Making bottom gear for catching silver carp

Description of the species, lifestyle of silver carp

Silver carp (lat. Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) or silver carp is one of the largest schooling fish. It leads a pelagic lifestyle, that is, not connected with the shore and bottom of the reservoir - all stages of its life, including spawning, take place in the water column.

Initially, silver carp lived in the reservoirs of the Amur basin, but is now widely acclimatized in Central Asia and the European part of Russia. Often reaches a length of 1 m

with a weight of 40 kg. The largest specimen of silver carp caught on Akhtuba in Three Rivers was 1.2 m long and weighed 48.5 kg (!).

It looks unusual: the body of the silver carp is tall, covered with small light silver scales. He has a huge head and a very unusual mouth structure - the lower jaw is much larger than the upper and protrudes forward. The mouth of a silver carp is a kind of “filtering” apparatus.

The fact is that silver carp feeds on phytoplankton (microscopic algae) and other small organisms that live in the surface layer of water, rising from below and swallowing sediment filtered by the mouth. Thus, this fish purifies the water from plankton and detritus and makes it cleaner.

Silver carp are successfully bred on an industrial scale along with other fish species.

It winters, gathering in schools, in deep river-bed holes, in the same place as bream and carp. At the same time, it falls into a stupor and does not feed at all.

Silver carp habitats on Akhtuba

On Akhtuba, in the area of ​​the Fishing Village “Trekhrechye”, silver carp lives in deep holes and on shallow reaches, where it sometimes basks in warm water. At the same time, he lies on his side and waves his pectoral fin in the air. In general, this fish is mysterious and leads an unusual lifestyle to match its appearance.

Silver carp has an unusual property, which is especially evident in the spring. When passing along thickets of aquatic plants in the shallow waters of a motor boat, a silver carp jumps high out of the water. Considering the sometimes quite large size of this fish, a sudden pirouette of such a “dolphin” while fishing on Akhtuba can cause a completely unpredictable reaction in the fisherman...

How and what to catch silver carp on Akhtuba

No one catches silver carp, like White Cupid, on Akhtuba on purpose. This is due to his specific diet.

It happens that it turns purple while fishing on the track or when trolling in the upper layers of water. This often happens in early spring and late autumn, when silver carp migrate in large numbers through the branches and channels of the Trekhrechye. It happens when he turns purple on a jig in the pits. It is not prohibited to catch it, but remember that using special gear to catch fish is poaching.

However, there are ways to catch this amazing fish. When there is a lack of food, especially in spring and late autumn, silver carp, in addition to its diet, eats algae, midges from the surface and young shoots of reeds (kuga), and even captures fry. The traditional method of catching silver carp using float or bottom tackle with baits made from bunches of algae, cucumber, sweet fruits, lettuce, etc. is based on this feeding feature. There are also more modern technologies for catching silver carp. They work on the principle of creating a dense cloud of turbidity from artificial plankton, which reminds the fish of an accumulation of its natural food. This “technoplankton” contains a hook, which is sucked in by the silver carp when capturing the next portion of water with food. In this case, it is better to use a float rod instead of bottom tackle. It is better to use a float that is not bright, since the fish sees the bait from below against the sky.

Given the shallow depth at which silver carp feed, the bait should be placed at a depth of 10-15 cm from the surface.

And of course, we should not forget that silver carp is a very large and strong fish. Accordingly, the gear (rod, fishing line, swivels and hooks) must be strong enough and of high quality.

In winter, silver carp cannot be caught.

Taste qualities of silver carp

Despite the fact that the silver carp has a certain commercial value, this exclusively herbivorous fish contains little meat - the bulk of the silver carp's body consists of the entrails, head and tail. The ratio of the amount of meat in silver carp to its weight is approximately 1/4. On an industrial scale, canned food is made from silver carp.

The meat of large silver carp is very fatty, so it is better to eat fish weighing up to 10 kilograms. Silver carp is fried, boiled and smoked. It can also be consumed freshly pickled (pickled in wine, vinegar or lemon juice with spices). We bring to your attention one of the ways to marinate silver carp directly while fishing.

Marinated silver carp “Korean style”

It is better to take a small silver carp, about 3 kg (larger ones are too fatty), always fresh. You will need: coarse rock salt, 3 tbsp. spoons of apple or wine vinegar (9%), 3 tbsp.

olive or sunflower oil, coarsely ground black pepper (or better yet, a mixture of peppers), onions, bay leaves.. Remove scales from the fish, gut it, remove the fins and head. Cut the carcass into small portions, cover completely with salt and leave in a cool place for 5-6 hours. Then rinse and place in a two-liter jar in layers - sprinkle each layer with pepper and finely chopped onion (do not spare the onion). Place the bay leaf at the bottom of the jar and at the very top, pour vinegar and oil on top.

