Multiplier is one of 3 types of fishing reels. It is correct to call such coils multiplier coils. They work on the principle of an inertial reel, however, they have a gear ratio and an effective braking system to prevent tangling of the fishing line and releasing "beards".

Multipliers are divided into two groups:

• For casting languid lures(traditional multipliers like "barrel" for baits 15-80 g).
• Trolling reels(in particular, marine reels) have a counter for measuring the wound line. This is required to deepen the wobblers to the desired depth. You lower the wobbler to a predetermined depth, look at the counter, and in many subsequent postings use the lowering of the fishing line specifically to the value acquired during the first posting.

Trolling reels are more expensive than traditional multiplier reels if you need a counter, you have a regular multiplier reel - you just need to leave marks with a hydro-resistant black marker on your fluorescent fishing line. In this way, every time you can easily send the bait to the required distance from the boat and, accordingly, to the depth you are interested in.

What is needed, we will analyze in detail what remains to be done for our client, the nuances of choosing multiplier coils.

Choose reels with an iron body and drag, this will increase the life and reliability of your purchase. In most cases, duralumin alloys act as the metal. But plastic reels are a more economical option and it is necessary to prepare for the fact that such a multiplier will be smaller than the one made of aluminum.

These two types of brakes allow you to slow down the torsion of the drum from the moment of frisky spin-up at the moment of casting. If not for the brakes, the drum of the multiplier reel would spin faster than the fishing line comes off it - we would have got a beard, tangling the fishing line.

Spinning for beginners, collect spinning tie a leash

Magnetic braking built on braking a very rapidly rotating spool from childhood using small magnets. And this type of braking and centrifugal have to be adjusted manually depending on the duration of the project, what weight of bait you use.

centrifugal braking is controlled by another type of coils - small weights protrude from the center, which of course move from the center of the coil to the edges. At one time, a very frisky rotation of the coil by centrifugal force - they come out and begin to rub a special partition, beyond the set of such a factor, braking occurs at excess speed at the initial casting step.

mechanical brake- this is a manual type of brake (all reels have it), which should be used already at the end of the bait, when it touches the water. By applying a mechanical brake, the baitcasting reel responds to weak line release from the spool and brakes the reel in a more effective way for long casts.

The lack of a multiplier coil in such that when fishing with a bait of the 1st weight (for example, a jig head of 15 g), we need to set some options for centrifugal weights, in other words, magnets and set up a mechanical brake. Alas, when we put the bait in 25 g - the previous number of centrifugal weights will no longer be controlled with primary braking, we will have to put additional weights into operation and prepare for the casting distance to suffer.

If you are a beginner, start fishing with centrifugal or magnetic brakes very set, and only when you see that the brakes are very significant - turn off one pair of weights. This will prevent the appearance of a beard when casting. Successful casting with a multiplier reel comes with experience.

How to wind a fishing line on a spool

Left-handed multiplier reels are suitable for spinning anglers who are already accustomed to the spinning reel. Casting of any spinning rod takes place with the right hand and in order not to lose control over the process.

And in the beginning, the multipliers were produced only with right-handed inertial coils, which, after casting, are moved to the left hand, and the handle is rotated with the right hand.

Any reel has a small threshold for the length of the fishing line, its small and largest diameter.

If we can get acquainted with using a narrower line than indicated on the reel, there is a possibility that it will go into a small gap between the spool and the body. In particular, care must be taken with braided fishing line (it is usually much thinner than monofilament).

The largest diameter of the line is also important and is also indicated on the reel. Above the value that is written on the coil, it is not recommended to use it. This is all due to the problems of braking fishing line of very large diameters, braking is ineffective and injures the reel.

The presence of a line stacker is the main advantage of reel slots. It allows you to lay the line on the area of ​​the entire spool moderately, without creating humps and depressions, this favorably affects the durability of the line, the reel design itself and the casting distance.

Alas, there is one thing, however, the very presence of a line stacker reduces the casting distance by approximately 10-15%. This is all due to the very huge friction at the time when the fishing line came off the spool through the line laying machine. Some anglers even remove the line layer and, at the time of winding, lay the line by guiding it with their finger (performing the same movements that the line layer does), but the casting range is again at its best.

However, it is wiser to use a multiplier reel with a switchable line lay. It is turned off before casting by pressing a small switch. It is cut in the same way immediately after casting, when it is necessary to wind the fishing line.

And one more piece of advice. Choose spools with a clay eye (hole) in the line packer. Passing through it, the basket is not completely damaged, if the peephole is in the form of iron wires, the basket will cut through holes after a while. With the use of monofilament, there is no difference in the type of eye.

