Do-it-yourself carp gear, mounting gear on karma

Gear for carp is a very serious and crucial moment, since their nature depends on the specifics of carp nutrition. Fishing for carp is not a little expensive, but vice versa. But if there is a desire and knowledge of the behavior of this fish, then the gear can really be made independently.

Do-it-yourself carp tackle

Unfortunately, not all gear can be made by yourself, although it is theoretically possible, but then you should not count on effective fishing. As for part of the gear, or rather its individual elements, this is doable. What you can do yourself:

• feeder for carp fishing;
• method equipment;
• feeder equipment;
• Inline feeder for method equipment;
• hair rig.

Feeder for carp fishing

As a rule, the feeder is a consumable item, since hooks occur quite often. Therefore, for one fishing trip, you can leave several pieces in the pond. Sometimes they are lost by the dozen.

To make your own feeder you need:

• prepare material for manufacturing;
• have a soldering iron with a power of about 50 W;
• have scissors for metal;
• stock up on wire cutters or pliers;
• have an awl;
• have a form for casting cargo from lead;
• purchase lead-tin solder;
• have a drill with a diameter of 5 mm.

To begin with, a load should be cast from lead, with dimensions of 1,5×8 cm and a thickness of 3 mm. If the feeder is constructed from a construction metal mesh, a feeder is formed from it and placed in a mold, after which it is filled with lead. In this case, the length of the form should be no more than 5 cm.

How to assemble a feeder from the available elements:

1. The body of the curler or the plastic bottle is cut off so that their size is 5 cm. If the feeder is made from a plastic bottle, then it should be cut into fragments 12×5 cm in size.
2. The load is attached to the feeder from the outside by bending the ends of the lead load into the feeder.
3. The edges of the load must be pressed with pliers, securely securing the entire structure.
4. With the help of an awl, a through hole is made in the lead weight to install the winding ring.
5. A winding ring is installed in the hole, to which the swivel is attached.
6. If there are no holes in the body of the feeder, then they must be drilled using a drill with a diameter of 5 mm.

If a metal building mesh is used, then it can not be melted into the lead load, but fixed with a soldering iron and solder. Naturally, such a manufacturing technology does not make the feeder reliable. Although, if you look from the other side, then it will be enough until the first hook.

Elements of carp gear

If everything is clear for experienced anglers, then for inexperienced carp anglers, mounting carp tackle is not an easy task. To avoid any special problems, you need to know what is included in carp equipment. The main components should include:

• shock leader;
• loads of various shapes with fastening details;
• safety clip;
• material for leashes;
• rubber stops for boilies and for fishing line;
• anti-twist;
• swivels;
• soft lead;
• heat resistant tube;
• rubber cord;
• silicone tube;
• ribbons, threads and bags made of PVA;
• glue;
• awl and special needles;
• fishing line.

Mounting gear depending on the feeding habits of carp

The installation of tackle is formed on the basis of the behavior of fish in a single reservoir. Carp is able to feed both from the bottom and in the water column, including from the surface, depending on weather conditions or time of day. The carp angler needs to know when and under what conditions the carp chooses the appropriate feeding method. Therefore, the installation option must correspond to the nature of the reservoir, season, time of day, etc.

If you choose an inappropriate installation, then it is unrealistic to count on catching carp. In addition, carp fishing is fishing, designed for more than one day. Before you start fishing, you need to familiarize yourself with the bottom topography in order to determine promising places and only then proceed to feeding a section of the water area.

Standard option

After the fish finds the bait and takes it in its mouth, it tries to move away. At this moment, the leash is pulled. Due to the fact that the sinker has a significant weight, the carp self-cuts and the hook sticks into its lip. This is the most common mounting option when fishing from the bottom. Under other fishing conditions, it is not possible to provide self-cutting of fish.

Quick turn

In order for the hooking to be effective, it is necessary to properly mount the equipment. Reliable cutting is carried out due to:

1. Shifting the place of attachment of the hair closer to the bend of the hook, while changing the center of its gravity.
2. Installation on the hair of a small pellet, at a distance of a few centimeters from the beginning of the barb of the hook.
3. Fastening a pellet, weighing about 2 g, on a leash, measuring 5 cm from the hook.

There are a lot of options for the hook to turn into the desired position. Quite often they use such a thing as Line Aligner, which means “line straightener”.

Technique for using the Line Aligner:

1. The shell is partially removed from the leash.
2. A knot is tied around the shank of the hook.
3. 2 knots are knitted in front of the eye of the hook.
4. A hole is formed in the heat shrink tube through which the leash is pulled.
5. A tube is put on the shank of the hook.
6. Fix the tube well over the steam and give it a shape with a bend of 30-35 °.

As a result of such actions, the line should be in line with the tip of the hook.

Types of rigs for carp fishing

Recently, the manufacture of fishing tackle has stepped far forward. At the first stages, they used the so-called “button”. Now there are a sufficient number of alternative snap-in options that are much more effective than the well-known “button”.

There are five of the most famous:

• sliding equipment;
• option with an anti-twist tube;
• deaf option of equipment;
• floating equipment;
• helicopter rig.

How to properly mount a sliding rig:

1. A leash is prepared with a hook of the required length.
2. Attach a swivel to the leash.
3. The main fishing line is knitted to the swivel, where a sliding sinker and a stopper are previously attached to it, which limits the sliding of the load.