Close the jar with a tight lid, turn it over and put it in a cool place (preferably in the refrigerator). Turn the jar over twice a day. The fish will be cooked in 3 days and can be stored for 10-15 days. Bon appetit!

Bait for silver carp

First of all, you need to understand the principle of catching fish: it will not bite on ordinary bait , since its tastes differ from the preferences of other fish. Experts say that silver carp bite most readily on a bare hook. For successful fishing you will need several large hooks. Naturally, silver carp will not just become interested in a bare sting. It is attracted to plankton, that is, turbidity that contains food. Accordingly, a silver carp that sees a muddy spot in the water will swim there and swallow it along with its hooks.

For fishing to be successful, you need to make such a cloudy cloud with your own hands. For this purpose it is used:

• special technoplankton, which is a compressed barrel and is sold in any fishing store;
• geyser bait, which will be sprayed in the water;
• homemade porridge with sprayed ingredients;
• cake.

Naturally, in any store you can find a large selection of baits intended for silver carp. However, they are not always effective when fishing, so you need to choose a product that is at least in the middle price segment, which is recommended by experienced fishermen.

Unknowingly, you can purchase technoplankton, which does not dissolve in water even after 3–4 hours , but this time should be no more than an hour. To avoid such low-quality bait, it is enough to make the porridge with your own hands. In this case, it is necessary to use special components:

• semolina;
• Wheat flour;
• powdered milk;
• bran;
• cookie crumbs;
• vanilla sugar.

All these ingredients will help create cloudiness in the water. For the finished bait to be effective, you need to understand the equipment.

Making bait for silver carp with your own hands

To do this, find a 4-liter container, pour water into it and put it on fire. Bringing the water to a temperature of 50-60 degrees, pour 1 kg of peas into the bowl. After this, the heat is turned to minimal and the peas are cooked over such heat for 3-4 hours until they are boiled. While cooking the peas, be careful not to burn the peas, otherwise you will have to start all over again.

After the peas have boiled, they are strained. Large fractions of peas can be used for feeder fishing, and the broth can be used to prepare bait for silver carp.

After this, the broth is put back on the fire and semolina (2-2.5 kg) is added to it in small portions and mixed thoroughly. This continues until the mixture begins to stir with a spoon.

After this, the porridge is removed from the heat. After cooling, this composition is mixed by hand with the addition of semolina. Semolina is added until the mixture stops sticking to your hands.

You can add 1-2 tablespoons of honey to the resulting bait.

This amount of bait is enough for several fishing trips. To preserve it, you need to divide it into several parts and put it in the refrigerator.

The next task is to bait the fishing spot to attract silver carp.

Gear for catching silver carp from the surface

To catch this fish from the surface, use the “silver carp killer” tackle. Such equipment is externally represented by a large float with increased carrying capacity . 30 cm from it there is a feeder, that is, a spring with attached hooks. They should hang slightly lower to be in the center of the cloudy cloud.

It is enough to watch the corresponding video to understand that the silver carp near the feeder begins to filter the turbidity and sucks in the hooks. It should be noted that they should be quite large.

This rig uses a sliding sinker. It is placed on a float. In this case, it serves as an anchor. The vertical position of the float is possible thanks to a feeder filled with technoplankton or porridge. As soon as the bait is completely dissolved in the water, the float will tilt, which means you need to refill the feeder.

When fishing for silver carp, you must remember that this fish is large and strong, which means that in the process of fishing it will make sharp jerks and turns . A low-quality hook is unlikely to cope with such pressure. By the way, you need to pay attention to its sharpness. If the hook is slightly dull, it will be difficult to catch silver carp, because the fish will spit out the hook.

Technoplankton fishing gear

All types of gear that are used for catching silver carp using technoplankton have one common part called the silver carp stick. This product is made in the form of a diamond or square frame with a sliding pin. The plankton cylinder is placed on this part. Leashes with attached hooks are attached to the enclosing parts of the frame, and these elements should be located in the food decomposition zone, or rather in a cloudy spot. While moving through the reservoir, the fish will “be attracted” to the muddy food, begin to actively suck it in and get hooked. Now let’s get acquainted with the types of rigs for silver carp.

How to properly catch a silver carp killer?

