A fisherman and a fisherman are different concepts. A fisherman is a shop worker, a link in the chain of a common conveyor belt, performing a highly specialized task. A fisherman is a profession. And the fisherman is a man of art and passion. Fishing is also a sport.
Fishing is one of the most widespread human passions and everyone can do it! In the ranks of avid fishermen you can find representatives of literally all ages: these are still very young boys and adolescents, middle-aged men and women - all kinds of people in their prime and ancient elders …
The main tool of a fisherman is a fishing rod, which is used to fish. The primitive oud consists of a hook with a sinker and a string (scaffold). For a long and more accurate casting of a hook with a nozzle, the tackle is supplied with a rod - a light and flexible rod, which was originally a flat branch of a tree. According to the device and method of fishing, fishing rods are divided into two main classes: float and non-float. On float rods, the time and nature of the bite is determined with the help of a bright float, which also regulates the depth of fishing. If it is impossible to use a float - for example, in a strong current - a float-free tackle is used. The moment of hooking the fish in this case is determined by touch manually or by other additional methods.
The absence of a float on a floatless rod determines the fishing technique with such a tackle. The inability to set a certain depth of the baited hook with the help of a movable float leaves the only acceptable option - fishing from the bottom. For this reason, float-free fishing rods are also called donks. As already noted, bottom (non-floating) fishing rods are used in the current, where the float will dive, sink all the time and with its irregular movements will only confuse the angler. In such a situation, the float becomes not only useless, but also interferes. An experienced angler determines the moment of bite by trembling and characteristic deflection of the sensitive rod tip. If the tackle is without a rod, such as a zakidushka, a bell fixed on the forest will let you know about the bite. A suspended twig, which will shake, a lump of adhered coastal soil, which will subside when biting, notifying the fisherman, can serve as a signaling device.
Today, a non-melting bottom tip with a heavy sinker at the end is widely used on a spinning rod with a spinning reel. With such a tackle, you can make long and accurate casts even behind a wall of aquatic vegetation, fishing for fish caught on a hook in the same way as when fishing with trolleys and other artificial baits.
