Fishing rules are human, not paper. Probably, many inhabitants of our planet believe that in order to catch a fish, it is enough to take a fishing rod, put a bait in the form of a worm or bread on the hook, throw it into the water and, when biting, pull the fish out of the water. As if everything is correctly written here. The only thing you still need is the ability to catch, ability and, of course, luck. After all, even to plant a worm, and here you need skill, you need to preserve its natural appearance. And the angler's eyesight must be good in order to follow the barely noticeable bites. Yes, and each fish has different bites and you need to know them in order to hook in right moment. Yes, and the bait itself on a certain reservoir should be different. Let's talk a little about general rules catching fish.

As Aksakov wrote, the main thing is to properly set up the fishing rod, which should be smooth, light, the end should be flexible, the fishing line should lie flat, otherwise if it twists, the float will also spin, the hook will rise up and if at this moment there is a bite, then, most likely you will fail. The knot that you tie the leash to the fishing line, as well as to the hook, should be small. The leash must be from inside hook, which must be sharp. Use a fresh bait, skillfully plant it.

For fishing, choose the right weather and time. Especially good fishing It is considered early in the morning, since at night the fish are more hungry and peck boldly and willingly, and the water is still not so clear. In the evening, it is also believed that the fish bite better in relation to daytime fishing. If you have chosen a hot time in the summer for fishing, then it is better to fish in the morning, feed the place so that fish go to bait from the first dawn. The bite at this time is not very long, as the sun warms up, as the morning coolness passes, the bite subsides. In autumn, spring, in cool, rainy weather, you can fish all day.

Carefully observe the water bodies, draw your own conclusions in order to know in what place, in what weather it is better to catch this or that fish. Yes, and choose favorable days, weather, because even the wind can be useful when catching roach and perch.

Fourth.

When fishing, keep silence, try so that the fish do not see you, if you throw the bait further, then you can be less careful. But still, fishing loves silence.

When casting, do not bang the fishing rod on the water, try to immediately put the bait in the right place so as not to pull it up, otherwise you can hook it on the uneven bottom.

When fishing, don't try to just take out the bait to test it, especially if you are catching big fish, as you can scare them. But if a small thing constantly pulls at your bait, then you will have to check and change the nozzle, but do it quietly and carefully.

If space permits, you can fish with several rods, with different bait. In this case, you need to carefully monitor the floats and hook in a timely manner. Although I personally don’t use more than two rods to keep my hand on the rods and hook in time.

Learn the habits of the fish and choose the right time for hooking so that the fish take the bait well. But after all, some fish simply hold the bait in their mouths, not swallowing, but simply swim away. If the fish feels the tip of the hook or its back, it will immediately spit out the bait. Therefore, if the float went to the side with a slight slope, then you need to cut quickly, but not much, and in the opposite direction to the one where the float went.

Do not put the rod on the water, if there is no flyer, then it is better to put it on tall grass. But a fisherman can always make a flyer himself, or use another one left by other anglers.

Try to ensure that the line from the rod to the float should not particularly be immersed in water, so as not to catch on to something.

Eleventh.

Do not pull the fish "impudently", because you can tear the lips of a small fish, and if it is a large fish, then it can break the fishing line. Let the big fish “walk”, let them swim in circles, but do not loosen the line at the same time, patiently wait until it gets tired and only then drag it to the shore and use the landing net.

Twelfth.

If you are a beginner and a large fish has pecked at you, and you don’t know how to make it walk in the depths in a circle, then just put the fishing rod in the water. Do not persist, otherwise you may lose the fish. She will get tired herself, she can swim ashore or hide in the grass, where you can already take it with your hands.

Thirteenth.

When you play big fish, do not take the line by hand, even if it seems to be a convenient option. And do not lift the fish into the air, as the fishing line may not withstand, because due to the density of the water, the fishing line can withstand large fish, and in the air it can break.

Fourteenth.

If the fish is tangled in the grass, then loosen the line so that it can get out on its own, it almost always works, the main thing is to be patient. A float or fishing line will tell you when the fish has gone and take it out to a clean place.

The fifteenth.

Always try to fish at different depths, use different baits. After all, the fish is whimsical and capricious. After all, she can peck at a piece of a worm, but she won’t even look at the whole.

Sixteenth.