If you are familiar with inertialess reels, then when casting, you need to open the bail of the line stacker, cast by releasing the line with your finger. If you accidentally hit the shackle and with all this the reel works to close the spool, the spool will block, the line will not reel in and you can either lose the bait (line break) or get hit on the forehead with the same bait.

Baitcasting reels also have a spool lock and unlock system. Unlocking is done by pressing the switch, and unlocking is turned on by rotating the coil handle.

The number of ball bearings and the quality of the metal from which they are made play a big role in the durability of the reel and the smoothness of its movement. Because the reel drum is very small, and the gear ratio sometimes reaches 6 to 1, the spool speed becomes very high. To adequately withstand the load, the coil must have very strong ball bearings.

Do not use foreign lubricants, oils, only special for multiplier reels.

When you have purchased a multiplier reel and tested it in real life, the casting distance will be the same. Fish with it for several fishing trips, or rather the whole season, and you can see how the casting distance will become noticeably higher (right up to 15-20%). This is justified by rolling and reducing the friction of the multiplier coil mechanism.

But this rule is more effective for economical multipliers, as it is also called middle-class reels. High-quality premium multiplier reels do not require break-in and work properly from the first fishing.

Principle of operation

The spinning reel (hereinafter referred to as the BK or just the reel) is widely used in various types of fishing and today is considered the most common and versatile throughout the fishing world. In some English-speaking countries it is called "Fixed spool reel" - fixed spool reel. The reason for this name was the fact that in working condition the BC spool remains motionless - fixed.

In support of the above, it should be noted that when casting the bait, the line flies off the fixed spool and during the further operation of the reel: guiding the bait, playing the fish, etc., it also remains limited from rotation.
The winding of the fishing line is carried out by a line laying machine rotating around the spool in one plane.
Due to the reciprocating movements of the spool moving "back and forth" under the rotating stacker, the fishing line is wound not in one place, but along the entire length of the drum.

1. Friction brake control knob.
2. Timber roller.
3. Bracket lesoukladyvatel.
4. Spool.
5. Rotor.
6. Frame.
7. Reverse stopper.
8. Handle.

The line layer is a device mounted on the reel rotor through a folding mechanism, consisting of a line laying bracket and a guide roller, which provides winding of the fishing line on the reel spool.

The reel rotor together with the line laying machine is set in motion by rotating the handle with a certain gear ratio.
The line-laying bracket rotating around the fixed spool winds the fishing line stretched through the guide roller onto the spool, which carries out reciprocating movements "forward - backward".
The line guide roller, which has a bearing (preferably), ensures uniform and soft sliding of the fishing line, and the folding mechanism allows you to open and close the line guide bracket if necessary.

Such a constructive solution of "fixing the spool" saved the BC from many of the shortcomings of its predecessor -. The main of which was considered the moment of inertia caused by the rotational movement of the spool (drum) with fishing line, and which served as the reason for its frequent, arbitrary gatherings (“beards”). In order to implement this solution, it was necessary to turn the spool of the multiplier coil, which served as the prototype of the BC, by 90 degrees, while significantly changing the design of its drive.

friction brake

Spinning coils conventionally divided into coils with front and rear friction brakes. The friction brake, using the braking force, changes the amount of effort required to pull the line off the spool, thereby softening jerks and shocks when hooking and playing large fish. And also, it insures the reel mechanism from overloads, protecting the rod from breakage under critical loads, and the fishing line from breaking.
The location of the friction brake does not affect the functions of the BC, except that with the front brake the reel weighs less and has a smoother adjustment, and with the rear brake the spool is removed faster and easier.

In the reel with a rear brake (photo 2), instead of its regulator knob, there is a spool lock button, by pressing which it can be easily removed.

In the case of a front brake, to remove the spool, it is necessary to completely loosen the clutch by unscrewing and removing the knob of its regulator.

Reel spool is not always in a stationary state, its rotation is possible when a force arises that pulls the fishing line off it. In this case, it has the ability to rotate in the opposite direction. The friction brake holds the spool, blocking such rotation, and the pulling force of the fishing line depends on how tightly it is tightened.

Some state-of-the-art reels have a system that allows even with a fully applied brake to bleed the line at the maximum allowable load on it. Thus, protecting the BC, if it is used improperly, from overloads and damage.

By adjusting the friction brake, set the braking force so that it is one third less than the strength of the line used. If a line with 6.0 kg is used, then the friction brake is adjusted to the force at which it releases the line - 4.0 kg. If this rule is observed, the BC and the rod are subjected to less stress, which allows them to extend their service life.

