What is mormyshing
Mormyshing is usually understood as fishing with ultralight jig lures with a total weight of less than 1 gram. Lures can be both classic – mormyshki, and composite. The style of spinning fishing for mormyshing has many names and varieties: nanojig, softjig and others. Mormyshing is a generalized and most common name.
A bit of history
Mormyshing is probably the youngest type of spinning fishing. It is believed that fishing with ultralight lures originated from sport. For the first time representatives of Ukrainian fishing sport began to catch with such lures on super thin lines and won over their rivals, as they say, with a clear advantage. A little later, a separate direction created spinning from Yekaterinburg. Strong school of mormospinning in the city of Omsk. But, probably, in every corner of the fishing world were spinningists who independently came to the realization that on the delicate tackle and the catch, and the pleasure of fishing is greatly improved, and used it in their practice.
For what is needed
Many anglers have proven by experience that it is on the weights of baits less than 1 gram, the number of nibbles and fish catches increases significantly. Small and ultra-light bait resembles natural food and is taken without any fear. The formula “the lower the weight of the bait, the greater the number of fish” works almost without fail. That’s why advanced mormospinningists most often use bait weights of 0.5 grams and less.
Terrific catchability mormyshing enjoy fishermen – athletes practicing the discipline of “spinning from the shore”. In many competitions of this format, where the object of fishing is not trout, but perch, the absolute majority of participants catch spinning on mormyshing.
Mormyshing significantly expands the species composition of spinning trophies. Absolutely not predatory fish, such as elets, roach, crucian carp, mayfly, etc. becomes not a random by-catch, and the object of purposeful fishing. Very often it is the opportunity to catch “peaceful” fish on spinning attracts new fans.
Mormyshing – an excellent option for those who do not have the opportunity to travel to distant fishing Eldorado, and gives your favorite hobby an hour or two at the nearest pond or river. It is on such reservoirs, where it seems that there is no fish, thanks to mormyshingu fisherman has the opportunity to feel the joy of nibbling, fishing and catching fish.
They are engaged in “aesthetes” from ultralight fishing, fond of fishing for the sake of thrills. Catching an ordinary bass weighing 150 grams on a super-thin tackle is comparable to catching a pike.
Mormospinningists are often reproached that they catch only small fish. But such a reproach is absolutely not justified. Perch-gorbachi bite on mormyshka no worse (if not better) than on other jig baits. Just very often adepts of spinning mormyshka manage to catch something where others do not see a nibble. And this “something” is often a smallmouth bass.

Fishing rod
For this type of fishing most often used rods for catching pond trout with a test on baits up to a maximum of 4 grams. As a rule, the line is slow. The tip of the rod, depending on personal preferences and wiring options, can be both solid and tubular. The main task of mormospinning – to get an ultralight bait to the fish. Here it is necessary to understand that the usual throw of a mormouse rarely exceeds 10-12 meters. The second task is the animation of the bait, due to the oscillations of the rod to create the so-called mormodrozhi or nanojig wiring. Over the past few years in the market of fishing goods range of rods suitable for mormyshing, has expanded significantly and the choice now, what is called, for every taste and purse.
Reel
The requirements for the reel are as follows:
– Weight. The weight of the reel should not exceed 200-210 grams. Otherwise, in combination with a light rod, the overall balance of the tackle will be disturbed, which will affect the quality and convenience of wiring and will cause discomfort when fishing.
– Laying the fishing line. You need to pay special attention to this. Not all reels cope with the laying of thin fishing lines and cords on the spool.
– Gear ratio. It should not be high. Fast wiring in mormospinning is not used, respectively, speed reels are not used.
– Friction brake. Catching super light tackle does not mean catching super small fish, trophies on spinning mormyshka sit down often enough. And in order to feel the joy of catching and not the bitterness of disappointment from the breakage of the tackle, the friction brake on the reel must be working, reliable and smoothly adjustable.
Fortunately, as with fishing rods, a selection of inexpensive reels of acceptable quality are now available on the market.
Fishing line
For spinning fishing for mormyshka, both monofilament and braided cord are used. Their main feature is that they must be very thin. Cords according to the Japanese classification of 0.2 PE are quite expensive and it is unlikely that a beginner taking his first steps should pay attention to them. Quite sufficient initial choice will be a quality monofilament fishing line with a diameter of 0.1 to 0.12mm. Many spinning anglers are initially not ready for the use of such thin threads in spinning fishing and put lines of larger diameter. As a rule, this leads not to catching trophies, but to a decrease in the already not very long throwing range.
Beten
There are many variants of baits on the hook of a mormyshka. Artificial moth and opary, worms and microtwisters. Seeing the growing popularity of mormyshing, many manufacturing companies began to produce baits in the “mormyshing” size (1 – 1.5 inches). In addition, you can make a slice of served its age silicone baits.

It is important that mormyshing is a relatively budget-friendly fishing discipline. Of course, you will have to spend initially on the purchase of a specialized rod and reel, but these costs are not even close to comparable with those that fall to the share of fans, for example, fishing for wobblers. Especially since you can use not cord, but monofilament fishing line, do not buy silicone baits, and make a cut from the out of service. And many people make mormyshki themselves, this process is nothing complicated.
