About catching perch on a balancer and spinner
Using mormyshka, wobbler and spinner, Scandinavian fishermen invented a special tool for catching predatory fish. The new product is called "balancer".
Unlike other baits, in which the front part became the place of attachment of the fishing line, the back is used in the balancer for this purpose. As a result, the design of the Scandinavian nozzle has much in common with pharmacy scales. The best time to apply this bait is in winter. The most effective will be catching perch on the balancer on the first ice. You can use this bait at a depth of 3 to 8 m. For beginners who decide to go fishing for perch in the winter with a balancer and spinners, experienced fishermen recommend using special feeding.
For its preparation, bloodworms, bran and cake are suitable. Feeding is laid in a special feeder, which is then lowered to the bottom of the reservoir. About what time of day it is best to fish, there are no recommendations. Judging by numerous reviews, perch can equally actively peck both in the early morning and evening. The main thing is to have good weather. The size of the hole should not be too large. Its optimum diameter is 6-7 cm. Experienced fishermen recommend using a 40 mm rotating or sheer spinner. Despite the fact that the perch is a water predator and rushes to smaller fish, it is quite smart. This should be taken into account by the novice during the bargain. If the movements of the “fish” turn out to be too sweeping and unnatural, the perch on the bait will not bite.
How to use?
To start, the lure must be attached to the fishing line. Then the bait sinks to the bottom of the reservoir and slowly rises back. Perch, interested in playing the baubles, begins to chase after it. It is advisable that, reaching the upper layer of water, the bait goes up faster. If the first wiring was inconclusive, you must repeat these steps. This time the lure does not need to be removed immediately from the bottom. It is enough to raise it by 500 mm. After that, the bait sinks to the bottom again.
To play the baubles, the fisherman needs to perform oscillatory movements with the rod. This technique is suitable at the beginning and at the end of winter, when the fish is quite active and does not hibernate. Do not forget that perch is a school of fish. If one individual is interested in lure, then the probability is high that the bait will attract the others. There are frequent cases when the perch swirls around the nozzle for a long time, but does not peck. The chances of catch will increase significantly if you use a bloodworm.
