There are a huge variety of jig heads, each of which is designed for a specific type of fishing. The head "ball" is considered universal ", and the" ski "is adapted for hunting asp.
Instructions
Step 1
A jig head is a sinker with a hook, which has a certain shape and is intended for fishing with a special bait. Jig fishing is used by fans of bottom spinning fishing, preferring to fish in the cold season, from late autumn to early spring. What jig heads are there?
Step 2
Jig heads are, in fact, heavy jigs, equipped with a ring in the upper part and a special lock on the hook, which prevents the soft bait from sliding and turning over. The latch can be in the form of a thorn (needle), ball and other elements. If you plan on using a hair, feather, or rubber-filamentous body, then choose a ball lock. It is more comfortable and does not tear the bait, in contrast to the spike.
Step 3
There are many types of jig heads, both separate and combined options. Some include "lentils", "ball" and "field". Consider its weight when choosing a single or combined jig head. It affects the depth of the drive and the casting distance. If you want to create an additional game with the help of the head, stop at the "excavator" and "swing". They vibrate slightly when guiding, forcing the soft bait to move. Streamlined compact loads do not create additional movement, but they fly far and are more comfortable at depth and current. These include ball, banana and spoon weight heads.
Step 4
The depth of the bait depends on the inclination of the front part of the head. Keep in mind that the "digger" will go much deeper than usual, as it is pushed down by the nose blade. But the "swinging" and "ski" models will go higher. You will notice this with even guiding and light heads. There are also special "non-hook" baits. In the models “rocking”, “spoon”, “rugby”, “horseshoe”, “boot”, “vanka-vstanka” and others, the hook when falling to the bottom rises vertically and hooks much less often than others, especially when a stepped bottom wiring is used. Models with a sweeping (elongated) shape with a ring in the bow easily avoid obstacles. These include ski, banana, and spoon. Side wing heads such as rugby and horseshoe are protected from lateral snagging, especially in the current.
Step 5
Balanced heads with the line ring in the middle of the load, just above the center of gravity, are used for stepped guidance, especially when fishing at depth. Such lures move forward with some inclination, and when stopped at high speed and almost vertically fall down. Unbalanced heads are used for even guidance, although some models of these heads are ideal for fishing in shallow areas and even fishing overhead. The latter concerns the "ski" model, which, due to the shift of the center of gravity back, is carried upward during fast retrieval and allows you to hunt for asp.
Step 6
If you want to additionally create light and sound play, as well as increase drag, choose the "horse head" jig head. Choose weights in the form of a larva or a fish head for fishing with a vibrotail, and the bullet and ball heads are suitable for twisters. Take "boot", "horseshoe" and "vanka-vstanka" with you to the bottom fishing. They are especially good for perch and pike perch fishing.
