Spinnerbaits on nii erinev

Despite the fact that spinnerbaits – lures are definitely not young among all others, not all spinning players use them, and many have not even held them in their hands. How does this happen, what is the secret of such neglect? Let’s try to deal with it.

Reasons for unpopularity

Most often the case here is about this: spinnerbait very bulky, well, or look like it. They will not put them in any box along with trollers or wobblers – you need a corresponding to their size. Externally, spinnerbaits look strange, they may seem unreliable in design. It seems that when catching a trophy fish, this wire hook will either fall apart, or will turn into a lump of its components when fishing. Once a long time ago and I thought about the same thing when I bought my first spinnerbait. But still curiosity then overpowered my skepticism, and I became the owner of an overseas zagugulina, thanks to which and on the motives of which I began to collect spinnerbait himself, gradually understanding their essence and comprehending their capabilities in practice.

My first spinnerbaits were exclusively pike lures for me. But gradually they began to divide into pike and pike and pike and perch, where the latter were simply more compact and therefore liked both toothy and striped predators.

The device of these baits is not particularly tricky. Their main petal is most often rotated with a swivel. The second petal (if any) works on the principle of a rotating trolley, rotating on the shackle (clamp). Sometimes there are designs with a large number of petals. Since the roots of the spinnerbait American, the petals on these lures are more often of the American type – “Colorado”, “Indiana”.

Pike spinnerbaits

And now let’s try to put a little order in the classification of spinnerbaits to simplify the understanding of which of them in which box to put.

Let’s start with pike. In this category we will determine the largest and weighty models. Approximately their dimensions in the length of the arm of the wire frame start from an inch. Cargo-heads of these models should be equipped with powerful and durable hooks, and the frame is made of thick elastic wire. Equipping petals and their number can be different. The rods for working with such baits are best suited from the series under the “iron”, after all, and spinnerbait for the most part, after all, it is still a trolley. Spinning rods for fishing with wobblers are also combined with spinnerbaits perfectly, especially when the structure of regular-fast.

Universal and trout spinnerbaits

Universal spinnerbaits. This type can still be called pike and perch. From pike such baits differ just a little less massgabaritami. That is, the length of the shoulder of their wire frame is shorter than an inch. These are probably the most versatile models. Such lures I almost always take with me, especially when visiting unknown bodies of water, where spinnerbaits can be quickly and not particularly afraid of snags to sweep the water area along and across.

Trout spinnerbaits. This type of bait is characterized by the most compact size and weight, usually within 4-6g. Miniature petals, very compact frames, everything is minimalistic and neat, as it should be in trout tackle. A distinctive feature of such models is usually their equipment with tees and the absence of silicone equipment, that is, unhooked properties of standard spinnerbaits are not needed here.

Spinnerbaits, unlike blades, are more massive and therefore more visible to predators. Their high passability among the grass and even snags makes them essentially lures-nezatseplyaykami, which is achieved by protecting the single hook in front of the wire frame (koromyslom), from above working petals, and on the sides of the silicone snap (skirt) its springy properties also adds protection from snags. In terms of passability among the grass, especially vertically standing stalks of various reeds, cattails and reeds, this type of bait is unrivaled. Given the noise and visibility of spinnerbaits, in such places for pike and perch is a very suitable option.

By the way, given the bass orientation of these baits, it is worth for our perch and pike on the part of spinnerbait replace their standard silicone equipment in the form of a shaggy “skirt” on a twister or wobbletail. Such a simple upgrade often leads to a significant increase in bites. Do not dwell on branded equipment, – it is better to experiment with silicone snap, changing different twisters, selecting the most catching options.

Trout spinnerbaits or, as they are also called, microspinnerbaits, are very catching baits, and not only in their direct direction. In our reservoirs, except directly trout, on them you can very successfully catch perch, sometimes chub, grayling, sometimes even spruce and redfin attack them. My smallest spinnerbait IMA Adelie, here on it I just caught all that listed above.

It is not necessary to fixate on branded equipment

Non-standard models

In addition to typical models of spinnerbait in the sale there are not quite standard variants of these baits. Do not be afraid of such things, they are also catchable, just arranged slightly differently. I have caught a variety of models, and among the not quite ordinary spinnerbaits can distinguish several models of very interesting and catching. For example, the model Yo-Zuri 3DB Knuckle Bait instead of a petal is equipped with a plastic ball with a 3D effect. In the water during wiring this ball, as they call it, “shakes” quite chaotically, from side to side, that quite attracts fish no worse than the petal. Or here – Yakima Bait X-rated Nugget from Hildebrandt is a spinnerbait, which wire frame has not one, but two upper arms, each of which rotates on a petal. In the water, they sometimes hit each other, which by design adds to the appeal.

Ways of wiring

Variants of wiring spinnerbait are not complicated at all. They can be conducted evenly at a chosen depth, you can exercise with step wiring, and you can drag short pulls with short as sharp stops – this option works best with the standard equipment bait silicone “skirt”, which at the time of a sharp stop swells like a jellyfish, then again folded and the bait moves on.

Some peculiarities in the work of spinnerbait are associated with their design. Most of these lures are equipped with an open loop for attaching the fishing line, which is associated with the American direction of catching largemouth bass, where the spinnerbait is tied to fluorocarbon, or monofilament fishing line directly. In this case, tightly tightened knot does not let the fishing line slip, but in our case, when using a metal anti-pike leash, without which the pike is unsafe to catch, at times when throwing the carabiner slips, jumping out of the nose fixing loop and thus disrupts the work of the lure.

A free area in the open nose loop of the spinnerbait head when directly attached to fluorocarbon or fishing line counteracts the slippage around the head when throwing. And if we close this free cutout of the nose loop any ring of wire or rubber band, then in our version with a leash carabiner can no longer slip, which is good, but then can sometimes occur slap leash around the head. In general, sometimes you will have to correct these intricate lures, but not more often than we do with wobblers, when they cling with their hooks to the blade or leash.

I would recommend experimenting more with their silicone jigs

In conclusion, I would like to wish everyone who has not yet acquired and tried in business spinnerbaits, be sure to correct it. They are really interesting and catching, these things are not boring to catch a variety of fish. For those who have already mastered spinnerbait, I would recommend more experiment with their silicone snap, changing which right on the fishing, you can pick up “keys” to the most finicky fish. Spinnerbaits can always quickly and easily attract the attention of different predators, these lures in my arsenal has long been equal among equals with trollers, wobblers and jigs.
