Catching silver carp and carp on technoplankton: recipes, experienced tips

Today technoplankton (aka hydroplankton) is sold in every fishing shop. However, this rig, (as well as the technoplankton capsules themselves), used for catching silver carp,
carp ,
carp (less often other cyprinids) is quite simple and can be made at home. To assemble a working tackle for catching technoplankton, you will need a special installation based on a “trempel”, a float with a large carrying capacity, located on the surface of the water surface, and directly a capsule of hydroplankton in the form of a barrel, slowly dissolving in water and creating turbidity, this allows you to create the effect of a real plankton, which is part of the main diet of silver carp.

Technoplankton is designed to catch fish that suck in food during feeding. These fish include silver carp, carp, carp, bream and some others.

How hydroplankton capsules work

The composition of technoplankton is a combination of different components that are in certain proportions. As a rule, it is made in the form of a barrel or tablets, which, after sinking to the bottom, gradually dissolve, creating a turbidity of fine particles, which this fish is suitable for. Hooks are installed on the tackle on leashes that have different lengths. When a bait cloud appears, they are in it. The fathead, or any other fish, eating technoplankton, also sucks in hooks. The bait is quite versatile and is used on all water levels, in particular for bottom fishing. But you need to consider certain points:

• if it was decided to fish on technoplankton from the bottom , then it is worth using instant baits, with a decay time of up to 30 minutes;
• when fishing on a float or on the condition that the silver carp is not active, it is best to choose dense hydroplankton, which has a decay time of 2-3 hours.

What’s in the capsules

Technoplankton for carp fishing is made with different components in the composition. Therefore, you can choose tablets / capsules for certain fishing conditions. Despite this, most companies do not reveal all the secrets of cooking. So, fishermen, when making technoplankton for catching carp, silver carp or other fish, often have to set up various experiments. If in the process of making the bait the barrels are poorly compressed, then a small amount of water must be added to the composition. Its volume is calculated taking into account the cost of making one barrel: approximately 0.5 ml of liquid is required. To reduce the decay time of technoplankton in a reservoir, starch is usually added to it. Moreover, you must be careful, since an excessively large dose will lead to the opposite result, it will disintegrate much faster.

Filler

As a rule, flour from corn, oats, millet, peas, buckwheat is used for filling. You can also add crackers to the composition, which are ground to the consistency of flour. Any recipe for making technoplankton does not imply strict adherence to proportions. In this case, it is important to carefully choose all the ingredients, although a neat and delicate silver carp may ignore a particular smell. For example, most fishermen advise to fry crackers in a pan, so they have a more pleasant aroma. In addition, wheat flour allows you to create exactly the spot you need.

Adhesive component

It is necessary for technoplankton to have a certain density. But, despite this, the component should not complicate the process of decomposing the bait into small parts. If you make technoplankton capsules yourself, you can add to the composition:

• dextrin;
• maltodextrin;
• dry cream;
• granulated sugar.

In this case, the glue must be no more than 15% of the total number of components used.

Use of attractants

Attractants do not have to be used. This component is made either in liquid form or in powder form. The substance has a very concentrated odor, which makes it easier to lure the fish. As a rule, any recipe for technoplankton implies the addition of the following aromas: vanilla, honey, cherry, dill, garlic.

Pros and cons of using

When fishing for silver carp and other carps, hydroplankton has the following advantages:

• only this tackle allows you to create a large cloud of turbidity from small particles in the thickness of the reservoir;
• in addition to silver carp, this bait can also catch other types of carp fish;
• has a strong smell that attracts underwater inhabitants.

Fishing with technoplankton also has certain disadvantages:

• fakes that do not meet the specified characteristics are often sold;
• the bait from branded companies is quite expensive.

These disadvantages are leveled if you make technoplankton yourself. How to make a killer rig for catching silver carp, see the video: https://youtu.be/ri-GZCBYSLw

A simple drawing for making a mold can be found below, making a press machine for the production of technoplankton is not difficult with minimal skills and tools. But during production, the most important thing is to follow the recipe exactly.
Brief drawing [/ caption] The main device for making capsules or cylinders is a press, without it a classic barrel will not come out. You can buy a mold for making technoplankton, or you can make it yourself. The main stages are as follows:

1. You need to prepare a small piece of steel pipe with holes that are at the same distance.
2. Bolts are screwed into the holes, so they will fix the press.
3. All bolts must be equipped with nuts.
4. The container is inserted into this tube as an insert.