Laying line on a spool

The laying of the fishing line in the BC is carried out by a line laying machine rotating around the spool and a spool feed mechanism that converts the rotational movement of the handle into a reciprocating movement of the spool.

A full cycle of spool movement "forward - backward" corresponds to two turns of the handle, under which in the first half of the cycle ("forward") the fishing line is laid in a spiral in one direction, and in the second ("back") - the next layer of the spiral lies cross on top of the first, in the opposite direction. In spinless reels, two types of spool feed mechanism are most commonly used. This is a mechanism with worm or crank - connecting rodtransfer:
1. worm gear called "endless screw"- the kinematic accuracy of the worm pair contributes to a more uniform spool feed, thereby improving the quality of the winding line.

2. crank gear using backstage called "locomotive"- some features of the mechanism do not always allow you to achieve the desired quality of laying the fishing line.

The rotational movement of the line stacker and the reciprocating movement of the spool are coordinated with each other by the reel mechanism. The unit of agreement is spool pitch- the length of its movement for one complete revolution of the rotor (coil), often called the "line laying step". The stacking pitch affects the distance between adjacent turns of the winding layer, and hence its density and shape.

Constant feed step throughout the entire cycle "forward - backward", provides a straight - cylindrical laying of the fishing line. Changing the pitch during the feed cycle allows you to get a shape (figure) of winding fishing line other than straight.
The figure shows three types of line laying on a cylindrical spool:

• standard cylindrical, it is also straight laying,
• laying with a straight cone,
• reverse cone laying.

-straight (cylindrical)- has a constant laying step,allows you to get straight profile (shape) of winding, which does not exclude spontaneous descent of the fishing line , a fact that does not interfere with the coil with this type of laying to be considered the most common and universal, with which all three types of winding shape can be obtained using spools of different configurations.Do not confuse the configuration of the spool with the type of line laying, in one case - the geometric shape of the spool, in the other - the shape of the line being laid. lines on it.

- laying with a straight cone- has a laying step increasing towards the side of the spool, allows you to get tapered line winding profile. Provides the farthest casting, while increasing the likelihood of spontaneous descent of the fishing line.

- reverse laying cone- has a step decreasing towards the side,allows you to get back-tapered line winding profile . Completely eliminates the spontaneous coming off of the fishing line, but at the same time, the casting distance of the bait is reduced.

In order to avoid "beards" coming off, it is necessary not to wind the line up to the edge of the edge, leaving 1.5 - 2.0 mm. An important requirement for an inertialess reel, regardless of the type of laying and the feed mechanism, is the quality of the winding of the fishing line - it must lie evenly over the entire surface of the spool, excluding wavy bumps, bumps and dips.

Spool profile types

All of the above line winding profiles,can be obtained with one coil with a straight (cylindrical) type of laying, while using interchangeable spools of different configurations.

In most cases, spools of the following geometric shapes are used:

- cylinder ("straight")

- cone ("cone")

- reverse cone ("reverse cone")

The cylindrical laying spool, thanks to the constant spool feed pitch, lays the line evenly and evenly over its entire surface, reflecting the spool configuration on the shape of the line being wound.

.

Freewheel size

In most cases, two digital signature options are used to indicate the size of a spinning reel:

Option 1 - the size increases from a smaller number to a larger one; from "1000" to "12000" with dimensional step "500", those. "1000", "1500", "2000", "2500", etc. It is indicated by large numbers on the spool of the reel. See Photo 3. For traditional ways of angling fish, the sizes of reels from "1000" to "5000" are generally used. Large reels, from "5000" and above, are used in gear for catching large fish from the shore, in cases where it is required to fit many meters of thick fishing line on the spool;

Option 2- size increases from left to right; from "020", "025", "030" and above with a dimensional step "005" .

The sizes of both options have a rough correspondence with each other. Size "1000" corresponds to size "020", "1500"-"025", "2000"-"030", etc. The size value serves to represent and compare the geometric (overall) dimensions of the reel, on which the weight, line capacity and power of the reel depend. Moreover, the dimension is relative, not having an exact standard, serving to represent and compare coils from one manufacturer.

For greater accuracy when comparing coils by size, it is necessary to take into account the name and model range of the coil. In Photo 3, the name of the coil is highlighted in red, and the model range is indicated by the letters "AH" in front of the digital signature "2000".

What size coil to take; "1000" - "thousander" or "2000" - "two thousand" depends on how you are going to use it, observing the requirement of "tackle harmony", taking into account the general a. With light rods of the classUltra Light (UL)use "thousanders" or "one and a half thousandths", for the class Light (L) recommended"one and a half thousand" or "two thousand", according to the principle, the more powerful the rod, the more capacious and powerful the reel.

