Tackle for catching perch on the rocker in the winter

But what's done fishing perch balancer? Winter fishing for perch udilnika involves the use of a medium-sized (40-60 cm) with srednezhestkim systems. It is desirable to use a coil having a built-in friction brake. This can be either normally open and inertialess design with bobbin, able to accommodate about 30 m thick of line 0, 12-0, 15 mm. Catching perch balancer is usually made without using steel leash. Firstly, the striped predator, even the largest, is not able to bite the line, and secondly, it significantly reduces the sensitivity of the gear. The only reason that justifies the use of a leash on the perch may be a high probability of biting pike. Oh, it is something to cope with any unprotected tackle.

The balancer to the main line may be secured using both latches (carbine) and without it. Most often used the second option, when the bait is simply attached. It does not disturb sensitive equipment.

How to be a nod to

Nod (cock) is an essential attribute of most of the winter fishing rods. It provides a smooth game of bait and time signals biting. But whether it is necessary for fishing on the rocker?

Opinions of fishermen in this matter differ. Some argue that it does not affect the game of bait and bite of the predator, and so you can feel, while others argue that the rod without the nod - just stick.

Definitely one can say that perch on the balancing can be done and without a nod, but still better, if he will.

Open water cock is rarely used. Fisherman, while in the boat, its even minimal movements, causes some fluctuations, which can not affect the position of a nod. This creates a false impression of the biting. Because of this, the summer is usually tackle the lodge is not equipped. Another thing - winter. Catching perch balancer during periods of low activity it requires the angler immediate reaction to the weakest bite. And without a nod not do. Cock will not affect the characteristics of fishing rods, but none of the bite will not go unnoticed with him.

fishing technique on the rocker

fishing technique using the balancer is sequential rotation rod strokes and pauses therebetween. Frequency udilnikom movements and duration of stops selected based on predator activity, the depth and strength of flow. Catching perch on the balancer can be carried out using both basic techniques, and using alternative methods.

In the first case, the bait sink to the bottom, then rises above it to 10-15 cm and maintained with 3-4. Next is blurred, but a quick sweep of the rod up in such a way that the rocker has jumped by 20-30 cm and returned to the initial position. When the bait will return to the bottom, the process is repeated. Having trained with the basic technique, you can proceed to alternative methods. For example, to omit the rocker bottom, we hit it 2-3 times on the surface to lift the dregs and then rises to about 50 cm and hold 2-3 seconds. After this, the bait is released into free fall to the bottom. Due to its shape and the stabilizer on the tail, the balance slowly, "plans", sinking to the bottom. This technique is usually used by fishermen during the winter.

And the following method is effective. Bait sharply raised from the bottom of 30-40 cm and a shed at the bottom. So repeated several times. Next, raise the rocker has a height of 50-70 cm from the bottom and then let go. Best of all, this method works when jigging fall.
