A fishing rod is used in Minecraft to catch fish. After all, you need to eat! So craft a fishing rod and go fishing! The fishing rod also has the ability to attract mobs and other players. One fishing rod can be used 65 times. Making a fishing rod is quite simple, take 2 threads and 3 sticks.
You can fish in all reservoirs, including artificial ones. How to catch fish, you ask? And like this:
— in order to cast a fishing rod, press the right mouse button and wait until the float is completely submerged;
— we pull out the fishing rod as soon as the bite starts, that is, the float goes under water 2-3 times. The fish should immediately be in your hands! If not, try again. And most importantly, the hook should not hit any block, otherwise nothing will work.
Using carrots and a fishing rod, you can craft a fishing rod with carrots and use it to control a saddled pig. It is enough to sit on it and indicate the direction of movement with the cursor; to accelerate, use the right mouse button.
Ride the pig! A fishing rod with a carrot allows you to control a pig in Minecraft. To prevent a friendly mob from wandering stupidly around its surroundings, not knowing what to do with itself, make a fishing rod, attach an ordinary carrot to it and go exploring with discoveries. To create the desired Minecraft item and equip it with a carrot, follow the simple instructions.
The craft is simple: a whole fishing rod + a sweet carrot. Enchanted fishing rod gives an enchanted fishing rod with carrots. Riding a saddled pig through the world of Minecraft - fun activity! You can go anywhere (cursor control, press RMB for speed). Maximum speed pigs - about 7 blocks in one second. Be careful with the saddled pig, she is afraid of everything. She can automatically overcome an obstacle of one block, but a high threshold and falling into water cause her damage. The pig's damage is your damage.
You can catch fish with a fishing rod with a carrot. An omnivorous friendly mob, the pig, will eventually eat the carrot, but the fishing rod will remain. It doesn't cost anything to attach a carrot to it.

Carrot on a Stick English name fishing rods with carrots in Minecraft.
If a simple fishing rod in Minecraft is a tool and equipment for fishing, then a fishing rod with carrots is an item for a completely different purpose, belonging to the “Transport” section. It is the fishing rod with carrots that allows you to control the movement of a pig with a saddle, making the ride more or less manageable when the player sits on it. Although, of course, the addition of horses to the game made riding piglets less interesting, since they are more difficult to control and slower than horses. But at least it's fun. If you stand next to a pig or move on foot, holding a fishing rod with a carrot in your hand, then this object will also attract the attention of the animal, and it will follow the keeper of such “wealth”.
A pig with a saddle, and the player has a fishing rod with carrots - everything is ready for the ride.

How to make a fishing rod with carrots in Minecraft
To craft a fishing rod with carrots, you will need a separate fishing rod and carrots. A fishing rod is made from 3 sticks and 2 threads. And carrots will grow without any problems in the garden or obtained in another way.
Note that for crafting a fishing rod with carrots in Minecraft 1.13 (17w47a), a fishing rod of any strength is suitable.
Strength is lost during operation. Two damaged items can be repaired at the workbench, when the durability of these items is summed and 5% durability is added. If a fishing rod with carrots breaks, it turns into a regular fishing rod.
A fishing rod with carrots attracts piglets: both with and without a saddle.
How to use
Before using carrot rods for their intended purpose, you need:
- Pig.
- The saddle put on her.
- The fishing rod itself with carrots.
When a player sits on a pig, which requires a right-click, and picks up a fishing rod with carrots, controlled movement will begin on land, but not in water. The animal will move in the direction the rod is pointed. You can imagine that in front of the pig’s muzzle there is always a carrot attached to a fishing rod, and it seems to rush towards the vegetable. If the carrot is “turned”, of course, by a player sitting in the saddle, then the pig goes there too. The speed will be 4 m/s or 14.4 km/h, which is very good for a small animal.
If you do not sit on the pig, but hold a fishing rod with a carrot in your hand, all the pigs will follow the player. As evidenced by the previous image. And the next picture shows the ride, although the second rod in the left hand does not play any role.
The carrot rod controls the pig.
The pig can speed up if you press the "use" button while holding a fishing rod with carrots in your hand. After a few seconds, the animal’s speed will be up to 8 m/s, that is, 28.8 km/h. The acceleration is not eternal, but lasts 40 seconds. At the same time, the fishing rod loses 7 units of strength. Since Minecraft 1.9 (16w05b), strength is reduced only when using acceleration, but not when simply driving.
Acceleration of movement.
The pig is controlled exclusively with a fishing rod and carrots. In this case, the usual WASD keys are not used. You can’t just stop a moving animal - to do this you need to get off the saddle, and this is the Shift button.
Fishing rod with carrots can be enchanted
If any item can be enchanted in Minecraft, then someone probably needs it. So there are several charms suitable for a fishing rod with carrots.
№ | Tools | Name | What gives |
34 | Strength Unbreaking |
With some degree of probability, the strength will not decrease. | |
61 | Lucky fisherman Sea luck Luck of the Sea |
Increases the chance of catching treasure. When fishing, reduces the chance of catching garbage. | |
62 | Bait Lure |
Increases the chance of catching fish. Reduces the chance of catching trash or treasure by 1% per level. | |
70 | Repair Mending |
Uses experience to repair an item in your hands or armor slots. | |
71 | Curse of Loss Curse of Vanishing |
Causes an element to disappear upon death. When the player dies, the item disappears instead of falling to the ground. |
Here it must be said that since version 1.8.2 (pre7), crafting a fishing rod with carrots using an enchanted fishing rod removes all enchantments.
A homemade fishing rod, like all others, consists of elements that are described in the previous subparagraph of the article. The main element of any fishing rod is the rod. Yes, we are used to the fact that our usual fishing rods consist of parts. They are easy to use and transport. But we were going to survive, and not show this fishing rod to everyone.
So what is a fishing rod? This is the main element of the equipment, which serves as a shoulder when fishing. It determines the length of the rod and the amount of line we need to use.
The holder must be smooth, durable and light. These are the standard characteristics of any fishing rod. But it will be very difficult to find this in nature.
In order to choose a holder, you need to decide on the size of the future fishing rod. Having decided on the sizes, we begin the search. The ideal material for a fishing rod in nature would be wood. The wooden device is easy to use.
The ideal tree would be maple, ash, hazelnut and other trees. You should not make a fishing rod from oak or poplar. Oak is heavy and poplar is fragile. In general, you need to look at the strength characteristics of each tree.
When you have found a suitable workpiece, clear it of twigs and small branches. After this, proceed to attaching the fishing line.
In times of shortage, fishermen had to figure out what to make fishing gear out of. Fishing rods were made from simple branches. Rings and coils are made of wire. The float is made of bird feathers, and the fishing line is made of wood, or other available material.
And they did it so well that with such rods they were able to catch fish for dinner, but also return home with the catch. Times change, but our people’s habits of making fishing rods remain. But the choice of materials has become more diverse.
The most common materials for making fishing rods:
- metal rod;
- wooden pole;
- bamboo core;
- fiberglass;
- composite materials.
The rod for side nodding must meet the following requirements:
![](https://i0.wp.com/klevyj.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/bokovoj-kivok-dlya-letnej-rybalki-foto-1.jpg)
The main element of any fishing rod is the rod. It can be of any length, which allows you to fish both near the shore and at a significant distance from it. Before you make a fishing rod with your own hands, you should learn more about such an important element as the fishing rod. Both the casting distance and the hooking efficiency depend on it. According to their design, fishing rods are divided into several types:
- flight feathers;
- match;
- plug;
- Bolognese (telescopic).
The simplest and most common fishing rod is the fly rod. This is a wooden or bamboo blank 2-4 m long, designed for fishing from the shore or boat. Typically, such a fishing rod does not have a reel, and wire hooks located at the bottom of the rod are used to wind the fishing line.
Match blanks are used for long-distance fishing. They usually consist of 3-4 legs and have a length of 2-3 m. Their design allows you to cast the tackle more than 50 m. Match fishing rods are equipped with special high-speed spinning reels, which makes it possible to quickly reel in the fishing line from a long distance.
For fishing in places overgrown with aquatic vegetation, plug forms are used. Their distinctive feature is a special design that allows you to change the length by adding or removing knees. They are also equipped with spinning reels.
