The spring just for bottom gear, because the boat is not anchored, the spawning ban, and a big fish at the coast not to take. Except that somewhere in a hole, under a cliff. Donkey is surprisingly diverse designs and methods of application, on what the imagination will suffice a fisherman.
I remember I even used to fishing from steep banks, the principle of “koltsovki”. There were other rather unexpected variants of use of donok. All, of course, is not original and there was once someone invented, but, as usual, is new – is well forgotten old. So, homemade donkey…
Coastal “koltsovka”
This steep Bank Rutki and the pit under it I have long liked. It is seen that turning blue depth under sand cliff is fraught with precious silver and gold large platic-sarojin and the sharp-eyed ides. But also conceals this mysterious pit, and the old oak trees lying on the bottom. This became clear when I cut in here a couple of feeders, not to mention torn off the hooks. And all hooks, and the cliffs were in one place, at the the PREROLL to the shore of the feeders, often with a heavy fish on the hook. Was not in any way to circumvent this cursed place, where, obviously, put in all directions your strong branches bog oak-snag. The oak tree served as a sort of watchman and guardian of the pit from the encroachments of the curious and persistent anglers. And if dry the river, many, perhaps, fishing lures and feeders could be found on his calloused hands-branches.
This morning I came up with “weapons of retaliation” – a likeness of the Volga koltsovki. This rigging is the most efficient among side donok by combining feeders and leashes with hooks in one design. But this gear can only be fished from a boat, which, unfortunately, until mid-June is not available for law-abiding anglers.
Meanwhile, after analyzing the situation, I realized that there is a solution. We must make sure that the feeder was fixed, and leashes with hooks were delivered to her like a cable car. Donka with the rubber shock absorber would not work because simply there is no place for stretching rubber and delivery to the point of hooks catching on the bottom. And here I was getting design “koltsovki”. Side is high, and the pit, lying under him, at least five meters deep. All hooks were closer to the shore, where the water was going around, and where, obviously, and landed an old oak on its eternal Parking. And right in front of him was the edge, the border of the sand bars that started with a low shore-beach opposite side and went deep under the cliff, where I was blown off its hooks.
To the hooks with bait left on the bottom of the trough, I used a lead ring gear of the Volga, and at the same time serves as a sliding sinker, and lock for the connection of the undergrowth with a cord trough.
And here’s the moment of truth – the test of the Volga koltsovki in a new role, like the rigging of a purely coastal. For this to be the appropriate tilt angle. Will lead the ring to the bottom?
Put the ring with the main fishing line and underbrush with a leash on a tight nylon cord trough, abandoned in advance. Hook-worms hang out with hooked maggots. Well, don’t let me down, cunning koltsovka… Go heavy ring, and it surely goes in depth. Here snapped up the pointer side of the donkey, mounted on the stand from the feeder. This ring has reached the trough. Everything works. And not having time to enjoy the success of the test, see how a pointer donkey nodded and strums feeder bubonicon. So it’s bite! There!.. On the line twitched a large roach. But to take it had a landing net with a long handle, specially prepared for this fishing. So Volga koltsovka got successful application in coastal fishing.
Remember “carousel”
This is not nostalgically warm and kind carousel with horses and cockerels, which we once rode, being cranky kids and a dodgy tackle, invented by resourceful fishermen.
I remember the description of this donkey I have met in any fishing encyclopedia and as something not taken seriously by such a bulky design, which is a triangle from the line, where on one side of the triangle were the hooks and the other side was the stock main fishing line. The top of the triangle was a heavy load, abandoned or brought in by boat to the fishing spot. Fisherman on the beach was gain hooks with worms or any kind of corn, then took up the main transport line, so to speak, reserve and began to choose it themselves. When you do this, fishing line with hooks, obeying the broach through the ring of the load, began to withdraw to its original position, i.e. to the load. There the undergrowth with hooks rested against a stopper in the ring of the load and remained in place until the first bite and the fight with the fish production.
This morning I dedicated it “carousel”. To make this tackle decided after failed attempts to catch the feeder on a strong current Large Kokshagi. IDE came out approximately in the same place – with a floater, sticking out of the water, where the cool swift river flow. Feeder demand very heavy. Put a bird feeder weighing 200 g, but even it was pulling from the timber. And fall exactly in the same place does not work when casting a heavy feeder, such feeders. And yahzee, unfortunately, have chosen this place.
