winter fishing rod

First ice - the most promising time for fans of winter fishing. The ice is thin, it is easy to drill , and therefore easier to find fish even in the vast waters . And because the oxygen in the water for many more , the fish is active and responds well to the lure and bait. Conditions most favorable for fishing . It is small : it is
necessary to choose a good fishing rod and equip it . But it was a good choice of rods and causing problems.

What is a good fishing rod

Cooking rods in anticipation of the first ice anglers typically focuses on "Balalaika" . These rods are best suited for fishing with fishing tackle as a packed and in bezmotylnom version. In stores various Balalaika weight , but almost all of them have their shortcomings and of little use for ice fishing . In order not to make the wrong choice , it is necessary to know what are the requirements for fishing tackle .

First - it should be light and strong . It is clear that with a heavy rod is difficult to achieve the necessary games lures also carry a dozen such rods in a box at the transitions are not great fun. On the strength of all too clear. If the rod breaks when slicing down and breaks by dropping to the ice - what 's this rod ?

No less important condition of good games, and allowing only count on a decent catch - in the convenience of fishing rods . That is good rod should be in hand. How to assure athletes , good fishing rod is an extension of the hand , otherwise nothing good will happen.

The following requirement - rod should not chill out and , furthermore, to be heated by heat hands . At first glance, this does not have , because you can catch and mittens or gloves. Actually catch gloves " on the game " is not possible because impossible to achieve a stable and predetermined game lures . When fishing " on stoyachku " jerk it with gloves , it may be possible , but the fish on display thin fishing line can only bare hands.

There is another reason why athletes caught with his bare hands . The bait if caught in mittens , in the process of catching misses snow and water , frost it all quickly turns to ice , which tightly soldered to the body of the coil bobbin , and crank it becomes impossible. Accounts bait warm , thrusting under a jacket, or to get the next one. Both are very uncomfortable, it is better to take a good bait.

Another important requirement - the rod should have faired . Otherwise, pulling her to him (after hooking and discarding the side ), it will cling to everything that is on the ice. In the best case will drag on itself a handful of snow , and at worst - stuck firmly of icicles .

By the way, novice anglers often the question arises : whether to reject the bait or better when playing to put the line in front of him ? When catching speed drop significantly accelerates vyvazhivanie and fishing line is much less confused , which is extremely important . When you catch on minimum diameters of line , it is generally a vexed question . Of course, cast the bait when fishing in a tent does not work, so this technique leschatniki rarely used .

Finally, the main requirement for rod - spool should rotate smoothly, without jerks , and the gap between the spool and the housing rods should be minimal . Unfortunately, the vast majority of models that can be found on sale , do not meet this requirement. Meanwhile smoothness spool - this is probably the main thing that provides the convenience of working with a fishing rod . It is necessary and when playing , and when you need to change the working length of the fishing line when you move to another hole. Minimum clearance between the same spool and housing prevents spontaneous reset fishing line from the spool and the formation of " beard ". Who had to untangle a thin fishing line in the cold , he knows what a torment.

The last two requirements - a reliable , frost whip rods and bright colors , but if you purchase a fishing rod is not completely satisfy them , you can fix these flaws yourself.
