OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR SPINELESS COILS

In order to properly use the coil, carefully read these recommendations!

Spool. Filling the spool. Capacity. Removal methods.

Remove the spool and attach the line to it. To do this, unscrew the adjusting screw located in front of the spool or press the button located on the spool (for reels with a rear friction clutch). Open the line stacker. Place the spool on the axle and screw in the adjusting screw, or, after placing the spool on the axle, slowly turn it in either direction until the spool is in place (for rear drag reels). Don't use force. An indicator of the correct installation of the spool is the click of the spool lock. Close the line guide and start winding up the line. In order for the fishing line to be wound more evenly, the tension of the fishing line must be created. For the greatest convenience in operation, the maximum line laying height should be about 2 mm from the edge of the spool. The spool capacity of each model for different line diameters is indicated in the technical specifications. In order for you to use different types of fishing line, you need to have additional spools for the reels.

Anti-reverse. Ways and Purposes of application.

The anti-reverse prevents the reel head from turning in the opposite direction when winding the line. The anti-reverse is activated using a switch located at the back of the reel or at the bottom of the housing.

Brake adjustment.

The brake mechanism is adjusted using the adjusting screw located in the front or rear of the coil. The brake mechanism is designed to reduce the risk of line breakage in cases of sharp jerks or strong resistance of the caught fish. To adjust the brake mechanism, pass the line through the line guide and thread it through the rings located on the rod. Fasten the end of the line. Turn on anti-reverse. Set the rod at a 45 degree angle. Adjust the screw to set the required friction clutch threshold. If it reaches the limit, turn the brake adjuster at least a quarter of a turn back (counterclockwise). When adjusting the brake mechanism, do not apply excessive force, because. this can lead to breakage of the reel or rod.

Throw technique.

Take a rod with a pre-fixed reel wound on a spool and a fishing line passed through the rings (from the handle to the tip of the rod) and a bait attached to the free end of the fishing line in the right or left hand (depending on the subjective anatomical features of the angler). With the index finger of the same hand, press the line two or three centimeters from the line roller to the rod handle. Use your free hand to open the line laying bar. Before casting, visually verify that there is no bait on the intended flight path and its subsequent wiring. foreign objects, people and animals . The casting technique depends on a combination of many factors: the length of the spinning rod, the weight of the bait, the presence of obstacles in the casting zone, and so on. Therefore, it is based on the individual experience of the angler. After casting, depending on the type and conditions of fishing, reel in the lure. After completing the posting, perform the same sequence of actions until the end of fishing or until the capture of fish. Before going out on the water, if possible, consult with an experienced angler.

Care and Precautions.

Keep sand away from the rotating parts of the reel.

Keep the reel dry.

The warranty does not cover damage resulting from misuse or intentional or unintentional damage.

Good luck fishing!

Of course, every self-respecting angler should know how to use a spinning reel installed on his rod, what loads it is designed for, what can be expected from it in a given situation and how it needs to be set up for effective operation.

Due to their versatility, they are in high demand among different categories of fishermen, so manufacturers produce different models that can better meet their needs. Consider the most important nuances that need to be considered when operating inertialess.

Its device and important parameters

In order to better understand how to use a fishing reel, it is useful to know what it consists of, its structure and the main differences from other types of reels. You need to know that they are of three main types:

  1. (the most simple and reliable mechanism).
  2. This is a more complex mechanism that has much in common with inertial coils, but stands apart.

At the same time, it is important to understand that if you know well, for example, how to properly use a multiplier reel, or a standard inertial one, this does not mean that you will work just as well with an inertialess one.

Each spinner consists of the following main parts:

  1. Frame, made in one piece with the mounting foot. Usually it is made of aluminum alloys or high quality plastic. It contains the elements of the main mechanism.
  2. Rotor with a shackle of the line-laying device and a mechanism for its automatic folding. The main function is to wind the line on the spool.
  3. Spool, where the volume of the fishing line is located. They are also made of aluminum alloys or high-quality abrasion-resistant plastic.
  4. Rotating handle. With its help, the angler sets in motion the entire mechanism of the reel. Thanks to her, this type of coils is often called "meat grinders" by the people. They really do have a distant resemblance.

In addition, one can single out friction brake, which serves to regulate the load sufficient to rotate the rotor when hooking a large fish or when hooking. The adjusting screw of this mechanism on an inertialess reel can be located in front - from the end of the spool, or behind.

Expert opinion

Knipovich Nikolai Mikhailovich

Attention! You need to be very careful when initially winding the fishing line (braided cord) onto the spool of a spinning reel. The fishing line should lie evenly, without overlaps and mixing of layers, which often happens when it is excessively tensioned. This will allow you to produce better casts and wiring baits.

The main difference between this type of coils and inertial coils is that:

  1. Main axis, on which the drum is fixed, in working condition is located parallel to the axis of the rod. For inertial coils and for multipliers - perpendicularly.
  2. When casting bait line descends freely from the end of the fixed spool. There is no rotation of the drum, which means that there is no inertia force that usually occurs during rotation.

In addition to understanding the device and the principle of operation of the coil, it is important to know its main quality parameters, according to which the consumer features of each model are evaluated. They must be taken into account both when purchasing it in a store, and directly, when equipping and catching it. These options include:

  1. mechanism. This parameter indicates the number of revolutions of the rotor during one full revolution of the handle. It is applied in the form of a ratio of certain numbers to the case, for example: 4.6:1, 5.3:1.
  2. Number of bearings involved in the mechanism. The more of them, the more smoothly and stably the coil works.
  3. Spool capacity. This characteristic is also indicated on the body and shows the amount of fishing line of a certain section for which it is designed. For example, the number 1500 indicates that this reel will place 100 m of 1.5 mm line on its spool.
  4. The material from which the spool is made. In more expensive, professional models, these tend to be more durable and practical aluminum alloys.
  5. Dimensions and weight of the coil.

It is important to know that according to the number indicating the capacity of the spool you can compare the power of different mechanisms. So, the reel with the designation 3500 is more powerful than the reel with the designation 3000, which means that it is designed for heavier tackle and catching stronger fish.

When fishing with spinning, this characteristic determines which rod it should be placed on for greater efficiency and harmony of tackle, light or heavier, and how to use the spinning reel.

Advantages and disadvantages of inertialess models

This type of fishing reel is rightfully considered the most common and easiest to operate, but they, like almost every mechanical design, have their strengths and weaknesses. Their strengths include the following:

  1. Versatility. With the right selection of such a reel, you can effectively catch both the lightest and rather heavy lures.
  2. Possibility perform slow and fast wiring, quickly changing, if necessary, the pace.
  3. High sensitivity. A properly tuned coil will allow you to react in time to any bite.
  4. The presence of an adjustable friction brake. This in some cases allows you to save the tackle from the cliff.

The negative properties of such a mechanism include the following:

  1. Enough complex structure requiring careful handling.
  2. Perceptible line wear due to its intense friction on the sides of the spool during casting.
  3. Significant price some models.

It should be noted that in recent years the quality and functionality of these coils has increased markedly, especially in the expensive segment.

Basic principles of using the coil

Before you start actively exploiting your coil, you need to do the following three steps:

  1. Install it on the rod. It is important that after installation it is held as securely and tightly as possible, without play.
  2. It is important that the top layer of the wound line does not reach the top edge of the spool bead by 1.5-2 mm, this will provide a more efficient, without delay, its coming off during casting.
  3. Adjust friction brake mechanism. It should work before the line breaks.

After that, it can be used, making long-range and accurate casts, high-quality wiring of baits and reliable retention of hooked trophies on the hook.

After mastering the theoretical knowledge on how to use this type of spinning reel, you need to move on to practice as soon as possible. Particular importance at the initial stage should be given to the technique of correctly casting baits. The remaining elements of working with it (wiring technique, hooking, fish withdrawal) are learned later.

Expert opinion

Zoologist, hydrobiologist. I am a professional fisherman.

Attention! With any cast, you need to make sure that there are no strangers near you, whom you can harm with sharp hooks or fishing line. It is also very important to avoid when casting a hook on the surrounding trees, shrubs, etc.

Casting bait using coils of this type can be carried out in the following ways:

  1. Over my head(vertically). This is the most amplitude, requiring a lot of free space above your head, method.
  2. Horizontally, from the convenient side.
  3. Rolling(pendulum).

Some anglers are still mastering the casting method according to the principle catapults, with a preliminary bend of the rod, but it is quite complex and not in demand.

The most popular is vertical casting.. It is both the most long-range and the most accurate, provided that the angler has mastered the technique of its implementation well enough. The algorithm for its implementation is as follows:

  1. By turning the handle of the reel, you need to lower the bait 0.7 - 1.2 m from the tip of the rod.
  2. We fold back the line laying bail and immediately fix the fishing line with the index finger, pressing it to the rod in a convenient place next to the handle.
  3. Next - carefully wind the rod behind your back.
  4. We make a throw of the bait forward with the simultaneous release of the fishing line from fixation with a finger.

