Colmic Carpina, float for canal and river
Colmic Carpina is a balsa float from the Carpina series, designed for fishing in waterways with medium flow. It belongs to the family of competition floats for river, canal and hold-back fishing, with a setup designed for use with a roubaisienne, telescopic rod or bolognese rod.
What it is for
This model works on barbel, crucian carp and chub with light rigs. Its setup makes it suitable for controlled presentations, both when precise hold-back is needed and when the fishing approach requires a slow downstream drift close to the bottom. In these situations the float must remain easy to read, follow the rig well and keep stable in the chosen water section. The series offers several weights and configurations, so the angler can select the model according to distance, current control and the sensitivity required on the hooklength.
Features
- Balsa body for a setup suited to light and medium current fishing.
- Carbon stem, useful for giving the float stability while working on the line.
- Thin solid plastic antenna for a clear read of bites and balance.
- Series available in multiple sizes, from 1.00 g to 2.00 g, to adapt the rig to different conditions.
- Models with progressive antenna and stem dimensions, so the choice follows the type of hold-back and the sensitivity required.
The Colmic Carpina range covers different needs for fishing in flowing water and lets you choose the most suitable float among the variants available on the Pescaloccasione product sheet.
