Bottomless catch - Special accessories for carp

When fishing in waters with soft bottoms in front of "anglers" having some problems, chief among which is that when the equipment and bait sink into the mud, the chances of the catch dramatically sokraschayutsya.Takie same bleak prospects are, and when the angler exactly does not know whether all carp bait to find it. Snap, created especially for this situation can be successfully caught in waters with a very thick layer of silt on the bottom.


I began to develop its own snap a couple of years ago. Somehow I wanted to go fishing on one of the gravel pits. In the 70s, when the quarry still connected with the river Maas, in it were carried huge carp. Later, the connecting channel is filled, the area was closed, and carp anglers have been isolated from more than 20 years.

Although the eye sees, so the tooth itching.

When the reservoir was opened, it turned out that the whole surrounding area is fundamentally transformed. Now, lush vegetation covers its shores, and in the water bloomed lush greenery. On the surface, I spotted several large dark spots. Caution came closer to the shore and saw a fat carp in the water that lazily basking in the sun. Yes, there is fishing: After a three-day campaign groundbait followed by the first night vigil. The result is dismal: nothing! It is strange, because I have seen and heard bursts of fish near the surface. On the site there were carp bait, but none of them showed no interest

No equipment for fishing on the muddy bottom of a magnificent carp never would have found baits.

boylam.Posle to my unsuccessful attempts to catch a few snap-bottom, I decided to try an entirely new way, and prepared a float. Carps, of course, were lured to the site. I planted a bait on the hook and threw the tackle. Maybe someone will say that this is a somewhat unusual method, but it worked. We had only to follow to ensure that bait is not Waist float under water. About an hour later the float dived under the water, and I'm hooked. Excellent carp bait took without hesitation. That same evening, I caught two more handsome.

Let's see!

After this evening I came to the conclusion that my failure with a heavy sinker explained simply. The fact that the equipment, along with Boyle are constantly immersed in the soft bottom.

Over the past 20 years, the pond, apparently, has brought much silt. And as the mud is composed of the finest fractions of it leaves no traces on the snap or lure. To have an accurate idea of ​​the ground water reservoir, the next time I went on a boat, taking with him a depth sounder. "Gray Line" (grayline) loomed on the screen only as a mild twilight zone. Long-handled podsacheka I tried to feel out the bottom, but the handle is included in it, like a hot knife in soft butter. From the water began to rise the bubbles of marsh gas.

In many places, I found the 80-cm layer of soft mud. It is no wonder that my rig was buried in it. It does not matter, "ran" a sinker on the main fishing line and was fixed on her side with a lead - in any case, it Waist attachment in the mud, even if the leash was very long.

After a series of experiments with a variety of snap-ins I finally managed to find an option for fishing in the mud. The main thing in this snap that leash with Boyle can slide freely along the main line. First, the main fishing line strung as a retainer segment of silicone tube with a diameter of 0.5 mm, which sticks out of the sexual bristle brush. Then, on the line put on the rubber bead, which serves as a buffer between the stopper and the T-shaped element swivel tee. The main fishing line is passed through a T-shaped element, and on its side ringlet fix the leash with a hook. By the end of the main line is tied teardrop sinker with swivel. Between the sinker and the swivel tee element strung another bead of rubber, which protects the knot on the weights under strong pressure during the vyvazhivanii. The leash should be the right thing "sit" on the element and swivel tee is not overlapped with the main fishing line. To do this, tying up the site I put the leash on the segment of the silicone tube, and then move it through the swivel on the tube element swivel tee.

Attachments with a T-shaped element

When casting a lead slip up on the main fishing line until it stops. When the snap and sinker immersed penetrates the layer of silt, the leash is shifted to the stopper.

It is important that the distance between the sinker and the stopper was greater than the thickness of the layer of silt. To be sure, this distance can always be taken with a small margin. If the thickness of the sludge is about 50 cm, the distance between the sinker and the stopper can reach 100 or even 150 cm Karp, who took the bait, pinpoint himself as the stopper fixes the leash, and the fish trying to escape begins to pull a sinker from a layer of silt. In ponds with soft ground, this rig works great, as well as the carp are rarely caught, it is unlikely to have a bitter experience with the hook
