Carp fishing tackle can be highly specialized. Here's a brief glossary of some important terms related to carp fishing tackle and carp fishing gear.
Terms Related to the Carp Species
Barbels: The 2 organs on the upper jaw of a carp that look like whiskers. Barbels help the carp find food in murky water.
Cloopers: Carp that are feeding on the surface.
Mudders: Carp that are feeding on the bottom. Evident by the cloud of mud they kick up.
Coarse fish: All species that are not members of the trout or salmon families.
Terms Related to Carp Tackle and Rigs
Leader: A length of heavy-duty line that's about 30 to 40 feet long. A leader is attached to the main line because it is more resistant to abrasion. A hook length is then attached to the end of the leader for attaching the carp bait.
Shock leader: A length of extra heavy line that can withstand the force of a long cast.
Feeder: A secondary piece of carp tackle, this is a cage that is attached to the leader instead of a sinker. Bait is pressed into the feeder to attract the carp to the baited hook.
Float: A bobber that's more sensitive than the familiar white and red globes. Floats are long and slender and function as bite detector signals as well as devices for presenting the bait to the carp.
Semi-fixed: A piece of carp fishing tackle that allows the leader to detach from the line in case of snags. A bolt rig is a variation of the semi-fixed rig that automatically hooks the carp when the leader tightens.
Fixed: Refers to tackle or leaders that do not slide along the line and do not come free when the main line breaks.
Stringer: Several baits without hooks that are attached close to the hooked bait as "freebies."
Terms Related to Carp Bait
Tiger nut: A small tuber that is an excellent carp bait. Tiger nuts must be boiled until thick and sticky before use.
Chum: Bait that is thrown into the water to attract fish to the vicinity of the hook bait.
Boilie: A bait that is a piece of round, hard dough. Boilies are made from a variety of grains mixed with water to form a thick dough, formed into sphere shapes and boiled.
