Hooks for crucian carp. Fishing gear

Carp - this is perhaps the most common fish in domestic water. Hunt for it mainly with a fishing rod, and therefore using a hook. And although there are no special hooks for catching carp , but their choice should be taken very responsibly. Because this is largely due to the success of fishing.

What does the hook consist of?

In order to answer the question of which hook for catching crucian carp is the best, you first need to figure out what it actually consists of.

So, any standard hook has such basic parts:

• Sting.
• The ring (it's the eye).
• The beard.
• Poddedev.
• The forehead.

Each of them can have its own functional features in different types of hooks. In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to other characteristics that distinguish fishing gear (in this case hooks) from each other. This is the size, thickness, shape and even color.

What size should the hooks be on the crucian carp?

The crucian has a disproportionately small mouth against the background of the head and body. Perhaps, this explains the fact that this fish very rarely swallows the hook completely. As a rule, the point simply clings to the lip of the lip.

Consequently, the size of the hook on the crucian can not be large. Choose the smallest "models" that only exist on the market.

Of course, there is no single standard, because its role is played by the size of the crucian carp in the water reservoir where fishing is planned, and the type of bait that will be used ... Experienced fishermen are able to choose the size independently. Well, beginners are recommended to start to stop at No. 5-7 (the maximum that you can afford in some cases is No. 16). Over time, by trial and error, you will be able to determine your size.

Important features of the numbering of hooks

It should, however, be noted that the numbers of hooks do not have a single system - and this must be remembered. It all depends on the manufacturer and the country. So, for example, domestic classifications assign to the small hooks the corresponding numbers: 1 - minimal, 2 - slightly more and further - ascending. But the classification of foreign manufacturers is completely different. Here the size of the hook is inversely proportional to its number. That is, the smallest ones are 32, 31, 30, and the biggest ones are 1,2,3. Thus, choosing the size of the hook for crucian carp for imported products, you need to stop on the product with figures within the third ten. The rest will be too great.

Hook and sting form

As for the shape of the hook, the ideal option would be classic roundness. But there are different opinions about the configuration of the tip (sting).

Many with foam at the mouth argue that there is nothing better for the crucian (that is, for the fisherman) than the stinger curved inwards. They motivate this by the fact that the crucian carp is a capricious fish, cautious, frightened. And such a hook is able to deceive its vigilance - after all, the point is not felt immediately, but when it's too late to do something. In addition, it is almost impossible to jump off a bent point - there's trembling, do not tremble, and you'll get into your ear. Well, the last argument: seasoned fishermen argue that hooks on crucian carp with a sting of such a configuration are much more durable than their direct "colleagues."

Specialists also associate the shape of the sting with the features of fishing and bait. But about this - just below.

Thick or thin?

Hooks are different not only in size and shape, but also in the thickness of the wire from which they are made. And this value in this case, so to speak, is variable. Hooks for carp fishing Sometimes can be thick, and sometimes - quite tonyusenkimi. It all depends on the type of bait used.

If you offer the fish a worm, sponge or, especially, a bloodworm, then as a "skewer" for "shish kebab" should take a thin hook (with a wire diameter of less than 0.5 millimeters). This will allow the bait to remain mobile, and therefore attractive in the eyes of hungry crucian carp. Experts argue that it is possible to walk with a thin hook on large individuals - the only thing is that they should be pulled out of the water gradually, with the utmost care, avoiding sharp jerks.

Well, if "for lunch" kasha porridge, crumb, grain or dough, then the wire should be thick (more than 0.5 millimeter). Such a bait on a "slender" hook will not last long.

Hook Color

How amazing this fact would not seem unsophisticated in fishing to people, but when catching crucian carp, even the color of the hook matters! What can you do, fishing gear - a delicate matter!

Experienced "rulers of fishing rods" know that the golden rule is: "The color of the hook should not be very different from the bottom". This is logical, because otherwise the "gun" will catch your eye and scare the fish away.

As for carp, it is best to peck at dark hooks. Therefore, usually fishermen either buy ready-made black, or repaint them themselves, which is not difficult.

Features of the hook, depending on the method of fishing and the type of bait

There are no universal rules in any field of activity. And the hooks on the crucian can not (and should not!) Always meet certain requirements. The latter vary depending on the specific situation.

As already mentioned above, many anglers advise choosing hooks with a curved stinger. But experts specify: if it is a bottom fishing, which involves a long distance fishing. In this case, the distance does not allow the fisherman to react quickly to the pock, and the bent hook solves the problem. Quickly the crucian "jump off" with such a sting can not, and the hunter manages to pull the prey out of the water.

But there is a nuance: in the case of using as a bait bloodworm, even with long-distance fishing (at least bottom, at least float) only hooks with a straight sting fit.

They, according to experts, are ideal for conventional float fishing and do not scare away the fish, as is commonly believed. She will not notice an open sting, as she will be fascinated by a seductive bait.

By the way, if the bait is dough and similar "dishes", then the danger of loss of the nozzle during the casting of it into the water is great. To hedge it is possible by means of a hook equipped with a small spring, to which the forearm is wound.

Those who like to catch the crucian on polystyrene, remember that the size of the hook should be slightly larger than when using a bloodworm, sponge, worm, dough, pearl barley and other types of bait.

It is better to choose a long hook if you catch it on a worm. In all other cases - only a short version.

Councils of experienced anglers

Well, and some more practical advice from experienced fishermen about the hooks:

Hooks for crucian carp (like any other) should be primarily of high quality. It is better to save on bait than hook.

Carousse is caught using single-hooked (single) hooks. All the rest (two- and three-prone) are for large predators.

• The ring eyelet must be straight.
• Well, when the fore-end is twice as long as the width of the bend.
• The stitch of the hook should be perfectly sharp, the beard - tenacious, and hardening - sufficient.
• It is advisable to choose hooks with a ring shaped head.
• Keep the hooks better next to the magnet. The magnetized hook is attracted to the crucian carp for some reason.

Here, in fact, and all the tricks that will help to round the finger of a scrawny crucian. The main thing is to pay attention to the choice of tackle - and fishing will be successful. Let you are lucky!
