Chytanie yazya na spinningu. Prvá časť

Yazi inhabits many rivers in our country, especially in its northern latitudes, but here is a purposeful catch it on spinning is not everyone, and most often this type of predator is caught accidentally, when catching pike and perch. To tell the truth, I myself until now believed that to catch a purposeful yazya – it is, simply put, a useless waste of time in fishing, and believed that only luck should accompany his capture, that is, the angler needs to be in the right place at the right time. In fact, the yazya, as well as any other predatory fish, to catch purposefully on spinning can be very successful, the main thing is not to doubt that the yazya bites on artificial baits. And in this article I will just share my experience and observations that help me catch this predator. And in its first part, let’s determine the gear and baits. Immediately it should be clarified that we will talk about catching yazya exclusively on small rivers.

Spinning

Catching yazya is quite closely related to catching chub, because the habitat, diet and method of catching these two predators are very similar, tackle and baits will not be very different. Choosing a spinning for catching yazya, first of all, pay attention to the test on baits, here we will also include the power of spinning. Depending on the nature of the river, weak or strong prevailing current, clean or overgrown water body, the main tool spinningist need to choose correctly.

When choosing a spinning rod, first of all you need to think about the specifics of the river

Suppose a river with a weak current and rarely overgrown grass, then here the preferred spinning will be spinning ultralight and light classes with a test on baits, conditionally speaking, up to 10 grams. In most cases, such spinning rods perfectly animate baits on the bottom of the test, but on top of the test can be overloaded. The most important thing when choosing a spinning rod to pay attention to the bobbin, which should be quite powerful by the standards of light, because most of the load on catching fish, fall on this part of the rod. The opposite case. The reservoir is heavily overgrown coupled with a strong current, and yazya have to often vyvazhivayut not ceremoniously, and sometimes spinning more powerful class, such as medium-light, in this case will be preferable.

Consequently, before you choose a spinning rod, you should first of all take into account the specifics of the river, and if fishing is to be in difficult, overgrown conditions, you should not choose “delicate” rods, because they will be difficult to bring a kilogram yazya to the shore through a strong stream and overgrown grassy bank. In my fishing conditions, where sometimes it is often necessary to force out even with a spinning rod up to 18 grams, namely SLrods Rush 682 ML, I am not always sure that the yazi will not go to the nearest hiding place.

The ideal spinning rod for fishing for yazya combines a medium string and the right stiffness

The spinning line, as well as when fishing for chub, is best suited Regular-Fast, i.e. medium-fast. Why this line rather than fast? First of all, you often have to fish out jazzy on the current, and spinning rods closer to the slow string less “drain” fish, due to the fact that the blank of such a rod on the fishing rod works, as a rule, starting from the middle. Secondly, the types of baits, which catch both chub and yazya imply even wiring, and spinning rods of a slow line as best suited for such wiring. Third, a good range of throwing the bait, which is sometimes very important when catching cautious yazya. Do not assume that spinning rods closer to the slow string soft, or, speaking the language of spinningist, “noodle”. Do not forget about such a parameter as the stiffness of the blank, which in spinning, designed specifically for fishing on the current, is selected so that the rod correctly animated small baits and at catching did not bend in an arc. Therefore, the right combination of medium-fast line and sufficient stiffness of the blank – the key to choosing the right spinning rod. I consider it wrong to advise a certain model of spinning, but this does not prevent me from advising the correct type of spinning for fishing for yazya: Norstream Nibble, Forsage River Master, Zetrix Forra, Major Craft Finetail Stream, Norstream Ultra.

As for the length of the spinning rod, when fishing for yazya from the bank on the river, the width of which does not exceed 50 meters, the length of +/- 7 feet (213 cm) is enough for a long and accurate throw.

Non-inertial reel

It is easier to choose a reel, but it is under it you should choose a spinning rod

When choosing a reel, you should first of all pay attention to its size. The optimal size will be 2500 by Daiva or Shimano. For the last two years I have been catching yazya reel Daiwa Ninja LT size 3000-C, in fact, it is the same 2500 size, only with a spool of 3000 size. Size 2000 in power, in general, will also fit, but due to the smaller diameter of the spool, the departure of the bait will be less than the 2500 size, and when fishing for yazya the greater the distance of the angler to the proposed fish stand, the greater the chances of a bite. With the choice of inertia reel is much easier than with spinning, here the quality is directly proportional to its cost – the more expensive the reel, the higher its quality, so my principle is as follows – first choose a good reel, only then spinning, favor spinning suitable for the type of fishing yazya enough in different price categories.

Cord

For catching on small rivers I prefer to use four-strand cords

Braided cord is an important aspect when choosing a tackle. By the way, monofilament fishing line because of its stretching and lower breaking load in a comparable diameter that the cord, except in ultralight fishing I do not use. Monofil should be chosen when your spinning is closer to fast or ultra-fast, and the line due to its stretchability, roughly speaking, compensates for the “stubbiness” of the rod on the wiring and especially on the lure. When fishing for yazya on small rivers, I prefer to use 4-core cords for the only reason that such a cord better holds abrasion when in contact with grass than, for example, a cord with eight weaves. As in the case of spinning, to determine the thickness of braided cord, it is worth considering the specifics of the water body – if it is clean from natural obstacles, it is enough 0.6-0.8 PE cord, if not, and the amount of grass and other obstacles on the baiting is enough, as well as there is a strong current, then below the diameter of 0.8 on the Japanese qualification, I recommend the cord on the reel do not wind up, and better to reinsure and wind 1 PE.

