In the modern market of fishing products, a large selection of various gears is provided to the attention of the consumer. Fishermen use flywheel, plug and Bologna fishing rods. Each of the three options has its own characteristic features. According to experts, of all the available fishing rods, Bologna is considered the most universal. This gear is produced in Italy in the province of Bologna. Information on the device, equipment and fishing technique of a Bologna fishing rod is contained in the article.
Acquaintance
The Bologna fishing rod is presented in the form of a multi-telescopic device containing rings and a reel seat. Judging by consumer reviews, using this float tackle you can fish peaceful fish in any reservoirs and with the use of a wide variety of equipment and lures. Due to the use of coils in float rods, the fishing distance can be adjusted, and large trophies can be fishing out even on a thin fishing line.
About float gear
Fishermen use three types of rods:
- Flywheels. In such gears there is no reel seat and pass rings. The rod is characterized by a dense mount of forests. Casting range no more than double the length of the fishing rod. To catch large fish, the owner will have to purchase several thin leashes.
- Plug-in. These rods are easy to transport. Judging by consumer reviews, such gear is quite convenient to manipulate. However, with plug-in products, casting distance and wiring length are limited. In order to operate the rod, the fisherman needs to acquire additional devices. This gear is not suitable for casting. It "starts up" in the fishing zone in the form of links imposed end-to-end to each other.
- Bologna. Structurally adapted for the installation of thin lines, which is important when narrowing careful fish. Unlike plug-in gears, the Bologna rings are retractable. The gear is adapted for long casts. Indispensable fishing rod at a distance of 30 m. Works with large weighted floats.
Unlike previous options, the length of Bologna gear is longer. Despite the fact that Bologna fishing rods with rings of larger diameter, their number is less.
About device
Bologna fishing rod consists of:
- Inertial or inertialess coils.
- The main fishing line.
- "Deaf" or sliding float with clamps.
- Kit loaded.
- Leash.
- Hook
On average, the length of a Bologna fishing rod is 6 meters. However, in specialized stores you can find an 8-meter tackle. The Bologna fishing rod can contain up to 8 tribes, each of which is equipped with one access ring. For the last upper step, two additional rings are provided, due to which the line tension is evenly distributed.
About Rod Material
Float rods are made of composite and carbon fiber materials. According to the owners, composite gear is much heavier and tougher, but not as expensive as carbon fiber. Due to its ability to withstand heavy loads, composite fishing rods for fishing on large individuals are indispensable. However, judging by the feedback of experienced fishermen, it is not advisable to take such gear on a small fish, since it will be very inconvenient to carry out frequent castings. Carbon fiber rods are much lighter. They can be operated with lightweight accessories. However, such fishing rods are very fragile and unsuitable for catching large fish. Compared to composite fishing rods, carbon fiber rods are more expensive.
As experts recommend to those who are going to fish in a large and deep body of water with a strong current, it is better to take a long rod with them, which is convenient for making good and accurate castings. In a small pond, experienced fishermen use short fishing rods.
About Coils
According to experts, there are no special recommendations regarding coils. Nevertheless, it is desirable that these devices provide a relatively good laying of thin scaffolds, the survival of weighty specimens, are reliable and easy to operate. It is better to use coils with a minimum weight. Bologna fishing rods can be equipped with small inertialess reels. The advantage of these devices is that, if necessary, their friction mechanism can be configured under the forest of any thickness. In addition, long-distance castings are possible with the "inertialess". Also, a Bologna fishing rod can be equipped with a small inertial wiring coil. Such a device is characterized by simplicity, reliability, smooth running and low cost. "Inertia" is easy to set up for fishing on a thin line.
About bologna fishing floats
According to experts, in this case, you can use the floats used in classic fly fishing rods. Since Bolognese are intended for fishing at long distances, it is better to equip these fishing rods with more weighty products for which bright antennas are provided. Many fishermen use rods with sliding floats and with fixed mounts. The shape of the floats is very different. Fishermen effectively use the following products:
- Drop-shaped. These are universal floats that work equally well in any water body. The body in such fishing products expands downward.
- Spindle-shaped. In these products, the lower part is already upper. The body contains hollow antennas. Designed for a variety of postings.
- Flat. The working surface has a flat disc-shaped. These floats operate in bodies of water with a strong current.
