Among Russian fishermen, especially those whodoes not live in big cities, few have heard that the pike is a Croatian egg bait. But the experienced catchers of this predator know that the spinningist from Zagreb is the author and performer of the idea of this tackle. In Russia, it appeared at the beginning of 2007 and immediately became the focus of attention.
Unfortunately, on the shelves to find"Croatian eggs" is not very easy, although they are ranked as relevant baits. This type of bait differs from others in its open hook. Actually, this is the secret of the fact that it does not cling, representing something like a doll: always hook up. Yes, and in its range it surpasses its counterparts: it flies accurately and far. Nevertheless, the main advantage of this bait on a pike is its permeability, especially in conditions of overgrown grass or duck water.
Croatian eggs look like they are made fromvarious materials and bright oval elements floating on the surface with a large crochet hook and a built-in weight, which always gives the bait a certain position in the water - hook up to completely eliminate hooks.
Разница между этой приманкой и ее аналогом - Popper - is that the latter works perfectly in conditions when the reservoir is free from vegetation, including from high grass, rising almost to the very top. However, otherwise, only fishing on a Croat would be effective.
And since spinningists mostly catch pike in shallow waters and overgrown with duckweed or other green bays, one can guess why this lure does not linger on the shelves.
Catching a "Croatian egg" suggests strongjerks, monotonous or accelerated wiring, pauses, etc. The advantage of this bait is that even with only two centimeters of "clean" water and lily plantations fishing will be very productive.
Yes and bite is a very interestingprocess: pike, catching up with the "Croatian egg", rushes at him, and everything happens almost on the surface, so the angler, watching this spectacle, knows what needs to be done in the next minute. The greatest effect with this bait is, as a rule, wiring at medium or slightly greater speed, as well as short light jerks.
And since the hooks, equipped in the "Croatian eggs", have only the upper direction, the predator catches quickly and very reliably, with virtually no gathering.
Since buying this bait today is wrongeasily, many prefer to make it yourself. The material for it, as a rule, becomes a cork from wine or champagne, honed on a grinding machine to obtain an oval shape. For the crochet hook, knitting wire is used, which is inserted into the cut on the egg and secured with waterproof glue.
Many anglers know that in the arsenal of an amateurcatching toothy predators - pikes - must have “Croatian eggs”, at least one, since this particular bait is useful in overgrown reservoirs or in areas where it is impossible to catch popper.
