The adult carp is quite large. Therefore, for any fisherman, he is always a welcome trophy. Catching carp in a pond is very difficult. This inhabitant of ponds and lakes is very smart and careful. Therefore, both beginners and professional fishermen want to get such a fish.
For carp fishing, you need good tackle and the right bait. However, this is often not enough. You need to know everything about fish habits, taste preferences and activity in different seasons of the year. A well-chosen bait increases the likelihood of successful fishing several times.
It should be noted that the taste needs of carp are constantly changing. This is facilitated by a large number of reasons: season of the year, water heating, air temperature. Much depends on the food supply of the reservoir. If on one pond the bait has shown itself well, then on the other it will be useless. Karp will completely ignore her. Not everyone knows, but each reservoir has its own flora and fauna, which is different from others. Therefore, the fish behaves differently everywhere. If on one pond there is a good bite early in the morning, then on the other fish can be actively caught during the day.
To lure carp, there are several types of bait that fishermen use. They are subdivided:
Everybody knows herbal ingredients. These include bread, corn, cottage cheese, boiled potatoes, pearl barley, millet. Lures of animal origin include maggots, dung worms, bark beetles, dragonfly and caddis larvae, pupae. All these baits have shown their best side when fishing for carp.
The special bait includes boiled. These products are made in the form of balls. She is popular with fishermen. In terms of its effectiveness, this type of bait very often surpasses its competitors of plant and animal origin.
Currently, boiled is used for carp fishing. This bait is considered one of the best. It is a ball of a special composition. Aromatic oils are added to them, the smell of which attracts fish. This product has one more feature. The balls do not get wet at all in water. This gives the fisherman a great advantage. There is no need to constantly throw the bottom tackle, since the homemade bait gets wet and loses its properties.This process is very tedious and time-consuming.
The balls come in sizes from 0.5 to 3 cm. However, professional fishermen usually buy products with a diameter of more than 1 cm. In addition, small round balls become easy prey for frivolous fish. This fact disappoints many, since all anglers want to catch a large trophy. Balls have different buoyancy. Some can sink, while others remain on the surface of the reservoir. Also rounds come in different colors. There have been cases when, having changed the shade of the bait, the fish began to actively bite.
There is a wide range of ball lures on the market. However, the fisherman needs to know which flavor is best for fishing. Depending on the season, carp prefers the following scents:
In the spring, the carp family bites better on bait with the taste of crustaceans and molluscs. After hibernation, a real zhor opens up. Therefore, the high nutritional value of this bait attracts better.
In summer, carp have enough food, especially if there are a lot of reeds on the pond. Therefore, you can lure him exclusively with exotic smells. In this case, you can use the aroma of fruit or caramel.
In the fall, fish should store fat. She needs this for a comfortable wintering. Therefore, during this period, baits with the smell of crustaceans are suitable.
Winter time is characterized by reduced carp activity. He moves a little and it is not so easy to lure him out of the pit. Therefore, bait with strong and pungent odors can be used.
When buying a boiled, you need to pay attention to the diameter of the ball and its buoyancy. Some lures sink to the bottom, while others remain afloat. When fishing, you need to take into account the peculiarity of the reservoir. Therefore, it is better to have different types of baits in your arsenal.
They are quite expensive. At first, manufacturers made them for feeding fish. But over time, the bait began to be used as the main bait. Its rich aroma spreads very quickly in water. The manufacturer claims that the life of the ball in water is about 36 hours. It is during this period that the bait completely releases its aroma into the surrounding water.
The balls have different diameters. Usually, their size ranges from 15 to 25 mm. Fishermen decide for themselves what size bait to use when fishing. Products are packaged in different containers. Banks with a volume of 100-200 grams are produced. Large bags are also produced in which the finished product is placed weighing up to 1 kg. It is very convenient. The price for different packaging is different, but it is more profitable to buy a large volume. Therefore, each fisherman decides for himself how much bait to buy.
