How Carp Pod Rods Help You Hook Carp
Carp fishing is a rather rewarding activity since these fish are rather intelligent and often suspicious of anything put in front of them. However, with some trickery, you can lure the fish and dupe them into being hooked. What follows are just a few tips to help you when carp fishing:-
- Bring boilies based on fishmeal in the finer weather (summer and autumn), and try 50/50 mixes or even bird food types of bait in the winter and spring seasons
- In the winter when the water is cold, try casting your rigs more often, and aim at different areas so you can set a hook bait close to the carp. Cold water slows down the movements of carp therefore there’s less chance for the carp to swim to your bait. During summertime, you can lay traps in likely patrolling locations and wait for the carp to find the bait.
- Utilise diverse particles or sizes of pellets in the spod mix. This really “throws” the carp (confuses them), and gives you the option to use contrasting sizes of bait.
- Whenever you can, try not to use round shaped bait. So many fishing lines feature rounded bait, you should feature something different. Try to square up the hook bait with scissors.
- Lastly, make sure you have the right fishing gear with you. Research what you should bring online. You can find all kinds of things online, such as carp rod pods - and ensure you enjoy the time you spend by the river!
