The disadvantage of the inertial coil. The fishing line is wound by rotating the drum on the axis, and unwound in the reverse order. When casting, the fishing line from the drum is reeled off by the thrown equipment, it spins the drum, which continues to spin by inertia, even when the bait is delivered to the target. This is the main disadvantage. If the reel is not slowed down, then the fishing line itself will leave the drum, since the latter will spin by inertia. This leads to tangling of the fishing line and the appearance of beards.

The advantage of a spinning reel. The spool can rotate in any direction, but only when casting the equipment comes off the fixed spool. This is achieved through a more complex design and a different principle of operation. The axis of the spool is parallel to the axis of the spinning blank. The plane along which the line is wound on the spool is perpendicular to the axis of the rod.

Winding occurs due to rotation around the spool special roller logging operator. It is driven via a cone gear from the reel handle. The spool itself can rotate freely in both directions, as it is located on the rod. But when the reel is working, it rotates only in one direction, when the line is pulled under force, when the line is stationary.

Inertialess coils have a number of advantages over other types:

• high casting distance;
• no reset of loops, the formation of beards (with proper winding);
• high gear ratio, allowing you to wind the line on the spool at a faster speed;
• availability of spare spools, their quick change;
• handle change for right or left hand;
• adjustable brake (friction);
• uniform winding of fishing line on the spool;
• smooth running;

Flaws:

• if the winding is incorrect, there is a high probability of resetting the loops;
• complex design, requires constant maintenance, cleaning of the mechanism, lubrication of bearings;
• there is a limit on tractive effort, the friction brake does not have an unlimited pressure force;

What to look for when choosing a coil

The choice is always difficult. Each manufacturer has many lines with different dimensions. Not only a beginner, but also an experienced spinning player will not be able to immediately understand a wide range of reels and their characteristics in order to make the right decision about buying the right model.

Number of bearings

One of the main characteristics of the reel that people pay attention to. Of the quantity can reach up to 13 pieces. They serve for the smoothness and softness of the operation of all components and mechanisms of the coil. Some little-known manufacturers mislead buyers by indicating a large number of bearings, which in reality may be half as many.

Instead of bearings, there are plastic bushings, which have a lower resource and reliability. For reliable, soft operation, 4-6 bearings in the design are enough. All others - do not carry additional useful properties, but significantly increase the cost of the finished product. Bearings must be periodically cleaned and lubricated to prevent premature wear and failure.

It is recommended to choose a reel that has a metal bearing in the line roller. This element is subjected to constant loads, pollution. If the roller does not function, then the fishing line or braided line will be subjected to high friction, and the line will soon cut the groove in the roller with ease.

The ratio between the diameter of the fishing line and its quantity

The capacity is indicated on each spool, that is, how many meters of fishing line of a certain diameter the spool can hold. It is necessary to select a reel for the diameter of the line used so that at least 100 - 150 meters can fit. There is no general classification of coils by dimension. But most anglers are accustomed to being equal to the system from Shimano, where reels are classified according to the dimensions of 1000, 2000, 2500, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000.

Having similar dimensions of coils from other manufacturers, the capacity of their spools may not match the capacity of Szyman's. The designations 0.3/150 indicate that 150 meters with a diameter of 0.3 mm can be wound on a spool.

Friction brake

Inertialess coils can have two types of friction brake: front and rear. It is necessary to prevent the rotation of the spool when winding under load, as well as to bleed the fishing line during strong jerks of the fish. This eliminates the breakage of the fishing line if its breaking load is much less than the effort during the fight.

The front friction brake is located on the spool, the rear one is at the end of the reel. For spinning fishing, the front drag is considered preferable. It is simpler, more convenient, has greater smoothness and tuning accuracy.

Reels with a rear drag are used for feeder or carp fishing, when it is impossible to adjust the drag immediately and exactly to the expected size of the fish. The fisherman with this type of fishing does not hold the rod directly in his hands until the bite. When catching large cyprinids, they use reels with a rear friction clutch and a baitrunner, which resets all friction settings at the first sharp jerk of the fish in order to avoid snapping.

Long distance casting system

Casting distance is an important component for a spinner. The farther you can cast the bait, the more area you can catch. There are several ways to increase the casting distance of a reel. Some manufacturers use a special spool shape, tapered, when the spool increases towards the base of the reel. The far turns of the fishing line have a larger winding diameter than at the edge of the spool. This allows them to come off without additional friction on the spool collar. These spools are commonly used for carp fishing.

The correct winding of the fishing line on the spool can increase the casting distance, when the turns intersect, and do not fit next to each other, drowning the honey in neighboring turns. Such a stacking system is achieved with an endless screw (worm gear). However, it is worth noting that the Daiva company refused to use an endless screw even in top models. But this did not prevent it from achieving perfectly correct winding.

Casting distance can be increased by using reels with larger spools and shallower casting depths. This allows the line to go more freely without additional friction on the spool shoulder with the lower turns.

Spare spool

A nice bonus that not every manufacturer gives for a particular model. A spare spool is necessary when fishing requires changing equipment to a more sensitive one or, conversely, with a higher breaking load. This is much more budget-friendly than buying a completely new extra spinning rod and reel set.

Traction force

An important component that few people pay attention to. Denoted in kilograms. This is the maximum effort that the reel can handle when playing fish without the help of a rod, that is, it can work like a winch. For fishing with heavy, stubborn lures or big fish It is recommended to use coils with a pulling force of at least 5 kg. Otherwise, the coil can simply be “killed” by frequent idle casts in just a few seasons.

Gear ratio

For spinning fishing, it does not matter much, since it is not the speed of winding the line on the reel that is important, but the correct game of the bait. This indicator is important when fishing for a match, feeder, carp rod, where the speed of rewinding and a new cast is very important to save time.

Spool material

They can be made both from light alloys and from plastic, graphite. Plastic spools are used only if monofilament line is used. A braided cord will cut through it. Light alloy spools are preferred for spinning fishing. To protect the spool from wear, its shoulder must be coated with titanium nitrite.

Coil weight

This parameter, as a rule, is already turned by experienced spinningists, or if necessary. Less weight will reduce the strain on your hands. It is more pleasant to fish with light tackle, you don’t feel tired after a hard day of fishing. Less weight gives the spinning tackle more balance.

Reels with open, closed and semi-closed spools

Reels with an open spool are the most common on the market. The spool with fishing line is not closed. They are comfortable and easy to use, have less weight. They allow you to cast the lightest baits, the line comes off the spool in turns through the collar. The winding of the fishing line on the spool is carried out through the roller after the shackle of the line stacker closes. The open spool allows you to cast equipment over long distances. The disadvantage of reels with an open spool is the possibility of tangling the fishing line when leaving the spool and the formation of loops, beards.

Coils with a closed spool have a protective cap. This avoids confusion. There is no need to open and close the line handle bar. However, these reels have a shorter casting distance than open spool reels. Closed spool reels require saddle shaped spinning rods.

Semi-closed spool reels have a design in which the line is wound onto the spool by means of a winding cup with a wavy edge. This is a kind of simplified and lightweight version of a closed coil.

How to choose a reel for spinning

When choosing a particular coil, it is necessary to determine the tasks that it should solve. It is necessary to take into account its compliance with the rod in terms of dimension, weight. If ultralight tackle, then the reel should be chosen with the smallest weight with a dimension of 1000. 2000 can already be a lot, all the more you should not put a 4000 reel on ultralight. As, however, and vice versa, on a powerful spinning rod for catching trophy pike 1000, the reel will be “small” .

It would be correct to collect tackle in the store (spinning reel). The tackle should, as they say, "lie in the hand." The ideal balance of the tackle is achieved when the center of gravity is at the point where the hand rests.

It is necessary to twist the coil to detect backlash. The coil should run smoothly.

Choice of line for the reel

The choice of line depends on species composition fish that you plan to catch, as well as the type of bait. If you plan to fish with oscillating or spinning lures, then you can use a monofilament line with a diameter of 0.16 to 0.25 mm. For fishing with jerky baits, spaced rigs, it is recommended to use a braided line.

Installing a spinning reel

Installation does not present any difficulty. The reel seat has a groove for the reel foot and a clamping screw nut. Clamping nut can be combined with top handles. It must be tightened tightly so that there are no backlashes.

How to cast a spinning rod with a spinning reel

For casting, you need to wind the snap to the tip of the tip. The coil bail must be in the up position. Clamping the fishing line to the spinning with your index finger, open the reel seat down. Spinning can be cast from behind the back with both a smooth swing and a sharp movement behind the back in the direction of the casting point.

At the moment when the blank passes in the direction of casting, we release the fishing line clamped with a finger, which allows the bait to start flying. After the bait sinks into the water, close the shackle of the line stacker. It is recommended to close the shackle by hand, and not by turning the handle, as this will extend the life of the coil.

When choosing the first coil, you should not purchase expensive models. The coil must be checked for smooth running and operation of all nodes, the absence of backlash. Do not chase the number of bearings, 4-6 bearings are enough. It would be more correct to choose a reel with a large traction force so that there is a margin of safety, since not everyone, when biting, pulls trophy specimens with a rod, but pulls the fish like a winch.

It is better to choose a coil from manufacturers with a well-known name than to purchase unknown Chinese brands. Pay attention to the work of the line laying roller. It should be a bearing, not a bushing. It is better to choose a coil with a front clutch.

Multiplier is one of 3 types of fishing reels. It is correct to call such coils multiplier coils. They work on the principle of an inertial reel, however, they have a gear ratio and an effective braking system to prevent tangling of the fishing line and releasing "beards".

Multipliers are divided into two groups:

• For casting languid lures(traditional multipliers like "barrel" for baits 15-80 g).
• Trolling reels(in particular, marine reels) have a counter for measuring the wound line. This is required to deepen the wobblers to the desired depth. You lower the wobbler to a predetermined depth, look at the counter, and in many subsequent postings use the lowering of the fishing line specifically to the value acquired during the first posting.

Trolling reels are more expensive than traditional multiplier reels if you need a counter, you have a regular multiplier reel - you just need to leave marks with a hydro-resistant black marker on your fluorescent fishing line. In this way, every time you can easily send the bait to the required distance from the boat and, accordingly, to the depth you are interested in.

What is needed, we will analyze in detail what remains to be done for our client, the nuances of choosing multiplier coils.

Choose reels with an iron body and drag, this will increase the life and reliability of your purchase. In most cases, duralumin alloys act as the metal. But plastic reels are a more economical option and it is necessary to prepare for the fact that such a multiplier will be smaller than the one made of aluminum.

These two types of brakes allow you to slow down the torsion of the drum from the moment of frisky spin-up at the moment of casting. If not for the brakes, the drum of the multiplier reel would spin faster than the fishing line comes off it - we would have got a beard, tangling the fishing line.

Spinning for beginners, collect spinning tie a leash

Magnetic braking built on braking a very rapidly rotating spool from childhood using small magnets. And this type of braking and centrifugal have to be adjusted manually depending on the duration of the project, what weight of bait you use.

centrifugal braking is controlled by another type of coils - small weights protrude from the center, which of course move from the center of the coil to the edges. At one time, a very frisky rotation of the coil by centrifugal force - they come out and begin to rub a special partition, beyond the set of such a factor, braking occurs at excess speed at the initial casting step.

mechanical brake- this is a manual type of brake (all reels have it), which should be used already at the end of the bait, when it touches the water. By applying a mechanical brake, the baitcasting reel responds to weak line release from the spool and brakes the reel in a more effective way for long casts.

The lack of a multiplier coil in such that when fishing with a bait of the 1st weight (for example, a jig head of 15 g), we need to set some options for centrifugal weights, in other words, magnets and set up a mechanical brake. Alas, when we put the bait in 25 g - the previous number of centrifugal weights will no longer be controlled with primary braking, we will have to put additional weights into operation and prepare for the casting distance to suffer.

If you are a beginner, start fishing with centrifugal or magnetic brakes very set, and only when you see that the brakes are very significant - turn off one pair of weights. This will prevent the appearance of a beard when casting. Successful casting with a multiplier reel comes with experience.

How to wind a fishing line on a spool

Left-handed multiplier reels are suitable for spinning anglers who are already accustomed to the spinning reel. Casting any spinning rod occurs with the right hand and in order not to lose control over the process.

And in the beginning, the multipliers were produced only with right-handed inertial coils, which, after casting, are moved to the left hand, and the handle is rotated with the right hand.

Any reel has a small threshold for the length of the fishing line, its small and largest diameter.

