A little about Jiggs ...

Perhaps it is difficult to imagine a modern spinning without such areas as - catch predatory fish on lures silicone. Interest in silicon baits can be attributed to several factors: first, a successful predator fishing year round (which are the same baits we can not guarantee), and secondly, the minimum cost of bait (when compared with the cost of branded spinners, the difference will be noticeable) and thirdly, the fishing lure on the silicone does not require special skills and beginners with almost minimal set of gear, you can start successfully catching cherished perch, but perch. Well, the fact that silicone bait can entice any fish that live in our waters - is not unusual to catch carp, bream, etc.

The best time of year to catch trophy fish can be considered as the autumn. In the autumn (in principle, as in the spring before spawning), a predator can be caught throughout the day. In winter, the unfrozen waters fishing can be just as successful and enjoyable. By the way, the only joy for spinning in the winter. In the summer, at sunset or early morning when the predator enters the shallows for fish larvae, there is a chance to go home empty-handed.

How to choose a rod? There is a wealth of information about how to be a rod designed for fishing with lures silicone, basically all it boils down to one thing - the sensitivity. Rod for jig must necessarily be fast or super fast action (FAST or EXTRA-FAST) for fishing from a boat is preferable to spinning up 2.10 - 2.40m. (7 "and 8"). For coastal fishing suitable length from 2.70 - 3.00m. (Respectively, 9 "and 10") select test depending on the baits. As a test range, spinning rods can be divided into the following groups:

UL - Ultralight (ultralight 0 - 7gr)
L - Light (light from 7 - 15 g)
M - Medium (average of 10 - 30g)
H - Heavy (Heavy can reach up to 60 - 80g)

For a beginner is better to start with 2.40m. well as long-spinning may have problems with reflux, the struggle with the fish (directly on the beach), which ultimately can lead to loss of desire to catch at all. Pay special attention to the rings - they must be qualitative (FUJI, SIC) to be used as the braided cord. The main thing is not in a hurry, and believe me, with the first catching walleye long addicted to these kind of catching the predator.

How to choose the coil? Basically, what - what the specific coil is not worth taking. Here are some tips: First, try to pick up the weight of the coil under the weight of the selected spinning. Second, the coil must have a high ratio - ie the ability to quickly exhaust line. B - Third, a well-laid the line (because fishing involves the use of braided lines, the laying of a good pinch just required to avoid the "beards" and other troubles.) Do not be lazy in the store to check the coil on the ride and the absence of unwanted noise. It also does not hurt having a second spool (the presence of two different diameter and breaking load, cords may be necessary). Pay attention to the well-oiled clutch. If you choose the coil on the classification of DAIWA, it will be a universal size - 2500. The most popular sizes are the following:

1000 - 1500 Light, UltraLight.
2000 - 3000 Universal, medium-sized coil.
And from 4000 - the powerful carp reels.

Line. The main objective when fishing bait on the silicone - is a direct and continuous contact with the bait. Therefore, catching on silicon suggest using braided fishing line only - cord. The main quality braided cord - is it a zero stretch, then none of the usual woods we can not give. Second - large explosive load of small diameter cord (when fishing in deep water flow and indispensable quality). At this point in fishing shops have a huge variety of cables. When choosing pay attention to the section - it should be round (not so much lint and increase casting distance, that when fishing from shore is very important). Try to take a braided cord of bright colors - it improves the control of the lure. Performed well multicolored cords (each 10 meters in different colors). Since pike and perch fish schooling, with a biting can roughly determine the distance at which it was made.

Goods for silicon lures. The most common are two types of goods - a jig-head and the so-called "Cheburashka" or eared sinker. Jig-head - is mostly spherical weight with a hook soldered to it. Eared sinker - a spherical sinker with two deployed in different directions ears. Mounting the head fitted with a hook through the bait silicone. By eared sinker lure equipped with dual or offset hook is attached by winding the ring. (Pivot assembly). Advantages of this installation is that the lure becomes greater mobility, a sluggish predator is provoked to attack. For sites with lots of hooks used "Texas rig". The cargo in the form of bullets attached to the bait on the hook offset. Ways to ogruzki silicon lures many, but for beginners (not to be confused), these three would be enough to start. In the future you do decide which one suits you best.

