DrKaOs Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Guys i'm targeting this fish for the first time, some hint? At the moment i'm trying at the pond in Tuba, as seems to be the best spot for the fish habits, but nothing, i got some Black Buffalo, lot of Common Carps, Wild Carp, Grass Carps but ZERO Buffalo. I'm fishing with Loop Rig and In-Line Rig using 22Kg leaders and hooks from 2 to 1/0. Baits: Freshwater Krill 14 and 18, Tuna 16, Halibut 14, Spice Mix, etc. Someone can point me in the right direction please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the best luck with Freshwater Krill and I would either stick with the size 2 hook or maybe even try a 4. Loop rig and that leader should be fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKaOs Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Thanks for the hints @Crucian, didn't had luck on 138:99, but got the same some Buffalo on 131:121 using smaller hook (from 2 to 4) and using a smaller leader (17Kg)... Now is time to catch a trophy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you help please What are you using for a setup? Once you have a flouro leader 22 or under you should be fine. As I said I use a 2 or 4 hook, I seemed to have better luck with the 4.

Depois de ter um líder do flouro com 22 anos ou menos, você ficará bem. Como eu disse que uso um gancho de 2 ou 4, parecia ter melhor sorte com o 4. I use Loop Rig Line: Snake Power Brid 50LB SMO 300M (22.8KG) Leader: 22.5KG Hook: 1 and 2 Bersek Hooks Ultra Series But i dont catch Buffalo...i catch Grass Carp and Common Carp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKaOs Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 @Vascodamm29 Try to use a 17Kg leader, i have increased a lot the bite rate in this way, hook size 4 Ultra or Bloody, Freshwater Krill or Black Pepper and Fish small size are working well for me. Anyway Buffalo isn't an easy fish to target as there are many carp species in the same spot and Grass/Bighead dont give you the time to wait for Buffalo So for each Buffalo you get 7-8 carps (even big ones). I'm experimenting method rig in one rod and seems to have less carps and same Buffalo, but i'm not yet totally sure 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

De qualquer forma, Buffalo não é um peixe fácil de atingir, pois há muitas espécies de carpas no mesmo local e Grass / Bighead não dá tempo para esperar Buffalo. Assim, para cada Buffalo, você ganha de 7 a 8 carpas (mesmo as grandes). Estou experimentando o método rig em uma haste e parece ter menos carpas e o mesmo búfalo, mas ainda não tenho certeza Tks for help me...i go now try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
