Even experienced anglers often wonder how to put bloodworms on the mormyshka in such a way as to attract the attention of potential prey. This need becomes a real problem for beginners who are not familiar with the features of winter fishing. Let's look at how to plant bloodworms on mormyshka in various ways.
What should be the hook?
Catching mormyshka with a bloodworm is quite a difficult task, since such bait can quickly become worthless when choosing the wrong hook. To avoid trouble, for fishing it is necessary to select the most sharp, thin products.
A massive tip can cause injury to the bait, the contents of which will leak out before being thrown into the hole. However, don’t choose too tight mormyshki for catching on bloodworms, because not only will bait be poorly kept on them, but the number of gatherings will also increase noticeably when cutting.
Standard mounting method
The simplest solution that will allow you to reliably fix the bloodworm on the hook is to pierce the point between the head and the rest of the body with the tip. With this method, you can plant both a single bait and a whole string.
The method is designed for prey, which prefers to suck a few hanging bait. With insignificant activity of the fish, this solution can be improved by covering the tip of the hook.
How to put bloodworm on mormyshka behind the head?
A universal highly effective way to attach a single bait: a hook is clamped between the thumb and forefinger of one hand, the other holds the larva head up, where the tackle is driven. The tip is threaded through the body of the bait, but does not pierce through. As a result, the bloodworm should hang slightly off the hook.
Hosiery
How to put bloodworms on mormyshka, if you have to fish, which is small in size? In this case, the option of gaining larvae with a stocking will come to the rescue.
First, a bloodworm pierces a point in the head. In this case, the sting looks into the tail of the bait. Extremely carefully, with leisurely finger movements, the larva is pulled onto the hook. The drooping part is minimized to the limit, but the sting is not pulled out of the body. Having figured out how to put bloodworms on mormyshka in this way, you will see that there is nothing left for a small fish, how to grab a miniature hook along with the bait.
Quick hitting
The described methods require a certain sleight of hand and relative leisurely actions. However, how to plant bloodworms on mormyshka at the peak of the bite when a real zhor is observed in the prey? Sometimes a complicated sequence of actions is prevented by frozen fingers. In such situations, accidentally hitting the bait comes to the rescue.
A coil of bloodworm is clamped between the fingers. Further, the tip penetrates several times the accumulation of larvae, picking up both individual specimens and torn parts. With good biting, potential prey reacts to such a bait no worse than with careful placement.
Sports method
To understand how to hook bloodworms in a hook in this way, it is recommended to anglers who participate in ice-fishing competitions. The method guarantees the presence of bite when hunting for fish of any size.
The point of the marmyshka is introduced into the body of the larva approximately in the region of the fifth or sixth ring (middle of the body). In this case, the sting remains in the middle of the bait. The hook should look towards the tail or bait head. The tip slowly advances in such a way as not to damage the bloodworm's body.
Touching the "belt"
In many ways, the planting method is similar to the previous one. The bloodworm is also threaded in the middle. However, the point comes out, leaving the tail and head of the larva sagging.
Having figured out how to put the bloodworm on a hook, grabbing the body "by the belt", you can significantly speed up the process of catching bleak, roach or perch at times of active biting. Located in this form, the bait is an extremely attractive treat for the above fish.
However, how to put bloodworms on mormyshka and hook in this way, if the prey behaves relatively passively? To irritate the appetite of the underwater inhabitants, it is recommended to plant several larvae at a time.
Big fish head
When hunting for large prey, for example, when fishing for bream, they resort to the use of volumetric beams of bloodworms, which are fixed on the hook with homemade cuffs. Small bites of nipple gum allow you to fix the bait on the mormyshka.
A similar operation can be done in a few seconds. It is enough to pass a dense bunch of larvae into a ringlet, and then hook it. In this case, the size of the gear and the size of the tip will not play a significant role, which looks like an obvious advantage when fishing large fish.
To speed up the procedure allows the manufacture of a special home-made device. Take an empty transparent ballpoint pen case. The end is carefully cut with a knife on a bevel. As a result, a peculiar pointed scoop should form.
The rubber ring is pulled over the handle body and is placed near the sharp part. A large bunch of larvae is scooped up, after which the cuff is pulled together, simultaneously grabbing the bait.
Having spent about an hour preparing rubber rings, the fisherman gets the opportunity to come fishing fully armed, counting on the largest catch. In some cases, after eating the bait, the cuffs remain in place. Therefore, they can be used repeatedly in several passes.
Useful Tips
What should not be forgotten, if it is decided to catch bloodworms:
- It is better to give preference to thin hooks. The thickness that allows you to carefully plant the bait, it is easy to determine visually.
- Fresh fishing bloodworms should be taken for fishing. You can determine the quality by color. Good larvae are distinguished by a bright shade, actively moving. The stale bait has a dull color, does not shine in the sun and quickly darkens.
- It is recommended to change the bloodworm after each successful bite. Such bait is extremely tender. Therefore, any contact leads to damage.
- The bait should look natural to the underwater inhabitants. Therefore, at the first opportunity, it is worth hiding the sting of a jug.
The attention of the fish is best drawn to greasy, active bait. The most effective can be the bait, formed from a heavy bunch of bloodworms and several maggots.
Eventually
Often, the catch value in the under-ice fishing method is determined in a matter of seconds. Therefore, it is important for amateur fishermen to master several ways of planting bloodworms, which will allow you to quickly change the bait and send it almost instantly to the pond. Procrastination after catching a fish or biting can lead to the departure of the flock over a long distance.
The bloodworm must always be at hand. It is no accident that each experienced angler uses his own, most convenient option for storing bait. It is convenient for someone to place a bloodworm on ice, others cling to a container with larvae on a jacket sleeve or tie it to a knee.