Reel capacity is determined by the length of the monofilament line that can fit on the spool. Depends on the geometric dimensions of the spool, its diameter, length and depth of the profile. Using interchangeable spools of different depths on one reel, you can manipulate its line capacity and use different fishing lines.

Practically, all manufacturers of inertialess reels apply advisory markings on them in the format "mm/m" - line diameter/line length. For example, "0.18/240 0.20/200 0.25/140" means that coils can be wound on the spool 240 m fishing line with its diameter 0.18 mm. or 200 m lines with a diameter 0.20 mm or 0.25/140 respectively.

Coil Rotor Speed

The rotor speed is set gear ratio drive mechanism and the rate of rotation of the handle. The gear ratio is determined by the ratio of one revolution of the handle to a certain number of revolutions of the coil rotor. It is indicated on the spool of the reel with the word "Gear ratio" and the ratio of numbers. For example: "5.0:1" means that in one revolution of the handle, the rotor makes five revolutions; "3.6:1" - for one turn of the handle, the rotor makes three whole and six tenths of a turn.

When buying a bookmaker, it is very important to consider it. gear ratio, so - as the coils produced today have a large "range" of gear ratios, from 3.2:1 before 7.2:1 .

Despite the fact that all BCs seem to serve one common goal - catching fish, it is carried out in different ways and in different fishing conditions, taking into account which you should choose a reel. In this category, BCs have the following classification:

- low-speed (power)- gear ratio from 3.2:1 to 4.3:1. They are used for playing and catching large (strong) fish using large and heavy lures. As a rule, they have a metal spool of large capacity, are equipped with a powerful handle and a larger than usual line roller. The details of the mechanism are made of durable materials, ensuring the reliability and stability of the BC mechanism to loads. For reels of this type, slow wiring or trolling is preferred.

- universal- gear ratio from 4.5:1 to 6.1:1. They have a wide range of applications in different types and methods of fishing (bottom, match, Bologna, etc.), including spinning fishing. They are used for both slow and fast wiring, with lures of different sizes and weights.

- high-speed - gear ratio from 6.2:1 to 7.2:1. are used where fast line reeling is required: for some types of spinning wiring, when using light and soft ones with jig heads; in fishing methods requiring frequent casting of equipment and quick elimination of sagging fishing line. High-speed BCs have found sufficient application both in spinning and match fishing. When choosing a BC, it must be borne in mind that the length of the fishing line selected (wound) in one full turn of the handle depends on the gear ratio of the reel - a characteristic that has a serious impact on the bait wiring technique, especially.

Handle

Most models of spinning reels are equipped with push-button folding system, allowing it to be quickly folded by lightly pressing the button, and a screw mechanism for removing or rearranging the handle to the other side of the reel (photo 4). For these purposes, the BC has screw head, located on the opposite side of the handle, allowing you to effortlessly control the propeller.

In coils of high-speed models, a double handle is used or supplemented with a compensator (f from 5), d To prevent vibration associated with handle imbalance.

On some models of inertialess reels, there is no push-button system for folding the handle, and both functions (folding and rearranging the handle) are performed using a single screw mechanism, using which:

to fold the handle first loosen the screw, open or close the handle, then tighten it, fixing the handle in the desired position;

to change the handle coils, the screw is completely unscrewed, the handle is moved to the other side of the case, then the screw is inserted into the hole of the polyhedron and tightened until it stops.

Rotor backstop

Reverse spinning coil- the rotation of the rotor and the handle is considered, directed in the direction opposite to the working direction (winding the fishing line on the spool). Almost all spinning reels have a mechanism that can prevent the reverse rotation of the rotor and handle. He is called: "reverse stop" or "anti-reverse". When turned on, it blocks the rotation of the reel handle “toward itself”, preventing the rotor from turning in the opposite direction, thereby preventing the consequences associated with loosening of the fishing line during reel operation.

The mechanism of the reverse stopper is located inside the coil, and on the outer part of its body there is a lever that activates or disables the anti-reverse.
Many anglers, for brevity or unknowingly, this "lever - flag" - the reverse stop switch, is called the anti-reverse itself, and assigning it the loudest titles: " reverse stopper, "anti-reverse stop", "reverse latch" etc. , which misleads and confuses people mastering the fishing business.

The anti-reverse makes it possible to implement hooking fish with one hand, which is indispensable in float fishing and very convenient in spinning. The ease of use of the BC is not the main purpose of the backstop, its main task is to protect the reel mechanism from critical loads associated with jerks when playing, at the time of hooking a large fish, with a dead hook and other similar situations.

