Currently, the float rod is the mostcommon fishing tackle. Its design is quite simple and straightforward. But how well the equipment is made depends on the catchability and ease of use of such a fishing rod. It consists of several parts: a rod, a reel, a fishing line, a bobber, a hook and a sinker. In most cases, a loop and a reel are attached directly to the rod, which help in winding the fishing line and, accordingly, securing it to the tip.
Convenience when using a fishing rod in the firstthe queue depends on what material it is made of and how it is technically arranged. The float rod is made of carbon fiber, fiberglass or a mixture of these two substances. Fiberglass rods are soft and heavy, while carbon fiber rods are, on the contrary, resilient and very light.
The length of the rod is different, the minimum is two meters, and the maximum is six. Recently, inertialess coils are increasingly being used, since they are practical and break less often.
As for the fishing line, then it all depends onwhere fishing will take place and what kind of fish will be caught. The general rule is: the smaller the fish, the thinner the diameter of the fishing line. The float rod can be equipped with single, double or triple hooks. Most often, of course, used single. These hooks come in different sizes. They are installed on the bait, depending on what type and size of fish the hook is intended for. Thus, hooks No. 1-3 are used for catching small fish, such as bleak, ryuny or minnows, No. 4-6 - for crucian carps, roach, podleschik and gustera, No. 7-10 - for rather large fish, for example, bream or carp , № 11-15 - for soms or perch.
Float fishing rod very successfully usedfor pike fishing on live bait. This is a rather old and proven way of catching such a quirky, toothy predator. This method is best used on reservoirs, ponds, lakes and rivers with mild course. The tackle should consist of a long hard rod with a strong end. The 0.3-0.4 mm fishing line, on which a small sinker and a single hook are attached, is optimally suited. The float should have good buoyancy, so it is better to use foam, cork or bark. Fishing for float fishing will be more successful if you give preference to the larger and egg-shaped form of the float so that it can hold the live bait. When fishing for pike, you should always use a metal leash and a single hook No. 6-10. As a nozzle it is best to pick up a minnow, loach, char, bleak, or small roach.
Live bait through the gills behind the lip, behind the backor tail. The bait is allowed at a distance of half a meter from the bottom and above. When the float is triggered, the rod is gently taken in the hand and waits for a while. This is necessary so that the pike swallows live bait and does not jump off the hook. Cut must be vigorous and confident. Pike fishing on a float rod on standing ponds is especially effective when using a boat. With its help, you can get close to and catch places inaccessible from the shore, holes, bushes and pools, where predators most often hold.
