How to catch crucian carp with a float rod? Tackle, bait and bait

One of the best ways to catch crucian carp, both among experienced anglers and beginners in this business, is fishing with a float rod.

This is no coincidence, since the correctly selected tackle, as well as the observance of all recommendations regarding bait, bait, fishing technique and other things, allow you to bring a large catch absolutely at any time of the year.

The main advantages of catching crucian carp with a float rod are:

  1. Convenience and ease of use.
  2. The ability to fish out in virtually all weather conditions. Note: the exception is a very strong wind, blizzard and hail.
  3. Not in design various additional parts and elements.
  4. Suitable for experienced fishermen and beginners.
  5. Fishing is allowed on all reservoirs.
  6. Can be used any bait, even the smallest.
  7. Relatively budget option(especially in comparison with other modern models).

An important point: such a tackle is versatile and time-tested.

Crucian carp is an unpretentious individual and can be found in almost every body of water, however, in order to observe excellent biting, you should know the basic nuances that allow you to find it faster.

In the spring and summer months, it can be found:

  1. Closer to the surface of the water(or in the middle layer).
  2. Where is the greatest amount of feed for him, for example, in vegetation.
  3. In thickets and reeds. A larger species should be looked for closer to the bottom; this rule also applies for the height of summer.
  4. In places where the springs are located (this is only suitable for hot days).

In the fall and winter months, it is best to look for:

  1. In places of minimal current.
  2. Where there is food for him.
  3. In deep pits.

If you find such a hole in winter, then in the future it is more expedient to come here, since in cold weather it is extremely passive.

In addition to its habitat, you need to take into account the fishing time. It was noted that biting significantly differs in different time intervals.

In spring and summer:

  1. The ideal time is early morning, after about 6 o'clock.
  2. It fishes well after 8 pm and before sunset. Often, in the summer, it was possible to pull out a large individual at night.

In autumn and winter:

  1. The best time is during the day, and after 11 o'clock.
  2. In the evening from 18 to 20.

Important tip: in case of strong gusts of wind, it is better to give up fishing, and there is also a low probability of biting at the time of a sharp temperature drop.

Tackle

float rod rig

To catch crucian carp, it is better to use a float rod that meets certain requirements:

  1. The length is 4 to 5 meters.
  2. Does not contain a coil. It is noted that many anglers do not see the need to catch crucian carp on a rod with a reel.
  3. Strong enough.
  4. Convenient to use even under difficult fishing conditions.

The equipment should be as follows:

  1. Float- better long and medium size. Advice: for fishing at night, it is allowed to purchase floats with a luminous end so as to reliably not miss a bite.
  2. Lead pellets.
  3. Small diameter fishing line, maximally elastic and at the same time durable. You also need it to be of the right color, to blend perfectly with the reservoir.
  4. Line Leash- the optimal length is about 30 centimeters. The main requirement- so that the leash is 10–20% thinner than the line itself.
  5. Hook- numbers from 3 to 5 are considered the best size.

The correct installation of the float rod plays an important role in the fishing process.

Main steps:

  1. The fishing line is attached to the rod. A small loop is made on the line, with the help of which it is put on the rod mount. The fishing line should be equal in length to the fishing rod or exceed it by one and a half times.
  2. A float is attached to the fishing line. To do this, you need to fix the cambric on it, and then insert the lower part of the float.
  3. Lead pellets are attached. Correct fastening is when only the upper edge of the float is visible above the water. It is better to use small-sized pliers to secure them.
  4. The leash is tied. It is better to knit it to the fishing line using the "figure eight" knot. The length of the leash should be 15 centimeters, so it is recommended to take initially 25 cm.
  5. A hook is tied to the fishing line.

Bait for crucian carp

It is better to use the following components for this:

  • garlic, this is the most important ingredient, and the crucians love it very much.
  • wheat;
  • Hercules;
  • semolina;
  • chopped worms, especially earth and dung worms;
  • Dill;
  • parsley and stuff;

Top tips for making groundbait:

  1. It should be as natural as possible.
  2. Minimum nutritional components(so as not to overfeed the fish).
  3. From overseas ingredients and harsh spices it is worth giving up completely.
  4. Be extremely careful with the addition of artificial flavors.

It is better to feed a little bit, otherwise the crucian may not bite at all.

flavorings

When choosing a flavoring agent for bait, it is worth considering a number of points:

  1. It should be without a pungent smell.
  2. Ideally use natural for example sunflower oil. Interesting fact: it was noted that a good bite is observed when the aroma of rye bread is present.
  3. The main thing- do not overdo it, otherwise you can scare the fish.

Depending on the season, you need to use certain baits:

  1. In the spring give preference to steamed peas, semolina and rolled oats.
  2. Summer- wheat, sunflower seeds and greens.
  3. In autumn and winter be sure to add chopped worms or maggots.

In addition, depending on the reservoir, a special bait is also used:

  1. Features of bait on lakes and ponds:
    • Do not cook the porridge to the end.
    • Use sunflower oil (just a few drops).
    • Be sure to add steamed wheat or peas. If the crucian carp ignored the bait, then it is recommended to replace the composition of the ingredients with another one.
    • Feeding is allowed every hour.
  2. Features of river fish bait:
    • Add more garlic.
    • It is better to use semolina or wheat as a basis.
    • Give the lure no more than once every two hours, and in small portions.

An important tip: in each region, it is noted that such fish have their own predilections, so it is better to experiment.

Bait

For crucian carp, baits of plant and animal species are equally suitable.

