bodies - rivers, ponds, lakes, large reservoirs. You can catch it all year round(except for short breaks in winter). However, the most favorable period is late spring and early summer. At this time, there are especially large fish. She is very active and picky about bait, although she is forced to hide from numerous predators among reeds and other vegetation, so catching her is not so easy. Only reliable, properly selected gear can guarantee a good bite. For this purpose, you can use various devices, including bottom ones. But the most effective this case it is considered an ordinary float fishing rod for crucian carp, which allows you to easily catch the parking lots of this fish. The main thing is not to use it in deep water areas, but to be located where the distance to the bottom does not exceed 1 meter.

This is one of the classic rigs available in terms of technique even for a novice angler. It will be relevant throughout the summer season. It is better to postpone the feeder and donkeys for the fall, because at this time of the year the fish lives as close to the shore as possible, and there is simply no need for long-distance casts.

The float rod for carp fishing is sensitive and light. It does not require long preparation, allows you to instantly respond to a bite, quickly re-cast. However, in order for the catch to please, and the fishing itself to bring pleasure, you need to know how to make a fishing rod for crucian carp and choose the right components for it. That is what this article will be about.

Rod for catching carp on a float

Let's start with the basics. A fishing rod for a float rod can be anything. His choice largely depends on the conditions of fishing. The most popular among fishermen are fly and Bolognese rods. Each of these types has its own characteristics and advantages.

For those who prefer to fish from the shore in ponds densely overgrown with vegetation, a fly rod is the best choice. His optimal size is 5-7 meters, which allows you to fish at a distance of up to 15 meters. More is not required, since a significant part of the fish is found in these areas.

There are no throughput rings on the classic "mach", and the coil is not placed on it. The main line is attached to the connector, which is located at the tip of the rod. Thanks to this, the tackle becomes easier and more convenient to use.

In addition, a fly rod for crucian carp has other advantages, the main of which are:

• casting accuracy;
• minimal chance of confusing the line;
• versatility, the ability to catch other types of fish - roach, silver bream, small carp.

Another popular version of the rod, which is used to catch crucian both from the shore and from a boat, is the Bolognese. It differs in that it allows you to cast far and catch areas that are 20-30 meters away from the fisherman. Due to the design features - telescopic action, the presence of throughput rings and a special holder for the reel, this version of the rod has a number of advantages. For example, it allows you to choose the right length of line when fishing at different depths, or you can easily change the equipment by unwinding the right amount of monofilament and bandaging the leash.

However, unlike the flywheel equipment of the Bolognese fishing rod for catching crucian carp, it will be more delicate. The line used here is quite thin, so this option is not suitable for fishing in areas with abundant vegetation. Breakage of gear is almost inevitable.

Instead of a Bolognese, you can also use a match rod. It will also allow you to deliver the bait a considerable distance from the shore. However, amateur anglers do not use it as often, because it is not always convenient for them to make an accurate cast.

Equipping a float fishing rod for crucian carp

Having decided on the type of rod, you can proceed to the choice of the main elements of tackle, which include:

• fishing line;
• hook;
• float;
• sinker.

An important point: equipment for catching this type of fish in the spring and summer should be as light and inconspicuous as possible. That is why you should not use a too thick main fishing line for crucian carp on a fishing rod with a float. This inhabitant of the river depths is quite capricious. In clear water, he can be frightened by a fishing line of even a small diameter and not approach it.

Ideally, the cross section of the monofilament should vary between 0.12-0.2 mm. A vein with a diameter of 0.2 mm is quite capable of withstanding a rather large fish weighing up to 2 kg or more. A thinner monofilament fishing line is not suitable for equipping a crucian fishing rod. Too great a chance to catch on a branch or snag and cut off the tackle.

Use braided fishing line for a float rod, many anglers consider it impractical. First, it costs more. Secondly, it stretches less, so pulling out large fish with it can be very problematic. If the angler nevertheless decided to use a braid for fishing rods for crucian carp, the prey should not be cut so sharply so as not to tear off the lip of the prey.

The line for the leash is usually taken a little thinner. This also allows you to "lull" the vigilance of the river dweller. If the angler is lucky enough to pick up a large specimen and the tackle breaks down and breaks, then he will lose only a leash with a hook.

The length of the leashes for a crucian rod should be small, about 7-8 cm. This fish loves when the bait is located at the very bottom and does not come off it. If the leash is longer, then the hook with the nozzle can rise upward.

Floats for fishing rods are better to choose an oblong shape with a long tip, weighing up to 3 grams. They are most sensitive to even the slightest bite.

Since at this time of the year this individual prefers a smaller bait, the crucian bait hook should be small (No. 12-14), as simple as possible, without any special bends.

An interesting fact: the probability of getting off such a hook is negligible. But the fish are caught very well.

It is not recommended to use the same hook for a long time. After 2-3 fishing trips, it is better to change it to a new one.

