In our time, it is impossible not to love fishing. This is recreation, sports, entertainment, and solitude in nature, far from the noise of the city. It's also a good way to get yourself a delicious meal made from all-natural, fresh ingredients.

Definition

Fishing is an ancient craft. Archaeologists find adaptations for this trade 30 thousand years old. Compared to those times, today there are a lot of technologies and devices that make the process of fishing easier, more comfortable and more efficient. There are many tutorials for both amateurs and professionals, as well as a significant number of themed clubs and specialty shops. All conditions have been created for those who are interested in this exciting activity. However, many are wondering where and how to fish. More on this later.

How to fish correctly in different seasons?

The answer to this question is pretty simple. It is as follows. As soon as the sun begins to warm the earth and the first streams flow under the ice of the rivers, the fish, attracted by the heat, go to the shallows. This is a reliable fact, since the shallows are freed from ice earlier. You should know it. In lakes, ice lasts longer, but there is practically no flood turbidity in them. Therefore, fishing in them can be started earlier. For fishing, you need to choose quiet, windless places located in the sun. They are more suitable for the given fishery. After all, the fish strives for warm water. Therefore, there is always more of it.

When the river opens up, the fish go to the flooded floodplains. However, at this time, the bite is rather sluggish. Because the spawning period is coming soon. But then the fish, starving in winter, are actively fattened and perfectly caught on the hook. The so-called spring zhor sets in. Suitable bait during this period will be dung beetle larvae or earthworm.

In summer, the fish goes to the depths, namely to the places of the corresponding seasonal habitat. But it still goes to the shoals, as there is a lot of food there. During the day, if the weather is not cloudy, fishing is bad. Fish bite well either early in the morning, or in the evening and at night.

Fishing is especially bad when the water is blooming. In addition, the bait, which was good in the spring, should be replaced with caddis flies, grasshoppers, bread or cereals. Flying insects are also great. It is better to fish early in the morning or all night from late evening.

In autumn, the water cools down and the amount of feed is reduced. However, the fish actively feeds before hibernation. At the same time, she becomes more well-fed. Fishing in this case goes well in the daytime. After all, in order to eat off to the cold, the fish are busy hunting for food during the day. Predators bite best on spoons or live bait. This is important to know. Moreover, the spoon should be used in the off-season, when the object of fishing is not so picky.

By the first cold weather, the fish goes to deep places, preparing for wintering. Fishing conditions are also deteriorating: winds blow, it rains. After all, if you sit on the shore for a long time, you can freeze. Autumn fishing is rich in catches. But this is only before the onset of frost.

Winter fishing has its own delights. They are to the liking of many lovers of this craft. The cold season does not differ in abundance of fish. After all, some of the species go into hibernation, while others are half asleep due to the low temperature of the water. Fish such as catfish, crucian carp, tench and some others may not even be mentioned until the spring thaw. But, for example, pike, pike perch, perch and dace retain some activity even in cold weather. But at the same time, they do not always come out in shallow water. In winter, their mobility is much reduced.

Fishing rules

Everyone knows that in the past few decades, the ecological situation on Earth has only deteriorated, and some species of animals have simply become extinct. The same goes for fish. Due to pollution of reservoirs and indiscriminate fishing, beluga and sturgeon have practically disappeared from the rivers, and the number of catfish, pike perch, pike and many others has significantly decreased.

Therefore, everyone, before taking a fishing rod and going with it on the bank of the river, must learn how to fish correctly without breaking the law. In this regard, there are the necessary criteria.

The main points of the fishing rules are as follows:

• Free fishing for private purposes is allowed to everyone, on all bodies of water. In addition to nature reserves, corresponding nurseries and private reservoirs.
• Fishing is prohibited at a distance of less than 500 meters from dams, bridges or water locks. It is also not allowed to fish directly from such structures themselves.
• The catch for recreational fishing should not exceed 5 kg per person. This rule should be followed. Also, amateurs are not allowed to catch fish with nets and use piercing objects. The use of explosives or toxic substances is also prohibited.
• Fishing is allowed throughout the year. Restrictions and prohibitions on fishing are introduced only during the spawning period. This is done in order to provide fish with favorable conditions for reproduction. This ensures the maintenance of its numbers.

A fisherman who violates the existing rules pays a corresponding fine.

Fishing in the river

The running water is rich in a variety of edible animals. But in order not to fail in this case, you need to thoroughly prepare. You need to know what the river chosen for this purpose is. The place of fishing should be studied thoroughly in order to know every bump at the bottom. You also need to prepare complementary foods and know where to fish better.

You need to carefully consider the choice of gear. In this case, a large rod with a test, weighing at least 50 grams, is suitable. The reel should be selected based on the size of the potential catch as well as the thickness of the line. It is better to choose a heavier load here.

On the lake

In this case, there are also features. Fishing on the lake is fundamentally different from that on the river. These reservoirs have a different temperature regime due to the immobility of the waters. In summer, the abundance of the catch is greatly influenced by the weather. In any other season, a particularly good bite occurs 2-3 hours before bad weather. Also, during drizzling rains and on windy days, fish bite more actively. Fishing for many species is abundant in hail, stormy winds, or when the weather deteriorates sharply. In early spring, biting on the lakes is especially good in warm weather, and in summer - on a calm, cloudy day.

Wind plays an equally important role on the lakes. More precisely, its temperature and direction. The warm wind is favorable for the fishermen. A cold one, on the other hand, can make fishing unsuccessful. Winds from the north or east are particularly unfavorable. In particular, in the summer.

Also, the behavior of the fish depends on the size, shape, depth, type of coastline and other features of a particular body of water. In some lakes, even a light breeze creates a wave. On others, for example, located in a forest or among hilly areas, water can stand idle for a long time without movement. This phenomenon is called temperature stratification. This is an important definition. It means the division of the lake water into layers of different temperatures. And it is of great importance in the life of the inhabitants of the lake.

If the layers do not mix, the lower levels run out of air, which is needed by aquatic plants and other organisms closer to the bottom. When they die, they release gas, which in some cases can poison fish. This is a negative factor.

If there are clear temperature boundaries in the lake, then the fish stay closer to the surface, so deep fishing may not bring results. This is important to know. In such cases, knowledgeable anglers are advised to fish with live bait. Such a bait itself will adhere to the required temperature layers.

You should be aware that in large stagnant bodies of water there are always small currents. As a result, fish often stay in places where this phenomenon is more noticeable.

In winter, lakes are covered with ice much faster than rivers. Therefore, you can start fishing earlier. To make winter fishing as effective and enjoyable as possible, you need to thoroughly study the reservoir and the features of its regime in different seasons.

To have a rich constant catch, you need to study the reservoir well and closely monitor the weather. Only then will you imagine where to fish. In case of failure, you can change the location of this fishery.