If we can get acquainted with using a narrower line than indicated on the reel, there is a possibility that it will go into a small gap between the spool and the body. In particular, care must be taken with braided fishing line (it is usually much thinner than monofilament).

The largest diameter of the line is also important and is also indicated on the reel. Above the value that is written on the coil, it is not recommended to use it. This is all due to the problems of braking fishing line of very large diameters, braking is ineffective and injures the reel.

The presence of a line stacker is the main advantage of reel slots. It allows you to lay the line on the area of ​​the entire spool moderately, without creating humps and depressions, this favorably affects the durability of the line, the reel design itself and the casting distance.

Alas, there is one thing, however, the very presence of a line stacker reduces the casting distance by approximately 10-15%. This is all due to the very huge friction at the time when the fishing line came off the spool through the line laying machine. Some anglers even remove the line layer and, at the time of winding, lay the line by guiding it with their finger (performing the same movements that the line layer does), but the casting range is again at its best.

However, it is wiser to use a multiplier reel with a switchable line lay. It is turned off before casting by pressing a small switch. It is cut in the same way immediately after casting, when it is necessary to wind the fishing line.

And one more piece of advice. Choose spools with a clay eye (hole) in the line packer. Passing through it, the basket is not completely damaged, if the peephole is in the form of iron wires, the basket will cut through holes after a while. With the use of monofilament, there is no difference in the type of eye.

If you are familiar with inertialess reels, then when casting, you need to open the bail of the line stacker, cast by releasing the line with your finger. If you accidentally hit the shackle and with all this the reel works to close the spool, the spool will block, the line will not reel in and you can either lose the bait (line break) or get hit on the forehead with the same bait.

The multiplier reels also have a system for locking and unlocking the spool. Unlocking is done by pressing the switch, and unlocking is turned on by rotating the coil handle.

The number of ball bearings and the quality of the metal from which they are made play a big role in the durability of the reel and the smoothness of its movement. Because the reel drum is very small, and the gear ratio sometimes reaches 6 to 1, the spool speed becomes very high. To adequately withstand the load, the coil must have very strong ball bearings.

Do not use foreign lubricants, oils, only special for multiplier reels.

When you have purchased a multiplier reel and tested it in real life, the casting distance will be the same. Fish it for a few fishing trips, and better than all season and you can see how the casting distance will become noticeably higher (right up to 15-20%). This is justified by rolling and reducing the friction of the multiplier coil mechanism.

But this rule is more effective for economical multipliers, as it is also called middle-class reels. High-quality premium multiplier reels do not require break-in and work properly from the first fishing.

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

Spinning transportation rules

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.

The process of winding fishing line on a spool

The winding of the fishing line on the reel is carried out as follows:

1. Put the reel on the spinning rod and pass the end of the fishing line through all the rings, starting with the smallest one, gradually reaching the reel itself.
2. Fold the bail of the line stacker (in this state of the reel, the fishing line can easily both enter the reel and unwind from it.
3. There is a special fastening on the spool for the end of the fishing line (a stopper, usually in the form of a triangle), fix the fishing line (or make a regular knot by wrapping the reel drum, but the first option is preferable.
4. After that, you can fold the shackle of the line stacker back to starting position and start winding the line onto the spool by turning the spool handle.

It is necessary to wind almost to the edge of the spool, leaving 1-1.5 millimeters. This will allow you to easily drop the line during the cast and at the same time will not allow the line to fly off the spool on its own creating unnecessary loops and knots.

How to use a spinning reel

Before casting - press the line with your finger and tip the line handle

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.
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, fold the line handle 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 for the bait to fall 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 stroke, so as not to inadvertently hook your mates. fishing, for example, in a boat, where there is not much room to swing.

Use a swivel

A swivel (anti-twist) is a miniature device that will allow your fishing line not to twist from the rotation of spinners, spinners, devons, oscillating lures and other spinning lures.

Also, the swivel often has a convenient fastener, thanks to which you can easily change the bait without unnecessary line breaks and another tying.

Use a leash to guard against pike teeth

A leash for fishing on spinning often plays the role of a stronger section of fishing line at the lure attachment. It is designed to prevent the possibility of biting the fishing line with the sharp teeth of a predator.

The leash should be made of durable material, stronger than the main line and at the same time it is desirable that it be less noticeable in the water.

