Fishing is a great chance to have a good time. As the ancient philosophers said: "The gods do not consider time spent on fishing." Therefore, in order for fishing to succeed, you must take care of the gear in advance.
Among the many fishing methods and snap combinations, the most popular is the classic floater.
How to equip a fishing rod?
A fishing rod is the easiest to manufacture and snap. After all, there is nothing superfluous that can complicate the process of fishing for a beginner.
Before equipping a fishing rod, you need to get at least a little idea of what kind of fish you will catch and what are the conditions for fishing. The selection of equipment depends on this. For example, if you plan to catch a small or medium fish, then gear is necessary to use more delicate.
Which rod to choose for float fishing?
There are several options for fishing rods: Bologna and fly-fishing.
Fishing on Bologna rods involves casting equipment with a reel. In this method, fishing rods are used on average 3.5–4.5 m long. The casting distance is provided by the inertialess reel.
Fly rods provide a blank tool. All gear is attached to the end with a special loop. The length of such rods in the classic version is 5-8 m. This allows you to make fairly long casts without the use of coils. Before equipping a fly fishing rod, it is advisable to choose the length of the rod itself for the fishing place: fish in a clean place - choose a genuine way. Conversely, fish in the bushes - take it shorter.
What you need for snap
- Fishing line with a diameter of 0.15 to 0.2 ml. Pick it according to the estimated size of the fish.
- Float. There are many types of floats: for current, for stagnant water, against the wind, night floats. Pick them based on fishing conditions.
- Sinker (depending on the float).
- Hooks (the size depends on the bait and the fish you are hunting).
If the choice is stopped on a fly fishing rod - a logical question arises, how to equip a fishing rod without rings. In this case, a special loop is built into the tulip of the rod for tying fishing line. The strength of this loop is much higher than that of the fishing line, so you do not need to worry about the loop breaking.
Tips for beginner anglers
If you are just starting to join a close family of anglers, it is important for you to know how to equip a fishing rod.
- The first and most important thing is to choose the right line length. If the tackle is deaf, you will not have the opportunity to cut the fishing line during the fishing process, and its excess length or shortening significantly complicates the fishing process. It is considered optimal when the fishing line is 15-20 cm longer than the rod - this ensures maximum fishing comfort.
- How to equip a fishing rod if there are no rings? You can attach it yourself, if without them you have problems with assembling gear. An additional set of rings is purchased, and with the help of special glue they are mounted on the spod. But so we move away from the classic flywheel. There are some anglers who, having acquired a fishing rod without rings, immediately mount the latter, motivating them to be so comfortable to reel and unwind tackle. Although it’s quite simple to wind a snap on a removable reel at the end of fishing.
- Choose the length of the rod, fishing line, hooks for certain fishing conditions.
- For quick replacement of equipment, you can make workpiece gear (fishing line with a hook and a float). This will save valuable fishing time. It will only be necessary to attach new equipment to the rod.
