In jig fishing for predators, the main role is assigned to the rod. The spinning parameters will depend on whether the fisherman sees the bite or returns home empty-handed.

In contact with

Many newcomers, having studied the theory of predatory jig fishing, are looking forward to the moment to put their knowledge into practice. To do this, it is necessary to collect a graceful one that will throw the bait far away, as well as transfer each bite to a spinningist. First of all, it is important to find a workable rod.

But before you go to the store, you should determine for yourself the basic parameters of the jig stick.

In this case, it will be possible not to become puzzled in front of a rich selection of spinning models and not to repeat the typical mistakes of beginners.

The solution to the price issue

The magic world of spinning rods will open in specialized fishing stores for the beginner jigit. First of all, there is a large variation in cost. Such a significant difference in price is due to several reasons. It is better to note the main components that determine the cost of each model.

For a novice horseman, it seems to me, it is best to learn this method of fishing with a rod worth from 3,000 to 6,000 rubles. As you gain experience, a clearer picture of jig spinning will come to the fisherman.

Test score

The whole method of jig predator fishing is based on the fact that the bait must move under the water stepwise. Each contact of a jig head with an artificial fish of the bottom surface is clearly determined by the spinningist. To achieve this, all rods have a special designation, which is called a test or casting. Usually the parameter is expressed in grams; it shows the angler the weight range of baits that spinning will work best with.

1. For perch fishing is usually required, the casting of which does not exceed 10 g, if fishing occurs in shallow standing waters. When fishing is conducted under more difficult conditions (the presence of bottom obstacles, a strong current, a deep fishing horizon), a stick with a test load of 15-30 g is required.
2. It is possible to catch a pike successfully both on easy baits weighing from 5 to 15 g, and heavy models (25-30 g). Accordingly, the test range of the rod should allow to work with such loads.
3. Pike perch is most often found at great depths. In this case, the rod is selected with a dough of about 30-40 g. Small sudachks weighing up to 1 kg should be sought at medium depth, therefore, the requirement for casting the stick is reduced to 20 g.

Fishing does not always go as notes. Often you have to spinningist to put heavier or lighter snap than admits.

And if the use of lower-mass casting lures has a negative effect only on the sensitivity of the fishing rod, the installation of very heavy jig heads is fraught with breakage of gear. I would recommend starting to catch a jig lure with a rod that allows the use of equipment weighing from 10 to 40 g.

Story rods

The next important indicator rod for jig will be. Under this parameter spinning anglers imply the reaction of the stick on the applied load. This indicator is indicated by such English words as:

• extra fast (super fast);
• fast (build fast);
• moderate (build medium);
• slow (build slow).

The division into groups is as follows.

Ultra-fast models are required when fishing for zander; they allow you to pierce the dense mouth of a fanged robber during hooking. Spinning with the designation fast look preferable in the production and perch. Models with a slow or moderate scale are not suitable for jig fishing.

Rod length

When choosing a spinning for jig fishing, it is necessary to determine the length of the rod. Beginner fisherman can advise the following rule in determining the desired size.

• For fishing with the means of swimming are usually required models of rods length 1.7-2.1 m.
• When fishing from the shore, it is required to throw the bait further, therefore the size of the fishing rod increases to 2.4-3.0 m.
• The most universal length range is 2.1-2.4 m. Such spinning allows fishing in a variety of conditions.

In some rods, the length designation is given not in our usual units of measure (cm), but in feet and inches. In this case, you must remember that 1 foot corresponds to 0.3 m, and an inch equals to 2.5 cm. Simple mathematical calculations will allow to bring this designation to an understandable value.

The best samples for jig fishing

Recognized leaders in the category of spinning rods are the following models.

There is no consensus among spinningists about the best rod for jig fishing. For this reason, it is necessary to build on your wishes and preferences. In this case, it will bring real pleasure while fishing, and not a single predator bite will escape the attentive eye of the anglerfish.

One of the most successful ways of spinning fishing is jigging. For most fishermen, it is the main technique paired with twitching fishing all year round. Although a tangible advantage brings in the cold period, starting in the fall and ending in the spring. Spinning for jig is a relatively powerful rod, which should work 100 percent when catching a jig with baits. He is obliged to provide long casting, to have a quick response, to exercise deep control on the bite, as well as to hook fish.