At the final stage of the cast, while the bait is flying towards the target, the tip of the rod should be in the right direction, preferably in line with the line. After landing the bait, you need to turn the handle of the reel to automatically return the line stacker to its working position.

Horizontal (side) casting it is done in almost the same way, but the retraction of the rod behind the back is carried out not in a vertical, but in a horizontal plane. This is necessary if, for example, tree branches are located on top, and there is free space on the side for the necessary manipulations.

pendulum casting often needed when fishing from a steep bank or from the side of a boat. It is done as follows:

  1. We release the bait at 1 - 1.4 m from the tip of the rod, depending on its total length, the availability of free space and the required casting distance.
  2. We recline the line stacker and fix the fishing line with your finger.
  3. We swing the bait with a fishing rod and cast it, releasing the fixed fishing line in the upper part of its amplitude.

The bait with such a cast at the initial stage flies upwards, which allows experienced anglers, if necessary, to throw minor obstacles in its path.

After casting the bait, by rotating the handle of the reel in a certain rhythm, its wiring is carried out. At the same time, to give it the right game, the rod is manipulated.

When fishing on a spinning rod, the combination of the necessary wiring with different manipulations of the rod allows you to make very high-quality, effective wiring of lures.

Useful video

Below we will watch a video on how to cast spinning lures:

A spinning reel deserves to be treated with respect. Even a very simple, budget model can, with proper handling, significantly expand your ability to catch different types of fish, both near the shore and at long distances, both from the shore and from the boat.

In the article on the inertialess coil, the material is presented in the following order:

  • coil working principle
  • friction brake,
  • laying fishing line on a spool,
  • types of spool profiles,
  • spinning reel size,
  • rotor speed,
  • reel handle,
  • video on how to choose a coil,
  • a song and an anecdote about fishing.

Principle of operation

The spinning reel (hereinafter referred to as the BK or just the reel) is widely used in various types of fishing and today is considered the most common and versatile throughout the fishing world. In some English-speaking countries, it is called "Fixed spool reel" - fixed spool reel. The reason for this name was the fact that in working condition the BC spool remains motionless - fixed.

Not in one place, but along the entire length of the drum.

  1. Friction brake control knob.
  2. Timber roller.
  3. Bracket lesoukladyvatel.
  4. Spool.
  5. Rotor.
  6. Frame.
  7. Reverse stopper.
  8. Handle.

The line layer is a device mounted on the reel rotor through a folding mechanism, consisting of a line laying bracket and a guide roller, which provides winding of the fishing line on the reel spool.

The reel rotor together with the line laying machine is set in motion by rotating the handle with a certain gear ratio.
The line-laying bracket rotating around the fixed spool winds the fishing line stretched through the guide roller onto the spool, which carries out reciprocating movements "forward - backward".
The line guide roller, which has a bearing (preferably), ensures uniform and soft glide of the line, and the folding mechanism allows you to open and close the line guide bracket if necessary.


Such a constructive solution of “fixing the spool” saved the BC from many of the shortcomings of its predecessor - the multiplier reel. The main of which was considered the moment of inertia caused by the rotational movement of the spool (drum) with fishing line, and which served as the reason for its frequent, arbitrary gatherings (“beards”). In order to implement this solution, it was necessary to turn the spool of the multiplier coil, which served as the prototype of the BC, by 90 degrees, while significantly changing the design of its drive.

friction brake

Spinning coils conventionally divided into coils with front and rear friction brakes. The friction brake, using the braking force, changes the amount of effort required to pull the line off the spool, thereby softening jerks and shocks when hooking and playing large fish. And also, it insures the reel mechanism from overloads, protecting the rod from breakage under critical loads, and the fishing line from breaking.
The location of the friction brake does not affect the functions of the BC, except that with the front brake the reel weighs less and has a smoother adjustment, and with the rear brake the spool is removed faster and easier.


In the reel with a rear brake (photo 2), instead of its regulator knob, there is a spool lock button, by pressing which it can be easily removed.

In the case of a front brake, to remove the spool, it is necessary to completely loosen the clutch by unscrewing and removing the knob of its regulator.

Reel spool is not always in a stationary state, its rotation is possible when a force arises that pulls the fishing line off it. In this case, it has the ability to rotate in the opposite direction. A friction brake holds the spool, blocking such rotation, and the pulling force of the fishing line depends on how tightly it is tightened.

Some state-of-the-art reels have a system that allows even with a fully applied brake to bleed the line at the maximum allowable load on it. Thus, protecting the BC, if it is used improperly, from overloads and damage.

By adjusting the friction brake, set the braking force so that it is one third less than the strength of the line used. If a line with a breaking load of 6.0 kg is used, then the friction brake is adjusted to the force at which it releases the line - 4.0 kg. If this rule is observed, the BC and the rod are subjected to less stress, which allows them to extend their service life.

Laying line on a spool

The laying of the fishing line in the BC is carried out by a line laying machine rotating around the spool and a spool feed mechanism that converts the rotational movement of the handle into a reciprocating movement of the spool.


The full cycle of movement of the spool "forward - backward" corresponds to two turns of the handle, in which in the first half of the cycle ("forward") the fishing line is laid in a spiral in one direction, and in the second ("back") - the next layer of the spiral lies crosswise along top of the first, in the opposite direction. In spinless reels, two types of spool feed mechanism are most commonly used. This is a mechanism with a worm or crank - connecting rod transmission:
1. worm gear called "endless screw"— the kinematic accuracy of the worm pair contributes to a more uniform spool feed, thereby improving the quality of the line winding.

2. crank gear using backstage called "locomotive"- some features of the mechanism do not always allow you to achieve the desired quality of laying the fishing line.

The rotational movement of the line stacker and the reciprocating movement of the spool are coordinated with each other by the reel mechanism. The unit of agreement is spool pitch- the length of its movement for one complete revolution of the rotor (coil), often called the "line laying step". The stacking pitch affects the distance between adjacent turns of the winding layer, and hence its density and shape.


The feed step, which is constant throughout the entire “forward-backward” cycle, ensures a straight-cylindrical laying of the fishing line. Changing the pitch during the feed cycle allows you to get a shape (figure) of winding fishing line other than straight.
The figure shows three types of line laying on a cylindrical spool:

  • standard cylindrical, it is also straight laying,
  • laying with a straight cone,
  • reverse cone laying.

straight (cylindrical)- has a constant laying pitch, allows you to get a straight winding profile (shape), which does not exclude spontaneous line coming off , a fact that does not interfere with a coil with this type of laying is considered the most common and versatile, with which you can get all three types of winding shapes using spools of different configurations. Do not confuse the configuration of the spool with the type of line laying, in one case - the geometric shape of the spool, in the other - the shape of the line laid on it.


- laying with a straight cone- has a laying step increasing towards the side of the spool, allows you to get tapered line winding profile. Provides the farthest casting, while increasing the likelihood of spontaneous descent of the fishing line.

- reverse laying cone- has a step decreasing towards the side, allows you to get back-tapered line winding profile. Completely eliminates the spontaneous coming off of the fishing line, but at the same time, the casting distance of the bait is reduced.

In order to avoid “beards” coming off, it is necessary not to wind the fishing line to the edge of the side, leaving 1.5 - 2.0 mm. An important requirement for an inertialess reel, regardless of the type of laying and the feed mechanism, is the quality of the winding of the fishing line - it must lie evenly over the entire surface of the spool, excluding wavy bumps, bumps and dips.

Spool profile types

All of the above line winding profiles can be obtained with one spool with a straight (cylindrical) type of laying, while using interchangeable spools of various configurations.

In most cases, spools of the following geometric shapes are used:

- cylinder ("straight")

- cone ("cone")

- reverse cone ("reverse cone")

The cylindrical laying spool, thanks to the constant spool feed pitch, lays the line evenly and evenly over its entire surface, reflecting the spool configuration on the shape of the line being wound.

Freewheel size

In most cases, two digital signature options are used to indicate the size of a spinning reel:

Option 1 - the size increases from a smaller number to a larger one; from "1000" to "12000" with dimensional step "500", those. "1000", "1500", "2000", "2500", etc. It is indicated by large numbers on the spool of the reel. See Photo 3. For traditional ways of angling fish, the sizes of reels from "1000" to "5000" are mainly used. Large reels, from "5000" and above, are used in gear for catching large fish from the shore, in cases where it is required to fit many meters of thick fishing line on the spool;


Option 2- the size increases from left to right; from "020", "025", "030" and above with a dimensional step "005".

The sizes of both options have a rough correspondence with each other. The size "1000" corresponds to the size "020", "1500" - "025", "2000" - "030", etc. The size value serves to represent and compare the geometric (overall) dimensions of the reel, on which the weight, line capacity and power of the reel depend. Moreover, the dimension is relative, not having an exact standard, serving to represent and compare coils from one manufacturer.