When the gear is collected, you need to fill the feeder with porridge or replace the spring with technoplankton. When using porridge as bait, you can hide hooks in it, otherwise they may get tangled. When using technoplast, you need to remember that it does not act as bait, but only improves the suction of the hook , so you can put several pieces of foam on it, leaving the sting bare.

Experienced fishermen recommend bringing in your gear first. To do this, you need to lower the clutch and then sail to the middle of the river. It must be remembered that after lowering the float and sinker into the water, the float will move slightly a few meters towards the shore. You can verify this by watching the video.

It is better to catch silver carp with such gear using several rods at once . In this case, it is necessary to stick the porridge onto the feeder so that it is several times larger than the size of the spring. While fishing, you can put several gears to the side so that you can catch silver carp without constantly watching the rod. When you bite, you will probably see the float move to the side or sink under the water. In extreme cases, a cracking noise from the clutch will be heard. It is worth remembering that silver carp most often hook themselves, which means you can catch other fish at the same time.

Recommendations for catching silver carp

This fish is considered heat-loving. Accordingly, it actively feeds when the water warms up to 18˚ C. As a rule, this is mid-May. The exact period will depend on regional weather conditions. In any case, there is no point in catching silver carp with the onset of autumn, because already in September the fish are not biting well.

The ideal time for fishing is morning and evening . Moreover, it is important to remember that during the day the fish goes deeper, and in the mornings and evenings it stays closer to the shore, but it will not be possible to catch it at a distance of 20–30 m. If you come for a small bet, it is enough to place the equipment in the middle of the reservoir. On a large reservoir, the bait needs to be moved depending on the time of day. With the onset of night, you can use equipment for catching carp, and by morning it is recommended to use the tackle for silver carp killer.

Homemade porridge or special purchased baits are replaced every 2 hours. If you bought low-quality technoplankton that does not dissolve even after 1.5–2 hours, stop using such bait.

Fishing for silver carp does not always give the desired result. In order for fishing to be effective, it is necessary to experiment with baits, lures and lures. It is also worth studying the behavior of fish and watching relevant videos of experienced fishermen.

Fishing conditions

A large amount of aquatic vegetation is one of the conditions for the presence of silver carp in a given place.

How to choose a place

• the bottom of the reservoir should be sandy, clayey or rocky;
• the main depth is from 2 to 2.5 meters.

The most favorable weather conditions for catching this fish are a headwind (or calm), high water temperature, warm sunny weather, and the time of day is from dawn to noon; at night, it is unlikely that you will be able to catch silver carp.

One of the most effective baits for catching silver carp is technoplankton.

Description of the gear

The silver carp killer consists of a large float, below which a feeder or frame holding technoplankton is attached. Hooks are attached to it on short leashes.

The main idea of ​​the gear is as follows:

• The feeder contains bait, which, when it gets into the water, begins to “dust”, creating a cloud of turbidity.
• This turbidity and the aroma emanating from the complementary food attracts silver carp to the fishing point.
• The fish swims up and begins to filter the resulting turbidity with its gills, while swallowing the hooks.

It is important that the hooks are located slightly below the feeder and are in a cloud of turbidity. Otherwise, the effectiveness of the gear will be almost zero.

With this approach to catching silver carp, you don’t even need to use baits. It is enough to tie strong, sharp hooks of the required size. The fish, filtering the turbidity, will simply suck them in. However, experienced fishermen still use bait:

• peas;
• a piece of cucumber;
• seaweed;
• carrot;
• cabbage.

You can hook foam balls onto single hooks. This way the leashes get tangled less, and the fish sucks the bait better. Technoplankton is also used.

Be sure to attach a sliding sinker under the float. Usually a lead olive of the required weight is used. It serves as a stabilizer for the equipment and additionally contributes to the casting distance if fishing is carried out at a considerable distance from the shore. When the feeder is empty, the float tilts and this indicates that it needs to be taken out and “recharged”.

There are different options for the silver carp killer:

• Adjustable to different depths - the most popular and versatile equipment.
• For fishing under the wave - designed for windy weather when fishing in large bodies of water.
• Non-hooking - for fishing hard-to-reach places, such as snags and overgrown areas of the reservoir.

Typically, anglers choose the first option as the most versatile and easily customizable. But you should remember about other types so that you can use them at the right time.

Silver carp stick

Initially, this rig for catching silver carp, an element of gear for catching silver carp, was also produced only in the British Isles. In recent years, only a lazy lover of silver carp fishing does not bend such a “frame” on his own. However, in almost every fishing store you can buy a silver carp stick, which is a specially curved frame.