The choice of rods for spinning is very important, although on the other hand it allows certain liberties, which depend on your individual habits and commitment or strength or soft fishing style.

These include length, material, build, test range - should be analyzed for compliance with the goals and objectives that you set. If you are going to catch from a boat, then this is one thing, and from the shore on a considerable pond - another, on a small river - the third. Ideally, for any of these cases, you will need your rod. Use spinning for heavy jig preferably not less than 260 cm long, even better - 360 - 380 cm.

By tradition, it was formed that the majority of fishermen got used to short rods. The popularity of short spinning is necessary to search for twenty years ago, when, apart from glued bamboo and monolithic "glass", the Fisherman-Athlete shops were not offered. With the length of the rod of three meters, the weight of such spinning was higher than any reasonable limits, as a result, such rods were not in special demand.

Small rivers are usually called first, which use spinning for easy jig. As for the "weight category", then there is indeed more often in the course of the bait weighing 6-8 g, and sometimes even less. As for the length, one can argue - especially when one-and-a-half meter spinings advise us, motivating such a choice with the convenience and maneuverability of fishing in cramped conditions.

Not every small river is overgrown with willow, like a bed of weeds. For example, on the Sturgeon, with rare exceptions in certain areas, it is possible to catch a spinning reel of usual length without the risk of catching itself when throwing at branches of trees or bushes. Although even where such a problem is very topical, it is not necessary to go to extremes. And to stop the choice on the rod, which is 165-235 cm long. Otherwise, you will begin to experience difficulties with the casting distance, because the weight of the bait is extremely small, and it can sometimes be sent in forty to forty-five meters and beyond.

The length of the rod for the boat in the range of 1.85 - 2.45 m will be the best. You should not reject longer ones. There are professional anglers who, with success, catch themselves from the boat themselves and stubbornly recommend others with spinning lengths of 300 to 330 cm. The trip to jig spinning, adopted in some European countries, has both fishing with a long rod and fishing from the shore. The seeming slowness is compensated by considerable convenience of conducting. And the existing difficulties with vyvazhivaniyu - special equipment: the fish are thoroughly tiring, then take a weakened friction clutch. All this requires composure and skill.

The length is a parameter of the rod, which, as they say, is visible simply to the naked eye. Because of this, everything is extremely simple with length. It is more difficult to give advice on the system. The structure of any rod is a multifaceted concept. The division into “slow” and “fast” or into “parabolic” and “end” displays the front features of the spinning only in the first approximation. Fishermen who have caught jig-spinning for more than ten years, and they would not have taken upon themselves the responsibility to make public one type of system, undoubtedly, good, and another, certainly, bad. A similar position is inherent in most experienced spinningists, as well as for companies manufacturing spinning rods. In particular, in the catalog you will notice two rods:

• one with a characteristic front line;
• the other is semi-parabolic.

Although at the same time in the section that clarifies the area of ​​their use, something like Jigrute will be said for both, which means that both spinning rods are jig. A truly "frisky" rod quickly and clearly reacting to the bite of the fish - you feel it with your hand.

Rod "telescope" is often able to signal about biting only visually - at the tip, and the hand does not feel anything at all. All this brings confusion to the idea of ​​a perfect jig rod. The choice of the type of system depends on which of the requirements for the rod, priority. If this is a distant and at the same time soft throw of the spinning, the slowest build will be best. Therefore, for power casting is suitable medium front. Superfast end view of the system is not bad for an optimal feeling of wiring jig, as well as bite, it instantly shows hooking on the fishing line.

Optimal fishing rods of our days have a combined type of action, which optimally combines the strengths of simple types. Approximate to ideal spinning for jig at low loads functions as a tip - it gives good sensitivity when wiring. And at large loads, it functions as a parabolic floor - as a result, the range of casting of heavy baits increases, and when power is raised, the power reserve increases, and large fish get exhausted more quickly.

