Fishing for a predator, we encounter some difficulties in the fishing process: significant casting is needed, but equipment does not give such an opportunity, it is necessary to draw the bait near the bottom, use very slow wiring. Such
In some cases, an indisputable assistant to the angler becomes a lead.
What is this leash?
Such a leash was called a tap-off only because, according to its purpose, it is necessary to take aside a snap or sinker. The main criteria that apply to it are stiffness and sufficient length.
By its structure, the diverting leash can be conditionally divided into a leash for fishing with artificial baits and a leash for fishing with natural baits ( bait fish ).
The first version of the leash is made of thin elastic wire (a guitar string is optimal). The main thing is that the leash does not allow the snap to sink to the bottom, thereby holding it in the bottom layer, in a promising place.
Leash for natural nozzles can be used from the material slightly
thicker than in the first case. Since here his task is to prevent live bait from wrapping tackle around the main fishing line.
How to make a lead leash?
Such a device is quite simple to make yourself. It is enough to have a guitar string and pliers. First, we make the workpiece in size slightly larger than the length of the leash itself. Basically, the length of the leash is 30-40 centimeters. With the help of pliers we make a loop and we wind the excess string over the base. This loop will serve to fasten the nozzle itself. The other side can be directly tied to a triple swivel or make another fastener.
A leash is mounted on the main line in several ways.
If we catch on artificial baits - then we catch it ten centimeters before the end of the main fishing line. At the end of the fishing line we put a sinker. In this form, the leash in the water will be above the sinker by 10 centimeters, that is, in the bottom layer.
The second installation option is designed to use natural bait and is mainly used on fishing rods for predators equipped with a float. Here we mount our invention at a distance that is necessary for fishing. Basically, for fishing on live bait, they use a 30 centimeter deviation from the sinker. IN
In this case, the bait fish will not be able to get into driftwood or to catch the main fishing line.
Benefits of the Leash for Fishing
- This leash makes it possible to carry out equipment in the vicinity of the bottom.
- Keeps the nozzle at a distance from the main fishing line, thereby reducing the likelihood of tool tangling.
- Due to the material from which it is made, the tap lead on the pike is highly reliable - it cannot be bitten by a predator.
- It makes it possible to play the nozzle at an extremely slow speed. Due to the fact that the wire holds the equipment almost parallel to the bottom and does not allow it to drown, we play with a nozzle without its movement.
- If necessary, you can significantly increase the casting range, because the sinker is on the sidelines and does not burden the bait, which cannot be said about classical fishing for wobblers, twisters. In addition, you can always put a sinker of the required weight.
