RobertZilla Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Hello What type of fishing line do you use for river carp fishing and what is your experience with it? I'm using now Trabucco T-Force Pro Carp, and I wanna try something new. Yes, change it even if it's not broken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salokcinnodrog Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 Rivers are a totally different matter to lakes, continual flow in most, the chances of debris coming down with the current rubbing your line up, playing fish round potential snags that compared to a lake, you know nothing about. You want a decent line with good abrasion resistance, and you may need to consider the distance you fish, a thinner line will get less line pressure from the flow, meaning you can use less weight to hold bottom. Casting upstream or downstream makes a difference as well❗️ For river fishing I would be using Daiwa Sensor in brown, or Gardner Pro, light or dark. I actually landed a 28lb river carp over brambles, thick weed and rushes on 15lb Sensor in about 4minutes flat. I stopped the carp getting its head down towards the snags in the middle, and only had the nearside brambles to contend with before netting it. Sensor was a line I totally trusted, although only in brown. RobertZilla 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertZilla Posted March 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 Tnx and how important is sinking rate of a line? There are some marked as “sink as a brick”. In most cases I cast downstream. What’s the main difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
