Among a fairly large number of techniquesSpinning fishing is becoming increasingly popular every year jig fishing. For beginners spinningists such fishing often seems too difficult. However, its effectiveness motivates people to learn techniques and improve their skills. Today we will understand what is jig fishing, and find out what is needed for its development.
Definition
The main feature of jig fishingis specific wiring. Once upon a time, it was borrowed from Asian fishermen, who used it to catch squid. Since then, much has changed and the gear has become more technological, but the essence of the wiring has remained.
When fishing for a jig, use a ragged orstep wiring. Especially for her manufacturers produce jig-heads, which are installed on all sorts of silicone bait: twisters, vibro tails, crustaceans, worms, and others. Most of them are made from simple rubber, but some are made from food.
Rod
Теперь приступим к подбору снастей для рыбалки на jig The first step is to choose a rod. When choosing a spinning, you should pay attention to three main criteria: length, test and sensitivity. Competently picking up the rod under one or another weight of lures, the spinningist will be able to feel the work of the lure as subtly as possible and react in time to bites.
Rod length
The length of the spinning for fishing on the jig is selected independing on the conditions of fishing. If fishing is conducted from a clean shore, the length of the fishing pole can reach up to three meters. If the coast is overgrown, then such dimensions should be abandoned. In such conditions it is worth using a fishing rod with a length of about 2.5 meters.
When fishing on a jig from a boat, the question of long-distance casting fades into the background, which means that you can use the shortest spinning rods here.
Test
The dough is the weight of the bait with whichThe rod will work as efficiently as possible. It is worth picking up it under a class of baits which the fisher prefers. As a rule, beginners start with heavy ones, since they still cannot feel the game of the lungs. Therefore, for a start, you can buy a rod with a dough of about 40 g, and then, as you master the jig technique, switch to a more sensitive spinning.
Sensitivity
Чтобы рыболов мог вовремя среагировать на poklevku, rod should be sensitive. This quality of spinning is formed from two indicators: the structure and the ratio of the weight of the baits with the dough. When using small baits on a fishing rod with a large dough, it makes no sense to talk about its structure. Therefore, in order for the system indicated on the form to have a practical implementation, it is worth working only with those baits that correspond to the rod on the test.
Coil
Новичкам не обязательно приобретать дорогие coils of famous brands. However, saving too much is not recommended. The coil should be reliable and have a smooth ride. When choosing it, it is worth making sure of the build quality and absence of backlash. It is desirable that she had at least three bearings. A mandatory criterion is the presence of a reliable friction brake, which is especially important when catching a predator.
Обычно рыболовы, и в особенности новички, prefer to use instantaneous coils. Of course, inertia is also suitable for spinning fishing, but their use is associated with a number of difficulties, and, as a rule, only experienced anglers use them to expand their skills. From a practical point of view, to date, their use is impractical.
As for the multiplier coils, theirapply only professionals aimed at catching very large fish. Thus, the average price-priced reel will be an excellent tool in jigging for beginners.
Leska
There are three types of fishing line on the fishing gear market:
- classic monophilic;
- modern wicker;
- even more modern fluorocarbon.
Each species has its own merits andlimitations. Fluorocarbon is not visible in water, so it is often used for leashes. When fishing at short distances, the monofilament line works well. Due to the low price, many spinningists prefer it.
At medium and large distances fishingit is preferable to use braided fishing line (cord). It is stronger than monofilament, with the same thickness. Thus, a thin “braid” corresponds to a thicker monofilament. The thinner the fishing line, the less sail it creates when casting. That is why anglers, for whom it is important to throw the bait over a long distance, choose the cord. One more indisputable advantage of a cord is small stretching. Due to this feature, fish bite is transferred to the rod tip as efficiently as possible. Due to the fact that the braided fishing line is practically not stretched, it alone cannot compensate for the jerks of the fish, therefore, using it, it is imperative to loosen the friction brake.
Jig fishing: bait
In jig fishing they use mainlysilicone bait. Nevertheless, the jig wiring also allows working with oscillating and foam spinners. All other spinning baits (wobblers, turntables, poppers, etc.) due to their design features in this type of fishing do not apply.
For example, a spinning lure is good for even wiring, and the game of a wobbler depends not so much on the actions of the angler as on the design of its blade.
So, silicone baits are used in рыбалке джигом наиболее широко.In the market of fishing gear, they are represented in a huge assortment. Due to the successful constructional properties of silicone, it is possible to make not only a copy of the fish, but also copies of all kinds of insects. Silicone baits are presented in a wide dimensional and color ruler. Some of them have a flavor, and some are even edible.
The size of the proposed production - the main criterionin the selection of baits for fishing on the jig. Pike and pikeperch, for example, are caught on large baits, up to 10 cm long. For a perch of such length there are many, and 3-5 centimeters - just right. The type and color of the bait is selected depending on the conditions of fishing, the season and the taste preferences of the fish in a particular pond. The answer to the question of what bait are catchy in jig fishing depends on a huge number of factors. In a spinning set, there should be different baits in size, color and shape, since there is always room for experimentation in fishing.