How to fish at sea?

There are also many interesting points here. The sea is varied and immense. It has always attracted tourists, travelers, fishermen.

Only fishing in the sea is very different from this activity in fresh water. In this case, there are certain requirements.

Firstly, it is absolutely wrong to offer sea fish as bait something that its river congeners bite well on. In this case, an appropriate approach is required. After all, the local fish live in much more difficult conditions. There are much more predators here and the rule is: "Eat you or they will do it to you." You should know this. Most marine fish are predators. They are much more active and mobile than freshwater individuals.

A person who wants to try himself in this powerful element should first of all learn more about the fish he is going to catch. You also need to remember about the dangers that lie in wait for a person: storms, etc.

Tackle should be chosen depending on the type of fish, the weather and the place chosen for fishing. A rich catch can be obtained by fishing from the shore, it is also recommended to fish from a pier or boat. It is important to keep an eye on the weather. Saltwater fish are very sensitive to the smallest changes. Therefore, you need to choose good weather for fishing. So there will be no risk to life, and a rich catch is more likely.

Fishing with a spinning rod

With the right approach, there is nothing complicated here. Fishing with a spinning rod is a very interesting, gambling activity, and also, perhaps, more effective than fishing with a simple fishing rod. In this case, you do not need to bother about bait and complementary foods. However, many are wondering how to fish with a spinning rod. In general, this process requires certain skills and a good reaction. The spinning rod is suitable mainly for predatory fish. Next, we will consider this lesson in more detail.

In this case, the following aspects should be considered:

• Before fishing with a spinning rod, you should roughly determine the depth of the reservoir. The easiest way to do this is to throw the spoon into the water and count how long it will take to submerge. On average - one meter per second or two counts, with a weight of about 30 grams. The moment the load reaches the bottom, the stretched line is weakened. The spinning coil is then stopped. The bottom relief can be studied using a spoon with a special lead weight. It is necessary to make several postings and get a certain idea of ​​the nature of the holds.
• Next, you need to learn how to properly cast the hook, which has artificial bait for fishing. To do this, it is enough to practice a little. Next comes the improvement of the skill - understanding with what force to throw the bait, when to brake the line. All this will become evident on a subconscious level with the acquisition of experience.
• One of the troubles awaiting beginners who are just learning how to fish with these tackle is the surplus of abandoned line. They can become entangled, resulting in a so-called "beard". This can take up to half an hour of precious time from the angler. To prevent this nuisance, you need to slow down the reel by pressing on the edge with your thumb. The lure should be able to pull out all the feed line. The main thing is not to overdo it, otherwise the load will change direction and fly straight at the angler. It is worth starting to slow down when the spoon has not yet reached the water by a meter and a half. In strong winds - earlier. When the bait reaches the water, this is done without fail. So a "beard" is not formed, and the fish is not afraid of the noise from an abandoned spoon. A non-inertia coil is available today. Its peculiarity is that when it is thrown, it does not start to rotate quickly, but rewinds exactly as much line as the spoon needs to fly. With such a coil, the possibility of "beard" formation is practically excluded.
• The main thing in this fishing with the use of a spinning rod is to correctly play the "game" with a spinner. Artificial bait for fish should look like living: change speed, stop periodically, move in jerks, sink to the bottom. The ways of "playing" differ depending on the season.

Fishing with a line

Let's figure it out in this process. Learning to fish with a rod is easy enough. Although for a more complete success in this regard, not only skills are required. You should know well the fish that you plan to catch on the hook: its habits, spawning time, feeding. In this case, one should not neglect scientific encyclopedias. Everything, of course, will come from experience and observation. However, this will take a long time. The rod, hook, line must be chosen wisely.

To figure out how to fish with a rod, you need to consider the following:

Choose the right bait. In this case, you need to clearly know what you can fish for each type. This choice also depends on the season. For example, in the summer, fishing with a worm is considered not a very good idea. Better to take bread, cereals or bloodworms with you.

If the bottom of the reservoir is muddy, then you should carefully throw the hook with the bait. After all, if he gets stuck in the silt, then the fish will not notice him.

It is important to know where the fish are to stay. You also need to establish where it goes for the purpose of feeding.

It is necessary to study the habits, habits and features of the structure of fish in a particular reservoir, as well as what, how and when it eats. You also need to know at what water temperature spawning occurs.

In deciding how to fish with a line, knowledge of the reservoir itself is necessary. By the location of pits, stones, snags, you can fairly accurately determine where and what kind of breed lives.

You should also know that there are summer and winter fishing rods. This is because different seasons require different baits and fishing methods. Progress does not stand still, so fishing rod tackle is becoming more convenient and practical.

In general, the behavior of the fisherman plays a very important role. Namely: sharp blows on the bottom of the boat, loud steps along the shore, sharp sounds - all this will not in the best way affect the efficiency of this process. And how to fish if it swam away from the fishing place, frightened by the noise? Therefore, in this case, silence is essential. The fish usually reacts normally to a calm conversation on the shore. However, from loud screams and sudden movements close to the shore, she will quickly leave the place of fishing. This is a reliable fact. In this case, the angler will be left with an empty bucket. Walking loudly on the shore will be just as detrimental to the catch as moving shadows near the float.

It is not recommended to get a job fishing with several rods at hand. This will hardly increase the chances of nibbling. However, this will cause confusion. For example, when the float finally twitches, the fisherman may simply not understand which rod to grab. In addition, in this case, there is a high probability that the gear will get tangled.

For serious fishing it is better to buy a boat. With it, you can fish not only from the shore, but throughout the entire reservoir. To some, perhaps, this purchase will seem overhead and inconvenient (problems with transportation and storage). But this is a misconception. For example, inflatable boats for fishing are perfect. They are inexpensive and compact.

Outcome

All of the above will help everyone in deciding how to fish and what is needed for this. In this text, you can glean the required information in this area. It should be remembered that fishing is a popular pastime that is loved by many. Therefore, learning this craft for a long time should be enjoyable and fun. A bad catch is most often the fault of someone who does not know very well how to fish.

Float rod- this is the simplest and most affordable, not expensive tackle, which is used by many anglers today, despite the fact that it has undergone some upgrades to increase its efficiency.