For greater accuracy when comparing coils by size, it is necessary to take into account the name and model range of the coil. In Photo 3, the name of the coil is highlighted in red, and the model range is indicated by the letters "AH" in front of the digital signature "2000".

What size coil to take; "1000" - "thousander" or "2000" - "two thousandth" depends on what class of spinning you are going to use it with, observing the requirement of "tackle harmony", taking into account the overall balance of the rod. With light rods of the class Ultra Light (UL) use "thousanders" or "one and a half thousandths", for the class Light (L)“one and a half thousandths” or “two thousandths” are recommended, according to the principle, the more powerful the rod, the more capacious and powerful the reel.


Reel capacity is determined by the length of the monofilament line that can fit on the spool. Depends on the geometric dimensions of the spool, its diameter, length and depth of the profile. Using interchangeable spools of different depths on one reel, you can manipulate its line capacity and use different fishing lines.

Practically, all manufacturers of inertialess reels apply advisory markings on them in the format "mm/ m ”- diameter of the fishing line / length of the fishing line. For example, "0.18/240 0.20/200 0.25/140" means that coils can be wound on the spool 240 m fishing line with its diameter 0.18 mm. or 200 m lines with a diameter 0.20 mm or 0.25/140 respectively.

Coil Rotor Speed

The rotor speed is set gear ratio drive mechanism and the rate of rotation of the handle. The gear ratio is determined by the ratio of one revolution of the handle to a certain number of revolutions of the coil rotor. It is indicated on the spool of the reel with the word "Gear ratio" and the ratio of numbers. For example: "5.0:1" means that in one revolution of the handle, the rotor makes five revolutions; "3.6:1" - for one revolution of the handle, the rotor makes three whole and six tenths of a revolution.


When buying a bookmaker, it is very important to consider it. gear ratio, so - as the coils produced today have a large "range" of gear ratios, from 3.2:1 before 7.2:1 .

Despite the fact that all BCs seem to serve one common goal - catching fish, it is carried out in different ways and in different fishing conditions, taking into account which you should choose a reel. In this category, BCs have the following classification:

- low-speed (power)- gear ratio from 3.2:1 to 4.3:1. They are used for playing and catching large (strong) fish using large and heavy lures. As a rule, they have a metal spool of large capacity, are equipped with a powerful handle and a larger than usual line roller. The details of the mechanism are made of durable materials, ensuring the reliability and stability of the BC mechanism to loads. For reels of this type, slow wiring or trolling is preferred.

— universal- gear ratio from 4.5:1 to 6.1:1. They have a wide range of applications in different types and methods of fishing (bottom, match, Bologna, etc.), including spinning fishing. They are used for both slow and fast wiring, with lures of different sizes and weights.

- high-speed - gear ratio from 6.2:1 to 7.2:1. are used where fast line reeling is required: for some types of spinning wiring, when using light and soft lures with jig heads; in fishing methods requiring frequent casting of equipment and quick elimination of sagging fishing line. High-speed BCs have found sufficient application both in spinning and match fishing. When choosing a BC, it must be borne in mind that the length of the fishing line selected (wound) for one full turn of the handle depends on the gear ratio of the reel - a characteristic that has a serious impact on the technique of wiring the bait, especially wobblers.

Handle

Most models of spinning reels are equipped with push-button folding system, allowing it to be quickly folded by lightly pressing the button, and a screw mechanism for removing or rearranging the handle to the other side of the reel (photo 4). For these purposes, the BC has screw head, located on the opposite side of the handle, allowing you to effortlessly control the propeller.

In coils of high-speed models, a double handle is used or supplemented with a compensator (f from 5), d To prevent vibration associated with handle imbalance.

On some models of inertialess reels, there is no push-button system for folding the handle, and both functions (folding and rearranging the handle) are performed using a single screw mechanism, using which:

to fold the handle first loosen the screw, open or close the handle, then tighten it, fixing the handle in the desired position;

to change the handle coils, the screw is completely unscrewed, the handle is moved to the other side of the case, then the screw is inserted into the hole of the polyhedron and tightened until it stops.

Rotor backstop

Reverse spinning coil- the rotation of the rotor and the handle is considered, directed in the opposite direction to the working direction (winding the fishing line on the spool). Almost all spinning reels have a mechanism that can prevent the reverse rotation of the rotor and handle. He is called: "backstop" or "anti-reverse". When turned on, it blocks the rotation of the reel handle “on itself”, preventing the rotor from turning in the opposite direction, thereby preventing the consequences associated with loosening of the fishing line during reel operation.

The reverse stopper mechanism is located inside the coil, and a lever is placed on the outer part of its body, which activates or disables the anti-reverse.
Many anglers, for brevity or unknowingly, this “lever - flag” - the reverse stop switch, is called the anti-reverse itself, and giving it the loudest titles: “ reverse stopper, "anti-reverse stop", "reverse latch" etc. , which misleads and confuses people mastering the fishing business.

The anti-reverse makes it possible to implement hooking fish with one hand, which is indispensable in float fishing and very convenient in spinning. The ease of use of the BC is not the main purpose of the backstop, its main task is to protect the reel mechanism from critical loads associated with jerks when playing, at the time of hooking a large fish, with a dead hook and other similar situations.

The design of the backstop mechanism has evolved from a "stepped stop" to an "instant anti-reverse".

Stepped backstop, is based on a multi-toothed ratchet gear, monolithic with a coil rotor. The bevelled teeth of the gear allow the spring-loaded lever of the handle to move along them in one direction and do not allow it to move to the other, resting against it during rotation.

Instant stop (anti-reverse) is an overrunning clutch made on the basis of a roller bearing. The disadvantage of the stepped stopper was the backlash of the handle, formed by the "free" zone between adjacent teeth of the ratchet gear. As a result, the stopper does not have the ability to work instantly, and the handle and rotor of the reel rotated at a certain angle - the “angle of free play”.
For this reason, sharp jerks when hooking a fish or a hook that is not much different from a bite cause serious shocks in the ratchet gear mechanism and lead to its premature failure.

The design of the instant backstop based on a freewheel using a needle bearing completely eliminated this disadvantage, which is especially evident when using low-stretch braided fishing line.

On spinning reels, the most common location for the backstop switch lever is on the top of the back of the housing. In addition to the standard location, on some models it can be located on the lower surface of the housing, in the area adjacent to the rotor.

When purchasing a spinning reel, pay attention to:

line roller must be made of materials that are not easily abraded (stainless steel, brass or bronze with a corrosion-resistant hard-alloy coating) and it is desirable to have a ball bearing;

line roller stroke - with a match or a piece of paper folded in half, imitate the movement of the fishing line along the roller, make sure that it rotates easily, and the match or piece of paper does not slip along the fixed surface of the roller;

line guide bracket- open the bracket and shake the coil sharply, simulating a cast, it should not spontaneously close;

rotor stroke - spin the coil rotor with two or three quick turns of the handle and release it, pay attention to the duration of rotation of the rotor and handle without your help. By how long and freely they rotate under the influence of inertia, one can judge the course of the rotor. If the drive mechanism is not able to continue rotating by inertia or makes sounds of unknown origin during rotation, this indicates a difficult rotor move and it is better to refuse to buy such a coil;

handle travel- with a slow rotation of the handle, its course should be smooth, uniform, without jerks, shocks and extraneous sounds;

mechanism balancing. vibration of the coil is unacceptable during the rapid rotation of the handle;

spool play - transverse play is prohibited (in the direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation);

reel handle - its transverse play is highly undesirable. It is necessary to check the system of folding and rearranging the handle to the other side of the reel ;

number of bearings- at least 5 (marked "5 + 1" or "6" in the lower part of the coil body, under the spool or on it);

instant backstop - it is necessary to make sure that the mechanism for blocking the reverse motion of the coil is working. Tightly blocked rotation of the handle "on itself", with the stopper on, indicates its serviceability;

coil body- a visual examination of the coil body will help to identify possible defects on it (cracks, scratches, bumps).

Happy and successful fishing! It is not the result that matters, but the process itself!

It will be useful for any angler to know the basic principles of how a spinning reel works. Its mechanism is fundamentally different from the inertia and the multiplier, which we wrote about in the article “ How to choose a spinning reel according to various characteristics».

The axis, on which the spool is located, is mounted in the direction of movement of the scaffold. In addition, it is static both during casting and at the time of reeling, which eliminates the inertial force. Consider the main elements of the coil.


The scheme of the device of the inertialess coil includes a friction brake, which can be located both in front of the body and behind. Prevents spool rotation when line is being reeled under load. With excessive effort, for example, when hooking or playing a fish, it pits the line to avoid a rush.

The rear drag is appropriate for carp fishing or feeder fishing, as it is impossible to predict the weight of the fish that will be hooked. The form with such fishing is constantly located on the stands.

Consider the principles of how a spinning reel works. During casting, the line slides through the side of the stationary spool. Before throwing the tackle, the line stacker snaps off to the side so as not to interfere with the descent of the thread.