If you have one of the expensive modern rods at your disposal, you can restrict them for a certain time, because the combined operation increases the spinning potential, makes it much better in terms of the weight of baits used, and in terms of the size of the prey. Although it will be much better if in your arsenal, in addition to the main one, there is a place for two or three special purpose rods - in particular, for lightweight jigs or for natural baits - which differ, first of all, in the test range and structure, and then in length. . A solid spinning rod has about half a dozen rods, which differ from each other in parameters, and each is by no means home-made, but systematically happens in work.

Test, sensitivity and length

To select the length and test range of a spinning, they often focus on similar factors:

• casting distance;
• flow rate;
• depth of fishing;
• aggressive posting;
• jig weight bait.

If this is all translated into the language of anglers, then the jig rod is called a “ringing” blank made of high-quality material, swift or extremely fast, with a length of 270 to 350 centimeters and a test range of 12.5 to 38.5 grams. The test range of circumstances may change up or down. The word "sonorous" is characterized by one of the most important parameters of spinning - sensitivity. When fishing for spinning jigs, keep in mind the stepped bottom wiring, at which you need to feel the touch of the bottom bait, as well as the fish bite.

Spinning jig coil

All kinds of fishing reels, such as common inertia-free or inertial ones, are applied with success in the Russian water expanses by type of multipliers or "Neva". Let's now analyze each separately.

Spinning reels

A huge advantage is the simplicity in use, a small probability of the formation of a "beard" and an extensive range on the shelves of our stores. The jig-free reel for the jig must match the nature of the fishing on the jig:

• have an instantaneous stopper;
• o blad a magnified spool;
• spool and roller must be of high quality.

These requirements are due to a significant load during wiring, as well as when using braided fishing line, which, as you know, has an abrasive property.

Inertia reels

This category includes two types, one of which should pay special attention - these are multipliers. They are more durable, and also give an additional opportunity to catch information with the fingers when catching. This can be done using the inertia-free coil with the index finger.

Jig line

Use for fishing can be woven and monofilnuyu fishing line. However, the qualities that braided fishing lines have that answer to the whole fishing process: zero extensibility will instantly give us a notice from the bottom, and the memory will not twist the presence of memory. The thickness of the fishing line used is chosen by practice and consists in a balanced selection of all the equipment in order to provide the most gentle and natural bait feed. I warn you against the use of thin woods. For more than one year I came to this point of view. In order to preserve the main line, use leads with the correct breaking load, which should be approximately one third less than the base of the jig lure.

Silicone baits can serve as jig baits. A foam rubber and spinners, rotating with the front shipment, are used less frequently, but still used - oscillating spinners.

Silicone bait for jig

Today, silicone soft baits rightfully have the first place in this list. Many fishermen do not know at all what bait can still be caught in this way. There is simply a huge variety of types, shapes and colors, sizes.

All of them are twisters, floating or sinking, vibrotails, worms, crayfish, inedible or edible, as well as in different price ranges. In addition, there are many options equipment:

• caroline equipment - spaced, the main plus of which is complete freedom of bait;
• texan rig - has an increased permeability in the thickets of algae and snags;
• diverter lead - has long been known and highly productive equipment;
• drop-shot - now it is only gaining momentum, however, there is not yet the best rigging for point fishing.

Spinners for jig

Every fisher has his own favorite form of sinker, the preference of which is more conditioned by habit. Favorite by me - the rugby jig-head is not in any store. Therefore, I often take a spherical one, and according to experience, I believe that you can catch efficiently with any kind of sinker.

Jig spinning

Classic step. Let's stop only on the classical step, which is the most famous among our fishermen. So, made a cast. Give the bait free to descend to the bottom of the reservoir (noticeably along sagging fishing line). Take the spinning at an angle of 45 - 50 degrees in relation to the water, and then make 5 - 6 turns with the coil handle. Wait until the bait sinks to the bottom (the line sags again and the tip of your rod straightens), and then repeat the winding. Undermining the bait can also be done with a spinning, namely, modifying its position.