Bolognese or telescopic rods are the most universal type of blanks, familiar to every angler. Their main advantage over others is their ability to fold, which is very convenient for transportation.
This is how the side fishing rod came out, made by hand. By the way, it may be suitable for some types of winter fishing. The cost of the product without the coil was approximately 1.5 USD.
As a live bait float rod, it is better to give preference to Bolognese tackle, with reinforced guide rings and a high test value, which is in the range of 50–70 grams. The length of the rod varies from four to seven meters, which depends on the fishing distance.
The universal telescopic blank with medium action covers any fishing conditions. Fishing for pike with a float rod falls into the category of dynamic, requiring frequent recasts, and the rod should be selected from the lightest materials, which directly relates to carbon fiber and combined carbon fiber options.
Particular attention is paid to the device for attaching the coil, which in the best offer looks assembled from metal components that form the mounting structure.
fishing line
Fishing line. By this word, we mean a classic fishing line or a strong rope that serves to connect the hook to the rod.
Fishing line must have the following characteristics:
- Strength;
- Elasticity;
- It should be thin.
If you are lucky and have a classic line in your inventory, rejoice. Otherwise, you need to make a homemade one with your own hands. A homemade fishing line must meet all the necessary characteristics.
It is difficult to find a strong rope that meets the above characteristics in nature, but it is possible. Such a rope can be made from hair (by weaving), the bark of young trees (willow and the like), grass (nettle and others).
If you have fabric, you can unravel it into threads and weave, using the braid method, a homemade strong thread. This work takes a lot of time, but the effort can soon pay off.
If you have found the fishing line, you need to proceed to the next step, finding the float.
Float for pike
A fishing rod float is a device used to signal a bite. That is, when the fish begins to eat the bait on the hook, the float signals us about this and we must hook the fish.
In order to give signals, the float must be above the water and float. This is where the main characteristic of the float emerges. It should be lighter than water. In addition to being light, it should be noticeable.
Taking into account the above characteristics, we can conclude that the ideal material for the float would be wood. Indeed, wood is the most accessible material in nature.
I would like to say that large bird feathers can be used as a float. Not the whole feather, but its central part, the stem.
A fishing float is made with your own hands in the shape of a small stick (10–15 cm), barrel-shaped, for buoyancy. Then, it is secured to the fishing line using fasteners of any kind.
The next attribute of the fishing rod will be the sinker.
This is an analogue of summer tackle only with a very short rod. This design is suitable for catching white fish at temperatures from 0 degrees and above. It is a short (about 30 cm) whip without a whip with a reel. A float serves as a bite alarm. The good thing about this rod is that it is extremely simple. The downside is the impossibility of any kind of bait play.
Float tackle is easy to make yourself. The material for the handle can be cork or foam plastic, the pole is made of hard wood, the reel is made of a piece of thin plywood or plastic. You can make it from aluminum wire or even just use two nails driven into the handle. Floats are made from feathers or cork, sinkers are made from a piece of sheet lead.
For winter fishing You can make a winter fishing rod with your own hands and from a champagne cork. It’s better to just buy hooks and fishing line in the store.
The attachment for this tackle is bloodworms, maggots, and worms. The catch usually contains peaceful fish:
- roach;
- bleak;
- silver bream;
Floats are made of foam or balsa, using barrel-shaped bodies with a short antenna and keel.
Important! It is advisable to have the color of the alarm in bright red or crimson tones, which most attracts the angler’s eye when the float is on the water.
The weight of the float is selected based on the weight of the live bait with an increase in quantity to the weight of the fish of approximately 5–7 grams. A pike float fishing rod is rarely equipped with floats that exceed a mass of 20 grams. A practical option is to use a sliding type of float, which covers fishing conditions at different depths without reconfiguring the main parameters of the equipment.
DIY winter fishing rod
The fishing rod is fishing tool consisting of several components. A classic fishing rod consists of:
- Rods
- Fishing lines
- float
- hook
- sinkers.
Fishing rod classification:
- Flywheel is the simplest option that came to us from antiquity. The peculiarity of the design is in the blind equipment (there are no guide rings partially or completely, the fishing line is attached without a drum). This homemade fishing rod is the most versatile for summer fishing.
