Fishing has long been known not only as a way of getting fish, but also as a great vacation that allows you to relax, restore your nerves and health after being in a noisy city, and also chat with like-minded people near a merrily crackling fire. Fishing in the winter has its own characteristics, because it is not for nothing that it is believed that winter fishing is a pastime of exceptionally strong-willed men. The handmade winter baubles used at this time of the year will be the main topic of our today's article.

What kind of tackle is this?

What is a lure? A lure is a metal plate that is equipped with one or more hooks for catching fish. In this case, the hook can also be masked with plastic plates or feathers. Often the spinner is an imitation of a small fish, sometimes it is another creature, for example, a mouse, a leech, a frog. The movement of the spinner in the water is denoted by the term "game".

What types are

Depending on the season of use, they are divided into the following types:

• - this includes oscillating, rotating.
• Winter - this species is divided into subspecies:

1. Vertical winter spinners - on one side of the main plate there is a hole for fishing line, on the opposite side there is a hook.
2. Winter spinners in the form of a yoke - the hole that passes the fishing line is located in the center of gravity, while the hooks are soldered from different ends.
3. The so-called Dragon is a heavy and large winter lure with several hooks. This winter lure is rightfully considered a poacher, because when using it, the fish is injured in the event of going off the hook, as they are caught by hooking the fish in the pits in which it hibernates.

Winter baubles differ from summer baubles, because in winter they use sheer baubles. Here, the beautiful play of the baubles when diving and raising the rod is of decisive importance.

You should also dwell on the features of the rods. Winter fishing rods are different from other types of rods. Such a fishing rod does not have a nod, there is no float, and weights can be used by the fisherman at his discretion. Lure on such rods is used instead of a hook. In addition, such a fishing rod must have a reel for fishing line.

Finnish spinners

• Nautilus is narrow and pear-shaped.
• Alaska is more agile.
• Veteran, having a blade in the back, looks very unusual.
• Caravelle, which has "wings" in the back, is a bit like a squid in shape.

A common feature that distinguishes Finnish spinners is the fastening of the tee to the lighter and narrower part of the spinner. During the game of the spinner, its wider part is first deepened. And the tee, together with the nozzle, remains behind the spinner, without interfering with its play.

Separately, we dwell on the spinner of the company Williams. This firm was organized by the Williams brothers and has existed since 1916. These spinners are especially catchy and therefore are often recommended by experienced anglers.

Firm Williams makes from polished brass plates, while the surface of the spinner is covered with a layer of gold or silver. Spinners Williams are known all over the world and have no analogues.

When is the best time to lure

In winter, lure fishing is especially relevant at the very beginning, as well as at the end of winter. Winter lure becomes most attractive to large fish if its movements are similar to those of a small wounded fish. In the absence of a bite, fishing will not be successful only around one hole, it is better to change the place and move on to another hole.

Knowing all the features given in our article that are applicable when fishing with a lure is going on will help even novice anglers succeed.

Catching pike, perch, zander

Consider how fishing for pike on a lure goes

A winter fishing rod for is a well-established tackle that is designed to catch this strong toothy predator. It must be of sufficient length. The line must also be long.

In addition, the rod must be very strong, because the pike is a strong fish, and large pike specimens can break off the rod when jerking. The fishing line should also have special strength, as well as be low-stretch and fairly rigid. The recommended thickness of the fishing line is from 0.3 to 0.4 mm.

A bite, when pike is being caught, is felt by hand, therefore a nod is optional on a fishing rod.

There must be a leash on the fishing rod, since winter spinners move vertically in the water column and the sharpest pike teeth can easily close on with its instant cutting.

Pike fishing is carried out on various winter lures, which differ in the following characteristics:

1. By design.
2. Size.
3. Form.
4. Color.
5. The nature of the game.

The task of any winter spinner is to imitate a small fish that will be attractive to a toothy predator. The spinner should be equipped with sharp and durable tees, because the mouth of the pike is large, and a single hook may simply not be strengthened there.

Successful pike fishing also depends on the size of the spinner itself. In winter, spinners with a length of 6 ÷ 12 cm

In winter, finding pike under water and even more so under ice is much more difficult than in summer. A fish finder can come to the aid of a fisherman. But still, it is important for a fisherman to independently study the topography of the bottom of a reservoir, to determine the presence of holes and brows in it.

Now let's take a closer look at the technique of perch lure fishing.

When it goes, especially if a flock of these striped predators is found, the speed of catching is very important, and the lure is unrivaled in this indicator. Lure during winter fishing perfectly attracts the attention of a perch with its mobility and special brilliance.

Perch fish usually spend the winter in deep holes, gathering in flocks. There, perch fish catch small fish throughout the winter period.

The striped whale is considered a smart fish, therefore catching it should be with a very believable game of spinners. This smart predator is able to look closely for a long time, and then still not take the risk of grabbing the bait if the game does not seem natural to him.

The spinner drops to the bottom level, then with a wave of the fishing rod it is thrown up by 30 ÷ 35 cm. This movement is done several times so that the minke whales pay attention to the flashing bait fish.

We catch pike perch

In winter, it is a frequent topic of conversation for experienced anglers. You can make it successful by using our tips.

In order for zander fishing to be successful, it is recommended to perceive the lure itself like a living creature. The game of spinners is just as important when catching zander as it is when hunting for perch fish.

The middle of winter is characterized by a special passivity of pike perch, therefore the correct management of the lure is of particular importance in order for fishing for pike perch to be successful.

It happens that the zander pushes the lure and plays with it. Therefore, pike perch is nearby and one must be extremely careful at this moment. Small pike perch more often knocks out the lure, while a slight push is felt in the hand that holds the fishing rod.