Judging by the reviews, in the lakes, fishermen use oblong-shaped floats. In places with a strong current it is better to fish with rounded floats. During operation, good visibility will be ensured if the float contains a thick and long antenna. For a Bologna fishing rod, floats are suitable, the mass of which varies between 4-20 g. On the shelves there are products for which it is possible to change weight. Such products are marked accordingly. For example, 8 + 4 indicates that the 8-gram float is structurally adapted to add another 4 grams to it.
Fishermen mainly use Bologna floats, which are characterized by a one-point mount. The main part of the fishing line is fixed from the bottom to the keel. This option is considered the most simple and reliable. Such gear is called "wagglery." Floats are used in bodies of water with a strong current. Thanks to excellent aerodynamic properties, they are convenient for long casts.
About fishing line
Judging by numerous reviews, fishermen who practice Bologna fishing mainly use monofil forest. You can also fish on the "nylon". Such a fishing line should have the following characteristics:
- Have minimal memory.
- Withstand high loads.
- Possess good extensibility.
Experts recommend choosing a fishing line, the thickness of which varies from 0.12 to 0.20 mm. You will have to fish with such gear with a thinner leash. Experienced fishermen do not recommend completing a Bologna fishing rod with large diameter forests. Otherwise, the tackle will turn out very rough, as a result of which many bites will go unnoticed.
About leash and hook
Fluorocarbon products with a thickness of 0.12 to 0.14 mm are used as leads for Bologna fishing. Choosing the leash length, take into account the characteristics of the reservoir and fishing technique. The classic Bologna gear is equipped with a 60-cm leash. For wiring, its optimal length is 40 cm. Experts recommend going out to the pond with a set of hooks, and best of all with pre-prepared leashes. In this case, the fisherman will be more convenient to change them during fishing. If the bait is represented by bloodworms, maggots or small grains, then hooks No. 14-18 will do. On peas, corn and a worm are fished using hooks No. 8-12.
About snap Bologna fishing rods
According to experts, the rods used in stagnant water bodies and with a strong current are different. In ponds, lakes, quarries, marshes and toads, fishing rods with blank equipment are used. It is characterized by the location of the main load from the hook at a distance of 50-60 cm, additional loading and reloading near the bait itself. Blind rigging is effective for 30 meter castings. Those who are going to fish in bodies of water with a strong current, equipping their fishing rod, should take into account the flow rate. If the flow is small, the load should be placed on the forest in the form of a chain. The distance between the pellets should be 10-15 cm. For moderate to medium strength streams, it is advisable to place the main load in the fishing rod at a distance of 70-80 cm from the hook. Then, retreating 15 cm, you need to place a chain of pellets of various weights. The equipment ends with an easy backing. For strong currents, a sliding sinker is used in the rod, which is fixed from below with the help of pellets. Such a snap provides for the location of the recess at a distance of 15 cm from the hook.
About fishing rods
By such a parameter as flexibility, Bologna gear are:
- Hard or fast formation. Bending is provided only for the tip of the fishing rod.
- We build medium hardness. You can bend the top.
- Medium fishing rods bend to the middle.
- Slow or parabolic. Such a rod can be bent along its entire length.
About application
Many owners of Bologna fishing rods practice fishing with support. With this technique, tackle floats do not let go. Thus, the tool moves slower than the water flow. As a result, even very passive fish may become interested in bait. Fishermen throw gear beyond the fishing ground. After that, they are released and carried out with a fishing rod at the place of bait. At the same time, the forest should remain on its weight and not touch the water. Experts do not recommend performing sharp or prolonged adherence. Otherwise, the float will jump out of the water. Also quite effective is the technique that is called the “wire”. They are fished using large teardrop-shaped floats with long antennas. They also increase the load of gear, due to which it moves behind the float more slowly than the water stream. Judging by numerous reviews, many fishermen like the free drift technique. For this method, tacking and weighting are not required. The technique consists in precise casting and further support of the tackle with the help of a fishing rod. Compared to previous techniques, free drift is less productive, but the easiest. Bologna fishing rods are suitable for fishing in the classical way in bodies of water with stagnant water. The fisherman needs to cast the bait with a float to the bait site. The movement of the float can be controlled visually.
What will experts advise?
Who does not know which fishing rod to give preference to, experienced fishermen recommend choosing a product with a hard and medium-hard formation. Such a rod is easier to handle by posting gear and hooking fish. When buying, you should pay attention to the condition of the inner surface of the access rings.
A fishing rod should not be taken if even the slightest roughness is noticed. Otherwise, the wood will fray and wear out quickly. Preference should be given to rods, the through rings of which have internal porcelain liners.