The simplest float rod consists of the following components:

1. Rod. Its length can range from 4 to 7 meters. Rods shorter than 4 meters are not suitable for float tackle, as they reduce the casting distance, although, for example, when fishing from a boat, shorter rods will be more comfortable.
2. Fishing line. For the main line, you can use line with a diameter of 0.15 to 2 mm, and possibly more. It all depends on the fishing conditions, as well as the alleged specimens of fish.
3. Float. The float can be applied in any shape, the main thing is that it is properly loaded, which means it is sensitive. You can use both commercial and homemade floats, for example, made from goose feathers.
4. Sinkers. These are lead pellets that allow you to properly load the float so that only the working part of the float - the antenna - is visible above the water surface. The pellets are attached to the main line by pressing with pliers (you can use your teeth, since lead is a rather soft metal).
5. Leash. This is not a large section of thinner line than the main line. A hook is attached to it, and the leash itself is mounted after the sinker. The leash is not so alarming for the fish, and when hooked, only the leash will be torn off, which can be easily and quickly replaced.
6. Hook. The size of the hook depends on many factors that must be taken into account: the size of the fish, the type of fish, the thickness of the line, the size of the bait. Fish can be caught equally well with small hooks and medium sized hooks. Hooks of larger fish species such as catfish.

There are 3 main types of float gear:

• . Allows you to fish at distances of 1.5-2 rod lengths. With the help of such a rod, the bait is delivered to the fishing site with a simple wave.
• Plug rod. The length of such a rod can reach 20 meters. As a rule, these are very light rods, consisting of several components. No swings are required to get the bait to the right place.
• Match rod. Such a rod is used for fishing long distances than 20 meters, and also allows fishing in large waters and great depths.

A fly rod can be found without a reel and with a reel.

• A rod without a reel is a very simple option, but there is one problem: there is no spare line on the rod, therefore, if it breaks, you will have to mount the rig again.
• A reel rod is a very convenient option. It allows you to store excess line on the reel, which is also very convenient for transportation.

As a rule, many anglers (most) supply their fishing rods with reels because it is convenient. At the same time, you should not supply the flywheel rod with an inertialess, albeit the cheapest, reel, since this will make the trailer heavier and reasonably light enough tackle.

Rigging

For the simplest rig, you must have:

1. Lesku. The length of the fishing line is chosen depending on the length of the rod, and if you plan to install a reel, then the length of the fishing line is chosen with a margin. The diameter of the line can be from 0.5mm and more.
2. Float. If the float is purchased, then its weight is indicated on it, as well as its weight. If the float is homemade, then the loading will have to be carried out experimentally, picking up the pellets.
3. Lead pellets set. This kit can be purchased at a fishing store.
4. Set of rubber cambric.
5. Thinner line for leads.
6. Set of hooks №6-№10, according to international numbering. The hook is chosen so that it fits in the fish's mouth.

1. A reel is installed on the rod. As a rule, a modern rod has a special reel mount. If the rod is without a spool, the line will be attached to the rod tip.
2. First, you need to wind 15-20m of fishing line on the reel, after which the line needs to be passed through all the rings, winding it from the reel.
3. A float is installed on the main line, using rubber cambric.
4. Float loading. For this, lead pellets are used. By installing the pellets in turn, they ensure that only a thin tip, painted in bright colors for greater visibility, looks out of the water. allows you to feel the slightest bite. The smallest sinker (reserve) is installed in front of the leash.
5. After the "podpaska", a leash is attached to the main line, with a length of 20 cm. The length of the leash is determined experimentally during fishing. As a rule, a fisherman takes several leashes of different lengths with him on a fishing trip.
6. A hook is tied to the leash with any available and proven knot.

After carrying out all the above manipulations, we can say that the fishing rod is ready to be thrown into the reservoir, it remains only to put the bait on the hook.

general information

You can fish with such a float rod at depths of no more than 2-3 meters. The deeper the fishing depth, the shorter the distance you can cast the tackle.

For this, knowing the approximate depth, the float is placed on the tackle and thrown into the water. If the float is well positioned, then depth can be added. The fishing depth is set until the float takes a horizontal position, which indicates the true depth of the reservoir at the fishing point. Then it decreases by the size of the leash. This will mean that the baited hook will be directly at the bottom and you can start fishing for bottom fish.

Naturally, the fish will not bite on an empty hook and you need to attach some kind of bait to the hook. These can be animal baits or plant baits.

As animal attachments you can use:

• Dung or earth.

For vegetable baits, you can use:

• The dough is different.
• or peas.
• Barley or wheat porridge.

If the bite is not active, then you can plant sandwiches, that is, combine baits of animal and plant origin.

Fishing will be more effective if you feed the fish and try to keep it in place for as long as possible. For this, various bait mixtures are used. You can buy them at the store or make your own. Then, small balls are sculpted from the bait and thrown into the reservoir exactly in the place where the float will be.

For the preparation of bait mixtures, the following components are used:

• Pearl barley.
• Millet groats.
• Oilcake.
• Dill.
• Bran.
• Breadcrumbs.
• Other components.

If you have to fish in the current, then clay or earth should be added to the bait. Such balls will reach the bottom of the reservoir without any problems. To make the bait effective, you should add the same components to which the whole fishing is carried out: if fishing is carried out with a worm, then chopped worms can be added to the bait, etc. This technique makes the bait more natural and less alarming for the fish.

The purpose of bait is to lure the fish, not feed it. If fishing is carried out on a current, then the result from bait should be expected in 15-20 minutes, and if in calm water, then the full effect may appear much later. For a more pronounced effect, flavoring additives can be added to the bait mixtures.

You can buy, but expensive, bait from the following companies:

• Sensas
• Traper
• Pelican
• Dunaev.

As flavors, you can use:

• Hemp.
• Anise.
• Other components for different fishing conditions.

Let's summarize

Conventional float gear is used by many fishermen because it is simple, affordable and easy to make yourself. With this rod, you can catch both peaceful and predatory fish such as perch, rotan, etc. Many types of fish prefer animal baits, including predatory ones. As a rule, fish take such baits in spring and autumn, but they do not refuse in summer either, although in summer they are more fond of plant baits.

Fishing on the bottom gives great results, since most fish, such as bream, ide, silver bream, raft, perch, gobies, etc. lead this way of life. In stagnant water, on ponds and lakes, the most popular fish are crucian carp, perch, bleak, etc.

Flywheel, a simple fishing rod is indispensable when fishing from a boat. There is no need to cast far here, but at the same time, you can fish a large area, and you can fish in any place you like.

Summer fishing with a float rod - Video

From this article you will learn how to fish properly with a spinning rod, it is primarily intended for beginner anglers who are just starting to get involved in this type of fishing. The main purpose of the article is to show how to properly fish with a spinning rod. Learning to fish, you do this exclusively for yourself, so buying a diploma is absolutely unnecessary to show off your skills to friends and acquaintances. But after that you will be able to show off your catch.
First, when you start fishing you need to know how to cast the spinning rod correctly. The casting of the bait must be carried out, from the side, vertically or in a pendulum way. Lateral and vertical casting is done in order to throw the bait as far as possible, and pendulum for a short distance, where filigree accuracy is needed when casting.