Lead shots are used to ship such gear. Their mass should be no more than half the weight of the float. This will be enough so that when the equipment is thrown into the water, it can remain in place. If it still will be demolished to the side, then the sinker can be added. However, it is impossible to ship a fishing rod for catching crucian carp strongly. If the fish feels resistance when biting, it will drop the bait.

Having all of the above at hand, you can assemble a suitable equipment for a float fishing rod for crucian carp. It is universal because it fits almost all conditions. Then it will be possible to adjust it for yourself and change something.

Secrets of mounting float tackle on crucian carp

Even a beginner can cope with the task. However, it will be useful for experienced fishermen to learn a few secrets on how to mount tackle. So…

For effective fishing for crucian carp on a float, it is necessary to correctly ship the equipment. You can check it by the float, which should be located strictly vertically in the water. It is best if his body is completely sunk, and only a bright top is visible above the surface.

The bottom of the float should be painted dark. Then it will not be so noticeable to the fish, and it will become more willing to approach the bait.

Do not use too thick fishing line and a heavy float for fishing. Such equipment will be clearly visible, and the fish are unlikely to want to try the bait.

To make the tackle for fishing for carp less noticeable, you can use a dark brown or gray fishing line. So it will merge with the muddy bottom or water.

Hooks should be chosen to match the bait. For example, for fishing on a dung worm, it is better to take it with a long forearm. For most other baits, hooks with an increased bend will work.

If desired, the hook can be replaced or supplemented with a mormyshka. It will increase the attractiveness of the bait for fish and increase the sensitivity of the tackle to bite.

Fly rod for crucian carp and its equipment

The classic "max" with a blind rig is the most popular rod among anglers. But in order to get a good catch, this tackle should be properly equipped.

First of all, you need to pay attention to whether there is a connector on the tip of the rod to which the fishing line will be attached. If not, then you need to buy and install it. Instead of a connector for attaching a fishing line, you can use a rubber shock absorber.

After that, you should take a monofilament with a thickness of 0.14-0.16 mm with a breaking load of about 2.5 kg, make a loop out of it and put it into the connector. After that, you need to measure the fishing line to about the middle of the rod handle. Ideally, there should be somewhere between 20-30 cm, necessary for leashes.

At the next stage, you will need to fix the float by threading the fishing line through a special eyelet. To keep it better, you can put a cambric on its top or keel.

Then you need to install leashes. It is best if there are two of them. In this case, you can fish with different baits and quickly understand which bait is in great demand among the inhabitants of this reservoir. To make the mount reliable, experienced amateur anglers recommend using a triple swivel. You can tie the main fishing line to one ear, and use the other two for leashes.

If desired, you can do without a swivel. To do this, you need to make a loop and use carabiners to fasten leashes to it. This method is quite convenient. Thanks to the loop, the leash can be easily replaced in case of a break.

The fishing line for this purpose should be slightly thinner than the main one. In addition, leashes are better to do different lengths, for example, 15-20 cm and 10-15 cm. So they will be less tangled.

Then you can tie the hooks. Their size can vary from #8 to #16 depending on the intended weight of the trophy and the type of bait.

It remains only to ship the tackle. For this purpose, you can use several small pellets. Total weight must not exceed the mass of the float. They should be distributed in such a way that most of the weights are located at the junction of the leashes and the main fishing line.

Float rod with feeder

This tackle is of no less interest to fishermen-"floaters". And this is quite understandable: by equipping a float rod with a feeder, you can significantly increase the number of bites. After all, the nozzle and bait in this case will be located in close proximity to each other.

To mount such a fishing rod, you will need a sliding float, a swivel with a clasp, stoppers, beads, a small spring feeder, which should have an internal load.

You can start the assembly, for this you need:

• put on the main line the first stopper, which will set the depth;
• start the swivel and hook the float on it;
• install another stopper that will limit the slip of the float and prevent the gear from getting tangled;
• skip the fishing line through the spring feeder;
• put two beads, first large, then smaller;
• make a loop on the fishing line and fasten the leash with a hook.

An important point: the distance between the feeder and the lower stopper should be twice over size float, otherwise it may get caught or tangled.

Some anglers bet on this float tackle another short leash that is attached directly to the feeder. It turns out a real "killer for carp." The main thing now is to use a viscous thick bait, and put a ball of colored foam on a hook with a short leash.

A little about the tactics of fishing for crucian carp

In conclusion - a few words about the tactics of fishing.

Since the fly rod is used for fishing on short distances, feed the place is not difficult. Having made the starting feed, you can cast the bait. However, adding bait in case the fish does not bite is not worth it. You need to wait a bit until the crucian gets to the point. And only after that you can start feeding, given the intensity of biting.

Best of all, this fish takes at dawn. If after the evening fishing the place is fed a little, then in the morning the probability of a good bite will increase significantly.

It should not be forgotten that the fly rod is a rather delicate tackle. You need to catch it carefully, making not very sweeping cuts. Otherwise, the thin leash simply will not stand up, and the coveted trophy will float away with the hook.