- Matcha - used for catching large fish from a long distance, the so-called " match fishing" This gear has guide rings and a spinning drum. This tool is suitable for large and complex fish, which does not come close to the shore.
- A plug is a long tackle with increased rigidity and lightness. This fishing rod requires careful handling of each element, since any careless movement can lead to breakage of an expensive rod.
Let's celebrate! It is best to use lightweight materials when making a fishing rod. The priority is a fishing rod made of wood. Bamboo gear is very light and durable.
Made from bamboo
Don't try to make fishing tackle from solid bamboo, since most likely you will end up with a product that is curved near the nodes with residual deformation after bending. To obtain a long rod with the correct action, it must be made up of several legs.
To do this you need:
- Select several bamboo strands.
- Select suitable lengths from the rods to obtain a rod of the required action.
- Start planting the tubes.
Brass is a very durable material and resists corrosion. It is better to make connecting tubes from this metal. Brass connections will not become loose, which will ensure the durability of the product.
You should not make thick tubes; this will overload the rod and disrupt its structure. Cut tubes with lowered legs form a smooth transition from a rigid tube to a bendable rod, which will protect the tackle from breaking.
The tubes are placed in a hot state. Keep the bamboo and pipe 15-20 cm from the flame, avoiding charring. Using a smooth metal object, roll the ends of the softened bamboo.
Lubricate the tube and bamboo with glue and place it on the rod. Then, in the center of the internodes, on the flat side of the bamboo, we make small holes of 1.5-2 mm. We do not make holes in three internodes from the top and five from the butt of the rod.
After which it is necessary to edit the rod knees in the nodes. The edit is also carried out using heating. It is carried out until the rod becomes perfectly straight.
Then the rod is assembled and, strengthened at an angle of 45°, a load weighing from 200 g to 1 kg is suspended from the end, depending on the thickness and purpose of the rod. This helps evaluate the rigidity of the fishing rod. The weak points discovered after such manipulation are heated, which increases the rigidity of the bamboo.
Then the product must be allowed to cool and the bending curve must be checked again. If the outcome is unsatisfactory, the rod is again subjected to selective heat treatment.
Note! The rod has acquired the necessary strength, it’s time to seal the drilled holes. To do this, drill out conical plugs from wood, coat them with oil varnish and insert them into the hole. We cover the entire product with the same varnish.
PVC
A simple PVC pipe with a diameter of approximately 15 mm is ideal for such a fishing rod. The manufacturing process in this case can be described in the following steps:
- We cut a fifteen-centimeter piece from the PVC.
- We attach a coil or two wire staples as a mat.
- Now, for more convenient use, you need to insulate the handle. To do this, you need to glue foam or cork to it.
- We close the ends of the PVC with plugs, and before doing this we put a weight in the fishing rod for stability.
- We drill a hole for the whip, it should be in the plug of the front part of the PVC pipe.
- Insert the whip and legs. The legs can be made from a piece of plastic or wire.
You can also add a nod or pass rings.
From an ordinary stick
It is known that most large fish live and feed near the bottom, so to catch a decent specimen, you will need special gear. You can buy it in a store, or you can use this method to make a fishing rod with your own hands.
To assemble the donk yourself you will need:
- telescopic rod 2-3 m long;
- spinning reel;
- main line about 100 m long with a cross-section of 0.25-03 mm;
- fishing line for a leash 50-70 cm long with a cross-section of 0.15-02 mm;
- feeder (feeder, spring, nipple, etc.);
- lead weight (50-70 g);
- hook No. 6-10;
- bell or electronic bite alarm.
The design of a fishing rod for winter fishing is significantly different from the float gear we are used to. Its main role is to play with bait and timely hook the catch. Fishing is done by hand by pulling the fishing line without the use of special reels. Jigs or micro-spinners are often used as bait. Sometimes bloodworms or maggots are used.
There are many types of winter fishing rods, differing mainly in their shape:
- regular winter;
- "filly";
- "balalaika".
The usual winter tackle is a short rod (whip) with a handle and a reel with fishing line. The blank itself is similar to the tip of a telescopic fishing rod and has approximately the same length.