The design of the backstop mechanism has evolved from a "stepped stop" to an "instant anti-reverse".

Stepped backstop, is based on a multi-toothed ratchet gear, monolithic with a coil rotor. The bevelled teeth of the gear allow the spring-loaded lever of the handle to move along them in one direction and do not allow it to move to the other, resting against it during rotation.

Instant stop (anti-reverse) is an overrunning clutch made on the basis of a roller bearing. The disadvantage of the stepped stopper was the backlash of the handle, formed by the "free" zone between adjacent teeth of the ratchet gear. As a result, the stopper does not have the ability to work instantly, and the handle and rotor of the reel rotated at a certain angle - the “angle of free play”.
For this reason, sharp jerks when hooking a fish or a hook that is not much different from a bite cause serious shocks in the ratchet gear mechanism and lead to its premature failure.

The design of the instant backstop based on a freewheel using a needle bearing completely eliminated this disadvantage, which is especially evident when using low-stretch braided fishing line.

On spinning reels, the most common location for the backstop switch lever is on the top of the back of the housing. In addition to the standard location, on some models it can be located on the lower surface of the housing, in the area adjacent to the rotor.

When purchasing a spinning reel, pay attention to:

line rollermust be made of materials that are not easily abraded (stainless steel, brass or bronze with a corrosion-resistant hard-alloy coating) and it is desirable to have a ball bearing;

line roller stroke - with a match or a piece of paper folded in half, imitate the movement of the fishing line along the roller, make sure that it rotates easily, and the match or piece of paper does not slip along the fixed surface of the roller;

line guide bracket- open the bracket and shake the coil sharply, simulating a cast, it should not spontaneously close;

rotor stroke - spin the rotorcoils two or three quick turns of the handle and release it, pay attention to the duration of the rotation of the rotor and the handle without your help.By how long and freely they rotate under the influence of inertia, one can judge the course of the rotor. If the drive mechanism is not able to continue rotating by inertia or makes sounds of unknown origin during rotation, this indicates a difficult rotor move and it is better to refuse to buy such a coil;

handle travel- with a slow rotation of the handle, its course should be smooth, uniform, without jerks, shocks and extraneous sounds;

mechanism balancing - vibration of the coil is unacceptable during the rapid rotation of the handle;

spool play - transverse play is prohibited (in the direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation);

reel handle - its transverse play is highly undesirable. It is necessary to check the system of folding and rearranging the handle to the other side of the reel ;

number of bearings- at least 5 (marked "5 + 1" or "6" in the lower part of the coil body, under the spool or on it);

instant backstop - it is necessary to make sure that the mechanism for blocking the reverse motion of the coil is working. Tightly blockedrotation of the handle "on itself",with stopper on, indicates its correctness;

coil body- a visual examination of the coil body will help to identify possible defects on it (cracks, scratches, bumps).

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR SPINELESS COILS

In order to properly use the coil, carefully read these recommendations!

Spool. Filling the spool. Capacity. Removal methods.

Remove the spool and attach the line to it. To do this, unscrew the adjusting screw located in front of the spool or press the button located on the spool (for reels with a rear friction clutch). Open the line stacker. Place the spool on the axle and screw in the adjusting screw, or, after placing the spool on the axle, slowly turn it in either direction until the spool is in place (for rear drag reels). Don't use force. An indicator of the correct installation of the spool is the click of the spool lock. Close the line guide and start winding up the line. In order for the fishing line to be wound more evenly, the tension of the fishing line must be created. For the greatest convenience in operation, the maximum line laying height should be about 2 mm from the edge of the spool. The spool capacity of each model for different line diameters is indicated in the technical specifications. In order for you to use different types of fishing line, you need to have additional spools for the reels.

Anti-reverse. Ways and Purposes of application.

The anti-reverse prevents the reel head from turning in the opposite direction when winding the line. The anti-reverse is activated using a switch located at the back of the reel or at the bottom of the housing.

Brake adjustment.

The brake mechanism is adjusted using the adjusting screw located in the front or rear of the coil. The brake mechanism is designed to reduce the risk of line breakage in cases of sharp jerks or strong resistance of the caught fish. To adjust the brake mechanism, pass the line through the line guide and thread it through the rings located on the rod. Fasten the end of the line. Turn on anti-reverse. Set the rod at a 45 degree angle. Adjust the screw to set the required friction clutch threshold. If it reaches the limit, turn the brake adjuster at least a quarter of a turn back (counterclockwise). When adjusting the brake mechanism, do not apply excessive force, because. this can lead to breakage of the reel or rod.

Throw technique.