In the case of catching asp and other predators that are not able to boast of sharp teeth, you can not use a leash, especially if your main line is not very noticeable in the water. But when catching toothy pike, pike perch and other hunters - it is extremely important to use a leash, otherwise sooner or later you will be left without bait and fish.

Rigid leashes can spoil the game of light lures (for fishing with a wobbler, popper and other light baits, it is advisable to use special elastic leashes).

Spinning is one of the simplest gear at first glance. It's really easy to set it up. But the level of your resourcefulness while fishing will depend on your skills. The correct wiring of baits and the correct choice of them greatly increase the chances of catching freshwater predators.

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 houses 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 fishing reels rightfully considered the most common and easiest to operate, but they, like almost every mechanical design, have their own strengths and weak sides. Their strengths include the following:

1. Versatility. At correct selection such a reel can be effectively caught on both the lightest and rather heavy baits.
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. Of particular importance at first initial stage you need to give the technique of the correct casting of baits. The remaining elements of working with it (wiring technique, hooking, fish withdrawal) are learned later.

Expert opinion

Knipovich Nikolai Mikhailovich

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 casting at the initial stage flies from the bottom up, which allows experienced anglers, if necessary, 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.

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 fish, both near the shore and at long distances, both from the shore and from the boat.

The easiest way to catch a predatory fish is to arm yourself with a spinning rod and go to the reservoir where this fish is found. If you have at least some experience with spinning, then this is not a problem. If the spinning is picked up for the first time, then the first thing you need to master is the casting technique. Spinning is a tackle that has its own characteristics, depending on which reel is installed on the rod. Basically, they resort to installing an inertialess coil, which is easy to operate and has acceptable functionality. Whichever reel is installed, you still need to master the casting technique. In addition, you will have to train for accuracy and casting distance, since the effectiveness of all fishing depends on this.

This article is intended for those spinning players who have picked up spinning for the first time in their lives and are thinking about how to use it correctly and effectively. Any theoretical knowledge must be supported by practical skills. Theory and practice is the force that allows you to always have a positive result. Having mastered the basics that are voiced in theory, it is easy to master the practice of using spinning tackle.

First you need to understand how spinning is cast in general and how it can be cast, depending on the fishing conditions. After all, fishing conditions can be different, depending on the reservoir. It can be a body of water with clean shores or a body of water where it is difficult to approach clean water due to thickets. In addition, thickets are also possible in the water, which requires very accurate casting. Based on real conditions, it is possible to use the following options for casting spinning:

• Vertical.
• Horizontal.
• Pendulum.
• Catapult.

And now, in more detail about the technique of each cast.

Vertical casting

It is used almost always, if nothing interferes with the shore. It's very easy to learn and effective method casting, allowing you to deliver the bait exactly to the appointed place.

Vertical casting over the head is the main casting option for spinning lures. To carry it out, it is necessary to find a point on the surface of the water where the bait is supposed to be delivered. With the help of a reel, the line is reeled up so that the bait is 20 cm from the tip of the rod. After that, the line laying arc opens and the fishing line is pressed with the index finger to the rod blank.

The rod is thrown behind the back, after which, with a sharp forward movement, the bait seems to be shot in the right direction. In this case, the tip of the rod should look in the same direction, and the line with the rod should be in a straight line. At this moment, the finger releases the line, and the bait flies freely to where it is intended. During the flight, the fishing line is unwound from the reel drum. When the bait has splashed down, the line-laying bail is returned to its original position and they are waiting for the bait to take its position in the water column. After that, wiring can be done.

This casting option is used in a specific case when vertical casting is not possible, for a number of reasons. The first reason is related to the presence of vegetation located overhead in the area of ​​vertical casting. The second reason is related to the fact that at the point or its limits where the bait can splash down, there is also overhanging vegetation. Despite the fact that it will not be possible to deliver the bait far enough by side casting, with its help it is really possible to deliver the bait to the exactly specified place.

This casting technique is very effective on small rivers, where long-range casting is completely useless, but accurate casting is just the way. In this case, the bait flies above the surface of the water and hits exactly the place that is located under the branches of trees hanging over the water.

The only disadvantage of this throwing technique is the need for long workouts. From the first time it will not be possible to accurately and correctly cast the bait. If you perfectly master this technique, then you can safely consider yourself a master of spinning fishing.

