What a great fish carp are to catch as they battle to the last before you can land them. On some occasions it can be minutes before you even get sight of the fish.
There are a ton of things to learn about carp fishing but that makes fun right?
Have you ever heard the phrase, "Test Curve" in relation to s a rod? Well, this is an important factor when selecting a rod. Ask yourself, "how large are the fish I want to catch?" This will dictate the type of rod and the test curve of the rod you choose.
The Rod is a great place to start. I use two rods when I am carp fishing, one on for ledgering and the other with a float and each technique requires a different type of rod.
When I ledger I use a quiver tipped rod. This type of rod has a very thin end that actually quivers when a fish is about to take the bait and fair whips back and forth once it has the bait in its mouth.
When it comes to float fishing you need a completely different tip on your rod. The reason for this is that when the float disappears and the fish tears away you life the rod quickly, we call it The Strike. Now if you had a quiver tip the rod end would just bend when what you really need is the rod to rise snapping the hook in to the carps mouth.
Now we get to the bait and let me tell you anglers all around the World will tell you they have a secret formula known to only them. Tall tails every one of them!
When first starting out stick to there three main baits. They will catch carp just as well. Maggots, wriggly and fussy but that is why the carp love them. They move about in the water. If however, there isn't a bait shop anywhere near you then the second and third baits I recommend will server you just as well. Go to your local supermarket and buy cans of sweetcorn and tins of luncheon meat. Carp love them and the meat stays on your hook length for a number of casts if you do it right.
Don't forget to have a can opener and a knife with you or you'll look a proper newby!
Many sweetcorn cans come with the ring pull and most luncheon meat tins have a key to open them.
