Proper rigging of a float rod. How to assemble a fishing rod correctly

02.08.2023

Fishing is not just a pleasant pastime, but a hobby, passion, sport, a break from annoying everyday life. However, it is not enough to know the basic techniques for catching a particular type of fish. Success largely depends on the correct choice of fishing rod and tackle, and the characteristics of the reservoir. And the fishing process itself begins not with casting, but with assembling the fishing rod. How to properly assemble a fishing rod will be discussed below.

What is a float oud

A float rod is perhaps one of the simplest fishing gear that beginner fishermen prefer to use. It is inexpensive and easy to use. Of course, even novice fishing enthusiasts need to know how to assemble a fishing rod and what parts it consists of.

In a regular float oud, three parts can be distinguished:

1. The rod is the basis of any fishing rod, which has the shape of a long thin cone. It has a thicker part - the butt, and a thin opposite end - the tip. It is necessary to hold the rod by the butt when fishing, and a fishing line is attached to the tip. The fishing rod can be either composite (one part is connected to another) or telescopic. Its length can vary depending on the personal preferences of the angler, the fishing technique used, the type of fish and the characteristics of the reservoir.

2. Fishing line - it is attached to the tip of the fishing rod. It is attached to the thin tips using a plastic fastener-connector or a small cord. In the case of a thick tip, the fishing line is attached to a special ring. If any fastening is missing, then you can independently wind a loop of thick fishing line. This will not be difficult, especially if you have already done this before and know how to assemble a fishing rod.

3. The equipment includes a float, hook and sinker. The float is used not only to notify about a bite, but also to keep the hook at the desired depth. The sinker levels the ice and provides the hook with the necessary depth.

How to assemble a float rod

First you need to mount the rod. If it is composite, then you should carefully insert its parts into each other. If the fishing rod is telescopic, then you just need to pull out its parts and secure them. The main thing is not to overdo it with force, otherwise it will be very problematic to put the fishing rod back together later. Also, when buying a fishing rod, you should pay attention to whether it comes with instructions - it may also describe how to correctly assemble the fishing rod of the model you are purchasing.

After this, you need to choose a suitable fishing line. Its thickness will depend on what type of fish you intend to catch. For ordinary coastal fishing, as a rule, a fishing line with a thickness of 0.2 mm is sufficient, which can easily withstand a load of up to 2 kg.

Assembling a reelless oud

If you are using a fishing rod without a reel, then the fishing line must be attached directly to the tip. If a ring is installed, it is tied to it or fastened with a special clasp. If a connector is used for fastening, it is glued to the tip, after which the fishing line is attached to it. It must be taken into account that it should be 15-20 cm longer than the rod.

Then the main line needs to be equipped with a float. It is secured using special stops (cambrics), which usually come with instructions for attaching them. Next, you should attach a weight (slightly below the float). Its mass is selected so that the aisle sinks into the water to the mark indicated on its antenna. To make it easier to navigate, choose floats in the store that indicate the required weight of the weight. Finally, you need to attach the hook. It is tied to the very end of the fishing line with a fishing knot. All that remains is to put the bait on the hook - and you can start fishing.

How to assemble a fishing rod and reel

To make the process of fishing from the shore or boat more comfortable, the float fishing rod can be equipped with a small reel, onto which a sufficiently large amount of fishing line must first be wound. It will provide maneuverability and lightness of the gear. The type of reel is selected depending on the type of fish and casting distance.

How to assemble a fishing rod and reel? The process itself is slightly different from the one described above. First, one of the ends of the fishing line must be tied directly to the reel and, by rotating the handle, reeled on it for at least 40 m. Then the reel must be installed on the fishing rod using the existing mount. After this, the fishing line is threaded through the rings of the rod, and then a float, weights and liner with a hook are attached to it. The length of the eyeliner should be 25-30 cm.

What is a bottom fishing rod?

How to assemble a fishing rod largely depends on its type and purpose. The bottom bit, or donka, combines several types of fishing gear: the classic donka, the underpass, the “carousel”, the throw, the sieve, the ring, the “elastic band” and many others. What all these species have in common is the ability to fish from the bottom, as well as versatility, since such a fishing rod is well suited for any fish.

The simplest bottom fishing rod consists of a fairly short rod (up to 1 m), which is equipped with a reel or reel with a supply of fishing line at least 35 m long, as well as a sinker and leashes with hooks. A fishing rod is often made independently from a not too thick wooden branch of juniper or bamboo. A loop is tied at the thin end (like on a float rod), and the thick end is sharpened into a peg and driven into the ground. Experienced fishermen most often collect donka themselves.