How is the horizontal casting technique performed?

The casting technique is the same, only the spinning is not retracted behind the back, as in the first case (with a vertical cast), but to the side, either to the left or to the right. As in the first case, first you need to decide on the direction of casting and the point of delivery of the bait. Casting accuracy depends on the moment when the line is released from the clamp. In the process of horizontal casting, a clear reaction is required for the timely release of the fishing line, which is possible only after long training sessions.

Pendulum and catapult casts are used very rarely due to the complexity of their implementation and difficult conditions fishing. This can happen if there are significant thickets on the shore, and the place is very promising. But before that, you should think about how you can subsequently pull the bait out of the water, and even more so with the trophy.

How to make a pendulum cast

The bait must be pulled up to the tip of the rod, lower the bail of the line handle and intercept the line with your finger. After that, the bait, as it were, swings and with a sharp movement from under itself is directed to the desired point. The main thing is not to forget in time, remove your finger from the fishing line.

Such a technique will not allow you to cast the bait far, but this is not required, since the main task is to send the bait exactly to the designated place, although not far from the coast.

How to make a catapult cast

This type of casting is somewhat more difficult, but it is just as unpredictable as the previous one. To do this, you need to lower the bait just below half the length of the rod and take it by the hook. Moreover, take it so that in the process of casting it does not catch on to it, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous. The fishing line is stretched, as a result of which the tip of the rod is bent. The moment the bait is released, it will fly in the right direction, although not far. This casting option is suitable for any hard-to-reach places, although casting accuracy is a big question. In any case, you need to be prepared for the fact that the bait will remain in the pond, as if with or without fish.

The difficulty of casting lies in the fact that you need to pull the bait with one hand, pulling on the line, and with the other hand, hold the rod and fix the line. Without certain skills, such casts are quite difficult to perform.

How to make a long throw with a spinning rod

If the reservoir is large, then long-distance casts will definitely be needed, although this requires preparation. It is necessary not only to master the technique of long-range casting, but also to be able to choose the right tackle. In addition, you must always remember that the heavier the bait, the farther you can cast it. Long-range casting can be prevented either by a headwind or a strong side wind, which does not allow you to throw the bait in the place where you need it. In this regard, it is necessary to dwell in more detail on the factors that can significantly affect long-range casting.

Rod length

It has a direct effect on the amount of long-range casting. The longer the rod, the farther the lure will fly. If you want to cast the bait far, then it is better to opt for forms that are at least 3 meters long.

Coil size

The size of the reel also determines how far the rig can be cast. The larger the spool, the more line will fit on the reel. If the length of the fishing line is sufficient, then the bait can be cast far from the shore without any problems. Moreover, they take into account the fact that the bait is weighty, and it is necessary to wind a fishing line that is not at all thin on the reel.

Correct line winding

The line should leave the spool without much resistance. That's the only way it will fly far. Moreover, it is very important that it is the initial moment of casting that does not have any resistance. This is achieved by proper winding. The fishing line is wound on the spool so that there is a space of a couple of millimeters. If fishing is carried out using a large reel, then monofilament fishing line is first wound on it, and then braided. In this case, the cord will hold the main load, and the monofilament line will simply serve as an element for filling the reel.

Access rings

The most important thing is to set the throughput rings correctly and on the same line. If the rings do not stand exactly, one relative to the other, then a friction force will act, which will not allow you to throw the tackle far. In addition, the rings must be checked for quality: they must be smooth, without burrs.

The most important thing is the execution, on which the flight range of the bait will depend. For this to happen, you need a powerful, sharp throw, without stopping at the back point. The rod is retracted behind the back and at the same moment, as soon as it takes the starting position, the bait is sent to a given point with a sharp forward movement. In this case, the energy of a curved rod is used: the sharper the throw is, the more energy the rod can store and the further the bait will fly.

The long-range casting technique also involves working with the body to give the bait a powerful initial impulse. Before the start of the throw, when the rod is retracted behind the back, at the same moment it is necessary to turn the body in the right direction. At the moment of the throw itself, along with the movement of the rod forward, the body is simultaneously turned to the starting point with its feed forward.

In addition to working with the body, the legs should be included in the work: in the process of throwing, it is necessary to move the foot forward. A similar approach in the execution of the throw will allow you to send the bait to the maximum distance from the coast.