"Filly" is a variety winter fishing rod, where the rod is a kind of reel, made of hard foam, having a whip in its design.
The most popular winter gear is the balalaika. It is made in such a way that the reel with fishing line is located inside the handle, which is shaped like a Russian folk instrument. This is very convenient both during transportation and during fishing.
All of these designs for winter fishing are quite simple. But how to make a fishing rod with your own hands to fish in winter? Better yet, come up with some universal option, suitable for both summer and winter.
The optimal solution would be to use the same technology used to make a simple onboard fishing rod. The only thing you will need to think about is how to properly adapt the reel, because inertialess models are absolutely not suitable for winter.
Here it is better to use an ordinary plastic spool with a ratchet brake. An elastic whip with a nod, a handle and a reel is the most authentic and simple equipment for winter fishing.
Well, the choice of bait is up to the fisherman.
Reliable tackle will allow you to catch quite large specimens. It is worth considering its main characteristics:
- Line section;
- Form length;
- Monofilament length.
Any rod weighing less than 5 kilograms will do. Especially important indicators:
- length 3.5-4.2 m;
- test 100-150 gr.
Coil
Selecting a sinker
Why attach a sinker to a fishing rod? To answer this question, you need to understand what functions it performs while fishing.
The sinker, by its intended purpose, serves as a weighting agent for the float. That is, it pulls the float to the bottom, thereby giving it a vertical position. If you choose a heavy sinker, it will pull the float to the bottom, and if the sinker is light, the float will lie on the surface of the water.
We draw a conclusion. The gravity force of the sinker must be commensurate with the Archimedes force, which acts on the float.
The sinker is fixed below the float, almost at the very end of the fishing line. It is made of metal or stone.
Why almost? Yes, because you need to attach a leash below the sinker.
Convenient, efficient and reliable in installations is the use of a sliding single sinker in the shape of an olive. The weight of the lead weight is selected based on the weight of the float with the correction of its reduction in comparison with the weight of the live bait.
The movement of the load in relation to the leash is limited by installing a silicone stopper on the cord. Before installation, the olives visually check the load for the absence of burrs, which often appear when forming a hole.
If necessary, the metal warped by the puncture is cleaned off with a needle file, thereby eliminating the possibility of deformation and cutting of the fishing line in the place of loading.
Onboard fishing rod
Often, carp fishing occurs in reservoirs with stagnant water; in such conditions, you can use various types classic fishing rods or feeder.
Fishing rod
Match
Catching carp in reservoirs with clear water is usually more difficult, since you have to make long casts - a match fishing rod that meets the following requirements can help with this:
- The length of the rod is from 3.5 to 4.5 meters.
- The presence of an inertia-free reel with a friction brake, volume 3500-4000.
- The diameter of the working line is no more than 0.35 mm; you need to have a reserve of about 150 meters.
- Lead line with diameters of 0.22-0.28 mm.
- A special match leash with additional weighting to increase its sensitivity and ensure visibility over a long distance.
A fly rod is a classic float tackle; it is recommended to be used when fishing for carp in reservoirs with a large number underwater obstacles in the form of algae, coastal bushes and sunken snags.
Taking into account the resistance from the carp when pulling it ashore, you will need to select a sufficiently powerful fishing rod that can withstand high loads.
The gear must meet the following requirements:
- The length of the rod is from 4 to 5 meters; specialized carp models are best suited.
- The diameter of the working line is from 0.5 to 0.7 mm.
- Diameter leader line from 0.3 to 0.5 mm, length no more than 60 cm.
- Lightweight float with low weight.
- Hook No. 4-6.
Plug
The weight of some carp can reach 20 kg; the largest fish can be caught using a modern plug fishing rod.
You will need a model with a rubber shock absorber built into the rod tip; equipment will be attached to this part of the structure, looking like this:
- The diameter of the main line is from 0.25 to 0.3 mm.
- The diameter of the leading line is from 0.2 to 0.22 mm.
- A small and light float with an appropriate weight.
Let's celebrate! A properly selected plug fishing rod allows you to cast over a distance of more than 10 meters and suppress the resistance of large and strong carp, but it can only be used if there are no underwater obstacles.