The central axis is intended for securing technoplankton. After it is placed on the central axis of the main element of the silver carp tackle, the technoplankton is fixed using a small cap.

Leashes with hooks are attached to the “wings” of the stick. The leashes are not long. The sting is covered with a nozzle. You will have to think about the details of the equipment and their adjustment to specific conditions directly on the reservoir.

Advantages of gear

The silver carp killer is a highly targeted, highly effective tackle. Its specificity lies in its “tailoring” for this underwater inhabitant. Sometimes it is used when fishing for grass carp, and very rarely when hunting for carp.

The advantages of this gear are:

• accessibility and prevalence;
• ease of installation and self-production;
• wide variability for different fishing conditions;
• relatively low cost and the ability to use available materials;
• high efficiency;
• the ability to fish any horizons from the very surface to the bottom.

The silver carp killer can be used both with technoplankton and purchased bait mixtures, as well as with home-made porridges.

The gear works throughout the open water season, starting in spring, as soon as silver carp become active, and ending in late autumn, when the fish practically stops feeding.

How to catch

For fishing for silver carp killers, a feeder or picker rod is usually used. You can use a spinning rod with dough corresponding to the weight of the equipment. The reel is usually taken to be a large, inertia-free reel with good traction characteristics.

The feeder is filled with bait or technoplankton is used. The bait is attached to the hooks, and the tackle is thrown into the water. From the first casts you need to fish the surface horizon. If there are no bites from silver carp, then it is advisable to lower the equipment into the water column by a meter, then another one, and so on until the very bottom, until the current working depth is determined experimentally. Float equipment allows you to fish at different depths.

When using porridge, you can hide the bare hooks directly in the feeder. By sucking and filtering the complementary food, the silver carp will certainly swallow them and a bite will follow.

There is no need to hook the fish, because it usually hooks itself. Complementary food and technoplankton should be changed at least every two hours.

When fishing for silver carp during the day, it is necessary to make long casts, since it stays at a considerable distance from the shore. This is fraught with tangling of the gear. In addition, bait and bait can fly off during splashdown. To avoid this, the fisherman fixes the rod on the shore, and he gets into the boat and brings the equipment to the required distance.

The best bite for silver carp is observed in the morning and evening. At night, catching this underwater giant is not easy and usually all attempts are unsuccessful.

Fishing for silver carp using technoplankton

Technoplankton is compressed bait for silver carp, located in a small barrel. Technoplankton dissolves and creates turbidity on the surface of the water, which attracts fish. But when choosing this type of complementary food, be more careful and do not take the “cheap” one: once thrown into the water, the complementary food will not dissolve, but will float in the barrel without sinking to its bottom.

Fishing for silver carp using technoplankton is unique and differs from other conventional fishing methods. In this version, the hooks are located above the barrel; they float using the foam placed on it. The silver carp, seeing a muddy cloud, does not notice the trick, and while swimming, they get hooked.

Catching silver carp on technoplankton with a float

Fans of float fishing will be interested in catching silver carp using technoplankton with a float. The sliding weight is put on the main line, then this line leads to a float that floats on the water. The float must be “lying”. You can make a float yourself from foam plastic, and experienced fishermen insert a light into it for night fishing. Ready-made store gear also shows high efficiency.

Tackle for catching silver carp on technoplankton

Hooks must be solid and strong. Silver carp, like all carp, are strong fish, so you shouldn’t force the landing.

Gear for catching silver carp should be chosen according to the time of year.

• Donka;
• Feeder;
• Float tackle;

Tackle for catching silver carp

To catch silverfish, choose high-quality gear. When fishing with a feeder or donk, you should use a solid rod:

• test from 100 g;
• medium or fast action;
• length up to 4 meters;

It is advisable to use the reel with a baitrunner. You should immediately adjust the clutch tension on the reel.

Catching silver carp without a landing net is a risky activity. Choose a landing net handle equal to or longer than the rod. The size of the landing net basket should also be selected to match the intended trophies.

Choose the right gear for catching silver carp using technoplankton:

• Leashes with multiple hooks lead to tangling, so it is better to choose one.
• A float is preferable to a cone-shaped float.
• You shouldn't make a long antenna either. When catching silver carp at night, you can place a firefly on it.
• A sliding sinker, or a stationary one.

For fishing on the surface (with a float), a tackle with a spring is suitable. If you choose bottom or feeder fishing, then use geyser bait.