Rush the rod end of the rod following a throw at the landing point of the bait parallel to the water. Choose an unnecessary slack of the fishing line and move the position of your spinning from “parallel” to “perpendicular”. Wait until the bait sinks to the bottom, and repeat all over again. The advantages of this method are obvious (especially when fishing with large silicones) - you can relatively sharply undermine the bait from the bottom. The greater the acceleration, the more vibration it organizes in the water and, in accordance with the greater distance, will attract fish. But in this way it is more difficult to control the bait when posting, and also not to lose contact with it. Fix the bites on the changes in braiding tension and the tip of the rod - the cutting must be timely, immediately after the “hit” or “poke”.

Most bites occur during the free fall phase, as a result of this, try to select a balanced rig, which will give the limiting fall time, without harming the sensitivity of the gear. It is also necessary to say that fishing with a stream requires less weight of the load than with fishing against a stream.

Search fishing

Made for the rapid harvest of a large area of ​​water in order to detect the concentration of fish. It is mainly used in an unknown reservoir and represents the expression “take more, throw away” in reality. We take a heavy jig head, we throw it, wherever our eyes look, and then we carry out a classic step at a forced pace. When registering poklevki move to another type of fishing - local.

Local fishing

When you have already decided on a good place where there are stable bites, we change the weighted jig head to the light version, at which the natural plastic feed of the bait is achieved. The posting speed is reduced (with the help of a sinker relief), and the bait after the blast is required to reach the bottom in 3 to 7 seconds. Local fishing is the most effective. This is the reward for the baited bait for the “blind” search for fish.

Fishing is considered one of the most popular men's activities. It is not only an interesting pastime option for calming and relaxing, but also an opportunity to spend time with interest, calling your friends or going fishing with your family. But in order not only to relax in a pleasant company, but also to rejoice in the catch, it is necessary to purchase special equipment.

Conventionally, all fishermen can be divided into two groups. To one can be attributed all those anglers who see fishing as just a harmless hobby - an activity to which you can devote some free time. Fishing for them is a calm and measured hobby. Such people do not know about the latest trends in the world of modern fishing tackle. In general, they simply indulge in their beloved work, sitting on the bank of a small stream with an old, proven fishing rod in their hands.

But another group of fishermen is a real interest society. These are already experienced anglers, distinguishing the varieties of gear to the touch, watching everything associated with fishing. They can find the most effective tackle for fishing, they are always trying to improve their skills. They know what techniques can be used in a certain situation, and they definitely have favorite chips. The information that will be indicated later in this article will be of interest to just such people, as well as newcomers in this interesting case.

We are talking about a certain type of spinning fishing - jig, or rather, spinning, which would be best suited for this type of fishing. Then you can learn how to choose a spinning jig. To do this, it will be possible to get acquainted with the spinning rating, as well as the budget spinning rating.

In order to make the right choice of spinning for this type of fishing, you first need to evaluate all the parameters of gear available on the market. This will make a balanced and rational decision.

Rod test

For a start it is worth saying about the rod test. Such a test is to determine the mass of the load, which can be delivered to a certain point of the reservoir, while not being afraid of breakage of the rod. It's all very simple - the more test rod, the more load can be used in the process of fishing. There are certain categories of forms for tests:

• Trolling jig   - over fifty grams;
• Heavy jig   - over twenty grams;
• Middle jig   - from 10 to 25 grams;
• Light jig   - from 5 to 15 grams;
• Microjig   - from one to ten grams.

In that case, if the stick is light, then the coil for it is selected appropriate - if we take the classification according to Shimano, then 1000-2000, under the netting and thin fishing line. In that case, if the model relates more to the average test, then the coil will need to take a little more - up to 3000 according to the same Shiman classification. In the case of belonging to a heavy category, the coil will also need more impressive - 4000-5000.

The most important thing is not to miss a bite!

You can get to the "fish" place, but not catch anything. Now there are special self-cutting rods with a special mechanism:

• At the moment of biting, the line is tensioned, which causes the cutter to operate.
• The fish, hooked at the right time, remains on the hook, and you just have to get it out of the pond!

In principle, this division is very conditional, on the forms it is not always possible to see symbols that are necessarily a multiple of five or ten. On some spinning, designed for jig fishing, you can see the parameters on the test like - 8-24, 0.5-6.

