Fishing. ... For many, this is not just a vacation, but a whole ritual. Some willingly fish, others hold feasts in nature near the shore of a picturesque rivulet. Be that as it may, lovers of this type of relaxation are darkness.
In this article I want to consider one very interesting type of gear - a sliding float. This device is very popular. The fact is that with the help of this equipment you can fish without any difficulties at a depth of up to 10 meters. In this case, the casting of the fishing rod is carried out easily and naturally. The float itself is located at a distance of one meter from the hook during the cast. Due to its design, the load with the hook sinks to the bottom, and the sliding float remains in place. The fishing line passes through two rings that are attached to the float and are locked with clamps when the bait is at the desired depth. Most often, in the form of clamps, beads are used from lead, or they simply make small nodules on the vein. Let's talk in more detail about the device gear.
So, the float itself is attached using a swivel. This device performs an anti-rotation function. On the sides of the device are fixed stoppers - lower and upper. Using the first float does not slip onto the leash. The upper latch allows you to control the lowering of the bait to the required depth.
Now there are many types of gear for fishing on a standard fishing rod. In any situation, a sliding float must be selected for each case individually. One thing to know: the attachment point of the float must be unchanged. This will give three advantages during fishing. Firstly, easy casting. Secondly, a quick replacement of the float itself. Plus, there is a high sensitivity to bite. Move on. Any float, including a sliding one, must be loaded for normal operation. To do this, fix 4-6 lead pellets under the lower locking unit of the gear (about 75% of the weight of the whole load). Then comes the intermediate load (1-2 pellets are mounted in the middle between the top and bottom of the float). The so-called sub-reserve - the lower load - is attached, as a rule, to the bottom of the main vein.
If we talk about the structure, the sliding float is equipped with a long "antenna" with a small piece of polystyrene. The only difference is how the design of the above elements is made. The choice of fishing line must be taken seriously. The best option is to use a high-strength vein, the diameter of which is not more than 0.2 millimeters. The thing is that the "thick" fishing line will hardly pass through the rings on which the sliding float is attached. This in turn will make the tackle unusable at great depths. Mention should be made of the locking assembly by which the sliding float will function correctly. There are many types of knots for this gear. However, the most elementary and practical option is the G8, which is familiar to everyone. This knot is easily untied and has high strength.
Well, now a little about the types of floats of this type. Rest for body and soul - fishing. A bobber is a tackle, without which fishing with an ordinary fishing rod is simply impossible. So, the moving indicator of biting can be divided into two types. The first species is characterized by a longitudinal vein pass inside the float itself. This is an ideal device for fishing in bodies of water with minimal flow. Another view, you guessed it, is floats with ears, which act as fixtures of the entire structure. This type of gear is indispensable for deep sea fishing. Due to the simplicity of its design and practicality, a sliding float is very popular.
Catch, fish, big and small!