A feeder is one of the most popular gear for catching carp, since with its help you can not only make long and accurate casts, but also simultaneously feed the selected area of the reservoir.
For fishing in calm water, the feeder should look like this:
- The length of the rod is from 3.3 to 3.6 meters.
- Inertia-free reel with baitrunner and friction brake, volume 3500-4000.
- The diameter of the working line is from 0.3 to 0.35 mm, you need to have a reserve of about 150-200 meters.
- The diameter of the leader monofilament is from 0.25 to 0.28 mm.
- Average weight feeders 40-60 g, heavier models are designed for other conditions.
- The equipment can be used in different ways; in standing water, it is most advisable to use a paternoster or an anti-twist tube.
Catching carp in rivers has a number of fundamental differences due to the presence of a current; you can use a feeder, fishing rod or hook, but they will need to be equipped in a special way.
The feeder used for catching carp in calm water is not suitable for rivers
- The length of the rod is from 3.6 to 3.9 meters.
- The monofilament line is replaced by a braided cord, since its diameter will need to be reduced to reduce the impact of moving water flows on the equipment.
- The average weight of the feeder should be 100-120 grams; lighter models will be carried away by the current.
- Equipment options - paternoster, symmetrical or asymmetrical loop, allowing to increase the sensitivity of the feeder.
During fishing, the feeder must be in a vertical position to reduce the windage of the fishing line.
When slow or average speed current on the river, you can also use a float rod; Bolognese tackle is ideal for catching carp in such conditions.
It must meet the following requirements:
- The length of the rod is from 6 to 8 meters.
- The reel is of an inertial type; it should first be tested by checking the ease of rotation of the drum.
- The diameter of the working line is from 0.3 to 0.35 mm.
- The diameter of the leader line is from 0.25 to 0.28 mm.
- A special type of float designed for fishing in currents; appropriate weights are selected for it.
Zakidushka
The zakidushka is the most common tackle for catching carp on fast-flowing rivers; it looks like this:
- The basis of the tackle is 30-40 meters of fishing line with a diameter of no more than 1 mm.
- A sinker weighing from 60 to 100 grams is attached to a piece of fishing line, and a rubber stopper is used as a stopper.
- The diameter of the leading line is from 0.6 to 0.7 mm, length from 20 to 40 cm; The leash is attached to a loop tied at the end of the main cord.
- A fishing line with equipment is tied to a tree or any other suitable object on the river bank.
With weighted sliding floats for long-distance casting, it is advisable to use an elongated antenna made of a peacock feather or something similar, as well as a large balsa body and a thin keel made of brass or stainless steel.
In some cases, the factory method may provide the ability to regulate the load capacity of the model. Additional weights come in the form of metal washers or tubes that can be screwed onto the thread. It exists in several versions: from 1 to 9 grams.
This allows you to quickly change the carrying capacity of equipment with a sliding float, easily adapting to new fishing conditions. When choosing the size of floats, take into account the depth of the water, casting distance and wind strength. If a rod with a sliding float is adjusted correctly, you will avoid the formation of a “beard” when casting.
Also remember that when fishing with a sliding float, it will slide easily on a stiff main line. It is best to use specially developed types for match fishing with a diameter of 0.18-0.20 mm, which have proven themselves to be excellent.
When fishing with a sliding float, the main weight should be placed well below it. Thus, after casting, the bait used sinks quite quickly to the bottom, while the float smoothly slides up the line.
For long casts, classic match reels are well suited, and a rod can be taken with a length of about 4.5 - 4.8 meters. Plug fishing rods consisting of three legs have proven themselves well.
They are even more convenient than telescopic ones and they make casting easy. If you use extremely heavy gear with a sliding float, when the load capacity reaches 30 grams, for convenience it is better to take a long rod.
You can fish with such gear after the ice cover has disappeared on rivers and lakes, during floods and floods. The absence of the usual float provides many advantages:
- Thanks to the vertical wiring of the jig, the fishing rod can be used in areas overgrown with reeds and heavily snags without fear of snags. Opportunity to fish from bridges, steep banks and rocks, boats.
