1. Rods and Reels: The Core of Carp Fishing
The rod and reel setup forms the foundation of any carp fishing kit. With the right choice of gear, anglers can cast effectively, manage large fish, and enjoy a more successful and satisfying experience. At Ningbo Yongmiao Fishing Tackle Co., Ltd., we understand that each fishing situation requires specific equipment, and as such, we offer a range of high-quality rods and reels tailored for carp fishing enthusiasts.

Carp Fishing Rods: A typical carp rod is characterized by its strength, length, and flexibility. Ideal rods for carp fishing generally range from 10 to 13 feet, with a test curve between 2.5 to 3.5 lbs, offering both sensitivity and the strength needed to handle powerful fish. For our customers, we offer rods made from carbon fiber or fiberglass, both of which provide the perfect balance of durability, sensitivity, and lightness. The longer the rod, the farther you can cast, which is crucial when fishing in large bodies of water or across a river. For optimal performance, a medium to fast action rod is typically recommended. This allows you to cast long distances while maintaining the strength required to fight a carp once hooked.
At Ningbo Yongmiao Fishing Tackle Co., Ltd., we have developed and fine-tuned a series of carp rods that cater to the needs of both seasoned and novice anglers. With custom-built, high-end models and budget-friendly options, we cater to a wide range of carp fishing styles.

Carp Reels: Equally important as the rod, the reel must have a large capacity spool and a smooth drag system to handle long runs and powerful fish. The big pit reel, commonly used in carp fishing, is designed for long-distance casting and managing large amounts of line. We focus on producing reels with features like an anti-reverse mechanism to prevent backward handle movement and a line lay system that ensures even distribution of line on the spool.
The drag system in a reel should be smooth enough to provide control when the fish runs, preventing line breakage. We offer a variety of reels suited to different fishing conditions—from freshwater lakes to fast-flowing rivers. Our products are designed to perform under the toughest conditions, ensuring that anglers enjoy a smooth and reliable experience throughout their fishing sessions.
2. Bait and Rigs: Attracting and Hooking the Carp
In carp fishing, your bait and rig setup can be the deciding factor in whether or not you land a big catch. Carp are often cautious feeders, and presenting the right bait in the right way is vital to increase your chances of a successful catch. With years of experience in the carp fishing Tools industry, Ningbo Yongmiao Fishing Tackle Co., Ltd. is proud to offer a range of bait-related products and specialized rigs that help anglers optimize their carp fishing efforts.
-
Baits: Boilies are among the most popular and effective baits used in carp fishing. These dough-based pellets are available in a wide array of flavors, sizes, and nutritional profiles, making them adaptable to different environments and carp preferences. We produce premium-quality boilies in various forms and flavors, such as fruity, spicy, and fish-based options. The texture and scent of our boilies have been specially designed to attract carp and encourage feeding.
In addition to boilies, other bait options such as corn, pellets, and tiger nuts can be used depending on the fishing environment and the carp’s feeding habits. The right bait choice can depend on seasonal conditions, the specific species of carp being targeted, and water clarity. For example, during colder months, smaller and slower-sinking baits may be more effective, while in warmer months, larger and more brightly-colored baits can attract more attention.
-
Carp Rigs: The rig is the setup that holds your bait and hook, and it is critical to presenting your bait in a way that convinces the carp to take it. One of the most popular rigs used by carp anglers is the hair rig. This design allows the bait to be positioned away from the hook, which increases the chance of a secure hookset when the fish bites. Our company offers a range of rigs that are easy to use and perfect for various carp fishing conditions. Whether you are using a pop-up rig, zig rig, or chod rig, each rig is designed with specific carp feeding behaviors in mind.
The sliding rig, for example, allows the carp to take the bait without feeling resistance, which can prevent the fish from spitting the hook. Our rigs come pre-tied, making setup easier for anglers. Additionally, we offer a wide variety of hooks, from size 4 to 10, all forged for strength and sharpness to ensure reliable hook penetration.
Another essential aspect of successful rigging is the leader line. A good leader can help avoid snags and abrasion in rough waters while providing the durability needed to land large fish. We offer high-quality fluorocarbon and braided leader lines that are virtually invisible under water and resistant to wear.
3. Accessories and Maintenance Tools: Enhancing the Fishing Experience
While rods, reels, and bait are the primary tools for carp fishing, accessories and maintenance tools can significantly enhance your fishing experience. At Ningbo Yongmiao Fishing Tackle Co., Ltd., we know that comfort, safety, and gear upkeep are just as important as the fishing equipment itself. As a company committed to innovation and quality, we provide a wide range of accessories that can make every carp fishing trip more successful and enjoyable.
-
Landing Nets and Cradles: A high-quality landing net is essential for safely bringing in your catch. A good landing net should have a deep, soft mesh that minimizes the risk of injuring the fish. Carp, especially large ones, require gentle handling, and using the right net is crucial for their safe capture and release. We offer landing nets with reinforced frames and large, soft mesh nets that provide the perfect balance of strength and gentleness.
Many experienced anglers also use carp cradles or unhooking mats, which provide a soft and secure surface for unhooking and photographing large fish. These accessories help prevent injury to the fish and reduce the risk of stress during handling. Our cradles and mats are designed with the utmost care for the fish’s welfare and angler comfort.
-
Keepnets and Carp Slings: When you want to temporarily store a carp before weighing or photographing it, a high-quality keepnet or carp sling is essential. Keepnets are designed for holding multiple fish safely and are often used in competitions. Our keepnets feature durable, fish-friendly material that ensures proper water flow and minimal stress on the fish. The carp sling is designed for safely weighing large carp without causing injury, offering secure support and gentle handling.
-
Fishing Chairs and Rod Pods: Carp fishing often involves long hours of waiting for the perfect bite, making comfort a crucial consideration. Fishing chairs specially designed for carp anglers often feature adjustable legs and padded seating to ensure long-term comfort. We offer a wide range of durable fishing chairs that can be adjusted for height, providing comfort on uneven ground. Rod pods, which hold your rods in place, are another essential accessory. Our high-quality rod pods are designed to hold multiple rods securely, helping you stay organized and focused on the water.
-
Maintenance Tools: Regular maintenance is key to ensuring the longevity of your fishing gear. At Ningbo Yongmiao Fishing Tackle Co., Ltd., we provide a range of cleaning and maintenance tools to help you keep your tackle in top condition. From rod and reel cleaning kits to line spoolers, our products ensure your gear remains functional and ready for use. Proper maintenance prevents issues like tangled lines, damaged reels, or corroded rods, which can compromise your fishing experience.
In addition, bite alarms, which alert you when a fish bites, are an indispensable tool for long-distance carp fishing. Our bite alarms are sensitive, adjustable, and designed to withstand various weather conditions.