Fishermen say that in August and September the fish move higher, and in other months, on the contrary, it is lower. True, when the weather changes, the course of the fish also changes. In hot and sunny weather in July, the fish walks high, comes under a canopy of grasses, especially broad-leaved ones. This can continue in August and September until the onset of cold weather. It is believed that it does not fall from the cold, but from strong winds and rains. Well, the big fish always keep below the small ones. This means that in warm, calm and clear weather we fish everywhere, even aground, this applies more to the evening, and in bad weather, with windy weather, you need to fish off the coast with bushes. In extreme cold, we fish in deep places.

Well, anyway, everyone draws his own conclusions, and I wish you neither a tail nor scales!

Fishing is an exciting activity, but success depends on many factors: a well-chosen place, the right gear, bait, knowledge of all fishing methods, weather conditions, and even the fisherman's equipment. Compliance with all the basic conditions for beginners is extremely important.

Preparing for fishing: action plan

Decide on loot

If the area is familiar, then it is probably not difficult to prepare for fishing, knowing who you will fish for. If you went to a new place and the pond or pond is completely unfamiliar, then for the first time it is better to go to paid places. Fishing rangers will tell you what types of fish live and in what place it is better to bite.

Choose a place to fish

• Many species of fish are looking for prey on the riffles with fast current, in places of change to deep depressions with a fast current.
• Plains and stretches with shallow depths are inhabited by large pikes, perches, pike perches, they like to soak up the rivers in shallow water in warm water.
• Successful fishing in the floodplains of lakes, river quiet oxbow lakes, artificial channels, where the water is clean and transparent. Many species of fish live near thickets, clearings, rods, and river bends.
• The best places for fishing are coastal holes, estuaries with islands and running water.
• On lakes without a current, areas flooded with snags and trees. Fish sometimes hide there in the heat and from predators.
• The undercurrent feeds the fish. Successful fishing on lakes in places with sharp changes in depth. In more major rivers it is worth choosing small streams with enough high speed currents and depth.
• Insect-eating fish live near canopies, steep banks.
• Predatory fish are found in the places of snags, muddy rivers. Vegetation attracts shellfish-eating fish

Prepare gear

According to the fishing law, the main thing is securely packed tackle, laid out and secured in special cases to avoid damage along the way, but access to them must also be free. A quick change of hooks and baits will eventually lead to successful fishing.

Small tackle should be kept in metal, plastic boxes. Gear must be selected taking into account the place of fishing, the type of prey.

When fishing with a regular rod or spinning rod, you need to take several spinners of different sizes, a set of hooks, and a bell with you.

For active fishing - screens, crayfish.

Prepare food in advance

You need to take several types of it for catching different fish. Local fishermen will tell you what the fish are biting at in this particular place. If you don't know the area, then take basic set: croutons, bran, cereal porridge. Keep in mind that it is difficult for fish to absorb plant components of complementary foods, and the particle size must correspond to the size of the intended fish being caught.

If fishing is planned in a reservoir with a silty current, then it is better to mix the lure with clay so that it is not carried away quickly from the right place.

Watch the water temperature, weather conditions affect the activity of the fish. The amount of food needed depends on these conditions. A trifle can pounce on food, ahead of large individuals. If you have small fish, you need to take several times more food with you.

The concentration of complementary foods also depends on the size of the fish being caught. The larger, the larger the complementary foods should be.

Attractive to fish, for example, thyme, milk powder. The value decreases, but the amount of catch increases when sand and earth are added to the lure. With a strong current, it is good to add a little clay. The smell of crushed stones rubbed on food attracts predators.

Take a supply of bait and bait

Delicacy for, crucians and carps– . In summer - live insects, vegetation to simulate artificial bait.

The larvae are attractive for carnivores. A trifle is partial to bait: anise, vanillin and mint. But smart fish do not bite on such a deception.

Breams, perches, ides, dace, titmouse, go for summer, but you need special tackle and skill when fishing.

Baits and lures should be sufficient and better than a variety of

At any time of the year, artificial fly lures are effective, imitating the rapid rotation of an insect.

Bring the necessary fishing equipment with you

If you're fishing at night, don't forget a flashlight. Also, you can not do without matches, a knife, a hatchet, spray from, medicines, water.

Equipment should be as comfortable as possible, a cap and boots will always be needed.