Take a rod with a pre-fixed reel wound on a spool and a fishing line passed through the rings (from the handle to the tip of the rod) and a bait attached to the free end of the fishing line in the right or left hand (depending on the subjective anatomical features of the angler). With the index finger of the same hand, press the line two or three centimeters from the line roller to the rod handle. Use your free hand to open the line laying bar. Before casting, visually verify that there is no bait on the intended flight path and its subsequent wiring. foreign objects, people and animals . The casting technique depends on a combination of many factors: the length of the spinning rod, the weight of the bait, the presence of obstacles in the casting zone, and so on. Therefore, it is based on the individual experience of the angler. After casting, depending on the type and conditions of fishing, reel in the lure. After completing the posting, perform the same sequence of actions until the end of fishing or until the capture of fish. Before going out on the water, if possible, consult with an experienced angler.

Care and Precautions.

Keep sand away from the rotating parts of the reel.

Keep the reel dry.

The warranty does not cover damage resulting from misuse or intentional or unintentional damage.

Good luck fishing!

Of course, every self-respecting angler should know how to use a spinning reel installed on his rod, what loads it is designed for, what can be expected from it in a given situation and how it needs to be set up for effective operation.

Due to their versatility, they are in high demand among different categories of fishermen, so manufacturers produce different models that can better meet their needs. Consider the most important nuances that need to be considered when operating inertialess.

Its device and important parameters

In order to better understand how to use a fishing reel, it is useful to know what it consists of, its structure and the main differences from other types of reels. You need to know that they are of three main types:

1. (the most simple and reliable mechanism).
2. This is a more complex mechanism that has much in common with inertial coils, but stands apart.

At the same time, it is important to understand that if you know well, for example, how to properly use a multiplier reel, or a standard inertial one, this does not mean that you will work just as well with an inertialess one.

Each spinner consists of the following main parts:

1. Frame, made in one piece with the mounting foot. Usually it is made of aluminum alloys or high quality plastic. It contains the elements of the main mechanism.
2. Rotor with a shackle of the line-laying device and a mechanism for its automatic folding. The main function is to wind the line on the spool.
3. Spool, where the volume of the fishing line is located. They are also made of aluminum alloys or high-quality abrasion-resistant plastic.
4. Rotating handle. With its help, the angler sets in motion the entire mechanism of the reel. Thanks to her, this type of coils is often called "meat grinders" by the people. They really do have a distant resemblance.

In addition, one can single out friction brake, which serves to regulate the load sufficient to rotate the rotor when hooking a large fish or when hooking. The adjusting screw of this mechanism on an inertialess reel can be located in front - from the end of the spool, or behind.

Expert opinion

Knipovich Nikolai Mikhailovich

Attention! You need to be very careful when initially winding the fishing line (braided cord) onto the spool of a spinning reel. The fishing line should lie evenly, without overlaps and mixing of layers, which often happens when it is excessively tensioned. This will allow you to produce better casts and wiring baits.

The main difference between this type of coils and inertial coils is that:

1. Main axis, on which the drum is fixed, in working condition is located parallel to the axis of the rod. For inertial coils and for multipliers - perpendicularly.
2. When casting bait line descends freely from the end of the fixed spool. There is no rotation of the drum, which means that there is no inertia force that usually occurs during rotation.

In addition to understanding the device and the principle of operation of the coil, it is important to know its main quality parameters, according to which the consumer features of each model are evaluated. They must be taken into account both when purchasing it in a store, and directly, when equipping and catching it. These options include:

1. mechanism. This parameter indicates the number of revolutions of the rotor during one full revolution of the handle. It is applied in the form of a ratio of certain numbers to the case, for example: 4.6:1, 5.3:1.
2. Number of bearings involved in the mechanism. The more of them, the more smoothly and stably the coil works.
3. Spool capacity. This characteristic is also indicated on the body and shows the amount of fishing line of a certain section for which it is designed. For example, the number 1500 indicates that this reel will place 100 m of 1.5 mm line on its spool.
4. The material from which the spool is made. In more expensive, professional models, these tend to be more durable and practical aluminum alloys.
5. Dimensions and weight of the coil.

It is important to know that according to the number indicating the capacity of the spool you can compare the power of different mechanisms. So, the reel with the designation 3500 is more powerful than the reel with the designation 3000, which means that it is designed for heavier tackle and catching stronger fish.

When fishing with spinning, this characteristic determines which rod it should be placed on for greater efficiency and harmony of tackle, light or heavier, and how to use the spinning reel.

Advantages and disadvantages of inertialess models

This type of fishing reel is rightfully considered the most common and easiest to operate, but they, like almost every mechanical design, have their strengths and weaknesses. Their strengths include the following:

1. Versatility. With the right selection of such a reel, you can effectively catch both the lightest and rather heavy lures.
2. Opportunity perform slow and fast wiring, quickly changing, if necessary, the pace.
3. High sensitivity. A properly tuned coil will allow you to react in time to any bite.
4. The presence of an adjustable friction brake. This in some cases allows you to save the tackle from the cliff.

The negative properties of such a mechanism include the following:

1. Enough complex structure requiring careful handling.
2. Perceptible line wear due to its intense friction on the sides of the spool during casting.
3. Significant price some models.

It should be noted that in recent years the quality and functionality of these coils has increased markedly, especially in the expensive segment.

Basic principles of using the coil

Before you start actively exploiting your coil, you need to do the following three steps:

1. Install it on the rod. It is important that after installation it is held as securely and tightly as possible, without play.
2. It is important that the top layer of the wound line does not reach the top edge of the spool bead by 1.5-2 mm, this will provide a more efficient, without delay, its coming off during casting.
3. Adjust friction brake mechanism. It should work before the line breaks.

After that, it can be used, making long-range and accurate casts, high-quality wiring of baits and reliable retention of hooked trophies on the hook.

After mastering the theoretical knowledge on how to use this type of spinning reel, you need to move on to practice as soon as possible. Particular importance at the initial stage should be given to the technique of correctly casting baits. The remaining elements of working with it (wiring technique, hooking, fish withdrawal) are learned later.

Expert opinion

Knipovich Nikolai Mikhailovich

Zoologist, hydrobiologist. I am a professional fisherman.

Attention! With any cast, you need to make sure that there are no strangers near you, whom you can harm with sharp hooks or fishing line. It is also very important to avoid when casting a hook on the surrounding trees, shrubs, etc.

Casting bait using coils of this type can be carried out in the following ways:

1. Over my head(vertically). This is the most amplitude, requiring a lot of free space above your head, method.
2. Horizontally, from the convenient side.
3. Rolling(pendulum).

Some anglers are still mastering the casting method according to the principle catapults, with a preliminary bend of the rod, but it is quite complex and not in demand.

The most popular is vertical casting.. It is both the most long-range and the most accurate, provided that the angler has mastered the technique of its implementation well enough. The algorithm for its implementation is as follows:

1. By turning the handle of the reel, you need to lower the bait 0.7 - 1.2 m from the tip of the rod.
2. We fold back the line laying bail and immediately fix the line with the index finger, pressing it to the rod in a convenient place next to the handle.
3. Next - carefully wind the rod behind your back.
4. We make a throw of the bait forward with the simultaneous release of the fishing line from fixation with a finger.

At the final stage of the cast, while the bait is flying towards the target, the tip of the rod should be in the right direction, preferably in line with the line. After landing the bait, you need to turn the handle of the reel to automatically return the line stacker to its working position.

Horizontal (side) casting it is done in almost the same way, but the retraction of the rod behind the back is carried out not in a vertical, but in a horizontal plane. This is necessary if, for example, tree branches are located on top, and there is free space on the side for the necessary manipulations.

pendulum casting often needed when fishing from a steep bank or from the side of a boat. It is done as follows:

1. We release the bait at 1 - 1.4 m from the tip of the rod, depending on its total length, the availability of free space and the required casting distance.
2. We recline the line stacker and fix the fishing line with your finger.
3. We swing the bait with a fishing rod and cast it, releasing the fixed fishing line in the upper part of its amplitude.

The bait with such a cast at the initial stage flies upwards, which allows experienced anglers, if necessary, to throw minor obstacles in its path.

After casting the bait, by rotating the handle of the reel in a certain rhythm, its wiring is carried out. At the same time, to give it the right game, the rod is manipulated.

When fishing on a spinning rod, the combination of the necessary wiring with different manipulations of the rod allows you to make very high-quality, effective wiring of lures.

Below we will watch a video on how to cast spinning lures:

A spinning reel deserves to be treated with respect. Even a very simple, budget model can, with proper handling, significantly expand your ability to catch different types of fish, both near the shore and at long distances, both from the shore and from the boat.

This note is the third part of the topic - float rod rig or summer float for beginners. The first part is "How to assemble a float rod", the second part is "How to fish with a float rod without a reel".

Float rod with running rig or wire rod

On a float rod with a reel, they are caught in water bodies with and without a current. A rod with a running rig allows you to make long casts. It is convenient for her to catch from low bridges, dams, from steep banks. The reel helps to quickly change the length of the line release and makes it easier to play big fish.

In addition, the reel makes it possible to use thin fishing line. This is especially important during the period when the fish becomes more cautious. In connection with the above qualities, a float rod with a running rig is ideal for fishing in wiring. Therefore, a float rod with a reel is often called - wire rod.

I don’t want to write about rings, I repeat, we are collecting an inexpensive fishing rod for a beginner. Quality rings only on expensive rods.

Which coil to choose? Two types of reels can be used for a wire rod - inertia and inertialess.

You can’t make long casts with a wire inertial reel, but you can let the float go further downstream, and you can also fish from a high bridge without any problems.

It is convenient to make long casts with a spinning reel, but it is more expensive, and cheap models often break down.

Think about whether you will make long casts or not. If long casts are not planned, then choose an inertial wire reel. I have both types. I mainly use the inertia-free one, it is more convenient, more versatile for fishing in different conditions. In general, look at your money.

For a wire rod, spinning reels need small ones. As an example, the Aqua "Weekend FD 200" reel (see photo below).

Float for wire rod

A fishing rod float can be used from a goose feather, which was discussed in a previous note. But the goose feather is very light, if we want to make a long cast, it will not work. And in the course, even if it is slow, a goose feather float is less stable than a spindle-shaped one. For a wire rod, I recommend spindle-shaped floats.

If you plan to fish at a depth of more than 1.5 m or make long casts, I recommend using a sliding spindle float. The float moves freely along the line up and down, and the stopper (depth adjustment) is a piece of rubber located above the float.

When casting, the float is near the weights. This makes casting much more convenient than if the float were at the tip of the rod. When the nozzle touches the water and starts to descend, the float will remain on the surface of the water, and the fishing line will run until the stopper hits the float ring.

In the diagram above, the sliding float is attached at one point. But there are sliding floats that are attached to the fishing line at two points.

A piece of rubber, which we have as a stopper, can be put on a fishing line using an ordinary needle. You insert a fishing line into the eye of the needle, and then you pierce through a piece of gum. Everything, a rubber stopper on a fishing line. By the way, you can also use a cambric or nipple (gum) as a stopper. In order to be able to fix the position on the fishing line, a match broken in size is inserted into the cambric (or nipple gum).

The adjustment of the balance of the float, about the shepherd and the leash, I wrote in the previous part.

Technique for casting a bait with a float rod with a reel

As in the technique of casting a float rod nozzle without a reel (see part 2), I recommend for beginners to cast in the "pendulum" type.

1) They take a rod in the right hand, and a hook with a nozzle in the left. At the same time, at the inertialess reel, we move the bow (line catcher) and presses the line with the index finger to the rod. The rod is held approximately parallel to the water. The tip of the rod is directed to the place where we are going to put the nozzle, or a little to the left.

2) Now let go of the nozzle and raise the tip of the rod. I recommend making it shorter. So the nozzle will get "acceleration" and fly much further. As soon as the nozzle is in front of the tip of the rod, we release the fishing line, which was pressed with the index finger (see photo above).

3) When the nozzle goes down, push the bail (line catcher) of the reel into place.

The depth must be adjusted empirically, if the float is not "worth it", then we make the distance from the stopper to the hook less. In general, the depth of fishing is selected taking into account the habits of the fish.

Technique of wiring on the current when fishing on a float rod with a reel

When fishing in the wiring, the nozzle is constantly in motion. The rod has to be kept in hand all the time. The wiring can be caught in water bodies without a current and in a current. In this note I will write a method for fishing with a wire rod in a weak current. The method of wiring in still water is not considered here.

You throw the nozzle upstream. As the float has passed all the allowed path, you recast the nozzle again. With the help of a reel, you release or reel in the fishing line, thereby adjusting the distance of movement of the float and nozzle. You can fish both in half-water and on the bottom. In the second case, the nozzle is dragged along the bottom, when the fish grabs the nozzle, the float immediately sinks.

At this moment, you need to immediately cut, otherwise, feeling the resistance of the float and sinker, the fish spits out the nozzle. It happens that the nozzle, dragging along the bottom, stumbles upon an obstacle and the float also sinks. In this case, a false bite is observed, this happens often, this is normal.

I recommend using a leash (I wrote about it in a previous note, see the second part), since this barrier may turn out to be a branch, there will be a hook and you will have to tear off the hook. When there is a leader, you will lose only the hook and the shepherd. Without a leash, there is a risk of losing all equipped fishing line. When hooked, it is better to pick up the fishing line and pull it.

When you catch in half water, it happens that the float does not immediately sink when biting. Here you have to wait a bit. He can "jump" a little and then go under water or to the side. As soon as the float begins to sink or "leave" away from the intended trajectory of movement, immediately hook and pull out your trophy.
