In the last three years the fascination with the catching of a white predator lures inevitably led to the increase in the number of the kranks ‘ in my collection of lures. I was astonished at the great number of lures at my friends anglers. -And what, it so happens that out of 15 crankbaits IDE only caught on one? – I was perplexed. -No? Why then are so many plugs do you?
In General, in General, is clear: different conditions catching, different horizon transaction, the different nature of the behavior of a Wobbler when posting etc. but only with this same man one day decided to go fishing together on the Volga with boats, and it turned out that among all its diversity the kranks ‘ was very small plugs of appropriate size.
Size matters
You must immediately determine that there is a suitable size for big water. You know, the ultralight the middle of the Volga to catch somehow illogical. Of course, there are the anglers, who above all appreciate the adrenaline from the ears” when playing ” IDE in spinning with the test up to 7, but with such a friend and I were in the boat. However, the vast require coverage areas. It is on a small river you can sneak up along the shore to the Chub, and the boat just far casting can help to get the fish. So it became clear that Sasha has no wobblers, which would be flying to where my fly. Hence, a small number of bites. By going through all that he was in the box, he finally found the right model, but it was just one Wobbler of a couple of dozen! And this case is not unique. Quite often those with whom I fish in the Arsenal is not very much of voblerov. As a rule, some efficient Walker, a couple of crankbaits minnow, well, and a couple krinkov that they have absolutely not studied. Once a similar pattern has been in me, but let’s not look back.
Take a look in my box of lures
The most versatile and efficient Wobbler that I use when fishing on large rivers is a Lucky Craft Clutch with different options of penetration (SSR, SR, MR, DR). Universal – for two reasons. First he is caught, and Chub, and Chub with the IDE. Second – I catch them on small rivers when trying to catch big Chub. About efficiency not going to rant, but I want to focus on his size. It is 45 mm. I think this size is perfect for catching white predator on the Volga, Akhtuba and the don in our southern latitudes. Of course, if the Wobbler more pot-bellied, kind of fat, and the size can be slightly smaller. For example, Raiden Bubble Crank, I have one of the workers has a length of 40 mm. At him, caught enough fish to consider it a test on my favorite places.
However, talking about the size in millimeters, it is necessary to warn that different manufacturers, consider the length of the crank in different ways. Usually considered to be the length of the body of the crank, that is, without lobes, but sometimes come across such where the length is specified together with the “shovel”. One of these crankbaits – Mottomo Wrestler 60F. The length of the body of the lure is 50 mm, which fits into the size range of the kranks ‘ for big water. Pro Wrestler I can say that for some reason he often catches Sudakov than white predator. It deepens a little bit deeper than MR Clutch, therefore, before to catch at the very bottom of the Clutch dear DR, I put the first Wrestler. If he can’t touch the bottom, well then there is only the Clutch of Dr. Perhaps you can still add that I’m more likely to catch from shore than from the boat, and Wrestler 3 grams heavier “clutch”, respectively is flying further than I always use. As for the size, for which I plead, then 50 mm is for IDE and Chub, not much. In the same size fishing Lucky Craft SKT mini DR that’s in my box with a deep (up to 3M).
Different crank – different characters
Often the spinning crank is divided into active and not. In oral conversation, often say this lure much “sausage”. Such lures prefer the Chub. For Example, Pontoon-21 Red Rag. With its small size it weighs 5.6 g, which is sufficient for long casting. An example of a more relaxed crank – yo-Zuri the Owner of C Bug Eye F. His yahzee just love. Of course, I caught him and Chub, and Chub, but in my box it is considered the most Yazev. It so happens that the IDE does not want to “butt” wobblers with an active game, the fans are ignored, and a quiet Bug Eye eats for a sweet soul. By the way, the size of his body – 50 mm.
There is such a thing as sound effect. Some crankbaits pounding balls when posting, some slightly noisy, and is quite silent. I have a one – strike Pro Bull Crank. What can I say about him? He, too, catches of IDE and Chub. And size has all the same 50 mm.
How to hang in grams?
There is still one question – what spinning reel is more comfortable to catch the above lures? LC Clutch weighs approximately 5.8 grams Mottomo Wrestler – 8.4 g, LC SKT and 9.6 g. this Suggests that the spinning must be with the test from 4 up to 10-12 g In my Arsenal for catching the kranks ‘ on big water (it must be constantly borne in mind) there are three spinning: CD Extrasense Nano 702ML (2,13 m /3-14 d), SurfMaster Black Bass S-672MLMF (5.5 to 17.5 g) and Mottomo Compacto MCMS-694L (2.10 m, 3-15 d). First spinning the longest, and I often catch them from the shore. Power it decently. Take fishing for big Chub. The second spinning is more suitable for boat fishing. It is very brief, however – kreskowy. The form is very springy, them to throw wobblers – is a pleasure. Short length also helps to Wade with him through the Bush along the small rivers. Well, the third spinning is chetyrehkantnyj that disassembled can be stowed in a suitcase. Assembled it is quite a resilient and catching them the white predator.
Not only Wobbler’s fault!
Be sure to say a few words about the very transaction. At first glance it seems that krinkov has its own game and working horizon of buried. That is enough to throw it so that he wasn’t confused about the line or cord, and uniformly conducted in the water column – Wobbler’ll do it myself. Seduce the fish will swim into her mouth and firmly hooked by the hooks. And, it seems, and actually is, but there are nuances. The first and most important is the thickness of the braids and the presence and type of leash. Very often I hear the testimony of the fishermen, they say, can not catch a fish on a recognized catchability baits. And very rarely heard that someone has focused on the use of a leash.
On a fishing trip that was a couple of weeks ago, I gave my friend the “right” spinning, Wobbler and… in his classification only perch and I have caught the entire range of cold-blooded inhabitants of the Akhtuba. Particularly pleased with the large sabrefish. I decided to understand the reasons for such a notable difference, because the tackle is configured by me, so should work! It turns out that my man was tied to the thick braids of green leash with immodest buckles and put on him a Wobbler. As obviously catchability baits (at the same place a couple of days ago) now plays and deepens with such “sloppy” leash – I don’t know. But the result was obvious. I always put the leash of guitar strings No. 2, and on all their crankbaits judge together with him. Should I remove the leash, I stop, lure learn. Immediately change the horizon and the game. The thickness of the braids is also important. It is clear that the thinner the cord, the faster the Wobbler will be released on the working depth. The lower the resistance of the cord in the water, and hence the depth will change. Only here the use of thin braided lines increases the risk of losing Wobbler at the toe.
And, of course, you need to learn to feel the life of the crank to the water. Learn to recognize the game crashing when in contact with fish or when meeting with an obstacle. Not to be lazy and pick up the lures under certain conditions that every snag, every 5-10 meters have changed. And, of course, greatly helped the rich practice of catching on cranky. I hope that my testimony will help someone in the accumulation of this practice of catching of a white predator lures on the big water.
