Carp Fishing Equipment: What Do You Need?

Are you interested in carp fishing? If so, you are probably interested in carp fishing equipment. Like many other hobbies and sports, fishing is one of those pastimes where the amount of success you have will depend, in no small part, on the equipment you use. Not that you can’t catch a fish of one kind or another with a pole and whatever you can find in your kitchen that can act as bait. But to catch the big fish, like a 10 or 20 pound carp that can be counted on to put up a fight, you need good tools.

If you are going fishing for carp, here is some carp fishing equipment that you will want in your arsenal.

The Right Rod and Line

Carp are big, heavy and strong. And, well, they don’t really want to be caught, so you can almost count on them to put up quite a fight as you try to pull them in. The result? Many people who go after these fish without the right equipment find that, after hours of work, all they have to show for it is a broken line, broken rod, and no fish to speak of. So your first step is to get yourself a quality rod. You also want to use a 15 pound test line.

The Right Flies

Many who fish for carp have great success using flies. But not just any flies. There are many flies on the market now days, all of them promising they will help you catch more fish than you ever imagined possible. Some of these flies look like little works of art. But, when fishing for carp, you want to choose flies that look as much like actual carp food as possible. Otherwise, the fish will just ignore your fly and go on about its business.

Use a Net to Make Things Easier

After fighting with a carp for a while you will, if you’re lucky, scoop it up and officially declare it caught. Because carp are so heavy, you more than likely won’t be able to hold it up by the rod. Instead, you will have to take it directly from the water. Using a net is the easiest way to get this done. However, if you do want to take the carp out of the water by hand, be careful. Holding a carp incorrectly can harm or damage your catch.

Fishing for carp is both fun and challenging. And the best way to guarantee success is by using the right carp fishing equipment.

Practical Carp Fishing $32.07 The popularity of carp fishing has increased dramatically during the last 30 years; many now regard the sport as a separate branch of angling in its own right, alongside coarse fishing, game fishing, and sea fishing. This practical and accessible book examines the characteristics and habits of this cunning species of fish. Aimed at the coarse angler with some experience who has decided to enter the exciting world of carp fishing for the first time, this volume is also for inexperienced carp anglers who wish to improve their catches.

Carp Fishing: Advanced Tactics $38.53 Catching carp is easy if you fish "easy" waters, but if you take the next step and tackle the more difficult lakes and rivers the situation is substantially different. In such waters carp can test the capabilities of any angler. Carp are cunning, unpredictable, and amongst the toughest freshwater fish in the world to catch.

Carp Fishing on Valium $3.95 The literary debut of one of rock’s most critically acclaimed singer/songwriters. For 25 years Graham Parker has rocked our world, releasing more than 20 albums, including the fabled" Squeezing Out Sparks," considered to be one of the great rock and roll albums of all time. Now Graham stakes his claim in the literary world with "Carp Fishing on Valium," "Carp Fishing on Valium" is the story of one Brian Porker, our Everyman if you will, told in a kaleidoscopic series of episodes from Brian’s life: from a nature-loving lad who collects bird eggs to a wannabe musician enduring distasteful jobs; from a husband with a different kind of relationship problem to a high-living rock singer auditioning as the replacement for the "newly deceased" Mick Jagger; and from a homeowner negotiating with country workmen to his final guise as an ornithologist-comedian (yes, you read that right). Witty, absurd, keenly insightful and full of a wistfulness for what once was and what might have been, "Carp Fishing on Valium" establishes Graham Parker on the literary scene in the same wickedly incisive way he turned rock on its ear.

Carp Fishing Science $36.3 Carp anglers talk about watercraft all the time. But what exactly is that? Some would say it’s applying understanding of the environment in which the carp lives and the fish itself to catch more of them. And how do we improve our watercraft? By studying how the behaviour of the carp changes as environmental variables fluctuate daily and seasonally. We can do this by spending time on the lake or river bank and by reading about it. Carp Fishing Science is unlike all other carp fishing books. It provides information which the angler can use in order to anticipate changes in the carp’s behaviour, especially those related to nutrition and activity, therefore helping to improve the reader’s watercraft.Jon Wood, marine biologist and experienced fish farm consultant, has written a book which looks at carp fishing from a very different point of view from all other publications; from that of the fish rather than the fisherman, which is really where it should be from.In Carp Fishing Science, he presents a distillation of more than two hundred scientific publications and has extracted the most valuable proven facts about the fish to allow the reader to know the animal in greater detail, modify strategies and put more fish on the bank.This book bridges a gap between that which has until now only been supposed and that which has been shown through scientific studies. The author delves into aspects of carp biology, fish physiology and environmental science in order to clarify some of the myths surrounding carp fishing and answers questions such as why and how carp feed, which substances have been shown to cause a positive feeding response to carp, how the fish uses each of its senses and how the nutritional requirements of the carp change through the year. If you are a carp angler, a carp producer, a bait maker, a fisheries student, or just someone who has always wanted to think like a fish, then this book should be in your collection.

The Myth $5.11 The scene is set during the harsh winter of ’63, where we meet the two main characters. Young Stan Peacock is a typical boy who likes nothing better than to be climbing trees, catching spiders and beetles and, more importantly, being beside water – any water, from the smallest pond to a flowing stream, and it is this fascination with water that sees him begin a journey, and a passion, that will last a lifetime. “Many miles away, the fry from many fish are struggling to survive the harshest of winters, and many of them will fail. But of those that are strong enough to survive there is one, a Common carp, which just might grow to become the most sought after of specimens.” The story sees these two lives move inexorably towards a final meeting place, but in the meantime Stan must decide which path his angling should take, and the Common must endure many more challenges if it is to reach its potential. There are, of course, many other colourful characters to aid or hinder both Stan and the Common on their journey through the years, and the final outcome is still in the balance as their paths eventually cross. Keith has used his knowledge of fishing, and love of the sport and all its heroes and villains, to tell a tale that will resonate with fishermen everywhere. From those first exhilarating twitches of a red-tipped float, to the camaraderie and friendship that only a sport like angling can provide. Whether you are happy strolling the banks of a rippling stream, trotting a worm beneath those willow fronds, or prefer sitting behind three rods, waiting for the catch of a lifetime, this book will amuse and resonate with you just the same. A prime fishing novel, one of the first of it’s kind to be written. This story introduces many of the characters to Keith’s acclaimed book ‘The Keeper’ (also available on Kindle) and is an essential and enjoyable prequel.
