How to choose a pilker?
In order for the lure for Admiral zander (photo of the bait in the article) to be as effective as possible, it should be correctly selected. Experienced fishermen recommend that beginners turn their attention to the following nuances:
- Before going to the pond, it is advisable to know the weather forecast. If there is a strong wind or rain, the water will become very muddy. Therefore, it is better to take a shiny nozzle with you. Fish can easily see it even in very muddy waters. However, too catchy spinners of an underwater predator can alert. As a result, this will negatively affect the catch.
- If the weather is clear, then it is advisable to fish with frosted pilkers. Judging by the reviews, spinners are considered to be very catchy, on the surface of which there is an imitation of fish scales.
What to take on ice fishing?
According to experienced fishermen, in winter, the fishing process has its own characteristics. Therefore, in order to choose the right winter baubles for Admiral zander, you should be guided by several rules:
- If the depth of the reservoir is not more than 4 m, then it is better to take baits that have a shallow shape. Due to the fact that they are relatively wide and weigh a little, a long dive is not typical for them.
- In a pond with a depth exceeding 4 m, they are fishing with baits, which sink quickly to the bottom. With the weighty winter lure “Admiral” it will be easier to find the depth where the fish is deployed.
- If the fisherman was going to fish in the wintering pit, then he needs to get some heavy and narrow baubles. In such a place, experts say, a sluggish game, which such models are capable of providing, is more appropriate.
- For a river with a very strong current, large pilkers are suitable.
How to use?
Those who do not know how to fish using the Admiral spinner, experts recommend the following. This method of fishing is considered the most common. First, the bait must be lowered to the bottom. Then the bait is lifted 40 cm and the coil is fixed in this position. After the tackle you need to raise another 50 cm. For this purpose, it is enough to make a small swing with a fishing rod. After completing this action, the fisherman pause for 5-7 seconds. If the fish does not bite, then the lure must be lowered back to the bottom, and then raised again by 70 cm. Next, a short pause is held. Judging by the reviews, zander at these moments, namely, when the bait is immobilized, bites most often. If this does not happen, the fisherman needs to repeat his actions. Posting is initially fast, then the pace slows down a bit. The fisherman will have to determine the speed of posting on his own. In this case, factors such as the activity of a water predator, the presence of underwater obstacles and currents should be taken into account.
What else can be done?
If the first method did not bring the expected result, you can use two more, more about which below. After the spinner is lowered to the bottom of the pond, it is raised by one meter. So that it does not move, the forest is fixed by means of a coil. Next, several strokes should be made so that the lure lifted another 20 cm. According to experienced fishermen, six strokes will be sufficient, after which the tackle sinks back to the bottom. While it will be immobilized, the pike perch, most likely, will bite. After waiting a few seconds, the pilker slowly lead up. Judging by the reviews, this method is most effective in reservoirs with a sandy or pebble bottom. There is also another fishing option. Its essence is to give the pike perch more time to bite. The procedure begins with determining the depth of the reservoir. Next, the bait is lowered to the bottom, lifted and fixed with a coil so that the pilker is located exactly in the middle of the water column. Then they begin to show off, namely, lowering and lifting, so that the underwater predator drew attention to the pilker and attacked him. This procedure will take no more than half an hour. If during this time the pike perch has not pecked, you should change tactics. The spinner should not be raised to the middle of the reservoir, but only one and a half meters from the bottom. Experts advise not to focus on one point, but try to fish in several places.
Finally
Judging by the numerous reviews, just a few baubles will be enough for effective fishing. It is important to skillfully select them, taking into account weather conditions and the characteristics of the reservoir. If you managed to find a parking lot where zander is stationed, then a good bite will be provided.
