Universal baubles - "Cicada"

"Cicada" - such a poetic name got a spoon-bait, which, according to the catchiness, many consider the best of all known. Especially it is considered effective for catching perch and pike. Consider how the "Cicada" spinner is arranged, and we will get acquainted with the ways and peculiarities of catching it.

Design and function

Spinner "Cicada" is a metal plate on which a lead head is soldered from one side. In the "head" and "tail" of the spoon-baits there are holes through which the hooks "twins" are fastened (no larger than eight). Also make a few holes in the "back" for the leash. Because of the large difference in the area and weight of the lead head and tin tail with the lead of the baubles, the "Cicada" vibrates strongly with the back part, and its "head", on the contrary, moves smoothly from side to side. Thus, it alone acts simultaneously as a rotating lure and as a "wobble". However, the vibration of the tail of the "Cicada" is much more intense than the vibrating spoon-bait, so it can be attributed to a new type - "vibrating spoon-bait." The effect of this tackle is the great sensitivity of the lateral line of the predatory fish. Feeling the vibration of the bait, so to speak, "whole body," the predator perceives it as the agony of the victim and immediately reacts. Proof of the effectiveness of this approach is the fact that the spinner "Cicada" works equally well both in transparent and in muddy water.

Methods of catching

Spinner "Cicada" is an incredibly versatile bait that allows you to catch at all depths, and also do wiring both upstream and downstream. For catching in middle depths and on the bottom, you need to take a spoon with a weight of 12 g or 25 g, and for the upper layers it is better to use 10 g or even easier. The vibration power of the spoon-bait can be adjusted by changing the attachment point of the leash (as described above, there are a few holes in the back for this). The closer the leash to the "head" of the iron fish, the more aggressive its tail will work. By the way, the lead experienced spinnings recommend to make very rigid, for example, from a dental stainless wire, a length of 5-7 centimeters. Near the surface of the "Cicada" spend evenly, without sharp braces and jerks. At medium depths, you need to drive it a little faster, with short stops (giving a little dive), and then without jerks (not breaking the game) to resume the leash. The most difficult is the wiring on the bottom. In general, it resembles a "jig" (stop-forward) with the difference that the vibration of the spoonbill is clearly transferred to the arm of the spinning guard, and he knows at every moment that with It happens.

All this is common advice - only self-trolling "Cicada" and personal experience will allow to develop the ideal methods of catching with it.

Conclusion

In general, the lure of the "Cicada" reviews gets only positive. Its only "drawback" is often called "hooks" when working on the bottom, which is due to the design. But it would probably be unfair to call this feature inherent only to it. Bottom fishing is always associated with the risk of losing bait, so in this sense, the "Cicada" spoon is no worse than other spoon bait.