- Precise delivery of bait to the fish's resting place.
- When fish are actively biting, a jig does not require live bait - the catchability of the gear increases.
- Simplicity of making a nod and its low cost.
- The lightness and mobility of the fishing rod allows the fisherman to fish a large area of water.
The requirements for the nod itself are quite strict - it must have sufficient elasticity to withstand the weight of the jig, and be moderately flexible to inform about the bite.
Advice. When choosing a nod for a specific jig, hook the hook to the tip of the nod. It should deviate from the horizontal by an angle of approximately 30 - 40. If more, the nod is too soft.
Side nods for summer fishing are usually made somewhat longer and larger than their winter counterparts. For a 6-meter fishing rod, its length is 20 centimeters. The nod must be painted in a dark color with a bright stripe, and for better perception a small ball or ring can be placed on the tip. It should not tire your eyes when you watch it for a long time.
There is no single option for how best to place the nod - perpendicular to the form or as an extension of the rod. The lateral position is better visible, while the longitudinal position makes it easier to hook fish.
The reel is attached to the rod using a special holder. The main line is passed through the rings and wound onto the spool. At a distance of 30-50 cm from its end, a loop is knitted onto which the feeder will be attached. Next, a leash with a hook is tied using the “loop to loop” method. Its length must be at least 40 cm. The load is located on a section of the main fishing line between the leash and the loop of the feeder.
After casting, the tackle is pulled up, and the rod is positioned on the shore at an angle of 450 to the water. For reliable fixation, use a special fishing rod holder. You can also buy it at the store or make it yourself. A bell or electronic signaling device biting.
An onboard fishing rod was invented specifically for fishing from a boat. It will also not be difficult to build such a tackle with your own hands.
A special feature of the onboard fishing rod is its small size. Usually its rod does not exceed 50-70 cm in length and serves only for short casting, hooking and reeling in tackle.
When fishing from a boat, landing fish is most often done manually using the main line. To make a side fishing rod we will need:
- plastic tip from a telescopic rod (whip) 50-70 cm long;
- wine corks (2 mushroom-shaped from champagne, 2 regular);
- a small spinning reel with a spool size of 1000-1500;
- passage ring from a telescopic rod;
- spring nod from a winter fishing rod;
- main line 50 m long with a cross-section of 0.25-0.3 mm;
- fishing line for a leash 50 cm long with a cross section of 0.15-0.2 mm;
- lead weight weighing 30-50 g;
- hook No. 6-10;
- drill with 6 mm drill bit;
- glue.
First, the handle is mounted. To do this, axial holes are drilled in all wine corks, through which they are mounted on the thick end of the whip. Mushroom-shaped ones are located along the edges, and ordinary ones are located between them. To improve fixation, you need to use glue, for example, “Moment”. The reel is attached to the handle using electrical tape or construction tape.
It is better to take the unloading (movable) throughput ring. It will be the only one on our design. We put it on the whip and proceed to install the nod. It will smooth out wave fluctuations and signal a bite. The nod is placed on the tip of the whip and, if necessary, fixed with glue.
The fishing line is threaded through a nod, a movable ring and wound onto a reel. The load is attached in a sliding manner, allowing it to fall to the place where the leash is tied.
You can also use special rubber stoppers to limit its movement. The length of the leash is 40-70 cm, depending on the fishing conditions.
The size of the hook should be selected based not on the size of the expected catch, but on the size of the bait. A float can be used if fishing is carried out not from the bottom, but in the water column.
Otherwise, its use is unjustified.
I use a fishing line with a diameter of about 0.2-0.25 mm, preferably with high elongation, so that short distance compensate for jerks of possible trophies and sharp bites of river chub. I don’t move it a lot, about 20-25 meters. I make the leashes from a slightly thinner fishing line (0.18 - in the current there is no need to make them too shallow, the fish takes it more boldly), with a length from 25 to 60 cm.
I prefer weights with a through-fastening “inline”, preferably with an anti-twist outlet. I select the weight in the range of 30-50 grams, depending on the strength of the current at the fishing site.
I place a silicone stopper above the sinker on the main line (it is used to prevent the load from hitting the nod during transportation). The stopper should be raised by 20-30 cm during fishing.