The lower boundary of the dough indicates the minimum weight of the load that can be felt by the spinning chosen under the jig. The upper limit informs the fisherman about the maximum weight of the load, which, when casting, will not break the rod. Be sure to pay attention to these instructions, so that later does not cause damage to the gear. But at the same time, it’s not worth worrying too much that the weight of the load closely matches the upper boundary of the test. The fact is that the producers have provided for this and, therefore, in most cases they are reinsured by marking instructions on the forms that are slightly overestimated by the pre-set ones.

In most cases, spinning for micro jig is used for catching perch, but one should take into account the fact that another predator, for example, a pike, can attempt on small bait. In such a situation, you have to rely on the quality of the coil.

String spinning for jig

Now it is necessary to switch to another parameter, which should be paid attention to when choosing a spinning for jig. We are talking about the structure of the rod - an indicator of how the rod bends under load.

The following types of systems should be noted:

Finally, you can add that the speed parameter decreases depending on the length of the form, here the principle of inverse proportionality applies - the longer the form, the less speed. When reducing the speed parameter, a certain whiplind rod is achieved. Three-meter extra fast does not exist.

Rod Length

The length of the jig spinning depends on certain conditions under which fishing is carried out - on the size of the reservoir, as well as on the method of fishing: from a boat or from the shore. The length of the spinning for the jig is in the following interval: 2.1-3.5 meters. For fishing from boats or on small rivers, short rods are better suited. For coastal jig carried out on large reservoirs, you will need to take long rods.

Novice anglers are advised to choose medium fast spinning for a jig of 2.4-2.7 meters in length with a rod test of about 10-30 grams. It is also recommended to purchase a reel with a rod, as this will allow you to better understand the overall work of the entire system right there in the store.

Material and weight of gear

Here it should be noted that there are trends regarding the material from which the rods are made. Rods, which are aluminum sticks due to their gravity, are already considered obsolete. Also out of fashion were forms of fiberglass, which were once considered to be a very interesting and effective innovation.

Modern jig spinning is a lightweight rod made of high modulus graphite and made according to the most modern technologies. The method of manufacturing spinning, as well as the addition of certain manufacturing materials to the composition, made it possible to improve some characteristics of jig spinning - plasticity, strength and lightness.

Models and manufacturers

Separately, I want to talk about the choice of jig spinning, focusing on the reviews of different models and manufacturers, which have long been proven positively on the market of jigs for spinning.

Experts and professionals know exactly about some of the "titans" manufacturers of jig spinning. It is worth mentioning the Japanese Graphiteleader   and ShimanoNorwegian NorstreamKorean Black hole, Maximus   and Aikoamerican St. Croixas well as Russian. This is really popular gear, which has long been in great demand among fans of jig fishing.

Every fisherman has his favorite models used for fishing, but an aspiring fisherman may be faced with the problem of making choices from those models that exist on the spinning market. That is why they prefer to focus on the reviews of experienced users, which can be found on the thematic forums. But each has its own taste and opinion, so you can easily get confused in all comments and reviews.

Below will be presented the top models of spinning jigs, which are in great demand and have gained an impressive reputation, judging by the reviews on the Internet left by already experienced anglers:

1. A very notable series of jig spinning is the Black Hole Hyper. The length of such spinning is from 2.7 to 3.2 meters;
2. The best microjig spinning can be considered Maximus Fish Pointon - on the Internet they have a lot of positive reviews and comments from already experienced users;
3. St. Croix Wild River is a special series of American jig rods, the test of which ranges from 10 to 35 grams;
4. Japanese manufacturers are represented in this top model Shimano Game AR-C. The test of such rods ranges from 6 to 84 grams. The ruler itself is characterized by the following length - from 2.5 to 4.1 meters;
5. Maximus Ranger Rockfish - high-quality spinning under the jig, characterized by its ultra lightness. It should be noted that the top of such rods is monolithic, which has its advantages due to its high sensitivity, which makes it possible to feel even the slightest touch of a fish to a bait.

Also, a separate list should highlight another jig spinning rating, made up of the best models of jig rods, which are low cost, and may be available to a wide range of anglers. For fishermen who are just starting to use jig rods, this top spinning for jig will be very useful, since it will be possible to start with them without immediately acquiring expensive tackle.