The Donk-“gum” does not deliver. Attenuator to arch over, and only. Manufactured homes something like “carousel”. Decided to upgrade the gear, securing cargo, instead of the roller ring left over from a home sports simulator or something else like that. This is to line freely went to the top of the triangle from the line. But I realized that, most likely, the line will fly off the roller under uneven flow streams or other extreme loads. For the future I decided to look for something like the same movie, but closed. Meanwhile, at hand was only a huge carabiner-swivel left after Elzy – the Moscow watchdog. And it has attached to heavy lead load, not with pounds if weight? Fishing line will go in the ring carbine. And tilts her will compensate for moving the swivel ring.
So, I’m on the river… Brought to the boat a heavy cargo, dropped it to the bottom so that the hooks with worms and steamed peas came through and stayed right beside the log. All, of course, to the eye, but probably better than a feeder, who did not want to linger at the bottom of the logs.
That’s fishing line went to the load, with the resistance, but left. Hooks with bait had to stand next to a log. Stretching the line on the pegs in the form of an isosceles triangle, if you count the top of the cargo gear, and a hanging bell on the side of the fishing line, sit on the chair. Ten minutes later, empty contemplation of the beauties of nature suddenly see a sharp jerk of the line, and then hear the call bell. It’s a nibble! Yahzee began to take not often, but it is true. Then, at night, I added to the load of conventional vegetable grid, which always had in stock, pre-stuffed her pea-millet porridge. And in the morning the bite was even better.
Feeder type “back in the USSR”
This duralumin spinning, consisting of two tribes on the thread, not used to me, probably from the Soviet era. Won modern “sticks” made of carbon fiber, light and strong… but fragile. Do not knock and do not sit on the rod. The Soviet spinning hammerfist though the wall, only kryaknet Yes a little bend that is important in the Russian fishing, especially during the holidays… (However, each fishing holiday.) And this property once attracted me and prompted the creation of a feeder of their own design, universal to all “hundred”. Oddly enough, the tackle came out strong, really versatile and reliable. If you do not forget to remove the bell feeder with a gatehouse on the cast, the shooting of feeders excluded, although with the bell casts been established. Braid somehow managed to whistle past the bell…
Now actually on the feeder, its “proceedings,” as well as trials under field conditions. Instead of the tip, in which the feeder serves as a bite indicator, I put on a spinning cut piano strings with a length of about 20 cm would suit any spring wire, but I have always got exactly the strings of the piano, the profession requires. And they are strings, in addition to its direct purpose, as best suited to quivertip. At the end of the watch I bent the string, folded in half, and on this double plot of the future the watch strapped on glue red thread with a large spinning “Tulip”. A pointer-quivertip turned out neat and elastic-flexible. Red winding was used for better visibility for the fish to bite, and it was then trapped bell feeder.
First test of my feeder I have spent on our suburban river in the spring. The water only came down, leaving more in the meadows mirror strips and small lakes, which reflected the spring sun.
And here’s the first casts. R-time!.. Feeder plopped down fifteen meters from the shore. Everything is fine, no failures. And if you put the heaviest feeder I have in stock? Grams per two hundred-plus? Stand tackle?
Go to the site of a former Ford across the river. There are even some machines moved around on the sandy bottom. Now the water is still big, the river is deep and wide enough. Even the cast!.. Heavy feeder flew thirty meters. Quite decent and acceptable for small rivers cast. No tie-ins and failures in the tackle. Network reset free and easy. And the rod has withstood scathing and casting a heavy feeder.
Since this time the cast was impaled on the hooks with worms, podkatov up the slack, set the rod on the stand, fix the bell on the “quivera”. A pointer responsive tense and trembling on the stream, as if in anticipation. And there’s the first bite! Tuk-tuk, swoosh-swoosh!.. There!.. Pull the Bursch with the palm… will do for starters.
Then checked with my sons handmade in other places. The second feeder I made from telescopic “Chinese”, removing the tip. And it also still works, is reliable and efficient. However, when far casting is required, I still take store carbon feeder. Well, for a small river to my homemade products has no competitors…