Jig fishing

Probably not the easiest way is jig fishing. To do this, use a special head made of lead, with a silicone bait attached to a hook, a tee. The bait is thrown into the water and try to carry it in small jumps along the bottom of the reservoir. That is, we cast, wait until it sinks to the bottom, make a few turns of the reel handle, and again wait for the bait to sink to the bottom or get to the fish. The weight of the bait should be such that when falling, the pause is not too long or even insignificant.

Fishing with wobblers

The bottom of the reservoir is not always even, sometimes there are pits, channel edges, and driftwood where the cherished fish can be, and for newcomers to spinning fishing it will be difficult fishing, since in such conditions they can completely lose all their baits and be left with nothing. That's why it is worth fishing with wobblers. For example, if you are fishing for pike in the grass, surface wobblers can be used as poppers. This type of fishing is interesting in that everything here takes place in front of the fisherman. The main task is to make the wobbler move in jerks and create a squelching or gurgling sound that reminds predators of prey. You pull the tip of the rod, choose the slack in the line, and then hook it up and everything is as usual. Fishing with wobblers should be done in calm, calm weather.

Fishing with lures

When fishing with spoons, the tactics are the same as on wobblers, throw the spoon, hold it in jerks almost to the very feet, where the bite occurs. The bait should be cast along the grass, and not very deep places should be chosen. In such places pike and perch swim, which will certainly not miss your bait.
As for the choice of a place for fishing, everything is easier here, you just walk along the river and do fan casts, in places where there is a good approach to the river. Do not forget about places with grass, reeds, trees, snags where predators make their ambushes. If there is a bite, then stay in the same place, etc.
This is all that a beginner spinning angler should know.

Online hotel booking - this service is no longer exclusive, it is practically provided by all hotels around the world. It's one thing when only one person books a room for a couple of days, it is quite another thing if a luxury hotel is booked entirely for a week or two, for example, for solid business meetings, or for corporate events, luxurious weddings - booking a small cozy hotel - a very, very profitable thing.

For effective jig fishing on the current, you need the right tackle, the choice of which depends on the strength of the current, the depth at the place of fishing and the strength of the wind. For example, a jig on a river with a medium current requires the use of leads with a weight of 10-40 g and a step of 2 g. Incorrect rigging and incorrect rig weight are the main reasons why jig may be ineffective.

On small rivers with a weak current, jig fishing both from the bank and from a boat can be equally effective. As for large rivers with medium and strong currents, then in such conditions the prospects for fishing from the bank are significantly reduced.

Due to frequent hooks and limited wiring, it is much more convenient to fish on large and medium rivers from a boat.

Tips for jigging on the current:

1. Use different jig weights in 2 gram increments
2. When posting, the pause on the fall of the bait should be 2-3 seconds.
3. The thinner the line, the less it will be carried downstream and the further the cast will be.
4. In strong currents, avoid the formation of a large arc of the line, this will allow the bait to quickly fall to the bottom.
5. Try to fish at the border of the main stream and back stream.

Where to catch

When fishing a deep hole with a jig, it is worth starting from the entrance to it, going downstream by 10-15 m. With such relatively small segments they reach the exit from the hole, but if the place is promising and bites were observed, this section of the reservoir should be fished again along a different trajectory.

Casting direction - downstream or at an acute angle to it. The smaller the angle, the easier it will be to control the movement of the bait.

Shore jig on a small river

Jig casting and wiring

When, after casting, the bait touches the surface of the water, close the bow of the line, take out the slack in the line, tilt the rod forward at an angle of about 45 degrees and count the seconds until the lead reaches the bottom. Having recorded the amount of time it took to drop the load, in the future, you can determine the approximate depth in other places.

After the sinker touches the bottom, we slightly wind up the fishing line (literally 2-3 turns) and pause. The bait falls to the bottom again, and then the actions are repeated. In this way, the classic stepped wiring is carried out.

If it is possible to control the line sagging, the spinning rod is kept in line with the line, observing the rod tip as well. It will simplify the task of using a fluorescent braid, which is much better visible against a dark background.

If the current is too strong, there is no sagging of the line, and therefore it is necessary to control the wiring only by observing the tip of the rod. In such conditions, the spinning rod can be held already at an angle to the horizon or even in a position parallel to the shore. With respect to the vertical plane, the tip of the rod is held at an acute angle of 45-50 degrees so that the line comes out of the rod tulip at a right angle. This position of the spinning rod will make it easier to track the touch of the bait on the bottom of the reservoir.

The wiring diagram may vary. For example, the following method is considered a classic: 3 turns of the reel, pause, drop of the bait for 2-3 seconds and touching the bottom, and then repeat all actions. During such posting, the movement of the bait is a system of smooth jumps at the very bottom of the reservoir.

Another option for wiring is as follows: we sharply raise the spinning rod about 1 meter up and lower it back, taking out the slack in the fishing line with the help of a reel, and then pause for 2-3 seconds. With such actions, the bait rises sharply from the bottom and already smoothly descends backward, provoking predators to attack. To achieve the best results, you need to constantly experiment with wiring, not dwelling on just one method.

Jig fishing on a river with a weak and medium current allows you to use various lures as well. These can be popular silicones, cheap foam fish, spinners with a front load, and others. The choice of lures rather depends on the preferences of the fisherman himself and their availability.

Equally important is the way the baits are mounted.

There are three main jig installations:

1. jig head mounting,
2. silicone offset hook,
3. double hook silicone.

Determining the bottom relief

If you consistently make 3 turns of the reel, but the bait drop time suddenly increased by 2-3 seconds, this means that you have found an edge and the lead falls down the slope into the hole.

Situations are also possible when the touch of the sinker to the bottom is almost not felt, but the bait immediately begins to drag along the bottom, which is signaled by frequent twitching of the rod tip. In such cases, it is necessary to deliver the load with a lower weight or change the place to a deeper one. Alternatively, you can try to cheat by throwing the rig a little downstream, so that the latter pulls the line and the bait works effectively even with a large lead.

Reverse jig

Sometimes a difficult situation arises when the main strong current passes 50 meters from the coast, and a weaker reverse current flows closer. As a rule, bites occur precisely on their border, where there is often a sharp difference in depth. However, the bait is thrown beyond this border, because of which the line bends: half in one direction, half in the other. For this reason, the control of the bait becomes much more difficult.

To simplify the task of jigging in such conditions, it is necessary to set the load with the calculation of fishing on the main stream. The boundary of the streams is thrown only a little, and then the rod is raised high, the wiring is carried out along the edge and the line is quickly exhausted in the absence of bites.

Approximate scheme of fish sites and directions of flow

Places with snags are quite dangerous in terms of hooks, but at the same time they are quite promising, since many predators like to stand near tree blockages.

