Leads for carp - what and why?

Leads for carp, carp are made of different materials. Over time, these materials are changed, new ones appear. A very common question asked in the forum - whether to use nylon or braided leashes, and what type of equipment best. I will try to give you an idea of ​​what and when to use it. There are four main types of material drive disc:

Braided / stranded thread

In a perfect world this would be my top choice. Sufficiently small diameter and a very flexible material allows such a leash to behave more realistically at the bottom of the pond.


Braided leash

Most of these materials wear-resistant to abrasion and fracture. The downside is that a careless handling these leashes can be a cause of the nodes, overlaps (especially multi-core variants), and even the loss of equipment.

Leaders of the monofilament

Usually represent a very ordinary monolesku used as the primary coil on either a specially designed as a drive disc material from the fluorocarbon (carbon fluoride). Beautiful protivozaputyvatelnye properties and also based on the nature of the material, not as soft as wicker, creating a unique effect "zatsepistosti" hook. Fluorocarbon is good in clear water, in the presence of timid fish.

Do not have a good anti-abrasion characteristics.

Hard tooling

Typically, either a very thick and stiff mono fishing line, like "Amnesia", or more specialized, such as produced by such firms ESP, Fox and others. These leashes can help avoid spitting the hook carp due to the rigidity of the material, but the bait can not behave "naturally" at the bottom.

Combined equipment

I prefer to use it to, whenever possible, I feel that they deserve the best word - flexibility in the place of attachment hook, do not get confused and have a small effect of "anti-recovery"


Leash of Christon Super Mantis

Can be produced from the compound braid and mono line, but it's much better to use special materials, such as Kryston Snakeskin / Mantis, etc. ..

And now for the snap. What is the best equipment? And there is! There is a good snap, but none of them can not cover every conceivable situation. First of all you need to determine what type of bottom in the place where you intend to catch. Clean gravel, clay, soft algae, hard algae? That is what will give you a basis for selecting appropriate equipment, and sometimes the appropriate bait. The following is just my personal opinion, but:

Clean gravel / hard bottom

Honestly, you can use any of the above materials. In pure water, I prefer to use Fluorocarbon or something like Christon Mantis. Hard tooling probably the most effective in this type of bottom, but the fish may seem suspicious.

Sludge

When fishing in the muddy bottom, I prefer braid, or combinations of equipment as well as hard tooling stuck at an angle and stick out of the mud. If you're pulling rig, sinker sinking into the mud - the leash goes into the mud. If you catch a fish that burrows in the mud - all that the early use short tight leashes are the best solution.

Algae

It seems to catch in the mud, but I try to pick up the color in the color of algae leashes. In the strongest weed in my opinion, there is no difference in the drive disc material, because I'm not sure that the fish can see it. I also noticed that the fish does not "suck" the bait, but simply swallows it may be because the algae she feels more confident? I would advise to use the PVA, the hook is not caught in the weeds immediately after casting.

If you go back to the very snap - simple knotless installation, with any of the materials - the best starting point - do not forget to check the sharpness of the hook. I like to use leashes and a length of 12 inch, when the majority uses the 6-8, but I have successfully caught and 2-4 inchevymi leashes, especially with the PVA and the "method". Do not be afraid to use long hair - 1 or more inches. If you have a false bite - just shorten the hair, until the fish begins to interfere.

To use a pop-up boilie rig from Big Rick - Rik's D Rig. I'm knitting a snap of the Snakebite, by removing a small piece of cover to the point where balancing is attached sinker. The most important thing is confidence in their own snap-in, try to change it only if you have a compelling reason to do so. Try to find a school of fish, and check whether it is your bait. If you are convinced that the bait is accepted graciously, gently try to throw a tackle, not scared all the fish and watch the reaction of fish. The first rule - to find the fish, the second - to find the feeding fish, and 90% of success in your pocket!