After turning the line laying bracket, the thread lies on the roller, due to which the correct winding on the spool is carried out. Winding is carried out in two ways:

  • turn to turn, however, in this case, the upper horizons often fall down, preventing the release of the forest at the time of casting;
  • cruciform winding, minus which reduces the capacity of the spool.

The principle of operation of the inertialess reel lies in the special fastening of the spool, which is carried out in two ways: with an end button on the lock or rigidly. Rigid mounting is preferable, as there is a possibility of changing the spool.

If an extreme load on the tackle is inevitable when playing trophy specimens, it is necessary to use a friction brake, which has an adjustment. Adjustment can be made either in the form of a lamb on the spool or a knob, which is more preferable.

There are various types of switches - slide or flag - due to them, the work of the inertialess coil, or rather, its brake mechanism, is carried out. The most common are slide switches, which are located at the bottom or rear of the case.

Any reel has its own line winding profile, and special washers are used to adjust the geometry, which can be included in the kit. If they are absent, you can decide for yourself what to make the washer for the inertialess coil from. It is important to remember that front and rear drag reels have different adjustments.

The use of a spinning starter begins from the moment a braided cord or monofilament line is wound on it. This is done in the following way. The meat grinder is attached to the rod, then, starting from the tip, the forest is passed through the rings. The line stacker bracket leans back, the lines are fixed on the spool using a special stopper or a self-tightening knot.

After that, the shackle returns to its original position and the line is wound up. In order to know how to make the most efficient reel, it is important to remember that the upper turns of the line should not reach the side of the spool for a distance of no more than one and a half millimeters, in order to ensure easy thread coming off.

Now that you have a spinning reel in your hands, how to use it will not be difficult. We wrote about this in detail in the article " Basic rules for casting spinning with a spinning reel».

  • When releasing the line or reeling it in, it is necessary to ensure that the bait is about one and a half meters from the tip.
  • Pinch the line to the rod with your finger and snap off the line stacker bracket.
  • How to fish with a spinning reel: make a swing, moving the blank behind your back or to the side, and throw it forward with increasing acceleration.
  • At the last moment, let go of the line, which will start to come off the spool.
  • After splashing down the equipment, snap the line stacker.

First of all, it is important to know not how to use an inertialess reel with a front drag or rear drag, but until the very end of the swing and at the end of it, carefully monitor where the bait is, otherwise you can pick up a colleague in such a way that it won’t seem enough.

If the coil is stored carelessly and is also transported, it can fail at any time due to moisture and sand. The consequences are unpleasant - the lubricant is mixed with abrasives, noise increases, and the softness of the stroke is significantly reduced. Therefore, when thinking about how best to transport and store a spinning reel, it is better to use covers or plastic and wooden boxes.

1. Inertialess coil device

To begin with, let's get acquainted with the device of an inertialess reel with a front fractional brake. Why this type of clutch?

For spinning fishing (including jig fishing), the front drag used in light and ultralight gear is important.

The task of any friction– smooth etching of the thread in the process of playing.

The front friction brake is sensitive and reliable due to its simple design features, which is an advantage over the rear clutch. The brake adjuster is located on top and is designed to fix the spool. However, it has one drawback- when fighting is not subject to regulation, in this characteristic his colleague wins.

For information on what a friction clutch is and how to set it up correctly, see the Kiev Sea channel

Let's see what other points are important when choosing the best reel for jig tackle? To do this, let's take a closer look at the mechanism of the coil ...

2. The mechanism of action of the inertialess coil

The interior of the case consists of three elements:

  • gear pair;
  • backstop;
  • drive mechanism.

Rotating with the help of the handle, the spool makes reciprocating movements (back and forth), and the rotor is responsible for laying the fishing line on this spool. Moreover, in this type of fishing reel, the spinning player has the opportunity to install the handle from any side convenient to him.

The line layer bracket can be installed in one of two possible positions:

  1. Casting position when the clevis is parallel to the tackle.
  2. The position for reeling in when the shackle is locked in a perpendicular position to the tackle.

The regulator responsible for the thread tension can be located both on the bobbin, where the locking button is located, and on the back of the case. In many models of fishing spinning reels, such a fixed button is not provided, so the “spool” lock is combined with a friction clutch.

For more information about the principles of operation of a fishing reel, see an educational film

3. Rules for choosing a spinning coil

In order to make the right choice of a fishing reel for successful jig fishing, you need to decide on:

  1. Fishing conditions.
  2. The weight of bait and prey.
  3. Line diameter.
  4. The size of spinning rings for jig.

Also, take into account such important characteristics as:

  • price;
  • friction type;
  • coil body material;
  • gear ratio;
  • and other equally important elements.

3.1 Choosing an inertialess coil by price

Types of jig coils by price:

  1. Cheap (budget) models are presented on the market by Asian manufacturers. The cost of such a jig coil does not exceed $50. The characteristics of that item of equipment allow the use of such coils. Their quality is average and the service life can be more than one year. With such reels it is recommended to start your jig fishing training.
  2. Reels of the middle price range (from $ 50 to $ 150) are distinguished by their quality, which depends on the material of manufacture, power and smoothness when using the reel in fishing.
  3. The expensive lineup is designed for professional anglers willing to spend $300 or more for a jig fishing reel. The main leader in the manufacture of a miracle coil that meets the highest rates, both in assembly quality and in use, are the Japanese.

3.2 Body material of the freewheel coil

The choice of the “right” jig coil is made not only by specific characteristics, but also by the quality of the material of the coil body. Spinning reels are usually made of metal, plastic or a combination of materials. The highest quality material is metal (titanium, aluminum, bronze, stainless steel). Therefore, jig spinners prefer to use reels made of such durable materials.

Coils of budget lines are made from a modern type of plastic called "carboplastic", which makes them resistant to various loads and protects the owner's wallet.

For beginner jig riders, you can opt for inexpensive models made of carboplastic.

3.3 Gear ratio in a free-running reel

Gear ratio- this is the characteristic that indicates the number of turns of the line stacker for one turn of the handle.

In this regard, there are two types of fishing reels:

  1. Traction reels designed for heavy jigging and big game. The gear ratio is less than 5 to 1.
  2. High-speed - they are characterized by fast speed, designed for laying a thin cord. Gear ratio over 5 to 1.

Thus, the best option, both for a beginner and for an experienced angler, is a universal fishing reel with a ratio of 4 to 1 or 5 to 1, since when performing uniform wiring, with a reel of more than 5 to 1, it will simply be impossible to lure slowly, it will move rapidly and we will not get the attention of the fish at such speeds.

It is important that the line laying roller be selected from hard metal alloys.

You can read a detailed description of jig fishing techniques, types of postings here

3.4 Freewheel size

A feature of this indicator is the absence of specific rules in the designation of sizes. So, different manufacturers indicate their own size range.

For example, reels from the Japanese Shimano have thousands of designations:

  1. Sizes 1000 - 2000 - these sizes are designed for light silicone lures and fishing tackle weighing up to 8 g. They are suitable for spinning beginners.
  2. Sizes 2500 - 3000 - sizes intended for the use of medium-weight silicone lures and rigs 10-16 g.
  3. Sizes 3500 - 6000 - are used exclusively in heavy jigging for large trophy fish. The weight of baits is from 18 g and above.

Read about what silicone baits are, their types, features and variety of attachment methods here.

How to choose the right size according to the length of the spinning rod and the weight of the lure? We encourage you to use the information below:

  1. Spinning up to 180 cm with test:
    up to 5 g - size 500;
    from 5 to 15 g - size 500-1000;
    from 20 to 40 g - size 2000 - 3000.
  2. Spinning up to 210 cm with test:
    up to 5 g - size 500 - 1000;
    from 5 to 15 g - size 1000;
    from 15 to 40 g - size 2000 - 2500.
  3. Spinning up to 240 cm with dough:
    up to 15 g - size 1000;
    from 15 to 30 g - size 2000 - 2500;
    from 30 to 50 g - size 2500.

Important, there may be discrepancies between the sizes of different manufacturers. So, a Shimano reel size 3000 corresponds to the size of the Daiwa reel brand, whose size is 2500. In this case, these two indicators are identical. Also, for example, reels of Asian manufacturers with dimensions of 1500-2000 will be identical in characteristics to reels from European manufacturers, which indicate their sizes not in thousands, but in tens - 15-20, and these two different types of inertialess are suitable for light class rods and lures weighing up to 14 g. The average class of a rod with baits from 15 to 35 g is equal to Asian reels with a size of 2000-3500 and, accordingly, European reels with a size designation in tens - 20-35. Knowing the size range of a particular manufacturer, you can also navigate in the sizes of another manufacturer.

Well, if other parameters are indicated, then you should be guided by the principle: a large number = a heavier class of coil.

Why is coil size important? Because if you ignore it, the coil may break due to unnecessary loads, and if you use it the other way around, the necessary sensitivity of the gear will disappear.