Float rod- the equipment for carp is the most successful, according to many fishermen. The simplest option is a fly fishing rod, which is easy to assemble with your own hands.
Keep in mind that in the case of carp fishing, the length of the rod must be at least 3 m and can reach 11 m, however, it is already inconvenient to hold such a bulky structure in your hands. It is worth noting that in order to catch carp on a float, a length of 6 m is quite enough if you are fishing from the shore.
For fishing from a boat, a rod length of 4-5 m is sufficient.
Installation begins with installing the selected reel into the mount, which is pressed tightly, without play or shatter, onto the rod blank with the mounts. After installing the spinning gear, a piece of monofilament is wound onto the spool.
To ensure a reserve, the cord is wound in a section of at least 50 meters, winding under load and ensuring that the turns of the material are evenly and consistently laid out. After winding, the line is passed through the winding rings and a sliding float is mounted on the cord, after which a sinker is threaded onto the line and a stopper or buffer bead is placed to prevent the knot that secures the leash from breaking.
After tying the leash to the fishing line, the hook required for the equipment conditions is mounted through the swivel. After this operation, you can confidently begin to catch pike with a float.
Measuring the leash
Leashes made of metal materials have long been a thing of the past, having successfully replaced equipment elements made of soft Kevlar and fluorocarbon fishing line. For float equipment They use leashes in sizes from 15 to 20 centimeters, which is enough to successfully and quickly deliver bait to the fishing zone, and does not restrict the movements that live bait makes while in the water.
Important! The leash must be equipped with a swivel, which prevents the lines from twisting and the accessory itself from tangling.
Attach the hook
The hook is the main element of the fishing rod. The success of fishing will depend on how durable it is and what kind of sting it has.
If you have a factory hook, you won't waste time making it. If there is no hook, you need to make one. The hook can be made from wire, a piece of metal, a pin, or a beer can. In the following articles on the site we will talk about how to make a hook in natural conditions, but for now we will assume that we already have a hook.
The existing hook must be secured to the fishing line using fishing knot. After the procedure of attaching the hook, we can proudly say that the equipment is ready.
When securing the material, it is worth repeating the entire design of the fishing rod. Select a holder. We attach a fishing line to it. We attach a float to the fishing line, below it is a sinker and a hook, respectively.
Have a good catch and fishing!
Today we will talk about how to make a fishing rod with carrots in Minecraft. With the help of such an element we have the opportunity to control a saddled pig. For this purpose, you need to sit on the animal, holding a fishing rod in your hands.
Craft and features
We control the direction towards the selected road. To speed up, press the right button of the manipulator. Speed limit movement will be 24 km/h. Starting from version 12w37a, a player-controlled pig overcomes 1-block obstacles automatically. If the animal unexpectedly falls into the water, it will be impossible to control it. In addition, if the pig receives damage, it will be completely transferred to our character.
To solve the problem of how to make a fishing rod with carrots in Minecraft, we will need the regular version of this tool. We transfer it to the crafting window. Combine with carrots. Such a fishing rod is consumed when driving. In this case, the tool does not disappear after the resource is completely exhausted. In this case, we will get a regular fishing rod. You can add carrots to it again. You can create such a tool from a fishing rod that is in working condition and has not been used in fishing.
History and mistakes
In version 12w36a, this tool was added as a new item. Since 12w37a, the carrot fishing rod in Minecraft is consumed while driving. It happens that the pig may freeze in place. In this case, you need to get off it and then saddle it again. Before edition 12w37a, pigs could not jump on blocks, and had to be prompted with the left mouse button. During acceleration, the animal flies 1 block, that is, it does not hit it, simply jumping over to the next one. While riding the pig, you can easily run through 1-block holes. These animals can swim.
Main element
In order to solve the problem of how to make a fishing rod with carrots in Minecraft, you need its regular version. Let's talk about its features. An ordinary fishing rod will not let us go hungry, because it allows us to eat fish. In addition, the tackle is also a weapon that allows you to fight hostile creatures. A product of this type can be used to attract various objects, such as swimming equipment. Intact devices are indispensable when you need to move a boat along the river.