A jig is a way to lead a bait by stepped through the bottom or in the water column. To feel the relief of the bottom, snags and bites of fish, you need a tool with a narrow specialization. So, we choose the rod just for the jig.

When choosing a spinning jig, I always rely on my fishing preferences. With my fishing experience, I do not need the advice of sales assistants or familiar anglers. To some extent, the advice of other people, of course, will be correct, but you should not forget that much still depends on the conditions of fishing (you can catch from the shore or from a boat), as well as on what fish you are counting on. These and a number of other factors determine the choice of spinning for the jig.

Spinning length
  Conventionally, the jig is divided into boating and coastal. From the boat I mostly catch small rivers, very rarely on lakes. For a small river, I need spinning with a length of no more than two meters, because, catching in a boat, I don’t have to chase the casting distance: here you can throw any short spinning anywhere.

Spinning for coastal jig may be longer, for a small river, for example, 2.4-2.7 meters. On large waterways, long-distance casting is needed, often the best option would be a rod with a length of 2.7 meters. For fishing of very distant brooks and heavy jig some jig lovers take three meter long sticks. Their choice is justified when you need to cast bait weighing 40-60 grams per hundred meters.

Destination spinning - jig
  Reading the inscriptions and markings on the spinning blanks, it is not always possible to find information about the purpose of this or that rod. There are, of course, models of spinning, on which it is clearly written that they are intended to jig, but they still need to be searched. So what should a novice do, who has a huge stand with rods before his eyes?

An intelligent seller can tell you which rod is better, but you shouldn’t trust him completely, because intelligent sellers do not work everywhere, and often they may have an interest in selling a certain product that you don’t need.

String spinning for jig
  Jig spinning should have a fast (Fast) or superfast (Extra Fast) system, and rods with a medium-fast system (Medium Fast) are also popular.

Quick spinning operation gives it a high sensitivity, touching the bottom with a lure is visible along the tip and can be felt in the hand depending on the structure of the bottom, the thickness of the cord and the weight of the lure.

The super-fast action is characterized by the fact that the rod is harder, but requires a more delicate attitude. For the price of these spinning rods are more expensive, louder, in general, you need to be able to handle them.

It is better for a beginner to start with rods with a medium-fast build. They are softer than all of the above and tolerate various mistakes of beginners in a jig, such as a very strong hook-up during a throw and dodge. By the way, fast sticks often break when hooking: a novice catches a snag, thinks that this is a fish, and cuts off all the dope. This rod can not stand, I know these situations, and they happen repeatedly.

Sensitivity gear
  The more sensitive your spinning jig will be, the better. This indicator is completely dependent on the price, because such forms need materials more expensive, and the process of their manufacture, respectively, is also more expensive. And the prices of such spinning tend to infinity ...

But do not chase the price: a normal jig stick starts at $ 100. Sometimes, however, there are rare exceptions when the manufacturer makes the rod cheaper than a hundred bucks, but it meets all the characteristics required for jig fishing. I'm not saying that it will be a miracle spinning, but as an option it is quite suitable. Not everyone can afford to buy expensive gear. That is why manufacturing companies are trying to produce goods in different price categories, so that many can afford to get involved in their favorite business.

There are pens and reel holders that have a shape that allows you to better feel the bite in your hand. For example, on my spinning jig you can put your index finger on the blank. In the photo you can see how it looks.

What should be the test?
  When we select spinning for jig, we look at its test. For each reservoir it is different, because the weight of the bait lugs is also different. For the big river and reservoirs popular tests from 10-40 to 15-50. They may be slightly different, but, as a rule, the test is always large so that you can catch 20-40 grams for loads. In spinning for reservoirs, the test may begin with a range of 7-28.

For lakes I use rods with dough 1-10, 2-12, 4-16, 5-20. It depends on what kind of fish we catch and what depths there are. The smaller the depth, the less should be your spinning test. With the same dough they catch on small rivers.

Most spinningists mastered as the most productive. Jig fishing is effective at any time of the year, but is most effective in cold water.