Have unlimited time and great patience

Well, without these qualities you can’t do fishing. Even in the absence of a bite in one place for more than 2-3 hours, you should not immediately leave it. Maybe you should change your rod or bait.

Do not rush to take out the bait often, sudden careless movements only scare away the right fish.

float rod- the most versatile and optimal for carp, perch, pike and zander.

1. The fishing rod should be up to 8 m long, so that the casting of the tackle is up to the middle of the lake, and it is also invisible to the prey.
2. Frequent casts are not required with a long rod. Tackle can be further let go with the flow.
3. The float must be attached in two places, on cambric or rubber bands to control the depth of the water and pull the line.
4. The best fastening for the hook is thin, thinner than the fishing line, so as not to lose it during hooks.
5. It is better to fish from the shore with a three-meter telescopic rod.
6. The rod should fit comfortably in your hand and be strong. Losing prey when it is broken will be annoying.
7. For beginners, it is better to use light rods and tackle.
8. In winter, a small fishing rod and the same float are preferred, but the load must drag it completely under the water to avoid freezing into the ice.

For spinning

On the donkey

The bottom fishing rod is easy to use, consists of a fishing line with a sinker and hooks. But, casts can be made far to catch prey feeding near the bottom.

1. choose a flat place, without snags to avoid line breaks, hook breaks at the time of fish extraction.
2. The length of the donk is standard 1.5-2.5 m.
3. Attach bells to your rod for easier fishing.
4. Stick a metal rod into the butt of the fishing rod so that you can attach it to the shore.
5. Donkey equipment can be different, it all depends on the area, fishing, casting distance.
6. To attract guarded fish, you can build homemade tackle using red reed, steel rod and ordinary fishing line.
7. The sinker must be suitable for the size of the prey.
8. Catch on the bottom better in autumn, but throwing gear in the right place should be correct. Usually casts are carried out manually, upstream.
9. When angling small prey in shallow water, cuttings are suitable for calm, accurate.
10. Feeding is a must. You can build a mesh bag with food and throw it in the planned place. For example, they hide in pits, keep this in mind when casting.
11. Breams require timely feeding. Carp can be fed with steamed peas before fishing.
12. Spot fishing is effective at night on, in places where fish are likely to approach.

How to fish in winter?

1. Feel the ice when you arrive at the lake. In places with landslides, irregularities, channel pits, it will be easier to cut holes, but this is only in the case of a new, previously unused place.
2. To increase the holes, in the arsenal, the fisherman must have a hook, a drill, a pepper.
3. The rod should be small and comfortable with a line thickness of more than 0.2 mm.
4. Pay attention to the lure. Use store-bought flavors, sweeteners, liquid dyes.
5. It is important to observe safety measures when fishing on ice in winter. Ice should be 7-8 cm thick, no less.
6. At the beginning of winter, it is dangerous to go out on the ice in places where reeds and grass grow. In these areas, ice freezing occurs much later.

Common Mistakes

1. Wrong gear. Beginners like to buy nervous resonant rods, expensive spinning rods, not realizing that this is not appropriate in all places. The fish, most of it, loves silence.
2. Universal rods will not fit anywhere. It is not necessary to buy an expensive fishing rod. It is better to buy 2 cheaper: heavy and light.
3. It is believed that when catching zander with a spinning rod, its rigidity and power are needed.. The main thing when catching this fish is the sensitivity of spinning, its quick reaction to the approach of pike perch to the bait.
4. Thick fishing line does not mean reliable. It can be completely insensitive and sluggish bites, for example, pike perch, can be easily missed, there will be no catch.
5. Jigs should be fished with thin line.. Thick will negatively affect the nature of the wiring.
6. Mistakes made by novice fishermen when. It is difficult to master the technique, the casts must be sharp, as the bait quickly flies forward.
7. Difficulties cause wiring beginners. The tip of the rod when fishing on a spinner is fixed incorrectly. The petal malfunctions and bites do not occur. It is better for beginners to use wobblers; you do not need to fix them on the tip of the spinning rod.
8. The amount of complementary foods should be taken into account depending on the weather, season, concentration of fish, its size. A handful of grains or maggots will never be superfluous to throw for the approach of large fish.

   Consider if bait was used at this place before your arrival. Maybe this place is already fairly baited.