When fishing for snagged areas, it is necessary to more closely monitor the movement of the bait, especially during pauses.

If a hook occurs, do not pull too hard on the rig.

The following method of saving the bait from a cliff is very effective: we drop about 15-20 m of the line downstream, wait for it to stretch, and then make a sharp jerk with the rod towards ourselves. If it does not help the first time, the slack in the fishing line is selected and the procedure is repeated.

How to fish with a spinning rod - when and who can you catch?

Spinning is a fishing tackle for fishing with artificial or natural lures. This word comes from the English "spin" - to rotate. By itself, this tackle is a rod with through-rings and a mount for the reel on which the fishing line is wound.

The use of this kind of tackle, in comparison with a float, requires a very intense and active behavior from the fisherman. The spinning player is required to constantly search for and test various baits, "fishing" several areas, experimenting with methods of posting (fast, slow, uniform or using jerks).

The main task that spinning solves is the ability to cast the bait to the desired point of the river or lake.

How do you choose a spinning rod?

When choosing fishing accessories, you need to remember that there is no universal spinning rod. Some rods have been given the term "universal", however, specialized ones have always been considered more convenient.

When choosing this type of fishing tackle, you need to strive to ensure that the spinning rod is:

1. High quality, and was not any falsification. It should be bought in a good, trustworthy store. Its price cannot be cheap.
2. Easy. If the weight of the product exceeds three hundred grams, it is not very convenient to use it, its characteristics become worse.
3. Convenient. The rod should fit comfortably in your hand. You should install the coil right in the store and see what the weight distribution will be, how convenient the control is. There you should also evaluate how high-quality the handle of the rod is.
4. The required value. When used on a small river, the length of the rod can be about two meters. Long-distance casts and jigging are best done when the length is over 2.7 meters. Length from 2.4 to 2.6 meters is considered universal.
5. Good sensitivity. The better the sensitivity of the rod, the more comfortable it is to fish.
6. With the right test. It is better to choose a product that has a wider test for the lower weight range, for example, 5-25 grams. In this case, you can experiment with different lures, learn to exercise proper control over them, use the tackle when fishing in a variety of situations.
7. With the right system. Many people prefer fast action gear for beginners. Although this limits the weight of the bait and prey, it allows for much more effective control of the bait.

Main selection criteria

The shorter the length, the shorter the casting distance. At the same time, the shorter the spinning rod, the more sensitive and convenient it is to use.

Thus, when choosing a spinning rod, the main criteria can be highlighted:

• length;
• material;
• system;
• test and power;
• type of rings;
• the specifics of mounting the reel and handle;
• type or type of construction;

The length can vary from one and a half to four meters. Everything will depend on the specifics of fishing and the possibility of using the boat.

For distant casts, wiring with a powerful current and considerable depth, the use of a heavy spoon is required. The weight of the attachment and the rod test must be matched.

The dough refers to the range of packing weights that can be used for a particular model. A test of 7 - 30 grams will mean that the smallest weight of the bait, perceptible in the event of a cast, will be 7 grams.

The maximum upper level is 30 grams. With a heavier bait, the tackle may fail.

Usually the classification of rods is as follows:

1. Heavy class, with bait weight from fifteen to sixty grams.
2. Middle class, from seven to thirty.
3. Light class, from three to fifteen.
4. Ultra-lightweight, one to seven grams.

The power of the spinning rod determines the amount of line used. A line that is too strong can break the rod in the event of a sharp cut or hook.

The formation is understood as the characteristic of the spinning rod, which affects the short-term response when the load increases.

The fast action makes the spinning rod more responsive. Recently, the plug rod is gradually replacing the telescopic rod, overtaking it in all characteristics.

Distinguish rods in order:

• slow;
• average;
• fast;
• super fast;

It is determined by the bend of the rod under load. The slow action allows the rod to bend equally across its entire length in a parabolic manner. With a fast action, only the upper section is bent.

The structure is influenced by the geometry of the whip and the rigidity of the materials used. Fast action provides high taper and wall thicknesses, as well as increased material rigidity.

The benefits of slow tuning include:

1. Improved depreciation when playing prey.
2. Reducing the sharpness when casting, which helps the live bait to survive.
3. Improved throwing distance.

Of the materials used for the manufacture of rods: fiberglass and carbon fiber (carbon), the latter is preferred in many respects.

The lead-through rings can be ceramic, silicon carbide and aluminum oxide. The most reliable rings are silicon carbide.

Spinning equipment

The most optimal for a beginner will be a spinning rod of a light class, which allows you to feel the bite well and use a large number of different lures.

1. Choose a reel that should be in harmony with the rod. For the light class, a reel with a small or medium size is suitable. The smallest reel is 1000, which holds a hundred meters of fishing line with a diameter equal to one tenth of a millimeter. The 2000 reel includes the same number of meters of line with a diameter of two tenths of a millimeter. The reel should be able to lay the line well. The winding can be in the form of a reverse or straight cone, or cylindrical.
2. Choosing a fishing line. It is better to take a soft monofilament, which is better placed on the bobbin. It does not form furrows and curls less. At the same time, with a rigid braid, you can more accurately control the wiring, and the bite will be more sensitive.
3. Choosing a fastener at the end of the line. When using a mono line, the end of the line must have a swivel. When braiding, a swivel is not needed, because it will not twist too much.
4. We choose a leash that must have good strength so that it cannot be snipped.
5. Choosing the bait. For example, a wobbler, silicone baits, depending on the fish caught.

When, where and what kind of fish is caught?

About when fishing with spinning is allowed, you should inquire in the decrees of the territorial and central authority of the Fishery Supervision. There may be different kinds of bans in different regions.

Catching certain types of fish can have its own specifics.

Pike

1. The pike has won the greatest popularity among spinningists. You can catch it in a lake, on a pond, in a river. She keeps in quiet creeks with snags, in thickets of reeds, where you can hide.
2. A pop-up wobbler is used to catch it. Stepped wiring is usually used.
3. A spinner works best near driftwood. You can attach a twister to it by running a nozzle along the border of the thicket.

Zander

1. In the daytime, pike perch tries to go deep, in the evening it hunts in shallow water, where the water is saturated with oxygen and fry live in large numbers.
2. The pike perch has a narrow throat, so it prefers thin small fish. To catch it, narrow wobblers are used, which are carried out horizontally.
3. In the case of a fast flow, a heavy spoon can be used.

Perch

1. A sign of the location of the perch is schools of small fish that begin to jump over the water and scatter on different sides.
2. The perch responds well to a white or yellow spoon, with which a yellow, red or black twister is combined.
3. In places where the current is weak, you can fish using one twister. Jerks during the drive are very effective.

