Carp: how to catch with a “nipple”?


Carp – domesticated form of carp. It is found in fresh rivers, reservoirs, lakes, and other bodies of water with standing or slightly flowing water. Mirror carp is a variety of this fish with very large scales, which in some places are completely absent, the most desired trophy of every carp fisherman.

Catching a large carp is not so easy. To do this, you should study the habits and behavioral characteristics of this fish, stock up on the necessary bait and patience, which will be needed for a successful hunt for such a cautious representative of the ichthyofauna as carp.

Large carp, sometimes reaching a weight of 15 kg, and due to its mass and strength can break even a very strong fishing rod. Therefore, before you go hunting for this giant, you should properly prepare your gear and bait.

Habitats

If it is reliably known that carp lives in a given reservoir, then you should look for it in snags. In such areas of the reservoir it can be very difficult to choose a place for fishing, and hooks getting caught on snags happen regularly. But you shouldn’t move to a clean place just because the river or lake is cluttered.

The use of equipment with a sliding sinker and an offset hook will reduce the number of hooks to a minimum, and effective bites will certainly follow if this “goldfish” is offered a decent meal.

One of the very effective ways of fishing for this fish is to catch carp using a “nipple”.

What is a “nipple”?


This tackle is used for catching very large carp.
The “nipple” consists of a spring into which the bait is pressed, and hooks that are hidden inside the bait. The carp, which is attracted by this bait, comes up and begins to suck on the bait filler, as a result of which the hook occurs. An original version of this tackle is obtained if a plastic bottle cap is used as the base for the “pacifier”. In order to place small but sharp hooks inside the lid, several holes are made in the cork so that leashes with hooks can be placed inside the cork.

The hooks are camouflaged in the bait, which is located inside the lid, and when eating from this “plate”, the fish hooks itself.

When installing such gear yourself, be sure to weight the bottom of the plug so that it does not drift away with the current.

In the store, the “pacifier” is inexpensive, so you don’t have to invent a “bicycle”, but buy ready-made gear.

Catching crucian carp on a nipple

Catching crucian carp on a nipple is a traditional way of fishing in many regions of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. The availability and effectiveness of gear equalizes the chances of all categories of anglers to catch crucian carp.

To fish for crucian carp, you will need a regular fiberglass telescopic rod with a length of 2.1-2.7 m. The test rod should be at least 40 g.

It is best to purchase a spinning reel with a size of 2500-3500. It is enough to wind 50 m of monofilament fishing line with a diameter of 0.2-0.25 mm on the spool.

The leashes are made from pieces of braid 10-20 cm long with a breaking force of 2 kg.

Hooks are used depending on the bait in the range of No. 6-10.

The pacifier is a feeder weighing 20-50 g. It can be made of wire in the form of a spring, in the form of a concave lead or brass plate, or from the cork of a plastic bottle.

An ordinary bell or an electronic device becomes a bite alarm.

There are two main types of equipment:

The sliding version of the equipment is used when using a spring as a feeder. A loop is made on a piece of fishing line 70-80 cm long. Then a silicone stopper-shock absorber and a spring equipped with a PVC tube inside are mounted. A swivel with a clasp is attached to the end of the rig. Now all that remains is to attach the leash with the hook in a loop-to-loop manner, and attach the equipment to the main fishing line using a carabiner.

Blind equipment is made as follows. Leads (3-5 pieces) are attached to the spring, plate or plug. The feeder is mounted on the main line thanks to a large loop on the main line. Viscous bait is stuffed into the nipple, into which the hooks are hidden.

An important aspect of nipple fishing is bait. You can pick up the required composition at a fishing store, but it’s easier to prepare the bait yourself.

Here is one of the recipes for the popular pacifier bait.

  1. You will need food-grade shelled peas, which are boiled for 3-4 hours to a jelly state.
  2. After this, semolina is added to it in small portions with constant stirring.
  3. When the spoon begins to bend due to the thickness of the bait, take the mixture in your hands and knead it.
  4. If the moisture content of the mixture is high, you need to add breadcrumbs.
  5. Hemp seeds, dill and cinnamon are suitable as flavoring agents.
  6. To speed up the cooking process, you can first grind the peas in a coffee grinder.

Baits and baits

Among the variety of attachments and baits, it is quite difficult to predict which one the crucian carp will prefer on the next fishing trip. If yesterday he pecked at a worm and maggot, then tomorrow he may prefer pearl barley or dough. Therefore, the fisherman must stock up on a rich arsenal of baits.

Must be present:

  • worm;
  • maggot;
  • bloodworm;
  • pearl barley;
  • dough;
  • corn;
  • foam ball.

Before throwing the equipped equipment into the water, you should choose a promising fishing spot. To study the bottom, you can use a marker float, an echo sounder, or use a stepped spinning rod. If a difference in depth, edge, hole boundary, or coastal thickets is detected, the same distance should be set on the fishing rod with a nipple.