Spinning is selected depending on the size of the bait. At the same time, it should provide long-distance casts, the possibility of carrying out effective cuttings and provide visual control of bites. If the rod is chosen correctly, then we can talk about the effectiveness of the jig. Choose the rod, paying attention to such factors:

• Depending on fishing from shore or from a boat.
• Where it is supposed to fish - on the lake or on the river.

When choosing a spinning rod, you need to familiarize yourself with the information that carries the main characteristics of the rod:

• Its length.
• Building
• The test.
• The material.
• Coils.

Rod length

Most running rods have a length of 2.4-2.7 m. For lovers - this is what you need. It is undesirable to use shorter forms, as it will not be possible to throw the bait far. Rods longer than 2.7 meters are not very convenient to use, especially if there are overgrown trees on the shore. If you have a lot of experience with spinning, then you can choose rods that are more than 3 meters long.

Story

Build rods as important as the length. It allows you to quickly see the bite or help to cope with a large fish. The most suitable action is the combined one, which, with inactive bites, allows only the tip of the rod to bend, and for serious bites, the entire rod is bent.

The best way to transfer information about the bite is a quick action, while a slow one allows for more distant casts.

Telescopic rods also lose the issue of identifying bites. In this case, this is hampered by numerous joints of the rod of the rod. In addition, they are less reliable.

Test

When fishing with a jig, baits are used, weighing from 12 to 38 g, respectively, the rod is chosen for them. In the arsenal of spinning, usually there are at least 2 rods. One rod is designed to use baits of not great weight (up to 20 g) and the second rod is for heavier baits weighing up to 40 g.

Material

Given the fact that fishing with spinning involves a long time to keep the rod in hand, you should give preference to lighter, more modern structures made of composite or carbon fiber. This will reduce the load on the hands and fishing will not be so tedious that you may not want it at all.

Spinning reels are divided into two types:

1. Inertia.
2. Inertialess.

Spinning reels are very popular among spinningists because of the reliability, functionality and simplicity of design. Moreover, they are convenient and easy to operate. These coils are available in various sizes and with different functionalities. The jig coil is selected for the following reasons:

• The coil should have a backstop.
• The spool should contain at least 100 m of fishing line.
• The spool and roller should be of high quality.

The requirements are quite high, since the predator is mainly caught on spinning, and among them there are serious individuals capable of providing significant resistance.

Modern inertial designs are fundamentally different from the former Soviet ones, although they are now used by fishermen for picking up bottom gear. Unfortunately, this is where their application ends. Inertial multiplier (sea) coils are increasingly used by anglers, especially when fishing for large fish, such as carp, for example. Given the fact that the carp is able to adequately resist, the multiplier reel, like no other, is suitable for this. At the same time, it should be noted that branded inertialers are not inferior to anything multiplicative, and in terms of functionality and ease of working with them, they can compete.

The best spinning jig

Along with a wide range of different rods you can find models designed for jig fishing. The Black Hole Hyper model can be called the best, as it relates only to the jig. If we talk about the price, it is absolutely acceptable.

Good value for money has a model of Major Craft Restive. With a length of 2.57 m and a test of 7-28 g, it is highly sensitive and reliable.

Video, how to choose a jig spinning

The choice of a spinning rod is a very crucial moment. Sometimes one rod can not do, because there are no rods that could cover the entire weight range of baits. If there are such rods, or something similar is written on them, then this is most likely a fake designed for a sucker. Most professionals (and perhaps all) have at least 2 rods available, or even three with tests that increase from small to great. It is clear that there should be spinning for ultra-light baits, with a test of up to 12 g. It will be impossible to use baits with a weight of 12 grams with the same rod, since it will be very difficult to control the bait. It is very difficult to control the bait, if the test rod under 30 g, and the bait weighs 16 g, and even on the course. Therefore, the test rod should correspond to the weight of the baits used, and even have a stock, somewhere gram 2.

In spinning, everything should be optimal: the rod, the reel, and the fishing line. It does not make sense for ultra-light fishing rods to install a powerful reel and a thick fishing line. But there are certain risks associated with biting large individuals. Everything can ruin the ubiquitous pike, which can easily disable such tackle. If you install such a fishing line and a powerful reel on a rod with a large dough, then you can’t count on catching small individuals, and large ones rarely peck. Therefore, you need to pick something in between.