3.5 Features of the spinning spool

Spool- an important structural element of the coil. Her task is to wind the thread. Production material - metal (aluminum) or carbon fiber. When using braid, the choice should be on an aluminum spool. High-quality (expensive) spools have special titanium-coated sides that protect the thread from friction and damage.

Plastic spools are used only for nylon lines. Also, such spools can act as a spare element with wound monofilament fishing line. This will provide an additional opportunity to select a specific spool depending on changing fishing conditions.

Spool capacity- an important characteristic that tells us about the number of meters of fishing line of a particular diameter that can fit on this element of a spinning reel. For example, there is a mark of 0.3 mm / 150 m, which means that the capacity is 150 m with a line diameter of 0.3 mm.

Spools are deep do not affect the casting distance, but are used for large diameter braid and monofilament.

Spools are not deep (air spool)- designed for thin braids.

Long cast spools- are used for catching carp and are not used for spinning.

Reverse taper spools used in spinning reels, the reverse cone affects the ejection of the thread and reduces line tangling. Read more about laying line on a spool, including the difference between a reverse cone and a straight one, read here http://rybalca.com/katushki/ukladka-leski.html

3.6 Fishing reel bearings

What are bearings for?

  1. To reduce the load on the tackle in the process of catching fish.
  2. Serves for smooth operation of the entire reel mechanism.

4. Symbols used on spinning reels

So, the presence of a long cast or match spool function means the presence of a function for the casting distance of the bait, which is important when determining fishing conditions.

Inertialess coils can also be marked with other designations, knowledge of which will help you better navigate the choice of a particular model:

  • "gear ratio" - the larger this number, the greater the speed of winding the line;
  • "ball bearing" - this designation determines the number of bearings;
  • "ats", or "anti-twis" - indicates the presence of an anti-twisting system that reduces the ability of the line to twist;
  • "fightin' drag" - two-stage friction adjustment;
  • "continuous anti-reverse" - softening the impact force on the gears;
  • "avto cast", or "speed cast" - semi-automatic casting;
  • "avs", "dyna balance" - anti-vibration system;
  • "ergonomic design" - the presence of an ergonomic design.

Such parameters, for example, are endowed with coils from the manufacturer Daiwa.

5. Pros and cons of a spinning reel

Advantage of spinless fishing reels:

  • compact dimensions;
  • lungs;
  • suitable for any methods of spinning fishing;
  • fast winding, which is perfectly reflected in dynamic jig fishing;
  • the simple design of the reel allows the beginner to cast the first time;
  • high friction sensitivity.

However, inertialess is not as ideal as we would like:

  • the spring in the line stacker may break;
  • when winding, the fishing line can twist;
  • when casting, you can get an independent drop of the fishing line;
  • the clutch may start to work unevenly;
  • The loop of line may tangle around the line roller, etc.
  • the price affects the quality of the coil, the more, the better and more durable it will be.

Tips:

  • to prolong the life of the inertialess coil with a front friction system, it is necessary to unscrew the clutch to its maximum softness in case of non-use and during transportation;
  • the shackle of the line-layer must be closed by hand, if the discharge is carried out with the handle, then the mechanism may break;
  • turn off the flag that is responsible for the reverse move.
  • the brake must be set so that when the spinning is loaded, the fishing line (braid) comes off slowly, which will prevent it from breaking or breaking the gear.

If your reel of choice has an instantaneous backstop, this will increase the sensitivity of your blank and have a positive effect on sudden bites.

As for the spring, which is provided on the handle of the line stacker, in this case the “pin” will act as a minus, which does not differ in durability. Coils with long and twisted springs are better and more reliable.

If a rigid composition braid is used in jig fishing, then it should be wound up to the very edges of the reel, and if it is soft, then with a deviation from the edge of up to 2 mm. Leave a supply of line on the spool. This nuance will help you when catching a large predator, which, resisting, will run away from you to the sides and with hooks that several meters of fishing thread are taken from the angler in one fishing trip.

Also, for fishing in sea water, you should select special reels. Remember that you will not be able to use one reel for both freshwater and saltwater fishing.

The main parameters of the fishing reel, which you need to focus on:

  • lack of play of the handle;
  • winding of the fishing line should be uniform and smooth;
  • lack of independent snapping of the line laying machine;
  • lack of vibration when rotating the coil;
  • free play and friction brake must work clearly.

Watch a short video from Victor Pol to learn how to properly cast tackle equipped with a spinning reel.

7. Care and maintenance of the fishing reel

A professional angler (the author of the video “Hunter and Fisher”) will tell and show in detail about the maintenance of a spinning reel

This article provides the main criteria for choosing a spinning reel for jig fishing. Do not forget that everyone chooses a coil exclusively for their own conditions, skills, desires and opportunities.

First of all, for the safety of your spinning - use a special tube. Most models of spinning rods consist of two sections, the length of which is more than a meter. The tube will reliably protect the spinning from the possibility of breakage of the rod tip, besides, it is a very convenient way of transportation.

Make sure you buy a spinning tube with a reel, as this option is much more convenient than a rod-only tube.

There is nothing complicated in handling a spinning reel with a spinning reel:

  1. Before casting, make sure the lure is tied tightly to the end of the line or to the swivel that connects the line and the lure. It allows the line not to twist, thereby the bait behaves more naturally during the wiring.
  2. By lowering the fishing line from the spool, or winding the reel by turning the handle, ensure that the bait is about 1-1.5 meters from the tip of the spinning rod.
  3. Now, with your index finger, press the fishing line that goes from the reel to the first ring and fold back the line handle. Now the spool is in a free state, if you release your finger, the line will begin to reel in.
  4. Make a swing, not necessarily strong, just take the tip of the rod behind your back or to the side. Now bitingly (for the first time not necessarily strong) wave the rod forward, pointing with the tip where the bait needs to fly and at the very last moment release the finger that holds the line.
  5. The line will start to come off the spool, and the bait will fly to the place where you cast.
  6. Immediately after the bait lands in the water, tilt the line layer to the standard position so that the line does not continue to leave the spool and a “beard” does not form.

You need to reel in the line by rotating the reel, depending on the type of your wiring. If you want to fish along the bottom - wait until the bait falls to the bottom, holding the line in tension, after falling to the bottom - the line will sag a little, at this moment you need to start wiring.

If you want to fish from above, you need to start wiring immediately after the bait falls into the water and quickly reel in.

When casting, be sure to keep an eye on where your bait is before the final swing so that you don’t inadvertently hook your fishing mates, for example in a boat where there is not much room to swing.

The use of a spinning starter begins from the moment a braided cord or monofilament line is wound on it. This is done in the following way. The meat grinder is attached to the rod, then, starting from the tip, the forest is passed through the rings. The line stacker bracket leans back, the lines are fixed on the spool using a special stopper or a self-tightening knot.

Multiplier are spinning reels multiplier reels created in the 20th century. Unlike inertial spinning reels, multiplier reels have sophisticated axial brake functions, the ability to turn off the spool and much more.

All functions and applications, main advantages, disadvantages, how to choose a multiplier spinning reel and how to use it will be described below.

How to install a spinning reel

This is a fairly simple action that any beginner can do. It is necessary to unscrew the mount and insert the coil into a special holder on the spinning handle. After that, it is necessary to tighten the ring so that it presses the base of the coil. Tighten it tightly so that the coil does not hang out.

However, do not apply excessive force so as not to strip the thread, which is made of plastic.

How to wind a fishing line

For successful fishing, you need to choose the right spinning reel. Store clerks are often lenient with newcomers, thinking only of sales. Therefore, read my note for a beginner spinning player.

Spinning reels fall into three categories:

  • inertial coils;
  • spinning coils;
  • multiplier reels;

If you are new to the fisherman's path, then it is better to buy a spinning reel, because it is less fuss. When buying a reel, you need to pay attention to eight criteria. embodying its reliability:

  • smooth running;
  • winding evenness;
  • bobbin size;
  • shackle lesoukladyvatel;
  • line roller;
  • coil weight;
  • handle;
  • clutch;

Let's take a closer look at these options.

The first important criterion is the smoothness of the ride.

It affects the sensitivity of the coil. The higher it is, the easier it will be to catch. The smoothness of the ride depends on the build quality of the coil, the materials used in its manufacture, weight and other parameters. The basis of success is the ability of the fisherman to control the bait, and it is impossible to do without the right tackle, which is based on the reel mechanism.

Winding evenness

Undoubtedly, an important parameter, especially when fishing with braids or thin line. The line should fit perfectly in the bobbin. without dips and bumps. Uneven winding significantly shortens the cast. As a result, loops are formed. The line will simply get tangled and gather into a ball. Fishing will be ruined. Modern reels wind the line evenly, so you should not worry too much about this.

And here you can get acquainted with the classification of wobblers.

Bobbin size

The spool must be large, because it can be put on a fishing line of any thickness. The numbers 1000, 2000 on the spool indicate the size of the spool and the spool itself. The reel also indicates how much line it can hold.

Particular attention should be paid to the material from which the bobbin is made. Usually it is metal or plastic. Plastic is much lighter, and therefore the coil itself is lighter. But the metal bobbin provides a request for several meters longer.

Also ask about the availability of a spare spool in the kit. If not, then find out if spools are sold separately for this model.

Shackle of the line stacker

The shape of the temple practically does not play a role, despite the fact that they are hollow, thin or standard. The main thing is that when closing the bow, the fishing line immediately hits the roller, and does not cling to bumps and protrusions.

Inspect the part carefully and check for any burrs. If there is, then fishing will go wrong, as they will turn the line into a solid lump.

The cost of the coils does not always play a role here. This disadvantage occurs both in cheap models and in expensive ones.

Pay attention to what kind of fixation the shackle has in the open position. She must be reliable. If this is not observed, then there will be a constant "shooting" of baits. The shackle will suddenly close, and the bait will not reach the selected place. You can check as follows: open the coil bail, and shake it sharply. If it's closed, refrain from buying.

line roller

The roller ensures the correct winding of the fishing line. There are universal models and special ones designed for fishing with braided fishing lines.

Each manufacturer praises their own rollers. There is nothing difficult in their choice.

The main thing is that there are no kinks, burrs and grooves on the rollers. Check how the device responds to the impact, to it.

At the slightest touch on the roller, it must rotate, otherwise the fishing line will fray it. It also happens that the fishing line drinks through the bows, because it does not fall on the roller.

You can't check this when buying. Just pay attention to this when fishing and, if something goes wrong, take the reel to the seller.

Coil weight

Controversial indicator. The gears inside the case must be made of durable metal. Plastic gears degrade the sensitivity of the coil. Many people think that the heavier the reel, the longer it will last, but the choice is yours.

Clutches differ in the degree of load and are rear and front. The degree of loading is different on each model.

Ask the seller about the power of the selected model. Today, even on budget versions of coils, friction clutches can work with heavy loads.

If after some time you want to use the brake, then refuse to choose reels with a rear drag. It leaves much to be desired on almost all models.

And here you will read about catching pike on spinning.

The life of a fisherman would be much more complicated if, in addition to a quality rod, his arsenal did not include a good multiplier reel (MK).

This device is a modernized version of the inertial reel - the good old drum version, rotating due to inertia and so familiar to seasoned fishermen. In this article, we will discuss what a multiplier reel is and touch on the most important aspects of this topic.

As mentioned above, the multiplier coil is a variation of the inertial coil. However, the advantages of the multiplier reel compared to its predecessor lie in the dramatically increased performance indicators, as well as in the possibility of using it in a wide variety of types of spinning fishing.

Now we will analyze what a multiplier coil is for. The main purpose of the MK is to catch trophy specimens using heavy feeders.

If your priority is hunting for large fish, working with heavy spinners, if you want to confidently fight fish that can resist being on the hook, then you just need to purchase multiplier reels for spinning.

Now, in a nutshell, we will describe how the multiplier spinning reel works. The principle of operation of the multiplier coil is quite simple. The body of the product contains a rotating spool that can hold 40-300 meters of fishing line. Under the tension of the fishing line when casting, the spool rotates freely, releasing as much line as necessary.

By turning the MK handle, the fisherman activates a gear transmission that rotates the spool. Simultaneous operation of the worm gear of the line stacker ensures smooth and uniform laying of the line across the entire width of the spool.

Now about how to use the multiplier reel so that it lasts a long time. First, let's find out how to set up a multiplier reel in such a way as to achieve the greatest casting distance, avoid dashes and “beards”. The centrifugal brake mechanism has special weights that regulate the speed of the spool. They are removable and can be adjusted.

The brake is needed in order to dampen the rotation of the spool, provided that it is strongly accelerated. Under the influence of centrifugal force, the weights diverge and are pressed against the wall, creating friction. That is why the correct setting of the multiplier reel excludes the removal of all loads, since there will be no braking effect when casting.

Since it is impossible to use a multiplier spinning reel effectively and comfortably without a properly configured mechanical brake, the next step is to adjust it. After the reel is installed on the rod, and the bait is selected and fixed, we tighten the brake adjuster.

The force on the spool must be created until the load stops falling to the ground when the rod is raised. Next, just lightly wave the rod - if the mechanical brake is adjusted correctly, then the bait will drop by about 30-40 centimeters.

In order to understand how to choose a multiplier spinning reel, you need to know what you need to pay attention to when buying a product. First of all, think about what material your MK should be made of.

Of course, a product in a metal case will better withstand all the difficult conditions of fishing, but if you use the tackle carefully, then it can last a long time in a plastic case.

Before choosing a multiplier reel for spinning, answer yourself the question - with which hand will you cast. If your working hand is right, then buy a left-handed MK.

Otherwise, stop choosing a multiplier spinning reel on the right-hand version. The last option is a classic, in which case the fisherman casts the bait with his left hand, and rotates the MK with his right.

Another good tip on how to choose a multiplier reel is to pay attention to the gear ratio and line diameter. The first parameter allows you to stop the choice of either traction or speed gear.

The choice of a multiplier reel is certainly important, but it is also important that a good product lasts a long time. To do this, you need to ensure competent maintenance of the multiplier reel. Periodically, after the end of the season, disassemble the tackle, clean it from the old grease and add a new one. At the first extraneous sounds and warning signs, diagnose and repair.

HOW TO USE THE COIL

This section, I think, should be started with the basic or mandatory requirements for a working coil in general, so that we can continue the conversation about the operation and repair of an inertialess coil. And if the product is not able to work normally in fishing mode, then it makes no sense to use such a reel.

So, what are the elementary requirements for a functional inertialess coil?

1. The movement of the reel should be easy, without crackles and crunches.

2. The shackle or brace of the line layer must be fixed securely during the sharpest jerks that occur during casts. There should be no spontaneous discharges of the shackle, which can lead to a break in the fishing line.

If you catch fish very intensively, besides quite large, then not all gear, of course, can withstand it. There are several rules that allow you to save spinning coils.

Rule number 1. If you are going to buy a spinning reel, you should not choose too simple and cheap models.

As a rule, these products are characterized by the least strength. Naturally, it is much more difficult to maintain than an expensive coil made of very durable materials.

The same simplest coils are made of silumin and cheap plastic and are most likely made in China. Therefore, before choosing an inertialess coil, you should take this into account.

Rule number 2. What to do with the hook.

Of course, it is better to play it safe and use the cuts to release the bait. To save the coil, you can cut off the snap. if she messed up too much.

Every professional knows that it is necessary to pump out the fish with a rod, and not to play the fish with a reel. Then the fish will not have the opportunity to dive into the reeds or hide under the snag.

Rule number 4. If it happens that you submerge the coil in water, you should not put it on the sand to dry. The wind sprinkles the coil with additional portions of sand, as a result of which its entire mechanism will be in it, which will not contribute to its long life.

Rule number 5. It is not necessary to close the line stacker bracket by scrolling the reel handle. You need to open the bracket, make a cast, and then close the bracket with your hand.

Pleasure, from a light morning breeze in complete silence, away from the hustle and bustle, many people get from fishing. And with the new spinless reel, the fun is enhanced by the length of the line. Read the easy-to-follow instructions. It contains the steps for preparing the coil for its operation in various conditions. Easy fish for you!

Stage one. Will tell you how easy it is to wind the line on the spool. How to easily remove the spool and carefully insert it into the spool

Unscrew the spool from the spool. Attach the string to it. There are reels with a rear friction clutch, press the button on the spool in them. In other models, unscrew the adjustment screw, which is located on the spool in front of the spool.

Carefully, without using force, open the line guide. Insert the spool onto the axle. Rotate slowly. This can be done in the direction that is convenient for you. Wait for the bobbin lock to click. Then, closing the line layer, you simply wind up the line. See that the line is always in tension, this will allow you to wind it more evenly.

Wind up to the edge, having finished winding, a couple of millimeters before the end of the edge at the spool. Try using lines of different diameters. You will just need to have different spools for your reel, change it as needed. Spools are sold in different capacities.

Stage two. We fix the line. We study the use of anti-reverse properties.

The creators of the reel came up with a convenient mechanism so that the fishing line does not rotate in the opposite direction when winding. You simply turn on the switch located in the back of your coil. Or you will find this switch at the bottom of the case.

Stage three. Brake. We adjust the brake part of the coil.

The line is strong, but when catching large fish, it can break. You just need to use the brake when jerking and resisting the fish.

Adjust it before you start fishing. The fishing line must be passed through the line stacker.

Gently thread it into the rings that are on the fishing rod. Fasten the line.

Turn on anti-reverse. Be sure to check it before you start fishing.

Attach the rod to a small angle, about 45 degrees. Set the desired threshold with the adjustment screw.

Check how the clutch will work. When the limit is reached, turn the brake adjuster to the left, about one quarter of a full turn.