Assembly Features

To understand how to assemble a bottom fishing rod, it is enough to consider a few basic points. Many fishing enthusiasts prefer to store the fishing line on a reel or reel made of foam or plywood, and the fishing rod is made directly on the shore from a branch of any tree growing nearby.

But in order to save nature, it is better to do differently - make a fishing rod in advance from scrap materials. It can be stored at home as it will last for several seasons without taking up much space. Any fishing line is suitable for equipping the simplest donkey (as long as it can withstand the weight of the intended fish).

The choice of weight and shape of the sinker should be approached more responsibly. If fishing is carried out in a reservoir with a flat bottom, then it is better to use a heavier weight (it can be cast further from the shore where the fish will be found). In the case of a lake, pond or river with a small current, it is better to use a lighter weight material. For reservoirs with a rocky or muddy bottom, round-shaped weights are suitable. But for a river with a strong current and a sandy bottom, flat sinkers are most practical - they “lie” better. Also, the bottom fishing rod can be equipped with various devices: a feeder, a guard with a bell, a safety rubber band and much more.

What is a feeder?

The feeder fishing rod is becoming increasingly popular among avid fishermen. The feeder, or English donka, is a more improved version of the familiar bottom oud. Experienced fishermen know perfectly well how to assemble a feeder fishing rod on their own, but novice fishing enthusiasts cannot do without some instructions.

For feeder fishing, as a rule, a spinning reel with a large diameter spool is used. This will keep line friction to a minimum, allowing for maximum casting distance. Instead of a cord, you can use regular fishing line. It is simply threaded through the rings of the fishing rod, secured to the spool and wound onto the reel. The lines need to be wound as much as possible, almost to the very edges of the reel.

Several assembly features

It is best to use rods made specifically for the feeder, but you can also use ordinary ones, 3.6 m long, and with approximately 80 grams of dough. Feeder equipment usually consists of a plastic tube with attachments for weights, the weight itself, and a feeder. It is most convenient to use feeders that are already combined with a sinker.

First, the fishing line (or braid) is threaded through the outlet, and then you need to put on the limiter and tie the swivel, and then attach the weight and the feeder. Then you need to attach leashes with hooks. You can also add a bite alarm.

Before assembling a fishing rod, you need to decide on the type of fish you intend to catch, the type of reservoir and fishing method. Then fishing will bring not only a pleasant holiday, but also an excellent catch.

In order to start fishing, you need to properly prepare your fishing tackle. For this, in turn, it is important to decide exactly how and what kind of fish you are going to catch. There are actually many options for how a fisherman can choose his equipment.

Besides, each fish has its own characteristics that must be taken into account when preparing fishing gear.

Types of float rods

Of course, one of the most important elements is rod. It can be of various types. Let's talk about what the main varieties are.

Flying rods

This variety is designed for short to medium range fishing. Casting a line is done using a swinging motion. This is where the name of this type comes from. Its main difference is that there are no rings for fishing line. This is called "blind rigging".

Fishing in this way can take place both in still and flowing water. Flying rods are considered the most ancient and, at the same time, the simplest and most accessible. When fishing, such fishing rods are usually held high in the hands, which makes using a heavy fishing rod uncomfortable.

Therefore, low weight, which is necessary for repeated casting of the fishing rod, is a vital necessity for this species. They are made from various types of plastic, and sometimes a telescopic design is used.

Choosing a match rod

Conclusion

A properly assembled fishing rod is one of the components of fishing success. Experience, knowledge and the right place for fishing are of course important, but without good equipment they are unlikely to bring success. Beginners, I hope, will be able to prepare for fishing based on the recommendations given here.

How long has it been since you had a really BIG CATCH?

When was the last time you caught dozens of HUGE pike/carp/bream?

We always want to get results from fishing - to catch not three perch, but ten kilogram pikes - what a catch! Each of us dreams of this, but not everyone can do it.

A good catch can be achieved (and we know this) thanks to good bait.

It can be prepared at home or bought in fishing stores. But stores are expensive, and to prepare bait at home, you need to spend a lot of time, and, to be fair, homemade bait does not always work well.

You know that disappointment when you buy bait or prepare it at home and only catch three or four bass?

So maybe it’s time to use a truly working product, the effectiveness of which has been proven both scientifically and in practice on the rivers and ponds of Russia?

It gives the same result that we cannot achieve on our own, especially since it is cheap, which distinguishes it from other means and there is no need to spend time on production - you order it, it’s delivered and you’re good to go!

Of course, it is better to try once than to hear a thousand times. Moreover, now is the season! This is a great bonus when ordering!

Find out more about the bait!

Every fisherman strives to get the best catch and uses various tricks to achieve this. But beginners in such a difficult task should work harder, since at the same time as fishing they have to master the basics of fishing and constantly take into account special nuances.

There are a huge number of varieties of fishing rods, and each fisherman chooses the most suitable one for himself. The float rod has long been known as it is excellent for catching certain predatory fish. Such fishing rods perform especially well when using live bait as bait.

Should I buy a ready-made fishing rod or assemble it myself?

Every fisherman, before going fishing, asks himself this question: make a fishing rod yourself or simply buy it in some good store. Both methods have their pros and cons.

For example, if you assemble a fishing rod yourself, you will have to buy all the necessary elements for it:

Rod;
Float;
Fishing line;
Hooks;
Crushers.

In addition, assembly, especially for a novice fisherman, may seem like an overwhelming task that will require a lot of time.

In the case of simply purchasing a ready-made fishing rod with tackle, you won’t have to bother with all this and figure out what should be attached where, since everything will already be done for the fisherman. So we can say that a store-bought fishing rod can save a huge amount of time, which is preferable for a fisherman who would like to get straight to the main task.

A complete fishing rod assembly is more suitable for those fishermen who would like to completely master the art of fishing and know exactly how their fishing rod works and, if necessary, be able to improve it.

Types of float rods

Due to the fact that there are now a huge number of shops for fishermen and this industry is constantly developing, you can find a huge number of completely different rods for a specific type of fishing.

But it is best to purchase rods for general fishing, which will allow you to catch absolutely any fish with equal success.

Rods come in different lengths and when choosing in this regard, you need to take into account how far you need to cast the float. The further you go, the longer the rod should be.

There are only three types of rods:

Fly feathers. The reel is not involved in fishing. The nozzle reaches the required place with a small swing.
Plug-in. More suitable for long-distance fishing. Easy to cast due to its design.
Match. Includes a sliding bobber that is cast like a spinning rod. It can reach quite long distances, as well as deep places.

Choosing a fly rod for float fishing

A fly fishing rod is considered the most optimal for different types of fishing, which is why most not only novice fishermen, but also quite experienced ones prefer to use it.

Quite easy to use, the fly rod does not cause any inconvenience or any complications when fishing.

For such a fishing rod, the length of the rod varies from 4 to 6 meters.

It is worth considering that a long rod may be too heavy, and in fishing with such a rod, the main role is played by lightness and mobility.

Therefore, for beginner fishermen or fishermen who have not used a fly rod before, it is best to start with a short rod and learn how to handle it before moving on to a longer rod.

The most optimal distance for training will be 5 meters.

Most fly fishing rods are made from fairly light materials, but it’s still better to start with lighter designs and then gradually move on to heavier ones, thereby gaining the necessary experience.

When choosing a fishing rod, you should pay attention to the reel. Since some fishing rods may not include it in their design, which can have a very unfortunate effect on fishing. Some models of fishing rods do not even have a special mount for a reel.

However, the absence of a reel makes the fishing rod very light. You should also pay attention to the rod, which should be sensitive enough, since if the rod is not sensitive, you can easily tear the fish’s lip or simply miss it.

Float rod equipment

The equipment is a list of interconnected components:

Cambrides on fishing line (usually 2 pieces). Necessary for inserting the float.
Lead crushers. They are necessary to load the float. There are two types of crushers: with a hole and with a notch.
We should not forget about the sinkers, of which there should be more than one. The distance between the last and penultimate sinker should be from 7 to 10 cm. The last sinker is also called a sub-sink. With its help, you can ship the required amount of equipment.
Attaching a fishing line to a float rod with a leash.

A leash is necessary, otherwise the fish will simply be afraid of the fishing line and will not come close to the bait. The leash is also very useful in cases where the hook clings to the bottom. In this case, by pulling harder, the fisherman will only lose the hook itself, when the float remains with him, which is much preferable.

Float selection

A float can greatly influence the result of fishing, so all fishermen treat its choice with special care.

For a fly fishing rod, it is better to choose a float with a thin top, since it is used more profitably under such conditions.

Floats that flow from a thick diameter to a thin one are also considered good floats.

If a fisherman needs a particularly sensitive float that will respond to any movement of the bait, it is better to use goose feather floats, which are famous for their responsiveness.

Equipping a float rod with a float

In order to make the equipment correctly, it is necessary to distinguish between its types and installation, which will make it easy to complete this task. This is also very important when using a fishing rod without rings.

Attaching the float with a ring at the top to the fishing line:

The fishing line is inserted into the float (upwards from the bottom);
Cambric on fishing line;
The lower part of the float is in cambric.

Attaching a float to a fishing line without a ring:

In this case, if the float does not have a ring, one cambric will not be enough. That's why fishermen use two.
Also, for convenience, elastic bands are used, which should not be too narrow.

How to catch more fish?

I have been active fishing for quite some time and have found many ways to improve the bite. And here are the most effective:

. Attracts fish in cold and warm water with the help of pheromones included in the composition and stimulates its appetite. It’s a pity that Rosprirodnadzor wants to impose a ban on its sale.
More sensitive gear. Reviews and instructions for other types of gear can be found on the pages of my website.
Lures using pheromones.

You can get the rest of the secrets of successful fishing for free by reading my other materials on the site.

Loading the float

There are certain rules for loading a float that must be followed while fishing in order for the fishing to be particularly successful. The most successful loading is considered to be when only its antenna is visible from the entire float.

Only in this case does the equipment have the necessary sensitivity and responsiveness, which makes it easy to determine the location of the fish.

However, in case of windy conditions, sensitive rigging can become a big problem, which can be eliminated by adjusting the load.

How to load a float on a pond?

Typically the float is lowered to the bottom of the antenna or even slightly lower. It all depends on what the fishing will be for and in what body of water. Don’t be afraid to sink the float, since when a predator attacks, the bite will be visible in any case.

How to load a float at home?

The float can also be loaded at home on your own directly in a plastic bottle. To do this, you need to attach lead crushers from larger to smaller sizes. This must be done until only the antenna remains of the float on the surface.

Leash attachment

Attaching a leash is one of the common problems of novice fishermen who, when faced with such a task for the first time, do not know which way to approach it. There are several ways to attach a leash to a fishing line, but it is best to use the most popular and simplest one.

You can ask more experienced fishermen on thematic forums about fastening. This will help you find out the most relevant method.

How to tie a leash to a fishing line?

To tie a leash to a fishing line, you need to put insulation on the fishing line according to the number of leashes. Then you need to tie the loops on the fishing line. Each cambric should be located inside the loops.

Hook selection

There are several types of hooks, but each fisherman selects it individually. Hooks can be classified not only by size and shape, but also by the fish they are intended for. Therefore, to catch a certain type of fish, you should also select a hook.

When buying a hook, fishermen must make a choice between Russian products and imported ones. Most people buy imported hooks, as they are considered quite good.

For larger and more predatory fish, you should choose medium or large hooks. And for peaceful river fish, small ones are suitable.

How to properly tie a hook to a fishing line?

There are also several methods for this task. But even here there is the most common and simple one, which will be understandable to every fisherman.

To tie the hook to the fishing line, you need to use a special gripping knot. To do this, you need to pass the spoon through the hole in the carabiner and make several turns. This is necessary for winding the fishing line and obtaining turns.

Then you should insert the tip of the fishing line into the hole of the carabiner and tighten the entire knot to secure it.

Shepherd boy

Sub-grazing is not always used and some fishermen do not consider it necessary. It is located next to the hook. Necessary to change the appearance of the attachment and its general characteristics.

In addition, such a sinker creates quite a lot of problems, since it has a huge number of varieties and sizes, which does not allow you to choose the most suitable one the first time. The antenna allows you to notice the bite, but without a backup it will be quite difficult to load it.

Float rod for live bait fishing

Crucian carp most often lives in lakes and various reservoirs, and many fishermen go fishing specifically for them. You can also find crucian carp in small ponds. However, in order to catch such fish, you need to understand its behavior and how to properly equip your fishing rod to improve fishing efficiency.

How to properly equip a float rod for crucian carp?

There are two types of equipment:

Flywheel;

Allows you to catch crucian carp at a distance of 10 or 15 meters and easily control the entire process. The principle of such equipment is quite simple: a fishing line with equipment is attached to the tip of the rod.

Match.

It has a reel in its design, thanks to which you can make fairly large bait casts. You can also use a thin fishing line that the fish does not notice.

How to properly equip a float rod for carp?

Basic equipment is also suitable for carp fishing. However, there are also individual approaches that will make fishing more productive.

Equipment components:

Float (with cambrics);
Sinkers (lead);
Leash;
Hook.

By combining all the components together, you get an excellent rig that can lure and catch carp.

How to properly equip a float fishing rod with two hooks?

For such equipment, a piece of thin cambric (10 cm) is required. A fishing line is passed through it and tied to the two ends of the hook. The main line runs in the middle.

Results

There are a huge number of ways to fish with a float rod. However, if you choose the most suitable and convenient one for yourself, you can always have a very successful catch even in the most inconvenient conditions.

Of course, everything is learned by comparison, which is why experienced fishermen very often go to rivers, reservoirs and lakes to fish there and try out different fishing rods, equipment and baits in order to ultimately choose the ideal option for themselves.

Therefore, if possible, a novice fisherman should always consult with more experienced ones, which can significantly speed up his learning and make fishing especially successful.

How long has it been since you had a really BIG CATCH?

When was the last time you caught dozens of HUGE pike/carp/bream?

We always want to get results from fishing - to catch not three perch, but ten kilogram pikes - what a catch! Each of us dreams of this, but not everyone can do it.

You know that disappointment when you buy bait or prepare it at home and only catch three or four bass?

So maybe it’s time to use a truly working product, the effectiveness of which has been proven both scientifically and in practice on the rivers and ponds of Russia?

Of course, it is better to try once than to hear a thousand times. Moreover, now is the season! This is a great bonus when ordering!

Find out more about the bait!

There is nothing complicated about properly equipping a float rod, and in the previous guide we discussed this issue in some detail.

Let us remember once again how to properly equip a fishing rod with a float with a blind rig:

The structure of a float rod is described in the following step-by-step guide to equipping the rod with fishing line, floats, sinkers, a leash and a hook.

1. Attaching the fishing line to the float rod

Attaching the fishing line to the tip of the fly float rod

There may be two options:

you have a fishing rod with rings;
You have a float fly fishing rod without rings, only at the tip there is a special mount.

In the first case, you need to attach a reel to the fishing rod, wind the fishing line around the reel and, starting from the ring closest to the reel, insert the fishing line into all the rings, bringing it out through the last smallest ring at the tip.

If you have a fishing rod without rings, then there must be a special mount at the tip of the rod. It is glued to the tip of the rod using super glue. Then, at the end of the main fishing line, this loop is made and put on the mount, closing it with a special stopper.

2. Equipping a float rod with a float

If you are using a fishing rod without rings, then you need to understand that the length of the fishing line should be equal to the length of the rod, or exceed it by a maximum of half a meter. It is this amount of fishing line that makes it easy to cast and easily pull out the equipment or fish directly into your hand.

How to attach a float with a ring at the top to a fishing line

First, insert the line into the ring from the bottom to the top.
You put a special rubber cambric on the fishing line, which you should have bought in the store (perhaps it was included with the float, and they also often come in sets of lead pellets, which we will also need to equip the float fishing rod).
And insert the lower part of the float (keel) into the rubber casing, as shown in the figure at the beginning of the article.

How to attach a float without a ring to a fishing line

There are also floats that do not have a ring. Cambric alone is no longer enough here. You will have to use two (we put both on the fishing line and insert the ends of the float into them - the tip and the lower keel). The tip is often larger in size, so the cambric must be selected according to its diameter.

Try not to get too shallow with the cambrics; when you change the working depth of your equipment (move the float along the line), the cambrics wear out and tear. Therefore, it is important to use elastic bands that are not very narrow.

An alternative version of the equipment for those who do not use cambrics, but prefer stoppers. Very simple and convenient.

3. Correct loading of the float

Correct loading of the float (at the very beginning of the tip)

Some people call this a float load, although in fact it is actually called a load. You need to attach lead pellets to the fishing line so that only the upper part of the float (its tip) remains above the water.

If you have previously seen large floats in which most of the body sticks out of the water and anglers are trying to catch something on them, this is the wrong approach, unless the angler (or any other fish, in which case the sensitivity of the equipment does not play a role at all and it is important that the live bait does not greatly distort the movement of the float with its presence).

How to load a float on a pond

Sensitive loading occurs as follows. You attach a small lead pellet under the float using pliers, pliers, needle nose pliers (last with your teeth). Throw it into the water. If the body of the float is still visible above the water, you need to add more weights.

Be sure that the minimum depth is set, or that you are casting to a sufficient depth, the weights should be suspended and not fall to the bottom.

Load the line with lead pellets until only the tip of the float appears above the water, preferably so that the body is completely under water. This will provide the best sensitivity. Although it is acceptable to have a small portion of the body visible above the surface in windy conditions, this will reduce visual deception as the float passes through the waves.

If you loaded too much- use scissors, thin-nose pliers or forceps (teeth last, take care of the enamel) to pinch off a small piece of lead. Be careful not to damage the line.

How to load a float at home

Follow all the same steps, but use not water from a reservoir, but a 1.5 or 2 liter plastic bottle. Well, lower the float as close as possible to the lead pellets so that they do not lie at the bottom of the bottle when determining the additional load.

How to increase your fish catch?

Over 7 years of active fishing, I have found dozens of ways to improve the bite. Here are the most effective ones:

Bite activator. This pheromone additive attracts fish most strongly in cold and warm water. Discussion of the bite activator “Hungry Fish”.
Promotion gear sensitivity. Read the appropriate manuals for your specific type of gear.
Lures based pheromones.

4. Leash attachment

A leash is an essential component of a float rod. It serves faithfully in the following ways:

During the hook, the thinner line of the leader will break first and you will be able to save the rig with a float and lead pellets. To restore, you only have to tie a new leash with a hook.

The fish is afraid of a thick fishing line, but it almost doesn’t even notice a thin line and bites the bait much more actively.

We recommend using fluorocarbon lines for tying leashes. Actually, this material was made specifically as a leash. Fluorocarbon is much more expensive than fishing line from, but stores sell reels of 5, 10, 15, 25, 50 m. This will significantly reduce the spending of the fishing budget, and even a 10-meter reel will be enough for almost the entire season, because only 25 are spent on one leash mm fishing line.

How to tie a leash with fishing line

The easiest way is to use the same one, although there are other knots for tying leashes, nevertheless, the figure eight is quite suitable and the strength of the knot is excellent.

The length of the leash after tying and attaching the hook should be around 15 cm, so initially take a piece 25 cm long.

5. How to properly tie a hook to a fishing line

There are several simple ways to tie hooks to the main line:

At this point, equipping the fishing rod with a float, weights, leash and hook is completed, you can begin feeding and fishing.

Opinions usually differ about universal tackle - some believe that such fishing rods are not ideal for any of the fishing methods, others prefer, instead of several highly specialized ones, to have only one on hand, but in working condition. Since the prices for professional gear are high, a universal fishing rod is especially convenient for amateur fishermen who are planning to spend their vacation on the shore of a reservoir.

So, in order to assemble a universal fishing rod for all occasions, an inexpensive three-meter composite or fiberglass fishing rod with a telescopic design, equipped with a reel seat and rings with ceramic inserts, is suitable. It must withstand a load of 20-40 grams. The cheapest options are produced in Southeast Asia, China and Korea. If you plan to transport the rod for a long time, buy a portable telescopic one.

It is better to choose a cork handle, a spinning reel with a rotating roller for 150 meters of 0.30 mm fishing line. You will need two spools. Each of them should be wound with 100 meters of 0.20 and 0.30 mm line. Since it must reach the edges of the spool, it is necessary to use additional pieces of fishing line for winding. It’s better to take an inexpensive domestic one or an old, unusable one.

For the proposed line options, a sliding float weighing 5 g or a fixed float weighing 3 grams is suitable. If you are going to fish in a river with a current, buy a basalt float with a thick top, and for still water a float with a basalt body and a peacock feather is suitable. The features of their use are as follows: fixed is used for depths up to 2 m, then sliding should be used.

A pair of pellets and an olive are suitable as sinkers for the main line, and a small pellet for the leash. The leash should be made from 0.12 and 0.15 mm fishing line, which is better to purchase with a reserve - 25 meters each. Hooks are suitable with numbers 12-18. This tackle will allow you to catch roach or crucian carp.

When fishing for tench, do not use a leash; use a larger hook – No. 6-12. For bream, you should take a hook No. 8-14 and a 15-centimeter leash. For pikes, purchase a carabiner, a cork float, a metal leash and a tee, install a spool with 0.30 mm line. Carp is caught like bream, but on a hook No. 2-8 with 0.30 mm line. If desired, the collected tackle can also be used as a spinning rod, especially if you fish from the shore.
