Feeding grass carp
If this is not done, then counting on the capture of this fish, regardless of which nozzle is used, does not make sense at all. Even if it is a reed. If a bite does occur, then this is more an accident and you should not count on subsequent bites. The efficiency of fishing without bait can be no more than 10%, and with bait it can be increased up to 100%. If tackle is left overnight to be tested in the morning, then groundbait is simply not necessary.
White carp eat regularly and a lot. During the day, he eats as much food as he weighs. With a weight of 5 kg, he can eat 5 kg of feed. Although grass carp, having a similar weight, is not considered a large specimen. He barely pulls on the middle peasant. Even in conditions of small water bodies, grass carp grows easily and reaches a weight of 10 kg or more. Therefore, the issue of bait should always come first.
White carp is picky, which means that you can use any cereal, be it millet, pea, pearl barley, various bran, etc. Alternatively, you can purchase ready-made purchased mixtures, but this will cost a pretty penny, since a lot of bait will be required. In order for the fish to constantly spin near the chosen place, you need to thoroughly feed it. At the same time, it is advisable to regularly supplement this place, otherwise the cupid will swim away in search of more attractive places.
At the same time, you should not complicate everything, but just buy a bucket of compound feed and add boiled potatoes. In any case, it will be cheaper, and the result will not keep you waiting and will please you with the capture of a trophy specimen.

After that, the two halves of the sheet are folded together and torn into identical pieces, 2-3 cm long. The pieces are folded into a pile of a certain height. The height of the stack is determined by the size of the hair tool. As a result, a nozzle is obtained, which will definitely interest grass carp.
Then the entire stack is pierced with an awl, after which it is placed on the hair and stopped with a stopper. In such a snap, the hook always remains free. The hair accessory is ready for use. In order for the bait to be in the water column, a foam ball of the required size is put on the hair in front of the reeds. You can not a ball, but a square with sides of 2×2 cm. It is very important to determine the height of the stack of reeds. To do this, you need to make several experimental casts, with different hair lengths. Grass carp, like any other fish, can change its preferences and peck at baits of various lengths.
