Carp Fishing : What Equipment Is Essential?

By Mark Walters


You may have heard from the mouths of many sports fishermen that carp are worthless fish that are simply eating machines, dirty, and no good to eat themselves. These sentiments are actually losing steam, and carp fishing is growing in popularity in the United States. In Europe, the idea that carp are trash fish has long been discounted, as the sport of carp fishing has long been established on the continent. Regardless of what part of the globe you take up the sport, there is certain equipment needed to go carp fishing, just as with bass, walleye, or any other game fish.

Fishing requires patience, so you will want a comfortable setting from which to enjoy your carp fishing. A bivvy provides a nice place to relax while towing your line. Bivvies resemble tents, and are somewhat pricey, so be sure to determine the right one for you before you lay down your money. Also, ensure that the bivvy's doors tie securely in the back, because the wind will cause them to continually flap in the breeze otherwise. A bivvy is your outdoor home while carp fishing, so be sure to buy one large enough to handle a bed, chairs, and all of your fishing equipment.

When going carp fishing, it is important to utilize the correct rod for the job. There are specific models that cater to this kind of angling, and the best way to begin your search for the proper one is to consider the test curve of prospective rods. The test curve is an indication of how much applied force causes a rod to bend up to and beyond 90 degrees. The 2.5 lb. test curve is most often sought by fishermen because this rating is able to adequately wrangle fish that are on par with the typical size of a carp.

The reels you will most often find attached to rods used for carp fishing are either fixed spool one clutch or baitrunner two clutch. Baitrunner two clutch reels have surpassed the fixed spool one clutches in popularity because the line less frequently breaks when the fish make a forceful bite and run on the bait. Regarding this bait, chick peas seem to be quite effective in attracting carp, as has caramel corn and cold cuts. With the use of this bait and a silicon lure, you will be in the game.

As carp fishing has begun to experience more enthusiasts, the techniques have improved in recent years. The preceding tips have been handed down from veteran anglers and tested by fishermen time and again. As long as you carry the proper equipment on hand and have patience, you will be reeling in carp in no time.
