Fishing tackle

Spinning boat fishing for wobblers is very often associated with hooking the bait for various bottom obstacles, such as snags. Wobblers have always been not the cheapest baits and the loss of each hits the wallet hard. Therefore, fishermen have to deal with such unpleasant phenomena as snags. And it’s okay if our wobbler pokes with the nose blade into the bottom. In such cases it is enough to drive the boat above the place of snagging and after a few jerks with the rod you can save the wobbler. That is, in this case, we pull the bait in the opposite direction of wiring. And mostly, such actions help. And what to do if our bait bumped the nose spatula in not in the bottom of the pond, but in snags? And not a shovel, but one or even a few tees? In such a case, a special device will come to the rescue, which among fishermen is commonly called a fishing hook. Now on the market of fishing goods has become quite a lot of such proposals. So which of the hooks is better and how not to make a mistake with the choice? To do this, let’s try to consider some models of hooks.

It should be noted that such unhooks, as in the photo, are not very suitable for spinning, as their small size and weight are designed primarily to save mormyshki or blades during winter fishing from the ice. In spinning fishing such devices can save only snagged small rotating blades or small-sized wobblers, and then only in very rare cases.

To save spinning baits there are other hooks, for example, as in the picture below.

How to properly use the hook when fishing from a boat?

To begin with, let’s understand how to properly use such devices. First, we are talking about the use of unhooks during boat fishing. Secondly, for the best effect, that is, for guaranteed rescue of our bait from the clutches of scattered bottom snags, it is necessary to approach the boat or boat as close as possible to the place of snagging and anchor.

Ideally, our cord and the hooked bait create the correct vertical. After that, the hook is put on the cord and lowered directly to the hook point. When the fishing hitch rests on the bait and after some manipulation of the attachment hooks on one or more hooks of the treble or treble hooks, we simply pull out the bait.

Unhooks with a large carabiner and chains

Now back to the unhook itself. A large carabiner with several chains can be a good helper in cases when we are fishing for wobblers or jerkbaits. And here is where the attention is – in standing water and in shallow depths. Otherwise, when our bait clings to snags somewhere on the current, its rescue becomes very difficult, as the current will carry chains away from the hooks of the bait and the release of your favorite wobbler will turn into a very long time occupation with unpredictable results.

Unhooks – “octopuses”

It is quite another matter when we use other form of unhooks for wobblers, the so-called”octopus”. They have a cylindrical body instead of a carabiner. And instead of soft, moving chains there are metal cables, which are not carried away by the current away from the hooks. With cables it is easier to find a vacant hook of a wobbler or jerkbait and pull out the bait. Octopus octopus come in different sizes and weights, so each spinningist can pick up the most suitable detachment for himself. But octopus is not the same as octopus.

For example, the Vasilsurskaya Sloboda LLC hook can be considered an improved model. In particular, the attachment of the rope to the hook is not in the center, as in most octopuses, and slightly shifted towards the winding rings. That most correctly balances this device and significantly improves the process of capturing the ropes of the hooks of the hooked bait. The versatility of this device is such that we can successfully use it both in standing water and on the current, regardless of the depth at which the hook occurred. The hook also perfectly saves voluminous baits of almost any size, starting from small wobblers and ending with large jerkbaits. Accordingly, do not be afraid of its use with thin cords. And in conclusion, we can say that the use of these hooks will never give us a hundred percent guarantee in saving our baits, but still in most cases to do it manages.
