1. What function does the carpfishing thread or line have in our line?

The carpfishing thread is the most important part of our fishing equipment, we must not skimp on our line, and a good thread is essential to firmly feel the fish on the other side of our line. Therefore, it is highly recommended to have it in good condition and change it every year.

The function of our thread or line is none other than to withstand the onslaught of the fish, in addition a good line can help us to fish at a greater distance or withstand the rubbing of stones and obstacles in the reservoirs with more weeds.

2. What is the function of carpfishing braiding on our line?

Braiding in the Carpfishing mode is used for our line basses. 99% of the fishermen in our country ride their hooks with braiding, the thickness will determine the pressure in kilos that the braiding endures in front of our catches.

3. What types of lines can we find for carpfishing?

To choose our carpfishing line we must take into account two things:

1. If we fish from a boat or with a baiting boat we can use a thread of a larger diameter to be able to secure our carp or barbel, however if we fish from the shore we must take into account how many meters we want to throw, in relation to the average weight of our catches in that reservoir or river.
2. The weeds of the swamp where we usually fish to see the diameter with which we are going to fill our reel.

4. Why is it so important to choose a quality line and braid?

The line and braided they are as fundamental as the rod or the reel, and they are responsible for withstanding the pressure that the fish exerts on our line, a good line and a good braid will give us enough confidence to fight those more complicated catches without fear of losing them.

6. How many different types of thread thickness are there and which is the most recommended on each occasion?

In our modality the measurements used are from threads of 0.20 mm to 0.40 millimeters.

If we want to throw away we will use a thread or line of less thickness, if on the contrary we fish with a boat or we do not mind losing distance in the lance we will put a thread of greater thickness to ensure our catch and be calmer in the moments of greater tension for our line when the fish approaches the shore.

11. Does the color of our line influence fishing?

If we ask this question to 20 fishermen, we will surely have 20 different answers. Possibly the most discreet assemblies will help us to achieve a greater number of catches, although more and more red, purple or yellow threads are seen, however the most used are the transparent threads and camouflage line that adapts to all waters.
