Everything for Your Rig Setup
To tie a simple yet effective carp fishing rig, you'll need various products. Here we want to give you a brief overview:
-
Fishing Lines
The fishing line represents the direct connection between the angler and the fish, making it one of the most important items in fishing. Quality is crucial here. If the line shows any damage, it should be replaced immediately.
-
Leads
In modern carp fishing, bottom rigs are commonly used. To ensure the bait stays in place despite currents, wind, or waves, leads of different weights are needed. On a small lake, 80 grams are typically sufficient to hook the fish securely. In a wild river, even 250 grams may not be enough.
-
Hooks
A hook for carp fishing must meet two key requirements: it must be needle-sharp and must not bend even under the pressure of a record-breaking carp. For more details, refer to our Carp Hooks category.
-
Rig Accessories & Tools
Rig accessories and tools cover nearly the entire final stage of carp fishing. They include intelligently designed lead systems and modern rig components. With additional tools like scissors, cutters, and boilie needles, you'll find everything a fisherman's heart desires. Popular brands such as Fox, Korda, Kryston, Mikado, Nash and others offer extensive product ranges—all available in our store.
-
Hooklink Materials & Leaders
Choosing the right hooklink material requires considering several factors. The type of lakebed and the selected rig largely determine the appropriate material. You'll find braided and monofilament hooklink materials from various brands in the respective category.
Carp Care After Landing the Fish
For every dedicated carp angler, the well-being of the fish is always a top priority. To prevent injury after landing the fish, a proper unhooking mat is absolutely essential. If the fish is to be weighed, we recommend using high-quality scales and fish-friendly weigh slings. All carp care accessories can be found in our tackle shop. From affordable entry-level gear to premium models for professionals—you’re sure to find what you need!
Transport & Organization of Your Tackle
Only with optimal organization can you make the most of your time at the water. With practical tools like barrows and tackle boxes, you can reduce transport and setup time and maximize your effective fishing time. This automatically increases your catch rate—especially when bite alarms precisely matched for the job help you never miss a catch!
A well-organized tackle box is an essential part of every angler’s equipment. Small items like hooklink materials, hooks, and tools must be stored neatly to quickly adapt to changes at the water.
The same goes for barrows. They are used to transport your extensive fishing gear from your vehicle to your fishing spot. Anyone who has ever had to carry their tackle several hundred meters multiple times knows the benefits of a solid trolley.