Adjust this mechanism carefully. Do everything gently without effort. Excessive jerking can cause damage to the rod or the reel itself. This type of damage is not covered by the warranty.

Stage four. A brief overview of the first steps when casting.

We take a spinning rod where the coil is fixed. You have already adjusted the brake mechanism in the third step. Checked the anti-reverse. You can take it in any hand. With your finger, press the line against the handle, two centimeters from the line catcher. Then you need to open the line laying arc.

Before casting, look around. There should be no obstacles along the entire flight path necessary for a good casting of the fishing line. Everything should be free for not only the flight of the fishing line, but also the subsequent wiring of the bait.

Proper spinning equipment and tackle management is a big contributor to the success of your spinning fishing. About how to manage the tackle and make the right equipment - further.

The reel is the most important part of the spinning tackle, which gave the name to the very method of fishing. The essence of this method is the animation of an artificial bait mounted at the end of the fishing line.

To animate the bait, the angler performs the wiring, for which he rotates the handle of the reel, reeling in the line. Translated from English, spinning means "rotation".

And so we will consider what coils are, we will select the best ones, we will analyze such issues as the device and methods of application and how to choose a coil for a beginner.

All of them can be used in spinning, but today spinning is the most popular and common type. The multiplier is also used very often, but simple inertial ones are not used in modern spinning.

Inertial coil and multiplier

Inertia, or drum inertial - this is the simplest coil, consisting of a body, legs and spool (drum).

The multiplier, strictly speaking, is also an inertialess coil, but differs from a simple drum inertia in a more complex device.

In particular, a transmission mechanism is located between the handle and the spool, which provides the reel with great power and high line reeling speed, despite the fact that the multiplier is very compact.

Spinning reel

The inertialess reel is fundamentally different from the inertial reel and the multiplier in that the spool axis in it is parallel to the direction of movement of the fishing line during casting and rotation of the handle.

The spool does not rotate during casting and line reeling, which means that the casting distance is not affected by inertia. It is because of this feature that this type of coil got its name.

First of all, you need to decide in what conditions, what kind of fish and what baits are supposed to be caught, and also choose an acceptable price range for the reels.

After these issues are resolved, it is necessary to pay attention to several main aspects.

If you catch fish very intensively, besides quite large, then not all gear, of course, can withstand it. There are several rules that allow you to save spinning coils.

Of course, it is better to play it safe and use the cuts to release the bait. To save the coil, you can break off the snap if it is tangled too much.

Of course, every self-respecting angler should know how to use a spinning reel installed on his rod, what loads it is designed for, what can be expected from it in a given situation and how it needs to be set up for effective operation.

Due to their versatility, they are in high demand among different categories of fishermen, so manufacturers produce different models that can better meet their needs. Consider the most important nuances that need to be considered when operating inertialess.

How to set up an inertialess reel, wind the line correctly and take into account many other nuances that will help avoid the formation of a beard, drop loops, increase the casting range of tackle - these are the questions that primarily concern anglers.

Currently, the vast majority of rods are equipped with reels. For many beginners who do not think about the intricacies of fishing, this is just a mechanism for winding the line. However, this did not motivate, and often the success of fishing depends on the correct use of the inertialess.

The use of a spinning starter begins from the moment a braided cord or monofilament line is wound on it. This is done in the following way. The meat grinder is attached to the rod, then, starting from the tip, the forest is passed through the rings. The line stacker bracket leans back, the lines are fixed on the spool using a special stopper or a self-tightening knot.

After that, the shackle returns to its original position and the line is wound up. In order to know how to make the most efficient reel, it is important to remember that the upper turns of the line should not reach the side of the spool for a distance of no more than one and a half millimeters, in order to ensure easy thread coming off.

The spool is a removable element that performs the function of the main cord storage. Due to the translational movements of the central rod, the cord is superimposed perfectly evenly on the chamfers of the drive, the likelihood of knots and overlaps is reduced to zero.

  • transmission built on screws;
  • the mechanism of interaction of gears and wings.

The screw device of the fishing line accumulator is based on a transmission pair, the operating instructions are as follows: the interaxial rotation of the main pair drives the “carriage”, by means of a fist cardan of the drive gears.

Modern models of inertialess coils are equipped with endless cycle screws, thanks to the threaded cross-threading at the exit, the structure receives a pitch of ditches of different sizes. As a result, the unwinding of the drive occurs at a fast speed, the laying of the fishing line is slower.

The shape of the profile is the geometric ebb of the spool, which is responsible for the line laying algorithm.

  • cylindrical shape;
  • conical shape;
  • inverted cone shape.

The cylindrical shape of the line storage ensures a constant winding pitch. Rectangular laying line increases the likelihood of line coming off the spool, the low cost of the profile generates high demand.

The conical shape of the line accumulator "cord placement step" increases in direct proportion towards the sides. The laying algorithm ensures the activation of the "long casting" function, however, the outcome is likely - the adjustment is carried out by a patch washer.

Drive profile shape "reverse cone": line laying decreases towards the sides (conical profile antagonist). The potential probability of fishing line coming off is reduced to zero, the protective mechanism prevents long-range casts.

Multiplier reels for spinning. The fact that a multiplier reel has certain advantages over a spinning reel attracts many anglers.

Every real fisherman knows how much time and effort is spent on choosing and buying a suitable spinning rod. Therefore, it is not surprising that with an unforeseen breakdown, mood is lost. In such situations, the ability to repair the spinning with your own hands helps out. The type of repair and the materials used for this depend on the type of spinning rod and the nature of the breakdown.

Types of spinning rods and reels

Spinning rods are of two main types:


A broken spinning rod with a telescopic rod is easier to repair.

Types of reels for spinning:


The first two, it is possible to fix it yourself. Multipliers are very complex, and their repair is best left to specialists. The only damage to this reel that you can fix on your own is tangling of the fishing line.

Rule number 2. What to do with the hook.

No professional angler will leave his favorite bait in the reeds or in the branches of an overgrown tree. To get rid of the hook, you need to try to turn the rod in such a way that the line goes to the reel line roller not directly, but through the rod rings.

The rod must be turned at an angle of 90 degrees to the line. Thus, we are trying to reduce the load on the reel mechanism.

Rule number 3. How to fish properly.

Every professional knows that it is necessary to pump out the fish with a rod, and not to play the fish with a reel. Then the fish will not have the opportunity to dive into the reeds or hide under the snag.

There she will certainly tangle the cord, and then it will be possible to say goodbye to both fish and lure. At these moments, a very strong load is placed on the coil, so you need to be as careful as possible to save it.

Advantages and disadvantages of coils

Despite the high quality and efficiency of these coils, not everyone uses them due to high prices and a narrow scope. But anglers who know how to use a baitcasting reel don't have to worry about line tangling due to the wide functionality and quality of the baitcasting reel.

The main advantages worth noting are:

  • high load capacity - the multiplier resembles a winch and is able to withstand loads of half a centner;
  • the ability to fish both light and heavy lures - due to the location of the rings, the bite will be sensitive;
  • trolling multipliers have a special counter of reeled line;
  • for its power, the multiplier is as compact as possible.

As disadvantages:

  • the first place will be the price - in addition to acquiring a multiplier, the fisherman will need a special rod for him with an upper arrangement of rings;
  • constant adjustment and care, special care when transferring;
  • problematic fishing at low temperatures;
  • poor resistance to dirt, which can lead to a malfunction of the mechanism.

The multiplier spinning reel is popular at sea for long casts. For beginners who use inertia, fishing with a multiplier reel can be difficult due to the unusual location of the multiplier.

Most anglers have switched to freewheels, considering them to be more efficient. In some cases this is true, but not always. Among the disadvantages include a low winding speed, tangling of the forest, the formation of beards, a limit on the mass of baits. If we talk about the pros, then the mechanism of the inertial coil is simple and reliable and very sensitive.

  1. The inertia is able to show all its advantages during wiring. It is not difficult to hand over the forest by unwinding the drum. In this case, there is no need to provide assistance with a rod, while the line will always be taut.
  2. When fishing with heavy jigs or a feeder, inertia will be preferable, since a reliable mechanism is able to withstand significant loads.
  3. An inertial reel is also convenient in the current with not very large jig lures. The rig is reeled in until the bait comes off the bottom, then the drum rotates in the opposite direction until the bait falls back to the bottom.
  4. When fishing by trolling, there is no alternative to inertia, however, in this case it is better to use a multiplier.

You can list a lot of fishing methods where inertia is indispensable: rafting with a small delay, pike on a live fish, lure in a plumb line, jerkbaits, fly fishing. And this is just the usual inertia, and if we take into account the multiplier, then the possibilities increase much, as we wrote about in the article “Casting with an inertial coil to maximum distances”.