9. Do not stay in one place for more than half an hour if the fish don't bite. But, if there were bites, then you should be patient.
10. Don't stand out in the sun or against the sky to avoid shadows on the water. Approach carefully to the shore, there should be no noise from strangers.
11. Do not throw unnecessarily gear.
12. Pull out the fish and dragging it through the air is also not worth it.

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

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

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

Leash. In case of angling predatory fish- pike, pike perch or catfish, which can bite the fishing line, at the end a metal string 25-50 cm long is attached to it, into which spinners or baited hooks are already attached. Given the caution of the fish, in order to reduce the visibility of the main thick fishing line, a leash of a thin fishing line 15-30 cm long and 0.08-0.3 thick, rarely 0.4 mm, is attached to the end of it, to which a hook is tied.

Carabiner with swivel (anti-twist). They are used to connect the main fishing line with a leash on a bottom fishing rod, feeders, vents, tracks, circles, spinning rods with spinners.

Float. Designed to hold a leash with a hook and a bait or nozzle at a certain depth, as well as to fix the moment of a fish bite. There are floats lying and standing, which are made from: goose feather, tree bark, foam, plastic of various sizes and shapes. At night, to detect the bite of fish, a small bell or firefly is still hung at the end of the rods, and on winter fishing rods, most often, they replace the float with sensitive gatehouses of various shapes and materials.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

By size, spinners are divided into large, medium, small; by weight - heavy and light; by color - bright and matte; by movement in the water - into rotating, oscillatory, vertical; in shape - into symmetrical and asymmetric, acting as an irritant or “competitor”, which supposedly catch up with the bait placed in front of the spinner, or the second spinner, in the diet of predatory fish.

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

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

As a rule, spinners are connected to the main tackle through a carabiner and a steel leash. According to the conditions of the reservoir, time, place, current, weather, exactingness of predatory fish, they use one or another spinner. You should also count on their loss from hooks. Spinners are often replaced with “tacks” adapted for mounting a dead fish, which is put on a metal pin and fixed with tee anchors along the surface of the body.

In winter, mainly small baubles are used for sheer glitter. They have one hook connected to the lure, on which there is no beard, but the sting must be long and well honed, in this case a leash is not needed. If the spinners are intended for catching pike or zander, then their size should reach 70 mm, and the sting should be with a beard.

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

Fender. When fishing, a hook or mormyshka often clings to underwater obstacles - flooded branches, trees, snags, aquatic vegetation, stones. To release gear from the hook, use chippers, which are made
from soft metal - lead or babbit in the form of a ring or cylinder of different diameters and weights.

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

An obligatory requirement for the successful release of a hook or baubles from the hook is to bring the boat to the place where the tackle is delayed and the vertical tension of the fishing line, in this case the bump releases the hooks and baubles with its weight quite easily.

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

Bagorik. big catfish and it is better to drag the pike into the boat with the help of a metal gaff made in the form of a hook, in which the distance from the sting to the rod is 60-80 mm, the length of the rod reaches 50-60 cm.

Fish tank. Caught fish trying to keep alive. It is best to use nylon cages-baskets for this. Huge selection of them in fishing stores.

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

Mormyshka. This name comes from the name of a small amphipod (gamarus), which is common in the waters of the Urals and Siberia and is a favorite food for fish. Rising in shocks from the bottom to the surface of the reservoir, it becomes an object of prey for voracious perches, roaches, and elms. In those areas, fishermen collect this crustacean from under the ice and catch fish on it with winter fishing rods.

The absence of such a bait in the central European regions prompted inventive amateurs to make an artificial mormysh (“mormyshka”), and more than a hundred forms of this, so to speak, charm appeared, which is used with or without a bloodworm attachment. It can be considered at the same time as a sinker, a mormyshka, and an irritant. "Jigs" are made from tin, lead, copper, bronze in the form of a ball, a drop, as well as ovoid, oval, lenticular, etc., with a soldered forged hook in a horizontal position. Hooks choose small sizes No. 2.5 - 3.5. Recently, quite large (heavy) "mormyshki" have appeared, which began to resemble spinners. A hole for passing the fishing line is made in the "mormyshka", in a vertical plane relative to the hook. The vein under the "mormyshka" is tied with a flat knot. "Jigs" are divided into large, medium and small.

