It is not always possible to find high-quality large bloodworms for winter fishing. It happens that right before fishing, frozen stocks run out, or in stores before the weekend, more successful anglers bought up all the bloodworms. In this case, you will be helped out by the bait for winter fishing - jigs.
It is necessary
- - jigs of different types;
- - fishing line;
- - winter gear
Instructions
Step 1
If you catch perch or roach on the first ice, mask the holes with snow, straw or reeds so that the fish is not afraid to approach the bait, because the ice is still transparent at this time.
Step 2
Equip the fishing rod with jigs. Usually, for winter fishing, double tackle is used - with two jigs. One should be heavier than the other. At the end of the fishing line, tie a heavy jig, and the second, light one, 25 centimeters higher than the first. Please note that the jigs are approximately the same color, not lighter than each other. In order to feel the bite on the jig, the nod at the rod must be very sensitive.
Step 3
Lower both jigs into the holes to the bottom, then gradually pull them up. The bite most often occurs when the jigs are lifting from the bottom.
Step 4
Do not strike too sharply so that the line will not break or the jig will not slip out of the fish's mouth. The best sweep is a short upward sweep of the hand. After catching, immediately raise the rod smoothly, controlling the resistance of your trophy.
Step 5
If you come across a large fish, carefully monitor its movements, do not let go to the side or to the bottom, with all your actions, direct the fish to the hole. The main task is to keep the line taut at all times.
Step 6
As soon as the head of the fish appears above the hole, grab it under the gills and throw it onto the ice. If you have a hook, use it. If the fish is so large that it does not go into the hole, call a friend for help. Let one of you hold the fish with a hook, and the other will widen the edges of the hole so that you can get the long-awaited trophy.
