Currently, anyone can buy a fishing rod, it will be completely ready for fishing in any reservoir. Is it really so? Can the same equipment be universal for medium-sized lakes, and for rivers with a pronounced flow? Any angler, even with minimal experience, will easily refute such a possibility. Then another question arises: "How to assemble a fishing rod for fishing in different types of water bodies and for different fish?" And really: how? Only personal experience, constant experiments and small recommendations will help here.
How to assemble a fishing rod?
The simplest and at the same time the most popular tackle is an ordinary
float rod. It is perfect for ponds, lakes, small rivers, streams and backwaters. With its help, you can catch fish both from the shore and from a boat. Let's figure out how to properly assemble a fishing rod, so that the fish pecked and clung to the hook. Firstly, the rod itself. It is of different lengths and different in weight. For rivers and backwaters, where the depth starts a little further from the coast, it is better to take the rod longer, and if fishing occurs over a cliff, then it will fit and shorter. As for the weight, it all depends on the convenience and comfort of the fisherman and on the dimensions of the proposed trophy. Previously,
inertial coils were installed on float rods
. Currently, they still reserve a leading position. But slowly they are replaced by
inertialess coils. They are more convenient and practical, moreover, they break less often.
How to assemble a fishing rod? Fishing line, bobber and hooks
Next, you have to decide on the fishing line. It’s not worth experimenting here. Braiding and other options for spinning on the float are not needed. The trick of how to properly assemble a fishing rod is the simplicity of the equipment. An ordinary line is wound on a reel of fishing line, but it will be necessary to select a diameter in accordance with the weight of the fish that the angler is going to fish. So, for small species (ruffs, bleaches, roaches, tops), 0.1-0.15 mm will fit perfectly. Well, for larger trophies (perch, roach, crucian carp, tench) fishing line with a diameter of 0.18-0.2 mm is put on the fishing line. Thicker to take tackle is not worth it. A small sinker is attached to the end of the line. Now about the float. It is selected depending on the severity of the current in the pond. The stronger it is, the thicker the float. You will have to experiment with color and shape, as these characteristics are individual for each reservoir. If there is a pike in the place where the fishing takes place, then you will need leashes. The hook is again set according to the size of the fish. But in order to have fewer gatherings, the tip should be slightly tilted to the side. So the fish will hook itself.
How to collect a bottom fishing rod?
The bottom fishing rod, unlike the floats, was created in order to catch not under the very shore, but at a distance from it, where deeper. The difference in these gears is that there is no float in the bottom. The signaling device informs about the bite. As a rule, this is a bell or bells hung on the tip of a rod. Also in the
bottom gear there is a heavy sinker. There are a large number of snap options, each of which is designed for a specific fish. Often, instead of a sinker, feeders are used.