Equipment with an anti-twist tube:

1. Prepare a leash with a hook.
2. A swivel is installed on the leash.
3. A stopper, an anti-twist and another stopper are put on the main fishing line. After that, the leash is attached.
4. A sinker is attached to the anti-twist.

Blind snap and how to make it:

1. A leash with a hook and a swivel is being prepared.
2. A piece of fishing line is passed through a silicone tube and a safety clip.
3. A swivel with a leash is connected to one end of the segment.
4. The other end of the segment is attached to the main line or shock leader with a swivel.

Floating equipment is characterized by the fact that floating-type boilies are used. Alternatively, it is possible to use foam, which will give the bait positive buoyancy. A similar variant of equipment takes place in conditions where there is a lot of silt at the bottom of the reservoir or the bottom is overgrown with thick grass.

Equipment “helicopter”

The “helicopter” type rig, like the floating rig, is suitable for areas with a silted bottom. In this case, the leash is absolutely independent from other elements of the tackle and it can be installed at any distance from the load. This rig is perfect for long distance casting.

The order of manufacturing equipment type “helicopter”:

1. A piece of Liadcorek is attached to the end of the main line.
2. The sinker is attached to the Liadcorek segment by means of a winding ring.
3. On the same segment of Liadcorek, two stoppers are installed, between which there is a ring for attaching the leash.
4. A leash is attached to this ring with a swivel and carabiner.

Tackle for carp “harvester”

The principle of operation of such tackle is no different from the classic carp spring, although there are some advantages: the tackle is easy to manufacture and operate, small in size, minimizes the amount of bait, and is able to fly long distances.

Recommendations for its manufacture:

1. Cone-shaped springs up to 6 cm long and with a diameter of 2 to 30-50 mm are being prepared.
2. A swivel is fixed in the thin part of the spring.
3. A fishing line is attached to the swivel.
4. 5-6 leashes with hooks are prepared, up to 10 cm in size.
5. All leashes are knitted to the clasp (carabiner).
6. The carabiner is attached to the swivel, on the top of the feeder.
7. One of the leads must be passed through the inside of the spring along its axis.

Leashes

The leashes are knitted from braided fishing line and tied at one point. So that they do not get tangled in the process of casting, they are bred to the sides. For this, a plastic tube is taken and holes are made in it in different directions.

Bait

The main element of the bait is the dough, which can be prepared according to this recipe:

1. It is necessary to cook rye or gray bread.
2. Three medium-sized potatoes are boiled.
3. Cooked corn porridge.
4. All components are carefully ground through a meat grinder.
5. In conclusion, the dough should be thoroughly kneaded by adding vegetable oil to the mixture.

Before casting, the hooks are camouflaged in the dough with their sting outward.

Making a makoshnik for carp

The makushatnik is the simplest equipment for catching carp and other types of fish. In this case, a makukha briquette serves as a feeder, which soaks in water for a long time. Such equipment requires only a weight, sometimes a special design, such as a dovetail, although many anglers get by with the simplest designs of sinkers.

To form gear you will need:

• lead plate, size 5×3 cm;
• drills, 1,5 and 2,5 mm thick, as well as an electric drill;
• winding ring, clasp and swivel;
• hooks (from 1 to 4 pieces);
• material for leashes;
• fishing line, 0,4 mm thick;
• rubber ring for fixing the briquette.

Manufacturing technology:

1. 4 holes are drilled in the lead plate, placed at the corners of the plates.
2. In the transverse part of the top, a recess is made under the rubber ring.
3. Holes with a diameter of 1,5 mm are drilled in the corners of the cake bar for attaching hooks.
4. Prepare leashes with hooks and fasten them along the edges of the plates.
5. Mask the hooks in the crown by placing them in holes with a diameter of 1,5 mm.
6. Fix the makukha briquette on a metal plate.
7. A swivel and carabiner are attached to the winding ring.

Equipment for carp – some nuances

Items such as heat shrink rubber and silicone tubes, safety clips, PVA materials, etc. have a high cost. In this case, it is very important to decide exactly on this moment when you have to save on such trifles.

And yet there are alternative options, albeit with a number of disadvantages. For example, heat shrink tubing can be replaced with a cheap option purchased from the radio market or hardware store.

The disadvantages of such a replacement include:

• a high temperature is required to shrink the tube, which can adversely affect the leader material;
• the alternative material does not have the same ductility as the original material, which affects flexibility and strength.

In place of a secure clip, it is possible to use a Clip Link clip.

In this case, negative consequences are possible, such as:

• shooting sinkers in the process of casting;
• there is an excess consumption of a shock-absorbing rubber tube.

As for PVA materials, there is no alternative to their use, although many anglers do without them. Despite this, sometimes there are conditions, especially when the bottom is highly looped, when it is simply impossible to do without PVA bags, nets or threads. In other words, for effective carp fishing, there are many elements that simplify the process of fishing. The main thing is to determine the conditions in which it is possible and useful to use such trifles.

The information presented in the article can help with simple recommendations, especially for inexperienced anglers, to take the fishing process more seriously. Carp fishing is a serious and responsible occupation that requires a lot of money, money and time.
