Fishing is a wonderful pastime that combines excitement, pleasure, outdoor recreation at any time of the year. Each fisherman has his own secrets, developments and observations, on the basis of which he tries to improve the efficiency of the process. Among the many bait mormyshka occupies a special place . This is a bait equipped with a weight hook, designed to catch fish of various breeds. In order for fishing to be crowned with an excellent catch, you need to know how to tie mormyshki.
What is mormyshka
This type of fishing is available at any time of the year. However, when choosing a bait, you should pay attention to weather conditions, time of day, place of fishing, fish species that are found in the reservoirs chosen for fishing. Mormyshki is made from a wide variety of materials, they are presented in all kinds of colors.
For each type of fish there is a certain form of bait, the most common of them are in the form of:
- drops;
- a ball;
- rhombus;
- a triangle;
- maggots;
- flies.
Of the materials for manufacturing, lead, tin, tungsten, and steel are most popular. Mormyshka can include up to three hooks, but this does not always indicate the effectiveness of the catch. An important role is played by how the mormyshka is attached to a fishing rod to attract fish. An incorrect mounting unit may result in loss of bait or discard of already caught fish.
Knots for fastening bait
Among the wide selection of mormyshka presented in specialized retail outlets, one can find baits made of both metal and soft materials. Bait made of silicone, rubber, soft plastic by its design are divided into models with and without a special fastening eye. Depending on the modification of the product, the technology for attaching mormyshka also varies.
There are several main types of nodes, having understood the technology of which, you can easily understand how to properly attach the mormyshka to winter or summer tackle. Each fisherman selects a specific site, repeatedly tested in practice.
Mormyshka without ear
Fastening bait is a crucial moment that requires attention and compliance with technological rules. A crooked, improperly tied knot will not only not attract fish, but also scare it away. Before attaching a mormyshka without an eye, you should prepare a fishing line, scissors and the bait itself. Mounting technology is as follows:
- from the side of the hook it is necessary to thread the edge of the fishing line and stretch it a bit along the forearm;
- in the place of the bend of the hook make a small loop;
- with the same edge make 4-6 revolutions around the forend in the opposite direction;
- the fishing line must be threaded into a loop;
- the knot is wetted and tightened to the base.
It is important to remember that the bait should be tied very tightly to avoid losing it when fishing.
Mormyshka with an ear
The peculiarity of this type of bait is that it serves not only as a hook, but also as a weight. For leashes, use a high-quality, durable fishing line. Before tying a mormyshka with a special eye, you need to learn the rule of placing it on tackle. When attaching the bait, you need to maintain the exact angle that determines the balance of the jigsaw. The vertical, horizontal arrangement of the bait on gear or at an angle of 45, 90, 180 degrees is allowed.
To attach the bait, it is necessary to thread the edge of the fishing line into a special ring, making a loop and leaving the tail of the fishing line 20-30 cm.The obtained loop is pulled along the forearm of the hook, several turns are made in the form of a short winding with the free end of the fishing line. The remaining edge is passed into a loop, tighten the knot on both sides. The fishing line can be pre-wetted, this will ensure reliable adhesion of the material. Excess fishing line is cut with scissors.
Mount two mormyshek
Many believe that after tying 2 mormysh or more, the amount of catch will increase significantly. However, this opinion is controversial, since additional equipment with a second or third hook often scares away fish. In addition, the functionality of one bait may be reduced in the presence of a second mormyshka. She often confuses gear, clings to all kinds of obstacles.
Despite the controversial issue, many fishermen successfully practice equipping fishing rods with two mormyshki at the same time. Before you attach mormyshki to winter tackle, you should decide which one will be higher or lower. For proper fastening, the lower bait should be a bit heavier. It is attached by any of the above methods. Additional mormyshka is located on a separate fishing line and attached to the main gear at a distance of 30-40 cm.
Varieties of double equipment
In reservoirs with different depths, experienced fishermen advise using tandem fishing tackle equipment. There are two main techniques for attaching a bait to a fishing line. Following the basic rules, the lower, heavier bait is fixed tightly in the traditional way. Two stoppers are installed on the fishing line, a second, light mormyshka is launched between them in free sliding. There is a distance of at least 40 cm between baits.
The location of the bait in the second way implies a dull fixation of both mormyshek on the fishing line. Before you attach the mormyshka to the fishing line on a winter tackle, it is fixed on a separate leash, and then attached to the base, maintaining a distance between baits of 25-30 cm.The catch efficiency with this technique is significantly increased, since a double irritant acts.
Fishing line for mormyshka
The quality of equipment depends not only on how to tie the mormyshka, the right choice of fishing line plays an important role. For ice fishing it is better to use transparent materials of small diameter. In winter, the water becomes cleaner, allowing the fish to notice the fishing line at a great distance. It is undesirable in the cold season to equip the bait with a large sinker, this reduces the effectiveness of the game, making the bait unnatural.
In order for fishing to be as catchy as possible, it is necessary to choose a fishing line of high strength with low "memory". Too stiff material after blooming retains the characteristic rings that affect the functionality of the mormyshka. If you want to tie two mormyshki, as a rule, use fishing line with a diameter of 0.12 mm.
Right technology
Mormyshki of various modifications can be attached to any tackle, using all kinds of knots suitable for fastening baubles, hooks. It is important to observe the necessary technological features that apply directly to a particular type of bait. Of the simplest and most effective techniques, some are particularly popular.
You can easily tie mormyshki both in the summer heat and in severe frost by passing the fishing line through a special hole in the bait. The end is tied with a knot after a preliminary winding of the forend. To make a double sliding knot, it is necessary to fold the line threaded into the ear into two in the form of a loop. The resulting turn is circled several times by the free edge, the loop is hooked and tightened tightly.
Fishing Subtleties
The use of tungsten mormyshka is a success among fishing lovers. However, attaching it to gear is different from conventional methods. Most of these baits do not have a special mounting ring. Replace it with a thin braided cord, which is bent in half and with a loop through the hole of the bait. Leaving a small improvised ring, the edges of the cord are fixed around the forearm of the hook.
Not all beginner fishermen know how to tie mormyshki from soft materials. Regular knots can damage it, making it unsuitable for fishing. The correct technology is as follows:
- fishing line is passed through the body of the bait;
- a small knot is formed on the edge;
- the main fishing line is wrapped in several turns with a knot edge;
- the resulting loop is pounced on the hook and tightened.
This eyelet becomes the base fastener. Using it, equip a fishing rod. The remaining ends of the braided lace can be fluffed - this technique will improve the mormyshka with an original addition.
It is important to pay special attention to the selection of colors for the bait. In the cold season, it is better to use bright, acidic shades that allow fish to notice mormyshka from afar. In spring and summer, they use more calm, natural colors that are in harmony with the natural food of aquatic inhabitants. Adhering to simple and effective tips, you can effectively equip a fishing rod for any type of fishing.