Bait. The first rule in choosing lures can be only one - do not just buy bags of silicone all the favorite. In addition to confusion, any good you have it will not. Huge number of colors. It is my deep conviction color lures is 20% success rate. The most important thing - it's supply of bait, and the size of her game. The color can highlight the following: the clear water - engine oil, purple, brown and shades of dark green, blue, brown. In troubled waters - bright colors: green, white, carrot (perch) yellow (pike, perch, catfish) can give a good result two-color (black back, tail light) Again, if you catch a green ripper today is not the fact that he will catch tomorrow - try, experiment, and all you need work. Silicone bait can be divided into two main types - Rippers (vibrohvosty) and Twister. Catch equally well both of them. To get started, take a few dozen of both, would be enough. There are also a variety of silicone worms, octopus, crabs and edible gum. In winter, try to use a medium-sized rubber - 2-3 inches (5-7.5cm). As water is cold, the fish sluggish and inactive. In the spring, then the same thing - fish with caviar, a languid prefers medium-sized baits. Autumn - time, trophies, and you can put a bigger, but the important thing is not to overdo things should be in moderation. Separately, it must be said about the foam decoys. During the fall of the bait on the bottom, it stays like silicone and comes up as though imitating the feeding fish. This provokes an attack on the predator. Made it very easy (the simplest of sponges for washing dishes) and are worth a penny. Cut it in the form of carrots (special accuracy is not required) Porolonki used as nezatseplyaek.

I would like to say a few words about the quality of silicon. Nice, soft silicone definitely good, but on the river with strong currents, he might not play, or play a little but. On the rivers, I would not pursue the most soft baits (power flow and the average quality of the silicone gets a half-turn). But on standing bodies of water quality silicone is a must. And most importantly - believe in that bait, you have chosen and good luck is sure to be on your side.

Posting. You can start with the classical steps. Throws the bait. Choosing the excess cord. Wait until the bait sink to the bottom (this will tell us the tip of the rod, playing back). Make two or three turns coil, waiting for touching the bottom. Again, preroll, touch the bottom and so on to the shore. Many believe that the pause in the fall of the bait should be 2-3 seconds, but I prefer 3-4 seconds. If you count myself 21 22 23 24, it will be released exactly 4 seconds. In the process you can change the tempo of the wiring, increasing or decreasing the number of coil turns and the speed of rolling. The same step can be done and the rod - no reel podmatyvaya the line, and movement of the rod. During a weak bite useful to lure from the bottom margin to play along with the rod tip. Do not be afraid to experiment - after all who does not come up with the perfect bait wiring. When posting, pay attention to any irregularities of the bottom - well, protrusions, bumps, branches, driftwood, solid bottom edge. Usually these are the places where love be a predator. Do not forget that fishing is a constant search for the predator.


And finally, I would like to ask - think about carefully to the places where you are fishing. Many people often blame the locals, "Clubswinger" and all around, but not themselves. Let's be honest, well neither as he can not double (which catches on a simple or cheap donk spinning telescope) to leave a package of expensive hooks, lures, strings and even more bottles of attractants. Let's all try to take their garbage with them, this is not difficult. Given that almost all have personal transportation. And one more small but ..... let's forget about the big words, the fora of global improvement of the ecosystem, and begin each with himself. Release, if possible, the fish are not necessarily all, but 10-30% of your catch is quite real issue. These are a few percent will not give you anything, but make no mistake, at the national level it will be a great contribution.

And maybe in 30 years, came to the shore of your favorite lake, this time with grandchildren, you are firmly convinced that they are not porezhutsya of rusty cans of corn "SENSAS" with the smell of strawberries ..