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

feeders. They are most often used to bait and attract fish. Their design is being improved in the direction of the accuracy of casting the bait directly to the place of fishing. Small feeders are made, mostly cone-shaped, 6-15 cm high and 4-8 cm in diameter, they are metal or synthetic materials (depending on the purpose of their purpose). Usually they use feeders in flowing reservoirs, where the current gradually washes out the food from them, to which the fish is going.

No tail, no scales!

Spinning is called sports tackle for fishing with the use of artificial or natural lures. This word comes from the English “spin” - to rotate. By itself, this tackle is a rod that has access rings and a mount for a reel on which the fishing line is wound.

It is used for catching predatory fish.

The use of this kind of gear, in comparison with the float, requires a very intense and active behavior from the fisherman. The spinner is required to constantly search and test various baits, “catching” several areas (fast, slow, uniform or using jerks).

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

How to choose spinning?

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

By choosing this type fishing tackle you need to strive to ensure that spinning is:

1. Qualitative and was not a fake. You should buy it in a good, trustworthy store. Its price cannot be cheap.
2. Light. If the weight of the product exceeds three hundred grams, it is not very convenient to use it, its characteristics become worse.
3. Comfortable. The rod should fit comfortably in your hand. Right in the store, you should install the coil and see what the weight distribution will be, how convenient the control is. In the same place, you should evaluate how high-quality the rod handle is.
4. Required size. When used on a small river, the length of the rod can be about two meters. Long casts and jigging is best done when the length is more than 2.7 meters. Universal length is considered to be from 2.4 to 2.6 meters.
5. With good sensitivity. The better the sensitivity of the rod, the more comfortable it is to fish.
6. with the required test. It is better to choose a product that has a wider test for the lower weight range, for example, 5-25 grams. In this case, you can experiment with different baits, learn how to properly control them, use tackle when fishing in a variety of situations.
7. With the right order. Many people prefer fast action tackle for beginners. While this limits the weight of the bait and prey, it allows for much more effective control of the bait.

Main selection criteria

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

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

• length;
• material;
• system;
• test and power;
• ring type;
• the specifics of fastening the reel and handle;
• type or type of structure;

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

With distant casts, wiring with a powerful current and considerable depth, the use of a heavy lure is required. It is necessary to match the weight of the nozzle and the rod test.

The test refers to the range of nozzle mass that can be used for a particular model. A test of 7 - 30 grams would mean that the smallest weight of the bait felt in the event of a cast would be 7 grams.

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

Usually the classification of rods is as follows:

1. heavy class, with a bait weight of fifteen to sixty grams.
2. Middle class, from seven to thirty.
3. Light class, from three to fifteen.
4. Ultra light, from one to seven grams.

The power index of the product is affected by its thickness at the bottom, and the test is influenced by the thickness at the tip. Significant power and light test can only be balanced with a long rod length.

Spinning power determines the amount of fishing line used. Too strong fishing line can lead to breakage of the rod in the event of a sharp hook or hook.

Under the system is understood the characteristic of spinning, which affects the short-term reaction with increasing load.

Fast action makes spinning more sensitive. Recently, the plug rod is gradually replacing the telescopic rod, overtaking it in all respects.

There are rods according to the system:

• slow;
• average;
• fast;
• ultra-fast;

It is determined by the bend of the rod under load. Slow action allows the rod to flex equally across its entire length in the form of a parabola. With a fast system, only the upper section is bent.

The action is influenced by the geometry of the whip and the stiffness of the materials used. Fast action provides large values ​​of taper and wall thickness, as well as increased material stiffness.

The benefits of slow building include:

1. Improved cushioning when playing prey.
2. Decreased sharpness when casting, which helps the live bait survive.
3. Improved casting distance.

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

O-rings can be ceramic, silicon carbide and aluminum oxide. Silicon carbide rings are the most reliable.

For the spinning handle, microporous rubber or natural cork is used. The latter is less polluted and more comfortable.

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

Choice:

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

When, where and what kind of fish are caught?

About when fishing with spinning is allowed, you should take an interest in the resolutions of the territorial and central authority of Rybnadzor. Different regions may have different kinds of bans.

Catching certain types fish may have their own characteristics.