Now you need to fill the nipple with bait, compact it and insert the hooks with bait into the bait mass. After casting the rig, the food will slowly wash out, attracting crucian carp.

Having discovered food, the fish will suck the bait with its mouth along with the bait and hook. Usually, when fishing on a nipple, crucian carp are caught spontaneously. The bite alarm will immediately notify you when a fish bites. The fisherman will have to calmly carry out the landing.

Catching carp with a spring and nipple is a similar fishing technique.

The nipple for catching crucian carp remains one of the most popular gear. This is explained by the low cost of the gear and its high catchability. If the bait turns out to be tasty, then bites occur within a few minutes after casting the tackle.

Making a “nipple” for carp with your own hands

If a fisherman decides to test himself in the skill of independently making gear for carp fishing, then this work should begin after all the necessary materials and tools have been prepared.

For the “pacifier” you may need:

  1. Cork from a plastic bottle.
  2. A flat lead sinker with an eye, weighing 10 g.
  3. Drill and metal drill bit with a diameter of 2 mm.
  4. Hooks number 6-8 and braided line with a diameter of 0.15 mm.
  5. Self-tapping screw for metal, with a wide head, 3 mm in diameter and up to 15 mm in length.

Installation process:

  1. The plastic plug is installed on a flat sinker so that the center of the plug is aligned with the center of the sinker.
  2. Using a 2 mm drill, a through hole is made exactly in the center of the plug and sinker.
  3. A self-tapping screw is screwed into the hole on the side of the plug.
  4. Along the side circumference of the cork, 4 holes with a diameter of 2 mm are drilled, equidistant from each other, into which leashes 5-6 cm long are inserted, so that the hooks are inside the cork. The free ends of the leashes are tied to the eye of the sinker. The tackle is ready!

When installing a “nipple”, if the length of the screw is greater than the total thickness of the bottom of the plug and the sinker, the part of the screw coming out of the sinker should be sawed off.

Hooks should be equipped with foam balls so that the fish, when sucking the bait, do not feel the prick from the sharp sting of the hook.

“Nipple” from a spoon


You can make this tackle from a tablespoon.
The advantage of this design is that the “nipple” does not need to be additionally equipped with a sinker; the metal of the spoon copes well with the function of weighing the bait. To make such gear you will need the following materials and tools:

  1. Stainless steel tablespoon.
  2. Copper wire with a diameter of 2 mm.
  3. Hooks numbers 6-8 and braided fishing line with a diameter of 0.15 mm.
  4. Drill and drill bit for metal with a diameter of 2 and 4 mm.
  5. Hacksaw for metal.
  6. File.

Using a hacksaw for metal, the handle of the spoon is sawed off at the point where it attaches to the scooping part of this cutlery. The place where the metal was separated should therefore be carefully processed with a file so that there are no sharp edges that could damage the fishing line.

At the sawing site, moving 2-3 mm from the edge, it is necessary to drill a hole with a diameter of 2 mm to attach the fishing line to this tackle. The hole must be chamfered on both sides using a larger diameter drill.

Two-millimeter holes should be drilled on each side of the spoon in the amount of 4 pieces, 2 holes on each side. When drilling these holes, you should also step back slightly from the edge.

2 pieces 4-5 cm long are separated from the copper wire. Each piece is bent in an arc and installed in opposite holes of the spoon and fixed in the hole by crimping the metal on both sides.

Leashes, in the amount of 4 pieces, with hooks are tied to the main hole for attaching the main fishing line, and are placed inside the tackle after the bait is placed inside this structure.

“Nipple” made from a spring

You can make a spring for the tackle yourself.
Copper wire with a diameter of 3 mm is successfully used for this purpose. The wire is wound onto a tube or rod with a diameter of 15-20 mm. The number of turns and the step between them are selected individually, but too large a distance between turns is undesirable due to unsatisfactory retention of the bait in such gear.

The fastening of the “nipple” of this design is blind; the main line is tied directly to the coils of such a spring. Leashes with hooks are also attached to the spring.

Recipes for making porridge for pacifiers

The success of carp fishing with this tackle depends on the quality of the bait used.

You can prepare bait at home; several highly effective recipes for preparing carp bait are suitable for this fishing method.

Semolina

Cook the semolina porridge in enough water over low heat for 10 minutes. Then unrefined vegetable oil is added to the porridge.

After the porridge has cooled, it can be used for its intended purpose.

Barley porridge

Barley porridge is cooked in the same way as semolina, but the cooking time should be increased to 20 minutes.

Mastyrka



To prepare mastyrka you will need:

  • Peas.
  • Semolina.
  • Unrefined vegetable oil.

The bait is prepared in the following sequence:

  • Peas are soaked in water for several hours.
  • Then cook for 1 hour in an enamel bowl.
  • After the peas are completely cooked, add semolina and cook the mixture over low heat for another 10 minutes.
  • After the mastyrka is prepared, vegetable oil is added to the porridge.

