Hunting for carp, or How to catch a boil

One of the most promising methods of hunting for carp is fishing for boilies. This is a relatively new direction in carpfishing, which originated in Europe in the late 80s of the last century. How to catch carp in boilies, it became known to us by the end of the 90- Ies. To date, this method has become widely used by both athletes and amateurs of carpfishing. Consider some points of how to catch a boil.

Tooling

First of all, you need to have a suitable snap-in for catching boilies. Begins rigging with a lidokor. This is a kind of leash, which, on the one hand, is attached to the shock-leader, and on the other hand - a sinker with a leash. The sinker should be taken quite heavy, from 80 grams and above. This is necessary both for long casting (the heavier the sinker, the farther you can drop the rigging), and for cutting the fish. The leash with a hook is selected individually for the size of the boil and the desired trophy. The difference between such a tooling and the usual donkey is that under the crochet from the leash a small hole is made with a loop to fix the boom, which, in turn, is drilled and threaded onto this hair.

What are the boilies to catch a carp?

It is difficult to answer unequivocally. Let's try to understand, based on the following conditions: what kind of fish we will catch, at what time of the year we fish, what kind of reservoir (standing or with the current).

Before catching a fish, you need to consider the size of the expected prey. After all, the size of the bait directly affects the size of the caught fish. For carp weighing in the range of 1-1.5 kg and carcasses weighing from 1.5 kg, boilies No. 12-16 are used. To capture trophy specimens, you need to use large sizes - No. 20-24. The number of the boil speaks about its diameter in millimeters.

If the size is selected, the next step is to determine the taste characteristics of the nozzle. The ruler of boilie products in the store is represented by several dozen species with different flavors and smells, which fish distinguish. It is impossible to choose the best option without the trial method. It is necessary to select several types and experimentally establish the most effective.

Boyles and their classification

To understand how to catch a boil, you need to figure out which boilies exist. Practically distinguish sinking and floating, insoluble and soluble (dusting) boilies.

The sinking boilies are made of components that are heavier than water and lie in the process of fishing. Floaters rise from the bottom and are fixed by a small load on the distance necessary from the bottom.

Insoluble boilies in their consistency are able to preserve the original appearance throughout the fishing. Dusters have the property of dissolving in water for a certain amount of time.

Tips on how to catch the boilies:

• The length of the leash is selected individually by an experienced way, as sometimes the carp is very cautious and tries the boil from a distance. If the leash is short, the fish will not completely swallow the nozzle. It is necessary to increase its length.
• The length of the line with the loop at the bottom of the hook is selected, based on the size of the nozzle. The lead should be 6-8 millimeters longer than the diameter of the used boil. In case it is shorter, the fish will not take the bait, feeling the hook. If longer - carp swallow only a boilie without a hook.
• It is quite effective to use floating boilies in combination with drowning. Cut, for example, each in half, so that at the end when nasazhivanii was floating. Thus, we will raise the bait slightly from the bottom, making it more visible to the fish.
• Use a dusting boil it is desirable for several sizes more than necessary, as with time it loses in diameter. The activity of dissolving such a boil depends on the temperature of the water, and on its acid content. This must be taken into account before catching a boil of this kind.