When the finger has released the fishing line and the bait has flown, you should check that the rod and the fishing line are on the same line. In this position, the fishing line will practically not experience friction in the throughput rings.

It is very important to be able to feel your tackle. It depends on this both accuracy and casting distance.

How to make an accurate spinning cast

The technique of accurate casting requires hard practice. Moreover, the casts must be purposeful, for the accuracy of the delivery of the bait. Training is best done daily, and not necessarily on the pond. Accurate casting is a technique of masters who are able to deliver the bait to any point where there is a clear water area that is not overgrown with algae.

This technique is feasible only if vertical casting is used. It is this technique that allows you to deliver baits with amazing accuracy. This technique has already been mentioned in this article, so it makes no sense to repeat. The main thing is that everything is chosen correctly, including tackle with bait. A light weight lure, such as an ultralight lure, will not fly far, and an ultralight rod will also be required. Plus, you need a thin fishing line with a light, not big size coil.

The technique of long casting still requires more powerful and tough gear, along with the “ensuing consequences”, ranging from a heavy bait to a powerful reel with strong fishing line.

When making long-range and accurate casts, it should be remembered that the farther the distance, the more difficult it is to send the bait to a given point. As practice shows, everyday training does not pass without a trace and it is absolutely realistic to master the technique of long-range and accurate casting.

The main mistakes when casting spinning

Casting errors are quite common. This is especially true for beginners who are just starting to practice. spinning fishing fish. In this regard, it makes sense to analyze some common errors. This is necessary in order to know why the bait does not fly far or why it is not possible to make an accurate cast. At first glance, casting spinning gear is a very simple operation that is available to everyone. But this is only at first glance. In fact, everything is somewhat more complicated if you want fishing to be effective. So, the most common errors are:

1. Line stacker closed. This is a common mistake even for experienced spinners, especially in dynamic fishing conditions when fast casts are required. Such a mistake is fraught with consequences: usually the bait flies away, breaking the line.
2. Incorrect return of line bail. As soon as the bait has reached the target, the shackle must be returned to its original position by hand. When the reel starts spinning, it closes automatically. Unfortunately, this leads to rapid wear of the coil, which is undesirable.
3. Lack of rod position control during casting. Some beginners, when casting, return the rod to vertical position. Unfortunately, both the casting distance and its accuracy suffer from this. In the process of casting, the rod must be directed to the casting point until the bait reaches the target.
4. The attachment point of the bait clings to the winding ring. When catching predatory fish, especially pike, a metal leash is used, which is attached with a clasp (carbine). Often this happens when the bait is reeled in such a way that the attachment point clings to the first (at the tip) winding ring. This mistake also will not remain without consequences: premature wear of the ring or breakage of the bait is possible. In this regard, it is desirable to always control the process of winding up the line before casting.
5. The moment of releasing the line. It is very important that the line is released in a timely manner. The accuracy of casting depends on this, as well as the amount of fishing line that is unwound from the reel. If the line is released prematurely, the bait will fly in a large arc, after which more line will be reeled in, which can cause a serious hook. In addition, the stretched line is more difficult for the layman to lay. In this case, it is possible to overlap the fishing line directly on the reel.
6. The spinning is held incorrectly in the hands. Many inexperienced anglers make this mistake, which contributes to many difficulties in the process of catching fish. Here, the main thing is to correctly control the process of fixing the fishing line. Therefore, the spool foot must be between the middle and ring fingers. Thumb, in this case, is intended for fixing the fishing line and releasing it during the casting process. The thumb should always be on the rod, so that at any moment you can slow down the process of the bait's flight.
7. Wrong casting technique. If everything is done correctly, then the bait can always be cast far and accurately. Unfortunately, many novice spinningists are not too responsible for this process. When setting the rod behind their back, they make an unnecessary pause. In addition, they run the spinning too far, or tilt it too low. The casting technique looks something like this (repetition is the mother of learning): at an angle of 45 degrees, the spinning is directed to a certain point, after which it is retracted at the same angle of 45 degrees and, without making any pauses, the bait is immediately biting forward goes on a flight. This process involves both the arms and the torso, as well as the legs. This is the only way to cast the bait far and accurately. If all movements are done correctly, then no extra effort will be needed.
