As frustrating as it might be, carp fishing is tremendous. Carp are especially good at sucking in and blowing out dubious baits. It’s such an exciting moment to see the whole action in a fraction of a second as you wait with baited breath to see if the fish will accept the bait

Carp gladly feed on the surface of the water as long as you keep the pellets, biscuits, chic peas, bread, and re-hydrated corn coming and these are low-cost baits as well. Just attach the bait to the hooks: I think bread works the best. First soften the biscuits by dipping them in the water for about 2 minutes, then, put them in a sealed, plastic sandwich bag for about an hour. Seeing as different makes have dissimilar textures, you will just have to carry out trials to discover which sort is stiff enough to cast. An additional way to hook bait is by super gluing the pellet onto the shank of the hook.

Once they get into feeding, let them feel at ease around the bait. This gives more prospects for the angler because they will become less choosy. This tactic can be particularly useful for zig rigs.

Once they’re feeding, cast the bait but make sure not to cast the bait directly onto the feeding carp. Cast away from the feeding spot then slowly draw the bait into position. While the bait is still hanging, keep the food coming in so as to deter the carp from leaving.

How to Set-Up Your Rig?

1 Use a hair rig to increase your chance of catching fish. Since carp taste their food first, they won’t feed if they don?t like the taste. 2 You may also use a Spider Line, 50 lbs breaking strain, then use a leader that suits the situation. ? Thread the bait on the baiting needle and hook the hair loop. You might also use foam rubber dipped in a flavor in order to enhance the attractiveness of the bait. 3 You could also make a baiting needle by just straightening a long shank hook. Then slide the bait on the shank, and then slip the bait from the needle onto the hair. 4 Using a float is also an help because it adds weight in order to be able to cast farther, you will also be able to see where the bait is. 5 Don’t forget the controller float rig. A leader can be attached to the swivel on the mainline. It ought to be at least 3 feet in length with a 10lbs Drennan double strength. A low diameter mono will do, just so long as it floats well enough to be seen.

As experts say, it is not the bait that catches carp but the way in which the bait is introduced. Pre-bait everyday, in one spot for a few days. This encourages the carp to think that there is a repeated source of food for them and by ?word of mouth? there?ll soon be a shoal of fish around. Just be patient and it will all work out just dandy.