Installation of tackle for catching silver carp

Many anglers do the installation of equipment for catching silver carp themselves:

• Sliding sinker for casting;
• It is worth clarifying that it is better to use a double-colored float: the bottom is black or gray, which is used for camouflage, and the top is yellow, light green, or red. To set the fishing depth, use a rubber stop; the float will be supported by a stop bead.
• A load weighing from 10 to 15 grams is placed over the silver carp stick.

The ready-made tackle is also attractive - “Silver Carp Killer”. It includes floats, hooks with feeders and sinkers.

How to make tackle with your own hands

According to experts, you can catch silver carp with a fishing rod or special bottom tackle. In the latter case, a special spiral is used with porridge or other substances that form turbidity in the pond or a silver carp killer stick.

The base of the stick can be a regular bicycle spoke. A weight and hooks on leashes are installed on this part. The easiest way to make equipment for silver carp is to make a special spring, which will contain technoplankton or a mess with substances that form clouds of turbidity in the water. The most catchy type of tackle is considered to be a regular fishing rod with a sliding float of increased carrying capacity.

The process of making a “silver carp killer” begins with installing a sliding-type sinker weighing from 30 to 40 grams on the main line. After your weight has been installed, begin securing the stopper and fixing the float. Next, beads and pellets are strung on the thread, and a spring or knitting needle is installed to secure the technoplankton. When using a spring feeder, a special porridge is used as bait.

At the final stage of work, leashes with a cross-section of 0.25...0.3 millimeters are tied to the equipment and large hooks No. 5...7 are tied. The bait is foam, this substance will slightly raise the hooks in the water column and deliver them to the cloud of released food.

Fishing gear

There is no doubt that with a certain amount of luck and luck, a respectable silver carp can be caught as by-catch during carp fishing, but in practice, fishermen have been using fish-specific equipment for quite a long time, used depending on the fishing method, and purposefully hunt for silver carp using well-thought-out strategies for this. In terms of promising methods for catching silver carp, we will not discover for the fisherman any new and unknown methods, super-technological in equipment and difficult to master.

In most cases, fishing strategies are developed for float and bottom gear, with differences in their design features from classical options, which directly depend on the way the fish feed and the bait used. Some types of hunting, such as donka with a float, are combined from a couple of fishing methods, helping to fulfill the hunting conditions and obtain stable results for each bite. We will talk about the main nuances of the configuration, installation of gear, as well as the conditions for its use in continuation of the article, considering, as an example, the most popular equipment for catching silver carp today.

Float tackle for catching silver carp on technoplankton

Fans of float gear will be interested in the method of catching silver carp using technoplankton. For these purposes, powerful match rods equipped with a spinning reel and a braided cord with a diameter of 0.15-0.18 mm and a length of about 100 meters are suitable. The installation itself consists of a float, the mass of which is taken based on the strength of the wind, the current and the weight of the capsule with the bait. Typically, for these purposes, a barrel-shaped foam plastic float weighing from 20 to 50 grams is taken with the possibility of installing it in the firefly antenna to ensure the visibility of the alarm when fishing at night.

You will also need a sliding weight in the form of a practical olive shape and a carabiner for attaching the feeder-technoplankton combination and hooks. The movement of the float and weight is limited by silicone stoppers. Hooks on monofilament leashes 7–10 cm long are equipped with foam beads to ensure their buoyancy. The essence of the gear is to deliver a capsule of technoplankton with hooks into the water column, where the silver carp is supposed to go out to feed. In this case, the bait is anchored by a sliding weight lying on the bottom. The working position of the float is lying down.

Important! When biting, the float takes a vertical position and moves in the direction of the fish that has sat on the hook. It is the movement of the float that indicates the moment the fisherman performs a control hook and begins to fish for the trophy.

The presented scheme works in shallow waters, up to 5 meters, with no or low current strength and fishing distances not exceeding 30 meters. Technoplankton can be successfully replaced by a spring feeder filled with a dusty mixture that attracts fish.

Classic dong

It’s quite easy to adapt an ordinary classic corded donkey for silver carp fishing. Bottom tackle for silver carp is assembled according to the usual method for fishing for carp fish. The main thread is about 50 meters long, usually for powerful fish it is a braided cord with a thickness of 0.3-0.4 mm; at its end, the load required for the conditions of the reservoir is directly knitted, and as a rule, the stability of the installation of the tackle is influenced by the strength of the current. Along the length of the base, at least 3–5 meters apart, a blind loop is arranged into which leashes with bait will be attached.

