Long gone are the days when fishermen armed themselves with light fishing rods with a complete set in the form of a typical fishing line, float, hook and sinker. Modern manufacturers of fishing equipment offer a completely different level of approach to the technical organization of the process. In the market you can find high-strength spinning rods, braided fishing line, reliable reels and hooks of various shapes. All this allows you to create effective tools to ensure the fishing process. But before that, you should decide what kind of equipment will be. Types of equipment are quite diverse, and some of them require not only the presence of required functional components, but also the ability to properly implement them in the overall design.
Basic float equipment
Float fishing is available to almost everyone who wants to go fishing. From it comes the simplest equipment, which includes the fishing rod, fishing line, float, lead pellets as a sinker and leash. Of course, this fishing rod rigging can vary in the parameters of individual components, but, as a rule, the composition itself remains the same. Another thing is that there are configurations of a different type, including bottom structures. They are subject to slightly different requirements, and the composition of the elements usually looks simpler.
The fishing rod is selected from models with a length of at least 4 m. This is a standard minimum length, although there are also short versions intended for short castings near the shore. Fishing line is calculated by thickness and length. The first parameter is most important, since it allows you to determine the possibilities for fishing fish of specific sizes. In most cases, beginners use a size range from 0.1 to 0.2 mm. Any object of oblong shape that is visible on the surface of the water surface can be used as a float. The same applies to sinkers in the form of lead fractions - the main thing is to calculate the force of gravity. Also complete with bait and bait. For example, silicone pike lures are used as part of spinning rods. There are reusable models, but there are baits designed for one cast.
Zig rig accessories
To some extent, this configuration is interspersed with bottom techniques, but it should be considered as a continuation of the float structure (by the nature of the purpose). A typical “zig-rig” is used for carp fishing, which distinguishes this method from the general family of bottom rigs. The traditional device for implementing this method involves the inclusion in the system of a moving sinker and float with an anti-twist, which will allow the use of a small bait even at a distance of a meter from the bottom. A long leash made of fluorocarbon, 20-25 mm in size, is also used. This is another feature of the technique. If an ordinary donka gives ample opportunities to use massive fishing troughs, then the zig rig focuses on the modest size of the active substance. And this despite the fact that the hunt is for large carp. As for lures, you can use floating balls from a plant or animal base, as well as their synthetic substitutes.
Types of bottom rigging
Now it’s worth a closer look at the classic bottom structures. The main feature of this system is to enable fishing from the bottom. The bait is an animal, vegetable nozzle or live bait. The basic version includes a fishing rod with reel, fishing line, sinker and several hooks fixed by leashes. Depending on the fishing rod, the possibilities offered by the fisherman may vary. Types of equipment with a fishing rod with a length of about 0.8-1.5 m are reliable and resilient. Accordingly, they can be used to catch strong and problematic fish in the game. This option is also called “deaf”. The rod is made up of the upper knee of a classic fishing rod, juniper rod or a piece of duralumin tube 1-1.5 mm thick. The fishing line can have a thickness of 0.3-0.6 mm and a length of 60-70 m. The leashes should be thin so that they are smaller than the main fishing line - they are about 25 cm long.
Using self-loading equipment
An alternative to the classic bottom tackle can be a design that includes a self-immersing float in the system. Its feature is that the fisherman can control the bite process through the antenna. The main metal weight is located at the float, facilitating casting technique. In turn, the hook is weighted with two pellets, which are located slightly higher on the same fishing line. Such a fishing rod rigging provides that if the bait sinks to the very bottom using sinkers, the fisherman will learn about the bite, which may not even have time to take a vertical position. The antenna will show a bite and provided that the bait lies at the bottom. In any case, the main control element of such a snap is the length of the sinker from the hook. By varying it, you can get one or another location of the bait in different layers of water.
Types of jig snap
Jig is one of the most common variations of spinning equipment, which in itself acted as a platform for other types of fishing structures. The main purpose of this system is to catch predatory fish. Moreover, fishing is carried out in problematic bottom layers with the expectation of a weight of 20 kg. Actually, the name "jig" comes from the nature of the behavior of the bait. For example, the same silicone pike bait can create an attractive effect consisting in quick movements. The equipment provides for the front shipment of the bait, which already in the water provides a kind of game - sinks to the bottom under the weight of the load.
As for the varieties, they differ in the form of cargo, hooks and the same lures. For example, the Texas snap-in involves the use of a bullet-shaped sinker, and the hook is taken from an offset set and resembles a worm in appearance. The Carolina system, which is characterized by a more free play of the bait, is also popular. In other snap-ins of this type, twisters and vibro-tails can be used, which attract attention with various movements underwater, and in some cases with aromatic effects.
How to form a snap?
First of all, the general principle is determined by which fishing will be carried out. Traditional float equipment requires special attention to the power load on the rod, as this species focuses on the survival of large fish. According to other criteria, bottom equipment is formed. Types of fishing equipment in this way are more oriented to the configuration of the working part on the fishing line. That is, the number of leashes, the depth of immersion, the placement of bait and other aspects are determined.
Snap installation
First, a reel is fixed to the rod, and if the snap does not provide for it, then the fishing line is attached. In the case of using a classic mast fishing rod with a reel, the line is skipped over the rings - you need to start from the neighbor. This is followed by a wire fishing line in a cambric float and shipment of lead pellets. If fishing troughs are used, the general cargo support system should be reviewed. If this supplement is not available, then the zone at the float is also provided with lead shot. In this capacity, a small sinker usually acts, which can also be placed in front of the leash. At the final stage, a hook is attached - the equipment is ready.
Conclusion
A few manipulations with different components of fishing equipment are enough to develop elementary skills in the installation of the structure. As practice shows, it is much more important to determine the operational parameters that the equipment has. Types of equipment differ not only in the set of components included in the composition, but also in the characteristics of each of them. In particular, spinning rods place high demands on the mechanics of the action of the rod and the properties of attracting bait. On the other hand, for the bottom rigging, the configuration of the relative position of the leashes, bait, hook, and also the float is more important.