Pike

1. Pike has won the greatest popularity among spinningists. You can catch it in the lake, on the pond, in the river. She keeps in quiet pools with snags, in thickets of reeds, where you can hide.
2. To catch it, use a pop-up wobbler. Usually stepwise wiring is used.
3. Next to the snags, a spinner is better suited. You can attach a twister to it by running the nozzle along the border of the thickets.

Zander

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

Perch

1. A sign of the location of a perch is flocks of small fish that begin to jump out of the water and scatter on different sides.
2. The perch responds well to white or yellow baubles, with which they combine a yellow, red or black twister.
3. In places where the current is weak, you can fish using one twister. Jerks in the wiring process are very effective.

Chub

1. Chub can be found in areas with a fast current, where there is a lot of oxygen. Often this predator preys on fry at the confluence of fast and slow currents.
2. As a nozzle, a spinner is used. Spend it evenly or make small jerks. You can use twisters or steamers.
3. Great importance is attached to the color of the nozzle. During May it should be brown or brown with black spots.

How to catch on spinning?

To spinning fishing was effective, you should skillfully throw tackle, choose a promising place, correctly do the wiring and choose the appropriate nozzle.

Catching and casting technique:

1. For, the fishing line must be wound in such a way that the nozzle drops no more than a meter from the end of the rod.
2. Next, the reel bracket opens, the fishing line is pressed with the help of the index finger so that it does not unravel.
3. The rod is retracted, and then the cast is sharply and at the same time smoothly.
4. As soon as the rod is at an angle of forty-five degrees to the water surface, the fishing line is released from under the finger.
5. When the nozzle reaches the bottom of the reservoir, they begin to twist the coil, sometimes pulling the tip of the rod.
6. The nozzle should sink to the bottom, and then rise above it again. It must move like a small fish to force a predator to attack it.
7. In one place, you need to throw spinning up to five times in different directions, and then move on to another.
8. In the absence of bites, the nozzle should be changed.

How to fish for spinning from the shore:

1. For fishing from the shore, spinning of a light class is used, durable and lightweight, with a high throughput of the rings.
2. Good step-by-step wiring on a powerful river with a distance of seventy meters from the coastline is possible with a tougher tackle (test 30 grams).
3. Required to apply spinning reel with ease of movement and durability.
4. Commonly used braided fishing line, which, without stretching, well resists the flow. It makes it easier to lower the nozzle and make cutting.
5. The leash is used only metal.

1. Try to constantly change the nature of the game of the bait with step wiring, this will achieve a better result.
2. Often, a sharp cut is absolutely not needed, it only leads to a rush of the fish lip. Try not to hook at all. Pike and so well hooked on the tee.
3. Many beginners over tighten the clutch on the reel. Experience shows that it is better to underdo it than to overdo it.
4. The mistake of beginners is that, having made a hook, they immediately rush to rotate the coil. First you should feel: how the prey will behave, and then, without fussing, act.
5. Get more advice from experienced anglers, study fishing forums and good luck will certainly come to you.

Anyone can catch a fish if they want. But it is easy to do this only with the help of special devices - fishing rods, spinning rods, etc. And how to catch fish without a fishing rod is a separate conversation, because such fishing can be more interesting and exciting. Those who have ever tried to do this with a sharpened spear or an ordinary harpoon know all the delights and pleasant nuances of fishing such fishing.

How to catch fish with your hands

How can you catch a fish without a rod?, namely hands, is theoretically known to many. This is the oldest method and it is sometimes very effective. In addition, it is very fun and interesting:

1. Find a suitable shallow body of water with a depth of no more than 30-40 cm.
2. Go into it and stir up the water well (in such an environment it will be much more difficult for the fish to see something).
3. Until the turbidity settles to the bottom, and the water becomes clear, quickly start catching fish with your hands.

The object of fishing is very slippery, it will be difficult to catch and hold it in your hands, so you will have to squeeze the fish quite tightly.

You can successfully engage in this type of fishing in all water bodies, especially in those where crucian carp live, which loves to burrow into the silt and sit there as long as there is even the slightest threat to its safety. This is the time to catch him. It is enough just to walk your palms on the silt and literally take the crucian with bare hands. In the villages, in this way, local fishermen can catch more than a bag of carp in a few hours, and some individuals will be quite large.

