Balanciers pour perche

For fans of active bass fishing in winter, it is necessary to know how to choose a balancer for this striped predator.

It makes sense to start with what is a balancer in general? It is a copy of a small fish, made mainly of lead. Now in the production of balancers began to apply types of heavy plastic. To date, the choice of balancers is quite diverse – shape, color, size, weight.

Shape of the balancer

There are only two basic forms of the balancer. There is a large number of options, but somehow modify them from these 2 types.

1. Balancers with stabilizers – fast lures with a light stroke. At the moment are the most common in our reservoirs.
2. Balancers with tail plumage have a more delicate game and are able to make a small vibration at a slower speed of movement. This type of balancer has proven itself in the deaf winter with a sluggish bite of the predator.

So, to summarize: the form should be chosen based on the activity of the intended prey and the season of fishing: 1- fish is active, 2 – the fish is more passive.

Size of the balancer for perch

The most important criterion for choosing a balancer is its size. It is from the size depends on whether you catch our striped robbers or leave with nothing. In the classic, international numbering by “Rapala” size balancer starts from one centimeter and ends with twelve.

If you plan to catch sport bass up to 100 grams, then you will fit balancers up to three centimeters. And if you plan to take a trophy sailor, then it is worth choosing a balancer with a length of seven centimeters. Another feature – it makes no sense to take a balancer longer than eight centimeters, for even a large perch does not feed on fish of large sizes.

To summarize. The universal size of the balancer for catching perch is a length of 3-6 centimeters. It is these dimensions should be adhered to, in order to catch the maximum number of perch.

Weight of the balancer

The weight of the balancer is important when fishing in deep water areas of the reservoir. An approximate table of the correlation between weight and depth is presented below:

Incorrect weight selection may result in no bites at all. A balancer that is too light will not sink to the desired depth, and a balancer that is too heavy will sink too quickly and scare off the predator.

Color of the bass balancer

The color of the balancer is as important a factor as the size. It is difficult to give definite advice in the selection of color. The parameter is purely individual, and depends on the time of fishing, and the weather, and the depth, and the activity of the predator.

A few thesis factors on the choice of color balancer:

• Perch, like pike, cannibal. Never mind to eat the young of his species. Therefore, you should give preference to a balancer with a tiger color (like the perch itself);
• Also well suited and natural color, for example, roach, chebak, magpie, gudgeon – the forage base of the perch;
• It is also worth not forgetting about bright coloring, on certain days they can make the result very good.

Proper tactics for catching perch on the balancer

Catching a balancer involves active movement on the reservoir in search of the desired object of catching. Remember – perch fish gregarious, if your first hole is not nibbling, do not hurry to change the balancer. It may turn out that the fish is further away. Drill holes should be at a distance of at least 5 meters apart. Closer simply does not make sense, as the balancer with its game covers a distance of about 3 meters.

Also do not forget about the thickness of the fishing line, so as not to leave your balancer on the bottom of the reservoir. The most common diameter is 0.18 – 0.25.

The fishing rod for catching balancer should be light and sensitive.

Firms – manufacturers of balancers

To date, there are a huge number of firms – manufacturers of balancers. We will talk about the most popular.

• Rapala is a Finnish company founded in 1936. Balancers of this company have found the greatest prevalence on our reservoirs in winter. The most popular balancer is”Rapala Jigging Rap”. Its working colors are SSD, FP, BYR, P, GT.
• Lucky John – the company just like Rapala has gained a lot of respect among our fishermen. In my opinion, the best balancer from this company is Classic, the most working colors were 13N and 15N
• Strike Pro – this Taiwanese company produces quite working balancers. Dolphin Ice and Micro Ice showed themselves best in my arsenal.

As you have realized, there are a lot of balancers for catching bass. Therefore, it is quite difficult to choose such a lure. There are no universal balancers that would work for everyone. There are only some statistics of working baits.

Conclusion

Let’s make a brief conclusion to the article.

• For active, hungry perch apply models of balancers with stabilizers.
• For no-catch in deaf winter – you can use modifications with plumage.
• The most universal range of sizes – approximately 3 – 6 cm.
• Possible colors: tiger, natural, acid-bright.
• Recommended distance between holes – at least 5 meters.