This type of fishing reel is rightfully considered the most common and easiest to operate, but they, like almost every mechanical design, have their strengths and weaknesses. Their strengths include the following:

  1. Versatility. With the right selection of such a reel, you can effectively catch both the lightest and rather heavy lures.
  2. The ability to perform slow and fast wiring, quickly changing, if necessary, the pace.
  3. High sensitivity. A properly tuned coil will allow you to react in time to any bite.
  4. The presence of an adjustable friction brake. This in some cases allows you to save the tackle from the cliff.

The negative properties of such a mechanism include the following:

  1. A fairly complex design that requires careful handling.
  2. Noticeable wear of the line due to its intense friction against the sides of the spool during casts.
  3. Significant cost of some models.

It should be noted that in recent years the quality and functionality of these coils has increased markedly, especially in the expensive segment.

Shape of multipliers

On the shore, with the help of a bait, a mechanical brake is set up. Attach the bait to the leash, position it parallel to the ground and lower it, when touched, the spool should make one turn or less - in this case the brake is set properly.

If the speed is too high or vice versa, the spool makes less than half a turn, you need to either loosen or tighten the brake until you get the desired result.

There are some nuances in setting up magnetic, centrifugal brakes.

First of all, you need to fasten the cord to the spool:

  • tie the cord to the nearest holes on the spool (do not pass the fishing line into the holes far from the spool);
  • tie the knot tightly to the spool - it is necessary to wind the fishing line around the spool several times, we wind the end of the cord or fishing line into the resulting loop.

Now consider how to wind the cord on the multiplier reel:

  1. Having fixed the multiplier on the rod, pass the cord or fishing line through the rings.
  2. Tighten the brakes and clutch.
  3. Using your fingers or a cloth (to help prevent skin damage), keep the cord taut.
  4. Accompany the tension with force to tightly stack the turns to each other.

When using the line, the breaking is wound - this will allow you to avoid unpleasant moments with playing trophy fish. If you do not apply the breaking, the line will turn.

You should also pay attention to the material of the line-layer - to use the cord, there must be a ceramic insert, if it is not there, using the cord will be stupid, the cord will make cuts in the metal line-layer.

The multiplier reel for spinning is conditionally divided into “soap dishes”, “barrels” and especially powerful ones - for sea fishing. Such specific product names were obtained due to the appearance of their body, one of which has the shape of a cylinder and received the appropriate name - “barrel”.

The second type of MK has a slightly flattened shape and is vaguely similar in shape to a “soap dish”. Of course, the appearance of the coils is not their main difference.

This is a multiplier reel for ordinary spinning, which, nevertheless, has received wide recognition and application among fishermen. And this happened due to its ease of use and high reliability. These are powerful multiplier spinning reels with relatively impressive dimensions. Ideal for using thick lines and using heavy and large lures.

Such a fishing multiplier reel can be used in fishing without damage to its mechanism, provided that heavy jig heads or large jerks, wobblers are used. Despite the modernization, the product retained one of the main advantages of the inertial "predecessor" - the simplicity of design, and, accordingly, reliability.

This option is more suitable for anglers who prefer to use baits from the “light” series for long distance casting. The basis for the manufacture of parts of the mechanism is a light metal alloy.

This in turn makes it light in weight and easy to cast. The fishing line or cord is bent in the product at a very small angle, which in turn makes it easy to pit it during the cast.

Although the "soap" is a multiplier reel for light baits, however, on an occasional basis, larger baits can also be used in fishing. Perhaps this is due to the margin of safety and reliability that are laid in it during manufacture.

Also, fishermen know that there is a multiplier reel right or left. Moreover, the multiplier coil for the left hand will not differ from the right-hand counterpart in anything, except for the location of the handle.

All features and functionality will be the same. Moreover, in this matter it does not matter at all whether you are left-handed or right-handed.

Which multiplier you get, you will easily get used to it.

Another feature that some “mults” have is a line meter. With its help, catching fish on a wobbler is greatly simplified, since it becomes possible to better control the immersion of the bait to the desired depth. The multiplier reel with a counter makes it easy to find out the distance to the bait and guide it to the desired catchable depth.

Casting with a multiplier reel differs from the usual one with an inertial reel, sharp casts with short strokes cannot be performed, you need to smoothly accelerate and apply more force. To begin with, it is better to cast from the side, it will be more difficult to cast overhead.

Fishing from a boat with saltwater multiplier trolling reels is very productive. In sea fishing, heavy lures and wobblers are used. On marine multipliers for trolling, a counter is installed to measure the reeled line - this is done in order to accurately set the bait to the depth.

With a diameter of 0.4 mm, it was previously considered the thinnest, but for inertialess it is the thickest, unless, of course, the angler is going to catch such a large fish as taimen.

You can read more about spinning coils in the article. .

The most popular line diameter for effective casting with a spinning reel is 0.25-0.3 mm.

A line 100 meters long, correctly wound on a bobbin, should not reach the top edge by 3 millimeters, but not deeper. This is a prerequisite. Lines wound flush with the edges, when cast, can be thrown randomly and get tangled, or dragged under the bobbin and wound around the axis.

Before you go out to the reservoir, you need to learn how to cast, i.e. learn the technique of casting spinning with a reel. I recommend starting casting with a one-handed rod with any type of medium-sized oscillating line attached to the end, but without an anchor. The spinner is safer than the sinker and is more visible in flight. The weight of the spinner is 10-15 grams.

For an inertialess reel, as a rule, a vertical throw is used, which can be done while sitting in a boat without the risk of falling into the water, and sitting on the shore when camouflage is required. Training allows you to make long-range casting in a sitting position.

Preparing to cast, the angler takes the rod in his right hand so that the reel leg is between the ring and middle fingers. Turning the handle of the reel with your left hand, pulls the lure to the top of the rod by 10-15 centimeters. He presses the fishing line with his thumb to the handle of the rod. Takes away the stacker. Raises the rod to a vertical position and lowers it to the right shoulder. The left hand holds the butt of the rod. The top of the rod falls behind the back. The left hand with the lower end of the handle is extended forward (Fig. 1), This will be the starting position of the throw (starting position).

Casting a spinner with an inertialess reel, in contrast to an inertial one, is instantaneous and short. This is achieved by a short and sharp jerk of the top of the rod forward. Performing it, the angler with a sharp movement pushes the right hand with the rod and reel forward, and the left hand towards him, back.

This technique allows you to make a short swing, but a strong enough swing with the tip of the rod. When the top reaches a certain point, from where the free flight of the spinner should begin, the angler leaves the line (Fig. 2). This is the final moment of the throw. The spinner, moving away, removes the forest from the reel. The angler at this time should keep the top of the rod in the direction of the outgoing line, thereby reducing its friction in the tulip (Fig. 3).

Consider carefully Figure 3. From the point where the angler stopped the top of the rod, the further flight of the spinner is free. A certain angle is formed between the body of the angler and the rod. Capturing this moment is very important. If the line is released earlier, the lure will fly up, later it will fall at the feet. It becomes obvious that the starting position can be arbitrary, depending on the desire of the athlete to make a short or wide swing (see Fig. 1, indicated by a dotted line). The finishing moment is constant when the rod makes an angle of 25-30 degrees with the vertical.

Over time, as a result of training, the cast is usually done mechanically, instinctively capturing the final moment of the throw.

One of the important questions in the technique of long-distance casting of spinning is the question of how best to clamp the line.

The recommended method of clamping with the index finger, in my opinion, cannot be considered convenient, and here's why.

Since the throw is instantaneous, during this instant the index finger is not able to fully straighten. Scaffolding with great resistance slides along the first phalanx of the index finger and jerks off it. This results in a slight shift in direction and a decrease in the range of the spinner, which, in turn, makes it difficult to master the aiming of the throws.

Wanting to avoid this, the angler begins to unbend his finger before the tip of the rod reaches the final point. The trajectory of the spinner in this case turns out to be more convex and the throw distance is reduced. With the same swing force and the same weight of the spinner, the spinner will fall further along a flatter trajectory.

If the line is pulled to the handle of the rod and pressed with the thumb of the right hand, then at the moment of release of the line, the slightest weakening of the thumb allows it to instantly slip out from under it. In this case, the direction of flight of the spinner is not violated. In this case, complete synchronization is achieved in the action of the top of the rod with the thumb clamping the line. In practice, this method is easier to master and gives the highest performance in sniper lure throwing.

At the moment the spinner falls into the water, by turning the handle, the line stacker is turned on. This stops the line coming off the spool. You can slow down the flight of the spinner during casting by pressing your index finger against the side of the bobbin. When winding the line, the handle is rotated with the left hand.

The free spinning reel changes the conventional idea of ​​rigging. The presence of two spools allows you to quickly change the forest. A lighter sinker is required, spinners are small.

Anyone who uses an inertialess reel should abandon the usual equipment. The fact is that with an inertialess reel, the likelihood of an anchor overlapping behind the line increases, especially if you turn on the line stacker until the spinner falls into the water. Therefore, the best option for equipment should be recognized as the connection of the sinker directly with the spinner. This allows you to achieve the greatest range and accuracy of casting and minimizes the possibility of overlapping the anchor behind the forest.