Pit on the shore of the pond

How does the local population of many Asian countries catch fish, if not their favorite way of digging holes connected to the shore of a reservoir. The process of catching fish without a fishing rod in this way is very simple and consists of three points:

Harpoon and sharp arrows

Even in ancient prehistoric times, spears and arrows were the main equipment for obtaining food. Today, not knowing how to catch fish without gear in other ways, the ancient ones are quite suitable.

The harpoon is used mainly by underwater hunters. Equipment for such a hobby should be on highest level, because swimming under water for several hours is not only tiring, but also dangerous, especially in autumn or winter. Firstly, you need a special sealed and very warm suit for spearfishing. Such clothing should not let the cold through, must be light, strong, tightly fit the entire body of the fisherman, have high quality materials. Secondly, these are special high-quality and elongated fins for fast swimming. Thirdly, you need a diving tube or scuba gear, with which the hunter can stay under water for a long time in search of prey.

The harpoon itself is a special speargun. There are a lot of types of harpoons today, and their prices vary from hundreds of US dollars to several thousand conventional units. The main thing that should be in a harpoon is the presence of a reliable trigger mechanism made of high-quality metal and a solid handle that can withstand heavy loads and various kinds of blows. Arrows for harpoon must be chosen the sharpest and most well-sharpened so that they can easily cope with the task: pierce the body of a large fish.

Those who have been involved in underwater fishing say that this is one of the most interesting and exciting ways to fish. The only disadvantage of such fishing is the high cost of equipment. In addition, you should be more careful, because spearfishing is much more dangerous than fishing with a bait.

What can you fish with other than a fishing rod? plastic bottle. The method of such fishing was invented relatively recently, but it has already become popular among children, for whom this is not only a method to catch a fish, but also great option have fun and laugh. The instruction is very simple:

After about 1-2 hours you can jerk the bottle ashore. Be sure to do this quickly so that the fish that swam to feast on the bait do not have time to swim out of the bottle. As a rule, this method of fishing does not bring a huge catch, but patience is enough to catch 2-3 pieces. If you are very lucky, you can pull a dozen gobies or small crucians ashore.

Butterfly net

In childhood, everyone caught beautiful butterflies with a small net. But they can also catch not only insects, but also fish, ranging from a small bleak to a kilogram pike. To begin with, the usual average net is taken, selected suitable body of water(a narrow ditch works well). AT rubber boots so as not to injure your legs, walk along the groove with smooth, neat steps.

Usually pike, crucian carp, roach, loach, small bream and even catfish hide near bushes or under snags. They are very clearly visible. Once the target has been spotted, gently lower the net into the water and smoothly bring it to prey. At 20-30 cm from the fish, grab it very sharply and quickly with a net and lift it vertically into the air.

Catching on an impromptu donk

One of the oldest and most effective ways is donk fishing. This is not about professional gear, but about a simple fishing line with a diameter of 0.4-0.5 mm, a hook and the first metal nut that comes across. By tying a weight - a nut and a hook of any size to the end of the fishing line, you can go in search of prey by taking bait (bread, any bait of animal origin, you can use ordinary meat).

You should not count on huge catches, but you can catch a sea goby, horse mackerel or an ordinary perch quite enough. In this manner children love to play on the sea where minnows and gobies peck even on an empty hook sparkling in the water. Usually, after catching the first trophy, fishermen cut it into small pieces and string the pieces on a hook. After that, the bite increases several times and you can return home almost with a bucket of fish.

Sea fishing with a spear

This method is quite ancient and was used by our ancestors thousands of years ago. A sharply sharpened flat small stone or an iron point tied to a narrow light stick, and a little strength in the hands - all that is needed for successful fishing on the seashore or small bays at high tide.

Catching fish in a lake or river in this way is more difficult, even almost impossible, because the water there is muddy and dirty, the fish are hard to see. But hunting for marine life in the clear sea or ocean can be very successful.

Of course, you need a lot of skill and a huge supply of patience, because sometimes you have to wait a very long time: until the fish becomes bolder and swims up. But then you can lunge with a spear and get a long-awaited trophy. Sometimes people use a sharp spear to catch sea fish weighing more than 10 kg.

The use of non-traditional fishing methods is very interesting and exciting. Emotions from such fishing cannot be expressed in words, and the adrenaline and impressions received will be remembered for a lifetime.
