Here, we will talk about everything you need to know about quiver tip fishing.
What is it?
Let's start with a short translation to explain what the quiver tip technique is all about. Quiver tip literally means "trembling tip". For this technique, the touch is indicated by the trembling of the rod, more precisely the tip, at the moment when the fish bites the bait in the open water. To start the shot, fishermen use a bait (or feeder), a cage containing bait or bait that will be used to attract fish. Depending on the feeder, it is possible to add bait in the cage to improve the results.
Quiver tip fishing, also called lead fishing or bait fishing, is a technique of Anglo-Saxon origin. It is very effective in catching species that shelter the bottom, and in general large fish such as carp, tench, bream....
This type of lead fishing has the advantage of being practicable in all weather conditions, allowing fishing in rainy or strong wind conditions. In addition, it can also be practiced regardless of the depth of the water. Thus, thanks to this technique, fishermen have the opportunity to fish far from the shore, even in bad weather.
What equipment to fish for the quiver tip?
The main advantage of quiver tip fishing is that it allows you to catch large fish with little equipment. For the rod to be used for this technique, its length must be between 2.5 m and 3.6 m (3m on average). However, you will need a longer rod of about 4 m if you plan to fish long distances. The so-called "quiver tip" rod is generally offered with 3 tips of different strength and resistance. The recommended reel is a fixed drum reel, which allows a fishing line 150 m long and with a wide diameter from 18/100 to 20/100 to be wound. As for the leader, choose a series of wires between 12/100 and 16/100.
Which baits are suitable for quiver tip fishing?
As far as primers are concerned, you have a wide choice in specialized stores. All you have to do is choose bottom type primers, the most suitable for quiver tip fishing. As far as bait is concerned, there are still many possibilities. For example, you can use bait such as seeds or live bait such as earthworms, maggots... Make sure your bait attaches well to the hook.
