Bottom Jigs: welche Art und warum

In one of our WIKI review articles, we talked about what there are carp jigs, namely hair jigs. In this material we will focus on the variants of montages that are used for bottom fishing not only carp or carp, but also bream, roach, roach, roach, taran, crucian carp, tench and many other fish. Sometimes even conditional and real predators are hunted in this way: trout, pike and pikeperch. It should be noted that the recommendations for the application of this or that installation – approximate. A lot depends on the sensuality and habit of the fisherman himself.

1. The pike (for summer fishing).

This snap for bottom fishing was once widespread everywhere and can be considered a classic. Its peculiarity is the presence of a pike (or two), made of wire. To the edges are attached leashes with hooks. The lengths of the segments should be carefully calculated to avoid overlaps.

Use such an installation in calm and flowing water bodies, where the current is not very strong.

From the “+”:

• several hooks = several variants of bait. Thus, you can identify the preferences of fish;
• if you use foam balls on the hook -, you can raise the tackle above the muddy bottom;
• properly assembled assembly assumes some mobility of the structure. Fish at the first stage of the nibble feels the resistance of the tackle not immediately, which gives time for hooking.

From the “-“:

• “Kingfisher” is spinning – this increases the risk of entanglement. The more moving elements, no matter how precisely the lengths and proportions are calibrated, the greater the likelihood of snags and overlaps.
• Some skill will be required to cast and use.

2. Symmetrical loop.

Bottom jigs of this type are applicable in calm water areas and places with a weak current. The surface of the bottom can be solid, or covered with not very sinking silt.

From the “+”:

• Symmetrical design allows with high speed to transmit a signal about the nibble. Due to the high sensitivity, such a bottom rigging is suitable for crucian carp, which often bites very cautiously.

In general, the assembly is good to use for medium and not very large fish in periods of activity.

From the “-“:

Fish: crucian carp, roach, roach, roach, white amur, tench

3. Unsymmetrical loop.

A mounting option that is applicable for running water bodies with a hard bottom. Due to the lateral branching of the hook, has a low tendency to tangle. Suitable for fishing long distances.

From the “+”:

• Convenience in throwing.
• Suitable for bad weather. The bait and feeder lie on the bottom, regardless of the vibrations of the rod. For example, when the rain hits the quivertip or is affected by gusts of wind. “Forgives” such a mounting and mistakes of a beginner, who too often touches the blank.
• Convenience for hooking. The mounting is sensitive enough for the angler to be able to notice the bite of the fish in time, that is, the movement of the quivertip.

Fish: carp and carp, tench, crucian carp, bream, white amur, gouster.

4. Paternoster

Roughly speaking, is two loops that are knitted directly on the end of the main cord(fishing line). In this case, the leash with a nozzle is attached to the edge, in the second – the feeder. Suitable snap for calm and flowing water bodies, including those with muddy bottom.

From the “+”:

• Not so much prone to tangling in the water and when throwing.
• A minimum of extraneous objects in the installation, so as not to scare off cautious fish.

From the “-“:

Fish: crucian carp, roach, roach, tench, vobla.

5. Helicopter and two knots.

Simple but effective equipment, which allows you to catch in flowing water bodies with a hard bottom even predatory fish.

From the “+”:

Fish: roach, gouster, mayfly, and bream, tekhon, bleak, vobla, trout, zander, pike.

6. Sliding Rig (specifically, the Running Feeder Rig)

The only type of rigging that is currently allowed in sporting events. When the tackle breaks, the fish is left with only the hook, while the weighty feeder continues to lie on the bottom. Thus, a careful attitude to the trophy is ensured, the fish suffers minimal damage. There are variants with a branch and without. Knitted directly on the main monofilament or braided fishing line. Suitable for hunting low-active, capricious fish even in difficult conditions.

From the “+”:

• minimal (compared to other montages) traumatization for bitten prey;
• very good sensitivity.

From “-“:
