Offset hooks. Hooks for fishing

Supply fishing equipment properly chosen hook can be called a key to successful fishing. Each item of equipment contributes to the efficiency of the process, but the hook is the most responsible kit of parts. Attention fishermen, especially beginners, mainly focused on the production of the material and the size of this component. And such an approach is justified, especially since the current manufacturers are using more and more technology-based metals and special coatings. But crucial nevertheless has a form of the element. And in this respect offset hooks can be attributed to the most exotic models. Their non-standard configuration, however, makes it possible to deal with fishing tasks where useless other varieties of hooks. But ofsetnikov operation requires some knowledge.

Features offset hooks

At first glance at the offset hook catches the eye of his unique, but pretty significant difference - in the upper part of the forearm is provided zigzag. It is thanks to the double curve of the model and was called "hook folded." In addition to this structural difference it is worth noting that compared to the classical single products offset hooks are larger. It is quite logical question of what is due to step geometry. It is thanks to this feature, many Russian fishermen have learned about how to make better use of bait, not losing it in snags. Hence, in fact, the second name of the hook - "netseplyayka". However, in the conventional snap this model is ineffective. She behaves well under the water in the thickets and other problem areas, but in terms of pokleva seriously inferior to classic models. But much depends on the bait and the fishing method.

Technology pushed on bait

It is important to understand that created ofsetniki for silicone bait, it can be rubber worms or twisters. Installation begins with the selected puncture obliquely bait. She then moved up a notch, then you need to try on the position of the tip and plug it into the bait so that it has entered into. However, the question of how to impose a blanket hook, is not so simple, because the bait should be placed on certain conditions. The fact that the stinger relative to the surface of the bait should be placed under a 40-degree angle. According to experts, this is the optimal situation in which fish can easily swallow kruchok, then the sting out of twister. The result is a construction having a minimal chance to hook into the wrong place under water.

Round or straight?

Traditional ofsetnik has direct forearm. Round also appeared later and today are called wide gap. Actually, they are known even more than the direct model. And there is a reason. Especially around the offset hooks preferably in Russian, as the range of lures used by domestic fishermen better with them. For example, the classic hook shear used effectively with long thin worms, and models with a rounded geometry suitable for short and thick silicone baits. In particular, it is recommended to apply the Tube and slugs. The same twister on a large scale with a wide gap hook combined organically, as the sting and sits correctly, and the gap from the bottom of the bait to the hook is greater. Ultimately, this combination contributes to a greater number of realized strikes.

Hooks of this type are presented in a wide variety of sizes. This, in particular, the popular numbers 1, 2 and 1/0. However, it is important to bear in mind that these dimensions do not always correspond to similar markings from the baits. So often we have to pick up twisters and other silicone baits experimentally. Anyway, in the most common formats the actual size of the offset hooks should be:

• Number 2: 35 to 11 m in length and width, respectively.
• Number 1:. 38 to 12 cm
• No. 1/0: 42 to 14 mm.

How does the hook?

Relatively problematic bait attachment is not without reason. That's the conclusion of a sting in the silicone body increases the chances of implementation pokleva. This feature distinguishes the catch via ofsetnikov from the jig, wherein the expected release of acute wave outwardly. Further, it is worth noting that on the rubber silicone bait hook works effectively on a perch. Then it affects the relationship of the fish with the bass, which is designed to catch ofsetnik. If we take the model of the small size, when biting sting out of the oral cavity outward comes back and then re-released to the outside. Understand the mechanics of this intricate manipulation is difficult, but in any case it ensures that the fish does not fall through, and this is another advantage of the blanket of the hook.

Mounting accessories

Among the snap-ins that you can use with offset hooks, often called Texas. But it is not very effective in its original setting, the more that there are better solutions, including representing a modification of this process a snap. For example, the installation of the blanket hook can be performed using a conventional double-crested ball of lead. To begin with one of the lugs should be rotated 90 °, then by using the winding of the ring to embed the hook. In this case, the ball replaces the classic Texas "bullet" that increases the risk of toe, but otherwise makes fishing more effectively. The main thing - the right to relate the size of the ear hook and the wire from the ring. The optimum diameter of the latter must be such that the two coils can pass through the eye of ofsetnika.

In some cases, justified by an open sting?

Against the background of popularization of the flanged snap enthusiasts experiencing offset model and such configurations. And just in this embodiment, it makes sense not to hide the sting in the bait and leave it open. On the one hand, it is true, but if fishing is carried out on the perch, the feasibility of the external sting questioned. The fact that the bait on the hook for the blanket of the fish does not present any difficulty when eaten and breaks easily, that is, self-perch is placed on the sting. However, as practice shows, open the fish are not afraid of sharp tip, and a successful hook is not guaranteed. In this regard, the release of the sting can increase the number of bites, but only if it's not just about fishing for perch and similar major trophies.

Conclusion

If they are a long time and become part of the whole non-standard practice in ofsetnikov Russian fishermen. Even if the original geometry, which have offset the hooks, has no value for users, particularly shaped make themselves known in the course of fishing. For example, today, few fans of wide gap rulers know that this configuration has occurred because of the concept of shift hooks. Another thing is that over time, this modification is isolated and become separate species. It may be more effective than traditional direct ofsetnik. But there is considerable demand for the classics. Especially among spinnings, who focus on the use of silicone lures. Ease of use, reliability and outstanding under water and high levels of realized bites - these are the main arguments in favor of fishing with offset hooks.
