Judging by numerous reviews, Carp is one of the most popular trophies for sports and amateur fishing. Due to the fact that this fish is quite large and can provide very active resistance, the gear for its fishing must meet certain requirements. Today, fishermen are presented with different carp fishing lines. Reviews about them are the most controversial. Some models are really good, while others leave much to be desired. It is rather difficult to get confused for a beginner fisherman in a rich assortment.
Which carp line are the best? What gear should I look for first? Information on the requirements for carp fishing line and rating of the best models can be found in the article.
Acquaintance with gear
Fishing line is one of the most important elements in fishing. In the late 80s, fishermen on the carp took a forest, which practically did not differ in diameter from the cable. The minimum cross-sectional indicator was 0.5 mm - agree, a decent thickness? Since you have to deal with large and strong fish, the tackle must be strong, otherwise the predator will fall off and swim away.
Many manufacturers use modern technology, thanks to which the fishing line for carp fishing is produced much thinner. Some beginners are wondering why it is recommended to use not a cord, but a fishing line for fishing carp? The fact is that the cord is not able to reach, and this ability is very important at the stage of fish fishing. If the tackle does not stretch, it cannot extinguish strong jerks of the fish. As a result, the carp will either descend or break. Unlike other small woods, cyprinids have a large unwinding. In some models, this parameter can reach up to 1 thousand meters, since it is not always possible to predict how far the fish will go during biting and fishing. Coils for carp fishing are large, which makes it possible to put more scaffolding in them. When choosing this gear you need to consider several parameters, which you will learn more about later.
Color
Carps are fished using both transparent lines and painted in different colors. The most common are green and brown, as they are least visible in the water column. Some manufacturers experiment and make their products inconspicuous. More recently, camouflage gear appeared on the shelves. A feature of such woods is that they are painted in several colors, successively replacing each other. In such products, one solid line is missing. Visually tackle is divided into several short sections.
Material
Monofilny fishing lines are considered the most popular. Tackle is equally suitable for any kind of fishing. As a material for the manufacture of monofilms, nylon is used - a sufficiently strong, transparent and elastic material. Its minus is that the fishing line has a memory effect, deteriorates from ultraviolet radiation and loses strength in the nodes. To improve its properties, a silicone or fluorocarbon coating is applied to the fishing line.
Experienced fishermen use a wicker to catch carp. This type of fishing line consists of a cord, which is twisted from polyethylene fibers. The advantages of braids are their high strength and minimal elongation. The disadvantage of this type of woods is that they are poorly resistant to abrasion. Mostly braids are used with feeder gear and jig spinning.
Durable fishing lines for large fish are made from fluorocarbon - a polymer material based on carbon and fluorine. Fluorocarbon, judging by the reviews of fishermen, are very resistant to abrasion and do not have a memory effect. In addition, of all types of woods, it is these gears that are least visible in the water column. True, despite the presence of undeniable advantages, fluorocarbon forests are not without some drawbacks. For example, they tear quite easily, but are expensive. For carp fishing, leashes are mainly made from woods of this type.
Thickness
It is considered a very important parameter, since the thicker the forest, the greater the likelihood that the fish will be scared and will not swim. Therefore, this will negatively affect the effectiveness of fishing, so preference should be given to gear with a minimum cross section. For carp fishing, fishing lines are ideal, the diameter of which varies from 0.25 to 0.40 mm. On a leash, experts recommend taking fishing line with a diameter of 0.16 to 0.25 mm.
About destination
For stiff fishing rods with fast action, an elastic and well-stretched fishing line is ideal. For soft fishing rods, experts recommend choosing a less tensile forest. If you fish with a soft parabolic rod, on which a strongly stretching forest is installed, difficulties may arise during the survival. The fact is that the fish in this case will get more freedom of action. If a braid is installed on a rigid rod, a serious load will be put on the friction clutch of the reel, as a result of which it will serve less.
Korda touchdown
This popular carp fishing line is a leader and represents a series of gears with the maximum degree of sensitivity. In the process of its manufacture, the manufacturer decided to use a hard and wear-resistant low tensile material. According to experts, the gear is inherent in optimal flight performance. Judging by consumer reviews, all the forests in this series have a good carrying capacity, they are resistant to jerking. In the entire line, the thinnest is carp fishing line with a 0.4 mm diameter. With its help, you can fish out a fish weighing 6.3 kg. The thickest tackle is able to withstand a load of not more than 9.1 kg. The reel has 1,000 meters of scaffolding. The tackle is brown in color, which maskes it well at great depths. According to the fishermen, 150 m will be enough for fishing, which is enough for two seasons. The only drawback of carp fishing line is that it is very expensive. The price of one coil is 2819 rubles - a pretty impressive amount for many.
