Help fishing with a sinker and hook?
I will try with what little info you have told about what type rod and reel, and what line strength you use. Carp will eat dough balls you can make and if you made them up in advance use corn water (drain a can of nibblet corn water into the container you store the dough in) 1) it is a useless tool for people who drink and play cards with a line out thinking they can call themselves fishermen 2) only what you haven’t read about in the library about fishing 3) Carp have tough damn mouths and bend thin wire hooks very easy 4) dough is good 5) size 3-6 hooks carp don’t have large mouths but they are really strong and tough. get thick wire hooks, Mustad and Owners I think might be to thin 6) depth is what tells you your leader length deep deep water (wrong place) shallow 4-6 feet is where you have your best results and 15-20 inches will be perfect 7) shape and size is of no matter the actual wieght is and if it’s too big when you cast it when it hits the surface and drags the bait in behin