Chub

1. Chub can be found in areas with a fast flow, where there is a lot of oxygen. Often, this predator preys on fry at the confluence of fast and slow currents.
2. A spinning spoon is used as a nozzle. They carry it out evenly or make small jerks. You can use twisters or steamers.
3. Great importance is attached to the color of the nozzle. During May, it should be brown or brown with black specks.

How to fish correctly with a spinning rod?

In order for spinning fishing to be effective, you should skillfully cast the tackle, choose a promising place, correctly do the wiring and choose the appropriate attachment.

Catching and casting technique:

1. For correct casting, the line must be reeled in such a way that the nozzle falls no more than a meter from the end of the rod.
2. Further, the spool bracket opens, the line is pressed with the index finger so that it does not open.
3. The rod is retracted and then cast sharply and smoothly at the same time.
4. As soon as the rod is at a forty-five degree angle to the water surface, the line is released from under the finger.
5. When the nozzle reaches the bottom of the reservoir, they begin to turn the reel, sometimes jerking with the tip of the rod.
6. The nozzle should sink to the bottom and then rise above it again. She must move like a small fish to force the predator to attack her.
7. In one place, you need to throw the spinning rod up to five times in different directions, and then go to another.
8. If there are no bites at all, the nozzle should be changed.

How to spin fishing from the shore:

1. For fishing from the shore, a light class spinning rod is used, durable and lightweight, with a high throughput of the rings.
2. Good stepped navigation on a powerful river with a distance of seventy meters from the coastline, is possible with a tougher tackle (test 30 grams).
3. A spinning reel with easy running and durability is required.
4. Usually braided line is used, which, without stretching, resists the current well. It makes it easier to lower the nozzle and make a sweep.
5. Only metal leash is used.

1. Try to constantly change the nature of the game of the lure when stepping, this will achieve the best result.
2. Often, a sharp sweep is absolutely unnecessary, this only leads to a rush of a fish lip. Try not to hook at all when fishing with a wobbler. The pike will catch on the tee well as it is.
3. Many beginners pull the drag on the reel. Experience shows that it is better to under-tighten than to over-tighten.
4. The mistake of beginners is that, having made a sweep, they immediately rush sharply to rotate the reel. First, you should feel: how the prey will behave, and then, without fussing, act.
5. Get more advice from experienced anglers, study fishing forums and luck will certainly come to you.

The first thing you should remember is the choice of location. Large fish are very careful, catching it by throwing it into a random point in the reservoir is very rare, which again reduces your chances of success.

To get closer to your goal, you need to identify bottom pits or depressions in which large fish often feed. Not sure how to determine the depth? Here's how to do this with a marker float.

Also, a suitable place where large fish can hide are driftwood and places littered with branches or other shelters. But be careful. In such places, a bite of a large fish is highly likely, but in order to pull it out without breaking, you need a good tackle.

If the reservoir is not too large (up to 200 meters wide), and the opposite bank is inaccessible, it is necessary to cast or bring tackle by boat directly under the other bank. If trees are leaning over the water on the other bank, then be sure that there are a lot of branches at the bottom, in which your tackle can get tangled, especially after a bite.

To avoid this, it is necessary to lower the bait in the area of ​​5-10 meters from the shore, to the border of the clean and littered bottom. The fish will still be spinning in this area in search of food and, seeing your bait, will certainly react to it.

But be careful, the fish, as soon as it grabs the bait, immediately rush into these branches and driftwood, so do not miss with a sweep and do not let the fish make a hook or break.

The outcome of the entire fishing trip may depend on the choice of a promising place. As a rule, large fish behave very carefully and try to stay at depth, being at a considerable distance from the coast. To catch only "krupnyak", you will have to try and try to study the bottom relief of the reservoir. To do this, you can use a marker float.

Usually, large fish are found in hard-to-reach places, such as driftwood or heaps of broken branches. In such places, the fish feel safe. But such places are quite difficult to fish because of the high probability of snagging. For fishing in such places you need a powerful tackle.

If the reservoir is not wide and can be thrown to the opposite shore, then there is every chance of catching a large fish. This is especially true when there is vegetation on the shore.

In this case, we can say with confidence that at some distance from the coast (opposite), there are heaps of old branches in the water. The bait is delivered to the border of the expected blockages and clean water.

The fish will certainly find the bait and try to eat it. In this case, you need to constantly monitor so as not to miss a bite, otherwise the fish will try to pull the tackle into the branches.

If she manages to get the tackle behind an underwater obstacle, then fish or tackle breakage cannot be avoided.

Lure

If you really want to catch big fish, you must understand that there must be a lot of groundbait and there must be a lot of it. It doesn't have to be expensive.

Buy on the market makuha, halva, ground sunflower seeds, various cheap cereals. Cook at least half a bucket of this mixture.

Purchased ready-made groundbait in packs can be used as an additive, one pack is enough for it, since if you use only it, it will be much more expensive.

The bait is brought by boat to the chosen place or thrown with the help of a special slingshot or rocket for casting bait. More wealthy fishermen use a special boat on the control panel, with which you can easily bring the bait and groundbait to the right place with an accuracy of a centimeter.

Don't assume that bait will work right away. A well-fed place in the morning can only give results in the evening, at night or the next morning. In this case, the groundbait must be added regularly.

It will be much more difficult to catch a big fish without bait, you will only have to hope for luck that the fish will be exactly in the place where your bait lies.

There is nothing to do without bait on the pond, especially if there is a desire to see large specimens of fish in the catch. Moreover, the bait should be enough to lure the fish and try to keep it in one place.

It doesn't have to be expensive. It is enough to boil the porridge, add the makuhi and you can go fishing.

Alternatively, you can add a pack of purchased mix to your own groundbait. In any case, it will be cheaper if you use only a commercially available mixture.

Groundbait is delivered to the fishing area in any available way. This can be a hand throw. Naturally, you can't throw far with your hand. Therefore, you can use a slingshot or a special feeder, such as "rocket". This method allows you to deliver feed over a considerable distance.

If funds allow, then you can purchase a special boat with remote control and deliver bait in this way, combining business with pleasure. With a toy boat, you can start the bait at any distance.

At the same time, it should be remembered that the bait does not start working immediately, but after some time. Sometimes you have to feed the fish all day and only in the evening or the next morning a positive result is possible.

Therefore, catching a large fish requires a serious investment of time and money. If one of the fishermen managed to catch a large fish, then it is rather an accident and luck, if he did not feed the place.

Bait

To catch large fish, you have to weed out small bites with bait. To do this, you need to pick up a bait that will be too tough for little things. This bait can be:

• corn (1-5 grains per hook);
• peas (1-5 peas per hook)
• the worm crawls out (whole, in the worst case, half);
• pearl barley (also a few grains on a hook).
• boilies;
• frog (in case of catching catfish).