In the end, it is only necessary to fill the structure with the prepared mixture and lower the press machine.
There is another way to make a structure for pressing technoplankton with your own hands, the description and features can be seen in the video: https://youtu.be/YKwoSuQgI5c

Secrets of the seasoned

No matter how easy it is to make technoplankton, you must adhere to certain rules:

1. You shouldn’t add more than 5 components . In this case, it is necessary to “rely” on the fact that only their quality is needed, not quantity.
2. The bait must consist of heavy and light substances , so they can be properly distributed when dusting in a pond.
3. During the creation of barrels, it is necessary to always use compounds capable of forming a forage cloud in the water while in it. The presence of small particles separating from the compressed technological plankton and floating up or sinking along different horizons should attract silver carp. When suspended, this cloud looks like real plankton – the main food of many fish.

Many fishermen note that it is very easy to create this type of nozzle at home, however, at first it is worth buying / making a mold for making technoplankton, even the simplest one. This will speed up the process. The base composition must contain dry cream or similar ingredients. These components very quickly leave a trail of turbidity. If bottom fishing is carried out, then you should definitely use starch. As practice has shown, this is a pretty good option that will certainly interest fish. All factory made baits have a geyser effect. The same can be achieved when making casks with your own hands, if the recipe contains soda or citric acid. You can also use “Alkozeltser”.A well-chosen recipe and preparation method will cause the bait to disintegrate in about one hour. If technoplankton dissolves much faster, then fishing is ineffective in this case. Since the silverhead simply will not have time to approach the hooks, since all the ingredients will be in a different layer of water or get bogged down in the silt.

How to catch silver carp and carp with technical plankton – from rig to fishing

You can catch silver carp, carp and carp on a simple float rig or on a donk, the features of the configuration are not very different. For proper rigging you will need the following:

1. The fishing rod must have sufficient strength , since usually powerful and strong fish go to technical plankton. If there is a purposeful catching of trophy specimens, then it must be taken into account that they can weigh more than 40 kg, therefore the equipment must withstand this load. The length of the rod is selected for each specific case and will depend on the characteristics of fishing, as a rule, rods within 3.3-3.9 meters are used. Powerful silver carp fish [/ caption]
2. The float is selected from polystyrene, it is excellent if it is equipped with a feeder tube, which plays the role of an anti-twist.
3. A power reel is also chosen , it is best to purchase a size of 3000-3500, at least 200 meters of the main line with a section of 0.28-0.35 mm should be placed on the spool. In this case, the reel must have a bytrunner and a clutch.
4. The number of hooks will depend on the possible size of the intended fish, most often # 6-10 is chosen.
5. The weight can be used either deaf or sliding; it is attached to the main line or directly to the nozzle. The weight must be chosen taking into account the fishing conditions, since it depends on the depth, but most often this parameter varies within the range of 50-120 grams.
6. A trempel is a special design that you must have when fishing for technoplankton rigs. It is a triangle-shaped device made of high-strength plastic or steel wire. The trempel is equipped with a rod where technoplankton is put on – the only working bait. The design has special lugs, which are intended for attaching the main line and leashes with hooks.

Catching silver carp on technoplankton in summer – video from the shore: https://youtu.be/JEAL6fo5-JI The method of catching is simple, if the rig is assembled correctly. The prepared tackle is thrown into the place of fishing, the fishing rod is placed on a stand. The bite is monitored by the float (when fishing with a float rod), the tip on the fishing rod (for the feeder), the bite alarm (when using a donkey).
Technoplankton can gradually decay in water for up to three hours. When a fish approaches a cloudy cloud formed from the bait and actively sucks it in, it will definitely swallow the baited hook. The fisherman only needs to make the cut in time. The use of float equipment is advisable in cases where the silver carp feeds in the middle water horizon or in shallow water. This is mainly observed at night, although in some cases the fish go up during the day. You should not rush to fish out silver carp, like carp. He must first be tired, and only then brought to the shore. Large fish may not fit in the landing net, so you should definitely take a hook with you when fishing.