This bait can be flavored not only with sunflower oil, but also with various products and attractants that can interest even passive carp.

Among these products, the following can be particularly highlighted:

  • honey,
  • canned corn juice,
  • vanilla,
  • garlic.

In cold water, artificial attractants with animal odors such as shrimp, crab or maggot will work better.

Cereals

This bait option is used when there is no time to prepare more complex bait compositions.

Oatmeal is poured with boiling water and left for 15-20 minutes. After which you can use this bait for its intended purpose.

Hominy

To prepare this bait you will need cornmeal. The porridge should be cooked in a container with thick walls, since burnt bait will be completely uninteresting to such a gourmet as carp.

Sequencing:

  • Water is poured into the pan and placed on fire.
  • After the water boils, add corn flour, stirring continuously.
  • Then the porridge is cooked for 20 minutes over very low heat. You can use hominy either in its natural form or with flavorings.

Beans

This nozzle is prepared in the following sequence:

  • The beans are cooked for 1.5 hours in an enamel bowl.
  • Then wheat grits are added to the pan and cooked for another 15 minutes.
  • To prepare this bait, products are taken in the ratio: beans - 5 parts by weight, wheat grits - 1 part.
  • After the prepared mixture has cooled, it can be used for its intended purpose.

Step-by-step instructions for creating a spinner from a spoon

The procedure is as follows:

  1. We take a file and mark the location of the cut on the device.
  2. Using a hacksaw, carefully cut off the round part of the spoon from the handle.
  3. We remove burrs and roughness with a file and sandpaper. We put the handle aside for now.
  4. We clamp the workpiece in a vice. Using an electric drill, we make holes so that the winding rings can pass through them freely.
  5. We connect the latter with the material. Then we fix the swivel in the hole with wire. We attach the tee.

It is important to note that you can make a working lure from a spoon for a pike with your own hands only if the size of the hook matches the dimensions of the bait, and the winding rings do not interfere with the free oscillation of the product in the water.

If desired, you can create a bait of various widths and lengths by grinding the workpiece to the desired size.

But before testing the author’s masterpieces on a large body of water, it is recommended to test them at home. To do this, you can throw them into a bathtub or other container with water. Look at the game, the serviceability of the parts. If you need to bend the edges of the bait on the sides, poles. Only when the spinner shows itself to be working can you safely go in search of a big trophy.

Techniques and tactics of catching carp on a “nipple”

Before you start catching carp on the “nipple”, you should choose the right place for this type of fishing. This gear is not a sporting one, due to the fact that the fish hooks itself, so you can effectively control several fishing rods that are cast in different directions.

Prospective casting of the “nipple” can be carried out where there are places bordering on aquatic vegetation or a snagged area of ​​the reservoir.

The bait is pressed tightly into the tackle, while the hooks must be completely camouflaged inside.

In order for the carp to become interested in exactly the area of ​​the bait where the hook is hidden, peculiar bulges should be formed.

When a large carp approaches such a “nipple” and starts sucking it, the fish is hooked by a hook hidden in the thickness of the bait.

Tips and tricks

  1. Catching carp with a “nipple” is reminiscent of feeder fishing, so a feeder rod, reel and fishing line are used to mount the gear.
    The quality of all components of this tackle must be very high; large carp test the strength of the tackle very harshly in the first minutes after hooking.
  2. Carp is a very cautious fish, so when choosing a place for fishing, you should avoid all kinds of resting and swimming areas. Carp can be caught well only if the fisherman maintains complete silence, and the only natural sounds above the pond are the singing of birds and the rustling of the wind in the branches of trees.
  3. You can catch carp quite effectively with this type of gear at night. In this case, a bell is used to signal bites.
  4. You can string corn onto a hook that is hidden in the bait layer; in this case, hooking will follow even if the hook is washed out by the current and is located in close proximity to the feeder.
  5. Usually, hooking a fish when using a “nipple” occurs independently , but you should not delay in landing the fish. The hook can get caught on the fish’s lip, and with a strong jerk, the carp can free itself from the tackle, so with pronounced movements of the fishing line, which signal that it is hooked there is a fish, you should immediately land the fish, being careful, and when there is a large carp on the hook, you must use a landing net.
  6. run out of bait while fishing for carp with this bottom tackle , then you can use white bread with great success. The bread crumb can be flavored, which will further attract carp to the feeder.
  7. One of the promising places for carp fishing is areas of a reservoir with tree branches hanging low over the water.
  8. This fish loves to feed in such places on insects falling from trees, and if you cast a “nipple” in this place, you can catch very worthy representatives of this breed of fish. In such places it is necessary to make very precise casts so as not to miss and throw the tackle onto a tree. In this case, getting the tackle undamaged will be very difficult.
  9. The good thing about carp fishing is that even a beginner can catch a trophy carp even if he has absolutely no experience in this type of fishing. Therefore, at the preparation stage, it is only important to weld the bait correctly, throw the tackle into the most promising place for carp fishing, and wait for bites from large and small fish.