Be aware that in order to really fish big fish you will need high quality large hooks. No. 10 is quite a suitable option.

Put on so many grains of bait at once so that it is almost completely filled, just leave a little space (about one pea) so that when a large fish bites, the bait has somewhere to move out and release the sting so that the fish gets hooked.

If the bait is quite hard and the fish may not pierce it to the tip of the hook when biting, you can leave the sting bare, literally 1-3 mm, or pierce the bait and hide the sting back into it.

And best of all, to catch large fish, use a tackle with a hair on which the bait is put on, while the hook remains free and the fish itself is hooked.

If you purposefully catch large fish, then you should create conditions in advance so that small fish do not take part in the bites. To do this, you should take a hook of the appropriate size and bait on it, which will be too tough for "little things". For this you need to take:

• corn;
• peas;
• worm (crawling);
• pearl barley;
• boilies;
• frog (for catfish).

First you need to pick up a hook of the appropriate size. Hook # 10 is perfect.

To cut off small fish, several grains of corn, peas or pearl barley are planted on the hook. The hook must be completely filled.

You can leave some free space so that in case of a bite, the nozzle can move out, freeing the tip of the hook. At the same time, the sting of the hook can protrude, but no more than 1 mm.

Then the hooking can be successful and the fish is reliably spotted.

Sometimes a hair rig is used when the attachment is attached separately from the hook, and the hook is left free. As a rule, such equipment is used for carp fishing.

A feeder with a reel is used as an accessory. Since the carp sucks in food, it sucks in the bait together with the hook.

Having found a foreign object in his mouth, he tries to free himself from it, but it is not so easy, and he is on the hook.

Patience

This is something that many anglers lack. As a rule, the tackle is checked very often, depending on the bait used.

This period is about 5 minutes and depends on the rate at which the bait is washed out of the trough. But in order to catch a large trophy specimen, it is necessary to leave the bait in the water for a long time.

But some experienced anglers leave the bait in the water for 2-3 hours and wait. In this case, the tackle is checked if:

• in case of blank bites, when the bait is damaged;
• if the bottom is muddy, then there is a possibility that the bait will swim and the fish will not be able to find it;
• if you want to replace one nozzle with another.

When the tackle is in the water for a long time, there is an opportunity to go about your business on the shore. As a rule, these are works to prepare the camp and create proper living conditions in it. After all, this type of fishing requires you to be on the pond for several days.

To create conditions for such fishing, you should know for sure that large fish are found in this reservoir.

Along with the rapid and massive development of recreational fishing, the range of fishing equipment is also growing. We will talk about this basic set of fishermen in this article.

Rods. A beginner fisherman needs to know that they are made from vines, hazel, birch, bamboo, metal, fiberglass, etc. The first requirement for them is strength, the second is elasticity, and the third is length. They should not be kept in water, because of this, strength is lost, cracks appear or corrosion occurs. For ease of transportation, the rods are made complex of several sections. For fishing, float, feeder, plug, fly fishing, bottom, winter and spinning rods are used. At the thin end of the rods, a loop must be fitted through which the fishing line of the tackle is passed, which is fixed on the reel or in the middle of the rod. In the event that the end of the rod breaks, the fisherman does not lose all the tackle and the caught fish.

Fishing line (vein). Not so long ago, twisted hair from a ponytail or various types of silk or hemp cords were used as fishing line, now, for the same purpose, they use synthetic veins: nylon, perlon, silon and others, as well as a metal string, which have different colors and are made in thickness from 0.08 to 1 mm. Rarely for fishing, but nylon and hemp cords are also used. So that the fishing line does not lose its elasticity, it should be immersed from time to time for several hours in a 50% solution of glycerin and water and kept less in the sun.

Leash. In the case of fishing with fishing rods for predatory fish - pike, pike perch or catfish, which can bite the line, at the end a metal string 25-50 cm long is attached to it, into which lures or hooks with bait are already attached. Taking into account the caution of the fish, to reduce the visibility of the main thick fishing line, a leash of a thin fishing line 15-30 cm long and 0.08-0.3 thick, rarely 0.4 mm is attached to its end, to which a hook is tied.

Swivel carabiner (anti-twist). They are used to connect the main fishing line of the tackle with a leash on a bottom fishing rod, feeders, zherlitsa, tracks, circles, spinning rods with spinning lures.

Float. It is intended for holding a leash with a hook and bait or a nozzle at a certain depth, as well as for fixing the moment of fish bite. There are floats lying and standing, which are made of: goose feathers, tree bark, foam, plastic of various sizes and shapes. At night, to detect the bite of fish, a small bell or firefly is still suspended at the end of the rods, and on winter fishing rods, most often, the float is replaced with sensitive guards of various shapes and materials.

Sinker. A beginner fisherman needs to know that a sinker is used on tackle, when fish are caught at the bottom and in the water column, to hold a hook with a bait or bait in the right place or position. Sinkers are made from heavy metal, mainly from lead, tin, babbitt. The shapes of sinkers and their sizes are very diverse and depend on the purpose of the tackle. Sinkers on the tackle are fixed or made freely moving. For light tackle, pellets of different sizes are used (hunting or ready-made from the store), which are cut to the middle with a knife and fixed on leashes by compression. Free-moving sinkers are made in the form of balls, ovals or cylinders, which can freely rotate on the line and roll along the bottom, with the flow of water. They restrict the movement of such a free weight along the line with stoppers, which are fixed on both sides.

On a bottom fishing rod and feeders, in flowing waters, where it is necessary to use heavy sinkers, cast-iron mugs, rings, heavy feeders are used for this.

The greatest difficulties in the selection of sinkers for the tackle arise among spinningists. The weight of the spinner here, together with its components, namely: the sinker, the carabiner, the winding rings, should be such that with a jerk it was possible to bring the reel with the line to a state of inertia and overcome the frictional force at the points of contact on the rod and in the air.

In addition, it turns out that predatory fish, especially perch, as well as pike, having noticed a spoon, “follow” the sinker (as for prey), try to get ahead of the spoon (a competitor) and grab the sinker, and therefore do not fall on the spoon. To avoid this, spinning reels make a sinker with two hooks mounted in them, have a shape similar to the fish that lives in the fishing grounds, or which is the favorite food of the predator.

Hooks. The success of fishing depends to a large extent on the quality, shape and size of the hooks. They make bent and forged hooks (black - hardened in oil, white - made of stainless steel, covered with bronze), with a loop or flattened at the end of the rod and have numbers: 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 5, 5.5, 6, 7, 8.5 , 10, 12, 14, 16, 40 corresponding to the distance in millimeters between the tip and the rod.

