Vrteči se trolerji: kot nalašč za začetnike

Spinning blades are one of the most catching, and, accordingly, and the most popular spinning lures. It is no coincidence that many anglers began to master the basics of spinning fishing with them. Fishing for spinning blades involves catching almost any predatory fish, and with a skillful approach – not only predatory. But let’s talk about everything in order. Probably there is no need to dismantle the rotating troll on the components and explain what it consists of. Much more useful will talk about what there are spinners and for what conditions of fishing.

The shape of the petal of the troller

The modern assortment on the market of fishing products of spinners is huge. Exactly like the number of firms and brands that represent such blades. The trouble is that each firm has its own individual name of baits, despite the fact that in its basis, say, in the shape of the petal, they are very similar. Which spinning lures are the best, each angler decides for himself. Remember the name of each spinner even one manufacturer is very difficult. Therefore, I propose to take as a basis spinners known and well-proven French company Mepps and not all, but most of the blades in groups. So what in the first place to pay attention to? Of course, on the petal, or rather on its shape. In this case, the size of the petal is no less important. Often plays not the last role and the weight of the blades themselves. So that to single out any one component as the main will be definitely wrong. When choosing a troll should pay attention to all these things. And it is also good to understand in advance, in what conditions we plan to use this bait.

As a rule, for catching fish on the current, lures with a narrow, runny in shape petal come into work. Blades with such a shape of the petal called differently, some are Willow Leaf (willow leaf), others Long (long). In the case of Mepps trollers – Aglia Long. The stronger the current on the river, the more pronounced the petal of our trollers should be. Otherwise, the wide petal simply will not be able to start and turn on, as the current will simply press it to the axis. And vice versa, the weaker the current, the wider the petal of our trollers should be. But this is all called the average scheme of selection of rotating bait for specific fishing conditions. In fact, there are a lot of nuances, tricks or exceptions to the rules. What do I mean? Yes, if we catch on the river with the current and the bait is wired against the current, then there is simply no alternative to the shape of the petal, we use Aglia Long. Also Aglia Long can be used during drift fishing, i.e. when throwing the lure across the current. However, in such cases, you can use spinners with a wider petal. Such blades are called Comet orin some cases, when the petals are black in color – Black Fury. By increasing the width of the petal, we can during the conductor as much as possible, as far as possible, to slow down the passage of blades. And in some cases for a moment to stop the bait. It is also easier to knock down the rotator with a wide petal with the game, all these techniques provoke the fish to attack.

There is another approach, when we are fishing on the current apply spinners with the widest possible shape of the petal. There are no contradictions here, as it may seem at first glance. The use of a troll with a wide petal, and at Mepps they have the name Aglia, on the current is appropriate in the case when our fishing is conducted with throwing the bait upstream, and wiring is carried out along the current. It is in such cases a rotating lure with a wide petal is necessary. Or such blades are relevant when fishing in standing water bodies. Spinner baits with wide petals are available from other manufacturers. But since you and I agreed to refer to the French company Mepps as an example, then I will say that in the catalog there is another interesting model suitable for fishing along the stream or in standing water, it is called Bug. This is not the only spinning rod suitable for the specified fishing conditions. No less interesting in my opinion is the Lusox, it has an interchangeable and removable front weight, which allows you to use it on the current to cover the bottom layers. At the same time, removing the front load or maximally lightening it, you can use it for catching predators in shallow water in standing water bodies.

Many rotating blades are not distinguished by their long-range performance. By and large, when we catch on small or medium-sized rivers or small ponds, we do not need a long throw. But what about when we fish on “big” water? Many manufacturers have solved this problem by producing lures with a weighted core, such as Aglia Long Cast or Aglia Long Heavy. And now we can not only penetrate and thoroughly fish the distant brow or cast to a timid gutter, but also, if desired, fish the lower horizons of the reservoir.

The size of the petal and the weight of the troller

The choice of spinning blades is not limited only by the shape of the petal. As a rule, we pay attention to its size. And here the choice of the size of the petal to a greater extent should correspond to the dimensions of the proposed trophy. And to make it easier for the fisherman to navigate in the choice of blades, the company Mepps numbered their spinners, assigning each its own number, starting from # 00 and further upward. You can see some models as high as the seventh number. Further, as we have already said, spinners can be with front loading or with a weighted core. In addition, you can pick up lures with a lightweight core or with different shapes and sizes. And the petals themselves can be installed or directly on the axis of the lure or, as is done in most cases, put on the axis of the troller through a special shackle.

Kljuke

Also, the blades can be equipped either with simple trebles, or treble hooks with plumage. In some cases, for example, during trout fishing, reels can be equipped with single hooks or single hooks with plumage. And the hooks can be both with a stinger, and bezborodniki. Of course, these are not all existing variants of spinners. There are blades made in the form of unhooked with an odinarnik. Equipped with a silicone twister or so-called “tandems”, two petals on the axis of the bait. In addition, in the range of manufacturers can be seen and a huge number of spinners with petals of different colors and shades, which also expands the range of their application. And for us, anglers, respectively, expands the choice.

Material quality

Another detail that should be paid attention to before you buy this or that spinning trolley is the quality of the material from which the trolley is made. Well, for example, the stiffness or elasticity of the axial wire. If it is not elastic enough, then after the first bite, the axle will bend, and the troller will stop working. Or the quality of the bead, which is located under the wishbone with a petal. And by and large, all components of the rotating bait are equally important here. Turn out to be at least one part of poor quality, and it will be difficult to achieve a stable game petal. Of course, having quality parts, it is necessary and the appropriate assembly of the troll. Knowing all these nuances and having such a limitless number of proposed models of spinners, each spinningist will be able to pick up a troller if desired, not only for catching different fish, but also for almost any fishing conditions.

Zaključek

As a conclusion to the article, we will summarize:

“Spinners” or spinning blades are chosen according to the following parameters.

1. The shape of the petal.

• narrow, runny – for fishing on the current.
• Wide geometry – calm, non-current bodies of water.

Exceptions:

wide petal, as in the Aglia series from Mepps, may be suitable if the bait will be thrown upstream, and the wiring is done in the direction of the stream

• For long distance casts, use models with a weighted core (e.g. Aglia Long Cast).

2. Petal size and weight of the lure.

3. Hooks

• Hooks are chosen according to the conditions of fishing and the intended prey. For example, in overgrown areas need unhooked hooks. When hunting trout are more often used beardless single hooks.

4. Quality of material and assembly.