Climax Cult Carp Line Z-Sport
The carp fishing line of this company is used in sports fishing. In the ranking of the best takes second place. The range includes products with only a 0.25-mm diameter, which can seriously increase the casting distance, since a thin fishing line is easier to get off the spool and has less resistance. The optimal load for them is 5.8 kg. Tackles are presented in copper brown, fluorescent yellow and orange colors. For the manufacture of the core of carp line, elastic nylon is used, of which fluorocarbon consists. This material, according to experts, is very resistant to wear, stretching and exposure to ultraviolet radiation. The advantages of tackle are the combined composition of nylon with carbon fiber and the ability to produce ultra-long casts. To become the owner of an excellent carp line, you will have to pay 1,640 rubles.
Fox torque line green
Tackle appeared on the shelves of specialized stores in 2016. Judging by the reviews, a fishing line with a 0.30 mm diameter has a fairly low load capacity and can withstand no more than 5 kg. The disadvantage is compensated by high rates of casting distance. To reduce the friction of gear on the rings when it comes off the spool, the surface of the scaffolding manufacturers along the entire length was made smooth. Products are produced in green, due to which it is hardly noticeable in a reservoir. If you compare it with previous models, then this carp line is cheaper - 1099 rubles. Judging by the reviews of anglers, Fox Torque Line Green takes an honorable third place.
The above three brands of woods are considered expensive. Judging by the reviews, not every fisherman can afford to buy them. Next, we will talk about budget carp fishing lines, which, according to fishermen, are considered the best in the low-cost segment.
Daiwa Ginro Silver Beast Nanodis
Among the budget products takes a leading place. The price of monofilament fishing line is 500 rubles. The gear has a rather high breaking load of 5.4 kg. To achieve this result, the manufacturer calibrated the diameter of the scaffold along its entire length. The product has a weak "memory", so when creating strong nodes total bends are not formed. On the other hand, many consider this feature a drawback. This monophile is best used with spinners, tails and wobblers. Tackle can be used to catch large trout.
Trabucco K-Karp Hi-Flow
Carp fishing line of large unwinding. The reel contains 600 meters of black fishing line. Models are inherent in all the qualities and properties that will make fishing as efficient as possible. Judging by numerous consumer reviews, tackle with a diameter of 0.286 mm is very resistant to abrasive damage, quite flexible. Many appreciated its optimal extensibility, so the fisherman can take it to inaccessible places of the reservoir and to short sections. The breaking load is 7.15 kg. High performance brought tackle to second place in the budget rating.
Bercley Fire Line Micro Ice Fused Original
German-made gear allows you to fish carp in both winter and summer. Since the fishing line is characterized by high quality workmanship and transparency, even the most cautious predator may not notice it. The fishing line has minimal stretch, and due to its high sensitivity, it is convenient for the fisherman to control the wiring and bite. Products with a breaking load from 1.5 to 4.8 kg. This parameter depends on the cross section of the forest. According to the fishermen, the tackle is pretty catchy, because not only carp, but also pike, pikeperch, perch, and ide are fishing for it. The price of gear is relatively low - 440 rubles. In the ranking in third place.
Salmo Tournament Team
It is considered a high-quality monofilament fishing line, the diameter of which varies between 0.102 - 0.223 mm. On the market, fishing line is represented mainly in 50 meter reels. Less common are reels with 75 meters of fishing line. Many fishermen consider this, albeit small, but a minus. The main feature of the Salmo Tournament Team is that the fishing line has a special tread layer that eliminates the memory effect. In addition, it prevents abrasive wear of gear. The fishing line has water-repellent qualities and remains flexible even at a temperature of -20 degrees. To purchase one coil, you have to lay out 350 rubles.
Sufix Duraflex X10 Clear
You can buy fishing tackle for only 300 rubles. It was the low cost and relatively acceptable quality that allowed her to get into the budget segment rating. Experienced anglers say that these are forests with pretty good, but not reference characteristics. It is quite soft and flexible, but this does not prevent, if necessary, weaving strong knots from it. With almost zero stretchability of the forest has a tolerable sensitivity. The diameter of the cross section is 0.25 mm. If the load threshold exceeds 7 kg, then the forest will break. The main problem of the Sufix Duraflex X10 Clear is its inhomogeneous cross section, which is especially noticeable during unwinding.
As a result, a predator can suddenly cut it off even at a lower voltage, which causes annoyance and perplexity in the fisherman. This drawback is noted by almost all fishing enthusiasts, but the small price smoothes out the unpleasant experience.
