One of the varieties of silicone lures popular with anglers is the twister. Fishing for predatory species of fish, such as pikeperch or pike, is sometimes simply impossible without the use of this gear. The twister is very difficult to confuse with other silicone baits. It has a specific ribbed body and an easily recognizable curved single or double crescent-shaped tail. With its appearance, it often resembles worms, loaches and frogs. During posting, the mentioned bait performs wave-like movements, which attract the attention of the fish.
Varieties
When catching predators, you need to use all the variety of such a practical bait as a twister. Fishing, as a rule, always takes place in different conditions and in different water bodies, therefore it is worth exploring all the options for the gear in question.
- Classic twister. This is an ordinary "worm" with a long crescent tail. This bait is the progenitor of everyone else. In popularity and subtlety she knows no equal
- Scallop. A modernized version of the classic twister. When wiring, it creates more powerful vibrations.
- Loach. It has a pronounced dorsal fin. From this type of twisters, you can make an excellent “unhooked”.
- Frog. It has a brighter and more voluminous game, as it has two tails.
Dimensions
What else is interesting for fishing on a twister? Fishing on this bait can be effective both when fishing for ordinary perch, and when hunting for large pike. The main thing here is to correctly determine the size of the mentioned gear. Universal are considered models with a length of 6 to 10 cm. Almost all predators willingly go to them. For trolling, larger baits can also be used, from 10 to 20 cm. Well, for sea fishing, spinningists use twisters up to 35 cm in size.
Lure color
Does the color design of the twister bait matter? Fishing can be carried out both in clean calm lakes and in rivers with poor visibility in the water. Therefore, we can confidently say that the color of the bait plays a significant role. This is also important in various weather conditions. On cloudy days, it is best to take bright, even poisonous colors, and in sunny weather, give preference to dark options. The most popular among spinners are yellow, red, orange and white. Well, the leadership is held by golden and silver silicone lures.
Fishing on a twister: posting technique
Using silicone baits for catching predators, it is best to use a stepwise wiring technique.
At the same time, the twister needs to be driven unevenly, with small stops and jerks. This is not difficult to do. After completing a few revolutions of the handle of the coil, pause for a couple of seconds. Let the twister sink a little to the bottom. Then, having made a jerk, again scroll a few revolutions of the coil. Repeat these simple steps until the bait “reaches” the shore. Such posting best provokes fish to bite. Based on the experience of using this gear, we can conclude that there is nothing better for catching predators on the river than a twister. Fishing, do-it-yourself fish fishing and, of course, the excitement of bites will not leave anyone indifferent. Well, an ear from a pike or pike perch caught on a silicone bait will complete a pleasant time spent on the shore of a reservoir.