Lures for yazya

1. Krenki

Wobblers krenk class, perhaps, the most popular and catching baits on the yazya. According to my observations, I can say that yazya often shows interest in such krenki, which have low-frequency, but sprawling game. An important role here plays and the sound of the wobbler – it should be not ringing and not loose, such as the classic version of Jackall Chubby, and more “deaf”, where the noise effects are responsible for loading in the form of one or two metal balls. A good example of such a crankbait is Golden Mean Hellion, by the way, an excellent bait for catching yazya, I have already mentioned it more than once. At the same time, the bait can be quiet, for example, the same Jackall Chubby 38, but with the prefix Silent (quiet), that is, do not have noise effects, and when catching a constantly wary jazz low-noise krenki often come out in the leaders in catchability among all other classes of baits. It is not necessary to have 2-3 dozens of crankbaits in the box, it is enough to have a couple of wobblers with different versions of depth (SRR, SR, MR), so that on each section of . river, whether it is a shallow roll or a deep hole, always have a suitable bait at the ready. In terms of size I prefer the classic, “chub” sizes – 35 – 45 (mm), often good results show and larger crankbaits, such as such as Lucky Craft Clutch and Jackall Cherry Zero Footer. You can also highlight the following crankbaits for catching yazya: Fishycat Icat, Strike Pro Cranky-X 40, Smith Camion Magnum.

Most often shows interest in wobblers with a high frequency of vibrations

2. Minnow and Sheads

Small wobblers of minnow and shead class with length of 40-50 (mm), as well as when catching chub, come to the forefront and show good results when fish activity is low due to cold water, and crankbaits with active, high-frequency game do not work. When fishing for yazya wobblers can be divided into stream wobblers, that is, for fishing in the current, and classic for calm water. Stream wobblers(Megabass Great Hunting 50FS, Jackall Timon Tricoroll 47S, DUO Spearhead Ryuki 50, Smith D Contact 50) due to their shape better hold the current, thus perfectly suited for catching yazya on the rolls and fast streams. For calm water with a weak current will suit classic minnows, which have proven themselves in bass fishing: Itumo Piccolino 40SP, Pontoon21 CrackJack 38, Zipbaits Rigge 43SP. As in the case with crankbaits, suitable coloring for minnows and sheads I choose based only on water clarity – in light water I prefer to catch wobblers dark and natural colors, in turbid – bright, such as such as “mat tiger” or matte yellow. Yazya, based on my experience of catching, is not as important coloring, as the visibility of the bait and its character of the game depending on the activity of the predator, so to catch this predator, you have to experiment with baits.

3. “Iron”

Oscillating and rotating blades – a timeless classic, which is not inferior in catching wobblers. It was on a troller about ten years ago I caught my first yazya on spinning, and as I remember now, it was a rotating troller Blue Fox Vibrax Shad first number. Rather it was a small bogey of 300 grams than a yazi, but nevertheless the bite on the stream was vicious with a characteristic for the yazi blow. On the ” reels” of the first and second number of yazya bites very willingly, and in the case of foot shore or rafting fishing this type of bait je . very good help. As in the case with wobblers, for catching yazya enough a couple of blades, the main thing when choosing them to pay attention to the petal – oval (“comet”) for calm water and oblong (long or “willow leaf”) for the current. My favorites among rotating blades: Pontoon21 Ball Concept, Mepps Aglia, Pontoon21 Trait. The oscillating blades are not inferior to the rotating ones. The main advantage of oscillating is their ability to coax on the bite of low-active yazya. On the current oscillating will give a head start to the most catching wobblers, the main thing is not to hurry with the wiring. When catching yazya I give preference to blades weighing from two to four grams. My favorites among fluctuating blades: Forest Miu, Golden Mean Symphonia Spoon, Mukai Clue.

Blades on catchability is not inferior to wobblers

4. Surface lures

Poppers, walkers, crawlers, floating silicone imitating insects – all these baits have one thing in common – wiring is carried out from the surface, and yaz, which, as a rule, in the morning and evening actively feeds on insects from the surface of the water, on the above types of baits in this period of time willingly bites. The size of baits should be small, about up to 5 (cm).

5. Soft baits

These are mostly micro jig baits, 1-2 inches in size. Although microjig and does not imply a targeted fishing only yazya, in the bycatch it is caught quite regularly. Of the baits I prioritize mainly imitations of crustaceans and larvae living in the reservoir, as well as various creatures, for which is characterized by dragging on the bottom. Not bad work and not large twisters with vibro-tails. Examples of such baits: Bait Breath Mosya, Fanatik Larva, Lucky John J.I.B Tail, Keitech Swing Impact.

Príslušenstvo

Replacement hooks are suitable for both tees and single hooks

When catching jazzy you will need small clasps of size #00 or #000, leashes 10-15 cm long, for example, from string, hooks for replacement. I use both trebles and single hooks with a beard. For storage of baits for the first time will be enough one spacious box, I strongly recommend Meiho Versus VS-3010NS, in which you can store both wobblers with blades, and soft baits.

The second part will be devoted directly to the tactics and process of catching yazya on spinning from the bank on a small river.
