Depending on the season and the type of reservoir, different tackle is used for catching crucian carp. It can be a simple fishing rod, or a fishing rod with a reel for long casting and a sliding leash. Some prefer a traditional donka, others prefer a feeder with a feeder, etc.
In the spring months, in the pre-spawning and post-spawning periods, when this fish comes very close to the shore starting to overgrow with grass, such tackle is used for catching crucian carp as an ordinary fly fishing rod. At such a time, this fish is relatively not picky, so the catch can be very large and without complicated tricks.
It is best to use a
telescopic rod with an average length of five meters, while not very heavy so that it can be easily controlled. The
crucian’s fishing tackle must meet one but important requirement: it must be very sensitive so that the float reacts even to a slight touch on the nozzle.
In general, the reservoirs where this fish lives can be divided into two types. In the first, only crucian carp is found, and in the second, it gets along well with other inhabitants. In the latter, not being a full owner, he is caught occasionally. Therefore, in ponds of this type,
float tackle for catching crucian carp will bring more success only if a path is found along which the subject of fishing constantly moves.
In this case, you need to take a light float of an elongated shape and a thin, 0.12-0.14 millimeter fishing line. We must not forget about the hooks, using only those that have a round puddle and a short forearm. Since crucian carp do not have the habit of deeply swallowing a hook, and it is easier to plant maggot or bread pellet on such a hook, the main requirement for it is quality and tenacity. In addition, some anglers catch two heads at once, although in this case the opinions of professionals differ.
Sometimes in the heat in large reservoirs fish flocks, although they are active, do not swim close to the shoreline. In this case, tackle for catching crucian carp helps in the summer, designed for long casting. It is a three- or four-meter rod with an inertia-free reel and flow rings. The only prerequisite is the presence of a ten-gram float for the convenience and accuracy of casting.
However, the so-called "running gear" for catching crucian carp, along with the possibility of fishing large depths and remote areas, has a drawback. Often the angler fails to respond quickly to the bite, and the fish slides off the hook.
During the spawning course, such a tackle is used for catching crucian carp as a feeder, which is a fishing rod with a flexible sensitive tip, as well as through rings, a reel and a feeder, which is clogged with a flavored lure that lures the fish to the hook attachment. At significant distances from the fisherman, in this case, even a large and very cautious individual bites. Feeders catch pits in the middle of a reservoir, the edges of reeds on the opposite bank, etc. It is also applicable on rivers with not very strong currents. The strength of this tackle is calculated in such a way that without fear it would be possible to fish out not only crucian carp, but also other fish, which can also sail to lure.
