Carp are vigorous, extremely fast-growing, and are not picky about their food, even eating humus buried in the sediment. It is also because of this characteristic that some countries that do not have carp have been introduced to clean up the river. As a result, carp populations began to overflow and became a harmful invasive species. The reason is actually very simple, these countries prefer to eat marine fish and do not like to eat carp with many spines. However, the carp is large and powerful, and has gradually become a fish species that foreign fishing enthusiasts like to fish, and because there are no natural predators and people do not eat it, they are very large.
As the carp population became abundant, it began to appear in countless rivers in Europe, and slowly the European method of carp fishing appeared. This method of fishing is very interesting, and the characteristic is that it is off the bottom. The line set is roughly like this, a hook is a short line, and then a suitable size sinker, because it is fishing off the bottom, the size of the sinker needs to match the buoyancy of the bait, otherwise the hook will "take off". The bait is very interesting, using beads made of soft foam, which is very similar to bead fishing. But the beads are not worn on the hook, but are fixed on the back of the hook. Some of the floating beads are also detached from the hook and are slightly above the hook after the end.
The beads are almost all yellow and orange tones, this is because European carp fishing is very fond of using corn kernels to make a nest, which will make the bait less conspicuous, this is worth the color is not so conspicuous, but the carp can still find the bait faster, this is because the nest material is at the bottom of the water, the bait is slightly off the bottom, so it is easier for carp to find the bait after entering the nest. This method of fishing is done with a rod with wheels, because it is very difficult to catch such a large carp with a hand rod, but it is much easier to walk the fish with wheels. In addition, large carp prefer to move in a more distant position, so the hand rod is not up to the task.
So the collocation of the whole fishing group is roughly like this, a suitable casting rod, there is a suitable size of the lead sinker on the main line to be fixed, used for long-distance casting, and then connected to the European-style line group, the matching of the fishing group can be seen to be very simple, is a typical single-hook long-distance casting fishing method. Because the hook is off the bottom after it is in place, from this point of view, you can only use the long-throw fishing method, because the main line will be too close to the hook in the hand rod fishing method, which will have a greater impact on the carp's feeding. If you cast the rod and cast it far, part of the main line is lying on the bottom of the water, so that it will not become entangled with the floating hook.
One of the more ingenious ways to fish for carp in Europe is this small line set, which uses floating lures. When we fish for carp, we usually emphasize that the carp eats close to the ground, and we should be blunt when adjusting the drift, so as to ensure that the line lies on the bottom or is loose to prevent the phenomenon of blocking the mouth. Also, both baits should lie on the bottom of the water, otherwise it will be more difficult for the carp to eat. However, we all know that carp like to dig through the mud and sand in the soft bottom area in search of food, so they prefer to build a nest in the soft bottom area for fishing. In this area, it is easier for the nest and bait to sink into the silt, so it is not easy for carp to find the bait. Therefore, this European-style carp fishing method actually has a lot of desirable points.
But whether or not we use it for wild fishing is another matter. Anyone who fishes knows that wild fishing relies on resources. If the resources are good, any fishing method is actually effective, and if the resources are poor, the fishing method is especially important. People are flooded with carp, and carp grows to more than 30 catties at every turn. Please pay attention to the collection and like, update on time every day, thank you fishing friends!
