Carp Fishing Tackle Online

Shimano rule the carp fishing reel world with their Baitrunner reel. The Shimano Baitrunner is the best on the market; they have been producing gearing products for years, most notably bicycle gears. The Baitrunner I own has seen several years of service and has been under water, had ground bait all over it, been covered fish slime and has barely been cleaned and it still work perfectly.

All the Baitrunner models are excellent and you can certainly depend on them, they are good for freshwater fishing such as fishing for Carp, and are also good for sea water fishing. The Baitrunner series also come in a range that also includes some very affordable model s. These reels are also excellent for use from the shore and for fishing from a boat.

The Baitrunners have spool thumbing, this makes it easy to place your lure exactly into the position you want. The Baitrunner really is a dream for the Carp angler.

I once spent a day landing double figure Carp catches on it. The clutch on the Baitrunner is absolutely the smoothest have ever used. Once I saw a carp roll at around 100yds, with my Baitrunner the rig and bait flew out to the fish, 5 minutes later I landed the carp. I could never have caught it with my old tackle.

Anyway I won’t go on now, get yourself a Shimano Baitrunner reel, you simply must add one of these to your Carp fishing tackle.

This is a common question usually asked by new Carp fishermen. What type of bait should I use? In my experience, any bait you can get to the bottom of your fishing hole will work; worms, minnows (usually dead), corn, and a variety of dough baits. Of these mentioned corn works the best followed by clean smelling dough baits.

Carp generally just suck around on the bottom of lakes and rivers so anything you can get down there has potential to work. They are much like catfish in that sense. Finding bait for carp is easy. If you don’t want to get your fingers messy, then go to your favourite grocer and buy a can of corn. Sweet corn seems to work the best for me.

You can even use plain white bread with a little water to make dough. I however, like to make my own dough bait by combining a ratio of 2:1 flour to cornmeal or Bisquick to cornmeal, mix with water or milk until a dough ball forms, cover and chill in your refrigerator until use.

If you really want to be adventurous, use milk and one egg, mix and set outside covered for a day or two ahead of time. The mixture will sour a bit and be more aromatic. Add more Bisquick or flour as needed until dough just stops sticking to your fingers.

That is all there is to it. Here is one final tip. Take additional flour or Bisquick with you fishing. As the dough ball warms up it may acquire condensation and become sticky. Just kneed a pinch in with the dough you will put on your hook and you will be fine.

Good luck and happy fishing!
