Trolling is what? Trolling. Spinning for trolling

To date, trolling is one of the most common methods of fishing. As practice shows, there is an erroneous opinion that trolling is a method of fishing, which you can master only having serious knowledge of fishing. That is why in today's article, special attention will be paid not only to the description of the method, but will also be told why it is suitable even for the beginner.

Basic concepts

Let's start with the description that trolling is a method of fishing, which is carried out on a boat equipped with a motor and towing a bait. The main difference between this style and the usual fishing is that it is focused only on catching predatory fish, usually pike.

It is necessary to distinguish a similar method, called a track. The difference from the above style is the lack of a boat engine.

Why him?

Recently, some fishermen with solid experience believe that trolling is an occupation for lazy and "green", as this method has practically no dynamics and excitement. But the one who at least once trolled the pike probably remembers this fierce battle with the predator, when it is not known until the very last second whether you will leave today with prey or stay with nothing. And what only there is a magnificent view, opening on the river, which plows your boat. The truth is said that it is better to try once than to hear several times. But we will continue and consider the main advantages of this method. They include:

1. Catch, which is several times greater than when fishing with spinning.
2. Use of large and heavy baits.
3. The ability to instantly switch to fishing with spinning.

Necessary equipment

If trolling is to be carried out, the following equipment will be required:

1. A boat. It is recommended to use a small (up to 4 m in length). It can be made of rubber, wood or metal. In principle, the material of the boat does not play a special role, the main thing is that it should be with the motor. Given the duration of fishing, it would be nice to have comfortable seats in it.
2. The outboard motor can be on gasoline or electric with a capacity of up to 15 liters. from.
3. Spinning for trolling.
4. Depth sounder. An optional but very practical tool that determines not only the depth, but also the bottom relief.

Choosing clothes

It's no secret that the cold, autumn time is ideal to start trolling on the river, since it is during this period that the catch can reach 10 kg or more. Therefore, it is wise to approach the preparation of equipment. His choice should be stopped on the clothes in which the bet is made primarily on the functionality and comfort. Clothes on fleece lining will not only be able to retain heat for a long time, but it is also very pleasant to the touch. Especially worth noting is the durability of the clothes on fleece, which is already appreciated by many fishermen. Of course, we should not forget about our own safety. Since fishing will occur on the river, it is mandatory to have a life jacket in the boat , or even better put it on yourself.

Depth

As a rule, a depth of less than 3 m is not considered particularly favorable for fishing, as here one can find mainly pike and small-sized prickets. At a depth of up to 6 m, the picture changes completely, because here predators are larger (from pike and pike perch to catfish). The depth of more than 8 meters is considered ideal to start trolling at the pike perch.

Spinning

Now, directly about fishing tackles. Spinning for trolling, as a rule, has a length of up to 2.7 m. The use of a device with a longer length is not recommended, since this method of fishing does not provide for casting into the distance. Therefore, it is recommended that the rods are not very long, since their dimensions directly affect the comfortable fishing.

As the statistics shows, the ideal for this method of fishing are the rods of fast construction or powerful casting. So, for example, the adaptation of the fast system creates not only an optimal condition, in which the slightest change in the movement of the bait is felt, but also allows you to make sharp cuts. A rod with a slow system, on the contrary, not only will not allow the above actions to be performed, but it can lead to offensive gatherings.

But the main thing is to remember that not always power and rigidity can lead to the desired result. In fishing everything should be harmonious. Accordingly, intending to do trolling, you need to take into account the weight of not only gear, but also the weight of possible mining. So, for example, if the maximum depth of fishing is not very large, then it will be easy and easy to tackle. If fishing is planned on a deep-water river, then here without any powerful gear anywhere.

Coil

Good trolling provides a powerful coil, as only it can withstand the various loads created by a fairly large fish. Specialists recommend the use of coils with recoilless brake, capable of instantly braked at the right time. It is especially worth noting that a not very expensive coil may not meet all the requirements, but it is also not worth buying one of the most expensive ones. The best option is to purchase a non-inertial one. Such a coil will serve its owner for at least 4 seasons with intensive exploitation.

Cord and fishing line

Fishing with trolling allows the use of both ordinary monofilament and woven cords. But most experienced fishermen still prefer braided cords. And in the first place their high strength plays a role here. Also, the advantages of woven cords include:

1. Zero extensibility, which not only creates ease of control, but also allows you to feel any, even the slightest change in the course of the bait's motion. Especially the difference of the braided cords from monofilament is felt at the cutting. Cords, unlike monofilament, will never stretch, thus creating an additional chance for the fish to unhook their jaws and fall off the hook.
2. High strength and durability.

