Carp Rods
The size of the weights should be just enough to get the bait to the bottom. Of course, this carp fishing method has 2 major disadvantages. I will have to try carp rods and see how well I can manage it. This is where Fishing for carp gets interesting. Seriously though, check into Carp rods. Perhaps I may be headed up the right road toward this. But you could well try using safe back-stops or utilising flying back leads strategically to alter the usual tensions on your line; not giving enough pressure for a fulcrum effect, but enough to initially hook fish a little deeper, or at least show some line indication of a bite occurring for instance. Uncle Josh’s Carp Bait is made from corn and corn syrup and appeals to the sweet tooth all carp have. A 1 to 2 pound test curve rod would hold carp up to…
Fishing Bivvy for Carp Fishing
Carp fishing in the winter can include long periods of inactivity. Remember, most people are not ignorant when it comes to fishing bivvy. Clearly what I have is a movement in relation to Fox Bivvy. In fact, it is said that actual carp are descended from fish illegally introduced by unauthorized persons. An angler doesn’t want the worry of bait becoming smelly or drying out too quickly.