The length of the leash depends on the water horizon being fished and can reach one and a half meters. It is worth noting that the longer the leash and the greater the number, the more difficult it is to cast the tackle accurately and without tangling. The leash ends with a carabiner, to which the equipment of a technoplankton capsule or a spring feeder with hooks is attached. The buoyancy of the equipment is ensured by an additional float capable of holding the bait in the desired water level. After casting, the cord is pulled, tied to a peg driven into the ground on the shore and the tackle is equipped with an audible bite alarm. After the bite signal is given, the bottom tackle for silver carp is pulled with a sharp movement into the opposite direction of the fish’s escape and a struggle begins, involving fishing.

Donka with a float

Bottom fishing for silver carp is possible using a progressive method based on feeder fishing. The gear used is a heavy or super-heavy feeder, equipped with a carp spinning reel and a braided line 120–150 meters long, capable of supporting large prey. The highlight of the gear is the installation, which is called the silver carp killer among fishermen specializing in catching silver carp.

This device consists of a sinker and a special bracket to which a technoplankton tablet and leashes with hooks are attached. The installation ends with an underwater float. The tackle for catching silver carp on technoplankton is thrown to the hunting point, held in the desired position by a float and a sinker. The fish, interested in the dregs released by the tablet, approaches the rig, sucking up the tasty particles while absorbing the hooks and self-hooking onto the tackle. Having heard the bite signal, the fisherman immediately begins to catch the fish. Otherwise, the trophy will quickly pull the cord off the spool as a result of retreating to cover and permanently tangle the tackle.

Inverted donka with float

The tackle for silver carp, called an inverted bottom with a float, is identical in its configuration and assembly to the fishing equipment described above and is also intended for fishing for technoplankton. The nuance of difference is the location of the hooks in the silver carp killer rig. This technique involves installing a battery of leashes with hooks under a technoplankton tablet. With this installation method, the hooks are additionally equipped with foam beads that can lift the accessory with a leash into the area where the nutrient mixture is sprayed. Techniques for changing the position of the hooks allow the fisherman to more finely regulate the supply of baits in the water horizon, thereby finding the best solutions for stimulating the approach of the fish, and, ultimately, an effective bite.

Basic nuances of catching silver carp

Now let’s describe how to catch silver carp with the gear in question. After assembling the gear, porridge is stuffed into the spring or the product is stuffed with technoplankton. According to experts, the bait for catching silver carp can be used from a similar bait, in our case it is porridge. In addition, light foam plastic can be attached to the tip of the hook, because this element will quickly penetrate into the mouth of the fish when water is sucked in. About gear for catching silver carp is written in detail here.

To prevent the hooks from getting tangled and the mess falling out of the spring, fix the fishing rod with the float in the stand, release the reel, pick up the sinker with the float, get into the boat and sail away from the shore (within 50-100 meters). On small reservoirs, bait is brought to the middle. After this, silver carp fishing begins on technoplankton on the shore.

The author's own experience suggests that the bait should always be fresh, so it is changed every two or three hours.

Tackle for catching silver carp

Tackle for bottom fishing for silver carp

So, let's move on to the next topic, which is no less important. This is gear for bottom fishing for silver carp. In the case of this fish, the assembly of the donkey and the float is almost identical. The difference, in fact, is the presence or absence of a float. Otherwise there is simply no difference.

Pike fishing

We will need a very reliable fishing rod. Especially if there are large specimens in the pond where you are going to fish. And in the case of this fish, the dimensions are very serious, and the weight reaches thirty kilograms. The length of the fishing rod can reach three and a half meters. We don't skimp on the reel. It’s worth taking a good model that has a clutch and a baitrunner. Size from 4000 to 4500. Consider the size of the spool. It should easily accommodate up to one hundred and fifty meters of monofilament with a thickness of 0.3 mm.

The sinker can be either sliding or stationary. They attach it either to a fishing line or to a rig. As for its mass, it is selected based on the depth at the fishing spot and how far the cast will need to be cast. On average, it starts from thirty grams and can easily reach one hundred. When choosing a hook, proceed from the size of the fish you plan to catch. Usually numbers from 6 to 8 are used. In the bottom version of the rig, foam balls are put on the hooks so that they (the hooks) do not sink to the bottom. Next we need to attach the silver carp stick to the main line. It is attached with a central eyelet. And the other two are used for tying leashes. Then we place the barrel of technoplankton on the pin and fix it. You can even attach another leash here.