The only thing that can be attributed to the minus is their high price and low protection from damage caused by the sharp teeth of the pike.

Bait

For trolling, all artificial baits used for spinning are ideal, which are now freely available. Not bad itself recently has shown catching on zhivtsa, and also with application of wobblers or rotating blosen.

Rotating spoons

Rotating blestes are those that:

1. Provide excellent interaction with the water surface.
2. Equipped with a wire with high strength and quality.
3. They have sharp and strong tees.

Important! In the process of fishing repeatedly make checks sharpness sharpening. And if you detect any defects, eliminate them using a diamond filter.

Wobblers

Wobblers are called artificial volumetric baits that create oscillations with the aid of a special depression or blade. To date, wobblers are represented by various shapes, sizes, designs and materials.

Wobblers are:

1. Floating. These wobblers are used only when catching fish in shallow water.
2. Diving. Their distinctive feature is the ability to dive to a depth of 7 m.
3. Sinking. As you can understand from the name, these wobblers are used in the bottom water layers. It should be noted that without good knowledge of the bottom of the river, fishing with this type of wobblers can do without a lot of money.

Remember that the decisive factor for successful fishing is the choice of the type of wobbler you need, so before you buy it, you need to know not only its weight, but also the maximum possible depth to which it can sink.

Fishing techniques

Before the beginning of fishing it is necessary to take into account weather factors, water temperature and time of year. If trolling is planned on an unfamiliar river, then it will not be out of place to ask local fishermen about the habits of the fish. Although in this case the chance of obtaining useful information will be almost zero.

Fishing on deep water

The most favorable for the rich catch are parts of the river, the depth of which varies within 8-14 m. It is recommended to troll at the minimum power of the boat with the use of especially large baits. One of the most effective methods of this method is the wave-like movement of the boat, repeating the letter S, since it is with this movement that the bait can cross the crook, then fly up, then fall into the deepest part. Do not forget that the largest pike specimens are found in submarine springs.

Important! During fishing, casting bait should be done not too far from the boat.

On the heaps

A swalom is a section of the bottom of the river, located after the outer edge of the vegetation near the shore. Dump, as a rule, like pikes up to 5 kg. Although there are rare exceptions. The technique itself is no different from the one used in deep water. The difference is only in the weight and size of the baits, it is more appropriate to use light and small. Since such sections of the river are especially popular with pikes, you must always be alert and be ready at any moment to react lightly at the same time, without forgetting to periodically rewind and discard the line at too high a tension.

A few tips

It should be remembered that a prerequisite for successful fishing is the presence of a bagra, since they will need to bag a large pike to the boat. It is especially worth noting that it needs to be scarred around the head, so as not to pierce the gallbladder.

To preserve the catch, it is necessary to use chukens, which are later planted and caught pike.

Important! Pushing the pike on the cuckoo, pay special attention to keeping the pike tongue untouched, otherwise there is a high probability that the pike will wither.

If, for certain reasons, there is no possibility to keep the fish alive, then pierce her head, thereby preserving all her taste qualities.

As shown by numerous observations of experts, the optimum temperature for starting fishing this style is 11 degrees or less.

If you plan to fish on an unfamiliar river, you should find out in advance about possible places of pike congestion. And remember that trolling is first and foremost a rest for the soul, but only then fishing. This method of catching though it is legal, but has some limitations (no more than two baits per one floating craft).

Trolling in the "Maincrafter"

For some, this concept means a style of fishing, but for the vast majority of people this word has a completely different meaning. As statistics show, a growing number of people are starting to communicate via the Internet: getting acquainted, discussing sore problems ... The popularity of this style is very simple - anonymity, because only in this way you can fully reveal all your complexes. But there are people who do not really benefit from such anonymity, to put it mildly. They meet in discussions and begin to use trolling phrases designed to publicly humiliate, insult or lead to the state of rage of a participant in a computer game or a visitor to a forum. And it's good, if the interlocutors immediately determine the troll, it's worse when a serious squabble with mutual threats of physical violence in real life flares up. Psychologists recommend not to get involved in useless clarification of relations and completely ignore trolling (phrases provocative nature).

Cases of this style of communication are not uncommon in social networks or forums, but do not forget about online games. So, for example, recently, high popularity is gaining trolling in "Maynkraft", where it becomes simply a mass phenomenon.
