The most suitable roller is either a bait reel, a threaded line or a side throw. Side molding is especially suitable when a float is needed. Each of these rollers, when used on a rod of 7 6 to 9, forms a well-matched outfit when baits are used, but one of the 5 6 to 7 6 would be more suitable for the use of artificial devices. Triple hooks on artificial means should not be larger than No. 1. The size of the board should be limited as much as possible and preferably not at all. Carp, Cyprinus carpio, are often mistakenly called European carps. They are native to Central Asia in a region characterized by hot summers, cold winters and low rainfall. They were introduced to China, Japan and Italy in ancient times. From Rome, carp spread to southern Europe. They came to Central Europe in the 12th century and the 14th century. ==External links==Carp is now one of the most widespread freshwater fish on earth. They inhabit all continents except the polar regions and oceanic islands.

Small mesh fyke nets fished most carp of different size classes, were the easiest to use, caused few potential injuries to native fish, and were the second most profitable type of fishing gear (large mesh fishing nets were cheaper). Other types of carp are found in Victorian waters, including: But are carps the bad guys or just one of the many syptomes shown by our stressed rivers? Carp is one of the main causes of deterioration of our rivers. Carp is reported as a harmful water type in Victoria, making it a criminal offence to possess, transport or release live carp or to use live carp (including all forms of carp and goldfish) as fishing bait. Carp is native to Asia, but has been spread by humans on all continents except Antarctica. As a very active swimmer, he is able to cope with flood currents in rivers and jump barriers up to 1 meter high. Commercial fishing can help keep carp numbers under control, especially if it repeats over a period of time and if areas such as carp rearing “hot spots” are targeted. However, under normal circumstances, only part of the carp population is eliminated at each attempt, and since carp have a very high population recovery rate, numbers can quickly return to their original level. Carp is thought to have been introduced to Australia as early as the 1850s, during the period when “acclimatization” took place until fashionable and exotic species were released into our hostile environment to make them more compatible with a European way of life. The first documented release of carp took place in 1907, when the fish was introduced into the Sydeny Prospect Reservoir and thus received its title, the Prospect variety.

Although carp can often be swallowed on the surface of the water, it is better adapted to feed at the bottom of rivers and lakes. Their “trumpet mouth” is used to suck invertebrates, their favorite food, from vegetation and soft sediments. This is stretched and sorted from inedible sediment bites by the gill rakes and the muscular soft palate of the fish. While carp eat both plants and animals, plants usually make up only a small part of their diet, as their toothless jaws make it difficult to chew this fibrous material. It is very rare that they can catch small fish. However, their weaker eating habits can disturb or displace aquatic vegetation. Commercial harvesting has the potential to quickly eliminate large amounts of carp in some places and can affect the carp population if maintained. However, continued fishing usually brings the population to a point where it is not economically viable to continue fishing due to low market prices and high fishing costs. Market yields justify fishermen`s efforts only under certain conditions (e.g. high numbers of carp, proximity to markets and minimal fishing barriers such as hooks).

Public authorities or private companies may hire recognised professional fishermen to remove carp from a body of water they manage under a service contract. Harvested carp must be humanely killed and can be eaten, but can only be sold if caught by a commercial fisherman who then sells them. Alternatively, the caught fish can be used by a carp processing company. For smaller quantities, options include eating, using as pet food, or composting. However, if a short boat rod is to be used, whether with a large center spindle, side casting or multiplication roller, then a line with a breaking load of 40-50 lbs is more than enough, the size of the hooks would depend on the size of the fish you expect, and anything from 1/0 to 8/0 would be just as appropriate.