Installation
Attachment of bait to tackle can be of several types:
- Classic. Involves the use of jig heads - weighed, soldered with a hook.
- Articulated.In this case, the hook is attached to the "eared sinker" (pellet in which two loops are soldered) directly or through a ring. In fact, the hinge differs from the classic assembly only by its mobility and the ability to quickly change the weight of the bait in the process of fishing.
- Texas This is a hinged assembly, in which weights of a particularly oblong shape are used. When fishing in the bush, they cling less.
- Caroline. It differs from the previous attachment in that the load-bullet is attached not to the hook, but to the fishing line, at a distance of 50-120 cm from the bait. Used to attract a passive predator.
- Retractor Leash.It involves the use of heavy sinkers, which is mounted on the end of the main line. At the same time, the lure clings higher, on a leash. The advantage of this installation is that it allows you to make a long throw of a light bait without sacrificing its play.
- Drop shot The idea is about the same as in the past case, only the bait is attached directly to the line, somewhat higher from the sinker.
Select jig heads
When selecting jig heads worth taking into accounttheir weight, shape, and dimensions of the bait for which they are intended. The weight of the jig heads begins with one gram and comes to tens of grams. Small jig heads (1-4 g) are used for ultra-light baits up to 5 cm long. You can successfully catch mixed bass and small pike with such a tandem. So that it is well thrown, the fishing line should be up to 0.01 mm thick, and the rod with a test of no more than 10 g. Otherwise, the bait will fly close, and the angler will not be able to feel how she plays.
The most widely used jig heads weighingfrom 5 to 20 g, which are paired with large silicone spinners. They do well in fishing for jigging on zander, pike and large perch. Beginning spinningists should pay attention to this weight.
Крупные приманки позволяют освоить проводку и learn to feel the gear. Selecting a head for it, you should pay attention not only to their proportionality, but also to how quickly the ready-made equipment will reach the bottom. If at the maximum depth of the zone being harvested, the load with the bait falls to the bottom in less than seven seconds, then it is too heavy. Depending on the shape of the jig head, it can be of the following types:
- spherical;
- rugby;
- ironing
Spherical shape is most common.The only drawback of such a small weight is that it falls to the side when it reaches the bottom. Weights, made in the form of ironing or rugby ball, are deprived of such problems, but they are more difficult to find in the fishing market due to weak demand. As practice shows, the shape of the sinker jig head does not affect the performance of fishing. The main component of success here is the correct wiring.
Fishing techniques
Главная отличительная черта рыбалки на джиг – step wiring. It is worth to dwell upon it. The stepwise wiring cycle consists of two stages - reeling the fishing line (3-5 turns of the coil) and waiting for the moment when the bait falls to the bottom. After casting, you must immediately exhaust the slack and take spinning so that its angle of inclination relative to the surface of the water is approximately equal to 45 degrees. This angle is needed for more effective hooking and greater control over the bait.
Во время проводки можно помочь ей играть путем short rod twitches in different directions. When spinning fishing on a jig bite usually occurs during a pause, when the bait freely sinks to the bottom.
At this point, you need to carefullycontrol the rod tip, which, in the event of a bite, will act as a signaling device. When the bite has occurred, it is necessary to immediately make a short and sharp hooking.
Then begins the most enjoyable stage of fishing,confirming the correctness and expediency of previous actions - vyvazhivanie. At the same time, for beginners of spinningists, dredging can be a difficult task, especially if large fish was caught on a hook, and the reservoir has shores covered with reeds. Therefore, newcomers who master jig fishing on a pike, a pike perch or a large perch are advised to always take along a landing net.
Some helpful tips
Как говорилось выше, джиговые приманки могут put on both the jig-head and the hook connected to the sinker directly or through the fishing line. At first glance it seems that there is no practical difference in installations, but in fact they all differ in casting distance and bait behavior.
Based on this, it is recommended to experiment.with different mounting options (at least with two main ones: a jig-head and a hook with an “eared sinker”), in order to determine the most effective of them for a particular lure on a specific reservoir.
When the pond is heavily tightened, the offset hook comes to the rescue of the spinningist. After mounting the silicone bait, the sting of such a hook is hidden in her body, forming a non-hookable tackle.
Seasonality
Perhaps the best time of year for a jigFishing is spring, at least early. Since the predator in the spring is just beginning to wake up, and its belly is filled with caviar and milt, small lures work best during this period.
In summer, jig fishing fades into the background.On hot days, the greatest results can be achieved using spinners, wobblers, spinnerbaits and more. Nevertheless, at great depths in rivers and lakes jig fishing remains relevant.
Осень, так же как и весна, является отличным period for jig fishing. At this time of year, the predator begins to sink into the depths and actively feeds in order to gain weight for the winter. As winter approaches, the efficiency of jig fishing is increasing.
