With the onset of frost, a large number of winter fishing fans go to the ice in the hope of a big catch. But the amount of fish caught depends not only on weather conditions, but also on the quality of fishing gear. First of all, a fishing rod is needed for winter flashing. Despite the huge number of modern tools for fishing, there are also traditional ones that have proved their effectiveness over the years.
Winter fishing rods for trolling
Most experienced anglers use short toasters in the cold season. Winter fishing rods have several differences from other tackles. They concern not only the length of the whip. Before fishing it is necessary to decide what kind of fishing it is planned to do. For a successful fishing for a particular type of fish and fishing a special fishing rod is selected. Under ice fishing with such a tool provides active fishing, which is accompanied by frequent transitions on the ice. In this case, the fishing rod for winter gliding should always be in the hands of the fisherman. Since the predators in winter are not so active, the sensitivity of tackles plays a decisive role in fishing. With this kind of catching, bites often have a weak character, and human hands are usually hidden in gloves. That's why the rod for the spoon is equipped with a hard nod, able to show any touch to the spoon-bait.
Choose the fishing rod
Sheer gliding in winter is accompanied by a frequent change of holes, so the fishing rod should be equipped with a convenient coil. It provides a fast winding line. Several coil options are available for sale. For percussion fishing, the large, built-in fits most. As a rule, a modern rod for winter glazing is made of frost-resistant plastic. When choosing this tackle, it is necessary to take into account the strength of the material, since it can often strike against the ice. The shape of the handle of this tool from different manufacturers differs little from each other. More often manufacturers make it from a foam plastic, a stopper, penoplena or other "warm" to the touch of materials. Such handles do not cool your hands and fit comfortably in the palm of your hand.
Fishing rod for catching large predators (pike perch, pike) should be stiff. It is obliged to provide sharp and high-quality cutting. This ensures a reliable coil brake. It is better for this tool to use hinged metal inertial coils. The fishing rod is equipped with a rigid and strong whip. For such fishing rods, balancers and heavy spoon-baiters are practically not used. The length of the winter gear depends on the type of fish for which they are used. Whip for a perch can be small. The fishing rod for winter gliding on the pike-perch should be somewhat longer, since it is more convenient to catch this fish standing up. Shorter tackles are also suitable for the survival of smaller predators in the sitting position.
Homemade winter fishing rods for bait
Most often, experienced anglers themselves remake winter fishing rods, adjusting them to their needs. As a rule, plastic "tails" of uncomfortable gear are replaced with a juniper branch. This whip is cleaned from knots and bark, dried, peeled with sandpaper and impregnated with warm linseed oil. The whip is strengthened in the nest.
Many anglers make a fishing pole-worm in general "from scratch." For this, the following materials and tools are needed: durable foam, knife, jig saw, file, sandpaper, drill, super strength adhesive, thread. First, from the foam plastic cut out a suitable shape and size handle, which is properly cleaned. Using the file, the reel is turned in the handle. For the whip, you can use the tip of a flywheel. Its length should be 40-50 cm. Fix the whip in the handle hole with glue. Fix and access ring, tie it with a thread to the rod.