The hook must not bend or break. Its sting should be long and pointed, the beard of the sting is deeply dissected and slightly retracted inward or to the side.

Hooks are tied to the fishing line in several ways. The vein is pulled into the loop of the rod from the inside (from the middle), tied around the rod and its end is pulled into the same loop from the fishing line - an eight is formed, which is tightly tightened. The second method is not much different from the first - only the eight from the vein is made separately, and then the end of the rod is passed through both rings of the eight and the vein is tightly tightened. The third - the vein 3-4 cm from the end is bent in half, a loop is applied to the rod, at the bend of the stream, the short end of the fishing line is wrapped from the bottom up the rod together with the long end of the fishing line 3-5 times and its free end is passed into the loop of the fishing line formed during bending at the forend, and tighten this loop with the long end of the fishing line under its turns on the rod. In all cases, the rest of the tip of the fishing line is cut off, and the fishing line of the tackle must necessarily be on the inside of the hook (on the rod opposite the sting). For spinners, etc., double hooks and tees with the appropriate size and numbers from 6 to 18 are used.

Spoons. It is a kind of artificial substitute for natural baits. The great interest in spinners is mainly due to the lack of difficulties in storing natural baits, which in this case should be small fish. The growing variety of spinners is associated with the search for forms that can best replace fish - food items for pikes, walleyes, perches, and other predators. They are also an integral part of sport fishing for the aforementioned fish species.

By size, spoons are divided into large, medium, small; by weight - heavy and light; by color - to bright and matte; on movement in water - on rotating, oscillating, vertical; in shape - into symmetrical and asymmetric, acting as an irritant or "competitor", which supposedly catch up with the profit placed in front of the spoon, or the second spoon, in the diet of predatory fish.

Lures are made of stainless steel, duralumin, bronze, brass, copper, aluminum, lead, cupronickel, glass, gutta-percha and other materials.

Our industry produces more than a hundred types of various spinners, the most common of which have not lost their purpose for many decades, and the search for all new types of them continues among amateurs and, having gained popularity, become an object of industrial production.

As a rule, lures are connected to the main tackle through a carabiner and a steel leash. According to the conditions of the reservoir, time, place, current, weather, exactingness of predatory fish, they use one or another spoon. You should also count on their losses from hooks. Spoons are often replaced with "tackles" adapted for mounting dead fish, which are placed on a metal pin and fixed with tee anchors along the surface of the body.

In winter, mainly small spinners are used for vertical lure. They have one hook, connected to a lure, on which there is no beard, but the sting should be long and well sharpened, in this case a leash is not needed. If the lures are intended for fishing pikes or walleyes, then their size should be up to 70 mm, and the sting should be with a beard.

The color of the spinners in the winter should be selected bright. To polish the lures and sharpen the hooks for fishing, you need to take with you suede, sandpaper, a sharpener, cloth and polishing paste.

Bump stop. When fishing, a hook or jig often clings to underwater obstacles - flooded branches, trees, driftwood, aquatic vegetation, stones. To free the tackle from the hook, use chippers, which are made
from soft metal - lead or babbitt in the form of a ring or cylinder of different diameters and weights.

Fishing practice requires bumpers that pass directly onto the line, this is convenient if there is a reel on the rod. In this case, lead rings with loops are used, one of which acts as a hinge - a curtain, the second - a latch. Lead cylinders are also made.

A prerequisite for the successful release of the hook or spinner from the hook is to bring the boat to the place where the tackle is delayed and the vertical tension of the line, in this case the bump stop releases the hooks and spinners with its weight quite easily.

Landing net. The caught large fish should always be taken out of the water with the help of a landing net, to which it is brought gradually with a fishing rod. A landing net is made from a nylon mesh. It is sewn to metal rings with a diameter of 25-30 cm, the ends of which are fixed with a sleeve to a wooden or bamboo stick, 100-150 cm long and 2-3 cm thick. The depth of the landing net should be 60-70 cm. Who is lazy, go to the store and buy already ready.

Bagorik. It is better to drag a large catfish and pike into the boat using a metal hook made in the form of a hook, in which the distance from the tip to the rod is 60-80 mm, the length of the rod reaches 50-60 cm.

Fish tank. They try to keep the caught fish alive. It is best to use nylon basket cages for this. There is a huge selection of them in fishing shops.

Live bait bucket. It is better to keep live bait (small fish for catching predatory fish) in a 5-6 liter bucket equipped with a lid on the buttonholes and a latch. In the upper third of the bucket, many 5 mm holes are made to ensure the exchange of water. Live bait is transferred to the place of fishing in a bucket of water, and at the place of fishing it is immersed in water. Buckets can be made of metal or plastic.

Mormyshka. This name comes from the name of a small shrimp crustacean (hamarus), which is common in the reservoirs of the Urals and Siberia and is a favorite food of fish. Rising in jerks from the bottom to the surface of the reservoir, it becomes an object of catching gluttonous perch, roach, elms. In those localities, fishermen collect this crustacean from under the ice and fish on it with winter fishing rods.

The lack of such bait in the central European regions prompted inventive amateurs to make an artificial mormysh ("mormyshka"), and more than a hundred forms of this, so to speak, charm appeared, which is used with or without a bloodworm attachment. It can be considered at the same time as a sinker, and a jig, and an irritant. "Jigsaw" is made of tin, lead, copper, bronze in the form of a ball, a drop, as well as ovoid, oval, lenticular, etc., with a welded forged hook in a horizontal position. Hooks are chosen in small sizes Nos. 2.5 - 3.5. Recently, quite large (heavy) "jigs" have appeared, which began to resemble spinners. The hole for passing the fishing line is made in the "jig", in a vertical plane relative to the hook. The vein under the "jig" is tied with a flat knot. "Mormyshki" are divided into large, medium and small.

Coil. An integral angler's tool for casting bait, bait and spinner over a long distance at a certain
place or dive gear in deep places. Spinning and fly reels have existed for a long time, and now there are also winter and leading bottom reels, which are made of light metals and synthetic materials. They are divided into inertial and non-inertial. The success of fishing with a reel is entirely due to the minimum friction in it.

Feeders... They are most often used for bait and fish attraction. Their design is being improved in the direction of the accuracy of casting the bait directly to the place of fishing. Feeders are made of small size, mostly cone-shaped, 6-15 cm high and 4-8 cm in diameter, there are metal or synthetic materials (depending on their purpose). Usually they use feeders in flowing water bodies, where the current gradually flushes out of them the food is laid, to which the fish gathers.

For whom the article "What a beginner fisherman needs to know" came in handy - social media buttons are waiting for you. And whoever disagrees with something, or would like to add, do not keep it to yourself and express yourself in the comments.

No tail, no scales!
