Как да изберем поплавък за типа въдица?

Long gone are the days when it was customary to watch pensioners and children on the city pond with a bamboo rod in their hands and a float made of a goose feather. The passerby who is not familiar with fishing is more and more often surprised to see people sitting on the river bank on special platforms with umbrellas, sometimes with 13-meter rods, buckets, basins and a lot of incomprehensible accessories. Is it all so necessary just to fish and enjoy being one with nature?

For me it is a rhetorical question. After all, you can drive a domestic automobile… It also drives. Everyone determines for himself the zone of comfort and pleasure, including fishing. No, you can still sit comfortably on a bucket with “bamboo”, watching the float made of cork. But, believe me, it is much more pleasant, holding in your hands a light rod weighing 100-200 grams, to admire a modern float. And what should be a modern float on a fishing rod? And in general, what qualities should have a modern float for fishing? I would like to try to give answers to these questions on the example of products by Cralusso.

So, let’s emphasize the main purposes or categories of application for Cralusso floats:

• For fly rods.

• For bologna rods.

• For match rods.

• For plug rods.

Fly rods

Fly fishing with fly rods is one of the most accessible and simple. Deaf rigging allows you to fish strictly in the baited point and, as a rule, at short distances. The length of fly rods reaches 9 meters. Therefore, it is a mistaken opinion that “fly” catches only small fish at a pace. Often, in the presence of sufficient depth trophies “mahalshchikov” are quite weighty individuals. But also with 3, 4-meter rods and light equipment you will get unforgettable sensations from the process. Floats cralusso for fly rods are famous for the variety of shapes and, importantly, the presence of colorful replaceable antennas of durable hollow plastic in the kit. The body of the floats is mainly made of balsa and fiber glass.

The Cralusso series of floats for fly rods are characterized by their versatility for both standing water and water bodies with a slight current. The keel of floats is made of fiber glass or metal. A wide range will always allow you to choose the float of the necessary load capacity. And having prepared a couple of different jigs in reserve, you will always be ready for different fishing conditions in an unfamiliar place. Some models of floats allow you to use fireflies for night fishing. For this type of fishing it is worth selecting floats from the series:

Bologna rods

Fishing with a bologna rod is exciting, but not as easy as fly fishing. And it requires more preparation. Fishing on the current obliges the angler not only to prepare the bait properly, so that it is not simply carried away by the current, but also to choose the right float, so that the equipment moves at the right speed, attractive to fish.

Many Cralusso floats listed above for fly rods can easily be used for bologna fishing, sending the equipment to free floating on the current. However, the company also has specialized floats for this type of fishing and clear control of the rigging. First of all, these are Cralusso Bolo and Cralusso Surf series. The design of these models with skillful handling allows the angler to direct the equipment along a precisely defined trajectory. Keeping the line in tension, the float will move slower than the force of the current and will not be carried to the shore. However, this float will not allow the rig to float freely. Only a rigid “hold” on the tensioned fishing line will provide the desired result. The float is equipped with 2 antenna holders for fishing from the left or right bank. 5 antennas, of which 3 flat and 2 round, different colors. That makes it possible to pick up for different times of day and visibility of the optimum. Also in the kit you will find a camcorder for attachment and instructions for use. Agree, a small thing, but nice.

Match rods

Catching with match rods is no less exciting than the previous 2 methods. But requires from the fisherman good vision, as it is conducted at a distance of up to 40 meters from the shore. Personally for me, this type of fishing is also interesting because the baiting, as a rule, is made with a slingshot. And who among us does not like to shoot? And what pleasure you get from the fact that you release a ball of bait at a distance equal to a 9-storey house, exactly in the target. But what qualities should a float have for fishing at such distances?

First of all, it should be a highly visible float, able to bring your equipment to a given area of the reservoir with the relief you are interested in. Whether it is a bank, a shell or a pit. I don’t know which company was the first to produce floats of the “waggler” type, but, as far as I am concerned, Cralusso’s floats are perfect and, importantly, durable. It often happens that after a couple of fishing trips floats start to “drink water” and it becomes problematic to unload them. Here everything is on the level. The main load of the waggler is located directly on the float itself. And the adjustment of the whole equipment is done by adding/removing washers. By placing a small olive and a backing rod we achieve the perfect balance of the tackle. This method of shipment allows you to easily achieve excellent flight characteristics of the equipment as a whole. The presence of multi-colored antennas and extensions makes it possible to observe the float from a great distance. Match fishing enthusiasts should pay attention to the following series of floats:

Rope rods

Fans of plug fishing will appreciate Cralusso floats. Although people who catch in this way, amateurs are hard to call. As far as I’m concerned, the plug is the highest stage of float art. Often in the platform of a pluggerist is up to 200- hundred snap, as they say, for all occasions. And sometimes the fisherman complains that the necessary one was not there. The possession of plug tackle allows you to use the thinnest lines and jigs, floats with load capacity in tenths of grams. Floats for plug fishing use the same as for fly fishing and bologna fishing rods. For standing water and cautious fish often use floats weighing 0.5 grams and less. This is the advantage of the plug tackle – the ability to get the ultra-lightweight equipment to a given distance. For fishing on the current use floats from the series:

The variety of flat floats for plug fishing allows you to catch almost on any current until the full stop of the equipment in the baiting point, to carry out wiring on a precisely chosen trajectory and always be with the catch.

Whatever way and method of fishing with float tackle you choose, among the variety of Cralusso floats you will always find the right one. High-quality manufacturing and relatively low price will surely make you fill your tackle boxes with Cralusso floats.

Заключение

So, let’s summarize briefly the main ideas of the article:

1. Series of floats from the brand Cralusso that are designed for fly rods, have a universal orientation, that is, suitable for standing and flowing water bodies.

2. First of all, bologna series are designed for the current. Such models of floats help to accurately guide the equipment along a given trajectory (so that it is less carried to the shore). The set, as a rule, includes antenna holders for fishing from the right and left bank.

3. For match rods are used so-called wagglers. Their purpose is long-distance throwing. They are noticeable, able to bring the equipment to a remote fishing point. The difference between floats is that they already have their own load of removable washers.

4. Advanced fishermen can choose plug rods. For a weak, quite imperceptible current can fit and floats weighing less than 0.5 grams. And some special “plug” series of Cralusso floats can be used on almost any current.
