<\/span><\/p>\nNowadays there is a very fashionable and the most appropriate word for this situation – trends. So? All trends in trout fishing are set by our friends from the Land of the Rising Sun. Who, but the Japanese, knows how to catch a trout? It was the Japanese who once invented the bottom fishing technique. Its main feature is that it is used only when the trout is in the lower horizon and feeds near the bottom. Under the bottom fishing methods have been specially developed baits that have their own specifics. You may ask, “what are these baits and why can’t ordinary baits be used for bottom fishing methods?” and here’s the thing. Bottom baits imply the use only in the lower horizons, as a rule, they are “micro-jiggles” of a specific shape, equipped in a special way.<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\nLet’s talk first about the shape of such a troll. Most “microcolebalki”, honed for bottom animation, the body has a wide profile and bent upward side edges. This is done specifically so that at the moment of falling the lure beautifully “crumbled”, which is the first attractive factor for trout.<\/p>\n
Second, since such lures need to be placed on the bottom, a wide profile with curved upward edges will best cope with the task. Third, the bottom trollers use a special equipment called “front hook” – this is when the hook lies on the backing and is fixed not from the bottom of the trollers, as we are all used to see in classic trollers, but from above.<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\nWith the help of such a connection it turns out to realize most of the nibbles. This variant of mounting is so effective that it is forbidden to use it in competitions. Currently, there are not so many firms that specialize in the production of such tacks. So, for example, a specialty is the firm Nories with its phenomenal Masukoroto Boon. Believe only, this bait in Japan was set a record for the number of pond trout caught! The company’s expert managed to catch 570 trout in just one day! That’s an unbelievable figure. And it’s no wonder that Masukoroto Boon works wonders for our trout as well. And now we go directly to the ways of animation of such bait.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Ways of animation<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n<\/span><\/p>\nAt first I want to give a small disklamer: our brother-fisherman, who is accustomed to sharply yank baits and twitch, unzoom shoulder swing arm, it will be a little unusual to animate the troller in this way. If in summer or fall, we can somewhere tweeze, somewhere jerk “micro-coiler”, and the trout will react perfectly, but now, in winter time, such tricks will not help. The main “trick” in the bottom animation is a smooth drop-off. This is somewhat similar to fishing with a mormyshka. Imagine that you catch roach in the lower horizon, periodically touching the bottom with a mormyshlka, and perform a smooth unhurried wiring, and now project this situation to our conditions: spinning is a winter rod, and the mormyshlka – our trollers. Figure of animation will look like this: throw, let the bait fall, when the bait touched the bottom, do not hurry to perform the wiring, then load the tip of the spinning rod and smoothly lift the top up, having exhausted the slack. Uncontrolled fall of the lure should not be, so the tip of the spinning guide the troller. At this point, the “micro-coiler” begins to “fall off”, and control allows you to make a hook-up. Very often in trout fishing it happens that when an uncontrolled fall is performed, the fish sits down, but we do not feel it. This is the reason why you need to control the tension of the fishing line.<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\nThe very pattern of the game of the troll can be changed by varying the jerk or the speed of winding. If the trout has started to show activity, then the wiring can be done a little faster, but at the head of the angle will still be smooth tosses. I have a universal method of animation, which works in 8 out of 10 cases, and it looks like this: I throw the bait in a promising place, let it fall and pause – everything is standard here. Next, I wind out the sag, raise the tip of the spinning up and tip make a smooth short pull, then let the bait fall, make a long pull, then again long and then a pause. It is very important to understand at what moment the lure touches the bottom, and a second before touching the bottom you need to make another pull. As a rule, nibbles occur to a greater extent on the pause. The very movement on the pull attracts trout, and during the pause it attacks. But this is not the last method of animation, which I use.<\/p>\n
The next method is a little more complicated, because it requires a clear understanding of when the bait should touch the bottom. Let’s skip the standard stage of throwing and pause, and go directly to the wiring itself. Its essence is in short smooth pulls, alternating with two or three revolutions of the coil. We make two tosses, wait for a pause, then two turns of the coil, pause and again repeat the pattern of the game.<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\nQuite often “konopataya” is not at the bottom, and above it centimeters in ten to fifteen, and then there is no sense in the fall of the bait directly to the bottom. Most often this happens with the launching trout, which after a short activity immediately sinks into the horizon. This is the kind of fish that can be caught with a more active method without dropping the bait to the bottom.<\/p>\n
In addition to spinnerbaits, which are ideal for bottom fishing methods, there are also lures made of soft plastic, which are also good for catching passive trout in icy water. But it is not enough to have a good trout “rubber band”, you need to present it to the trout in a special way, using a suitable in these conditions mounting, which we will now talk about.<\/p>\n