Ideal plant baits are:

  • bread, white crumb is better, in many reservoirs it is better to bite on a black crump;
  • wheat;
  • dough;
  • peas;
  • Hercules;
  • corn;
  • pasta, more suitable from durum wheat and medium size, they should be cooked until half cooked so that they are not soft;

The best lures of the animal species are:

  • worms, for example, earthworms, dung, earthworms and others;
  • maggots;
  • bloodworms;
  • beetles, especially May beetles;
  • gadflies;
  • caddisflies;
  • grasshoppers;
  • horseflies;
  • leeches, but only small;
  • various slugs and stuff;

An important point: carp bites on worms, as a rule, very well under any conditions.

It is more advisable to look for any bait near the reservoir or prepare it immediately before fishing.

In addition, crucian carp can bite on artificial baits. You can buy them in a store or make them yourself, for example, cut a small rectangle out of foam rubber and paint them black (imitation of a worm).

At each time of the year, certain baits are preferable for crucian carp.

In the spring months, it is great to use:

  • dung worms, however, can be fruitfully fished out for other species;
  • bloodworms;
  • beetles;
  • dough;
  • White bread;
  • caddisflies, but exclusively in May;
  • maggots, on them in many regions the maximum biting is observed in spring;

Summer:

  • crumb or crumb of bread;
  • peas;
  • steamed wheat;
  • worms (any);
  • bloodworms;
  • caddisflies (only in June);
  • beetles, experienced beetle fishermen at the beginning of summer fish out weighty crucians;
  • leeches, on them the best biting is traced in July and early August;
  • slugs
  • gadflies;

An interesting point: often, in hot seasons, crucian carp bites more on plant matter than on animals.

In autumn:

  • worms;
  • bloodworms;
  • corn, including canned corn;
  • wheat (but less often);

During the winter months it is worth trying:

  • bloodworms - are considered the best bait for this time of year, if you have difficulty finding it, you can buy it in a specialized store.
  • worms, mainly dung;
  • canned peas;

Depending on the body of water, it is also better to adhere to the basic rules regarding the choice of baits:

  1. On lakes and ponds, give preference to:
    • plant components, especially peas, white bread and wheat;
    • a slug, and look for it exclusively near a reservoir;
    • any worms, however, are better than earth or dung;
  1. On rivers with strong currents, it is worth stopping the choice:
    • mainly on animal baits, ideal is worms or maggots;
    • gadflies, but suitable only on hot days;
    • leeches - ideal for morning fishing;
    • grasshoppers, only for fishing in the evening;
  1. On rivers with weak currents:
    • semi-finished pasta;
    • any worms;
    • bloodworms;
    • beetles;
    • maggots;

Fishing technique

After the angler has decided on the place, it is required to make groundbait. After about half an hour, you should make the first cast.

Note: Each angler has different preferences for how to cast, but the most preferred method is over the right shoulder.

When biting, you need:

  1. Take a close look at the float(make sure that the fluctuations are not caused by the current).
  2. Wait when the float is tilted to the side. Crucian carp almost always bite rather quietly.
  3. At the moment of full deceleration of the float make a sweep.

Main requirements for jogging:

  1. It is imperative to produce it at the time when the float stopped and lay down on the water horizontally.
  2. Do it sharply enough. If this moment is missed, then the risk that the fish will spit out the bait is extremely high.

When playing crucians, there are rarely difficulties, usually there is no particular resistance on their part.

Basic rules for playing:

  1. Do it exclusively while standing.
  2. As fast as possible oh, so as not to break, but at the same time not abruptly.

Features of fishing with a float rod

In the spring

When choosing bait at this time of the year, you need to remember the main points:

  5. On many bodies of water bites the dough better.
  6. Universal option- earthworm.

In the summer, the features of the choice of gear are:

  1. Ideal rod length- 4 meters.
  2. During installation use the smallest line diameter (possible).
  3. The best crochet considered number 3.

When catching crucian carp at the time of the bite, you should take a short pause (about 5 seconds) and only then start hooking.

In autumn

For bait in the autumn months, certain rules must be followed:

  1. Include worms in the composition(they must first be cut into small pieces).
  2. Add garlic, an artificial flavor with this scent will do.
  3. The perfect foundation- steamed millet or peas.

The features of the tackle in the fall are:

  1. Rod length should be at least 5 meters (but preferably no more than 7).
  2. Usage the most durable fishing line, leashes and other things.
  3. More expedient during installation attach several hooks (and accordingly there will be more than one bait).

In autumn, the main feature of fishing is that crucian carp has the greatest resistance (in comparison with other periods), therefore, it is required to hook and fish out as quickly as possible.

In winter

When choosing groundbait in winter, certain tips must be followed:

  1. Add sunflower oil.
  2. Put as many worms as possible (if you cannot find them, then purchase the appropriate flavoring).
  3. Better to use canned corn and peas.

When choosing a bait in winter, you need to consider the main features:

  1. For plant components weaker biting is observed in comparison with animals.
  2. Worms fit well and bloodworms.
  3. Artificial baits can be used e.g. silicone bloodworm.

The main features of the tackle in winter are:

  1. Optimal length fishing rods 3 meters.
  2. Apply the most durable rod.
  3. During installation focus on the thickest line.

In the winter season, after biting the crucian carp, it is recommended to make a rather sharp hooking and very quickly play the fish.

  1. Not worth it constantly look for new habitats, it is better to find one and fish there.
  2. To acquire float rods from trusted manufacturers.
  3. Tackle must be comfortable.
  4. Do not save on tackle and rigging to it.
  5. Groundbait and bait search only near a body of water.
