Whoever and whatsoever tells you about spinning rods, but often the first one is acquired from the calculation: to train, give up, and then buy something more expensive, more efficient and more solid for a certain number of thousands of rubles.
This looks quite natural, as, for example, with the first car for some motorists. First you need to learn how to drive normally, so you buy a car that is not too expensive, albeit a heavy one, so that it would not be a pity if you scratch or, God forbid, hit, but not break too much. So the spinning "Crocodile", I think, from the same category. It is most suitable for beginners to love spinning fishing.
Spinning Crocodile
So, before you, one can say, a worthy option for a person who has not yet picked up a tackle suitable for his tasks, desires and capabilities. When he is just starting to engage in spinning fishing, the acquisition of such a 2-folding Crocodile will seem to him an ideal option. Initially, this tackle attracts with its irresistible power and a very affordable price (the cost in online stores ranges from 250 to 600 rubles, depending on the model).
Spinning Crocodile. Characteristic
The test, no doubt, is surprising: from 100 to 250 grams. Yes, with such a test, you can hunt for a shark, as well as throw a heavy lure over a long distance! The length of the 2-section plug rod seems optimal: 240-270 centimeters. It has strong rings. Its weight is just over 400 grams, the system is fast, the material is fiberglass. It seems that everything promises to do fishing, if not catchy, then at least educational, which means effective and enjoyable.
Underwater rocks
Only a little later, when you go fishing, you will learn by experience: this "stick" -spinning "Crocodile" is not very suitable for hunting, for example, not too big perch or average pike, and wiring is not felt at all.
Yes, and a hand with a habit gets tired so that you don’t want anything (and can’t) take it. And the rings for the woods, it turns out, are a complete “not that”, and this is still mildly said. As a result, the Crocodile spinning after several such fishing trips can expect several options for the future.
First: give it to a friend who is fond of feeder fishing. And he will really like this tackle, since you can catch a true fishing trophy on it - a carp or a carp of solid weight. The second: to leave yourself to be safe or reorient yourself to perform other tasks. Third: if you, of course, are completely disappointed in this course of events, leave dusting in the pantry or in the attic until better times.
What is the best way to use Crocodile?
And yet, and yet ... This democratic spinning "Crocodile" has, in our opinion, its own right to exist and may be interesting in its own way. It is even very useful for some types of fishing. Which ones? Let's get it right. Here and the aforementioned feeder fishing. Often tackle is used as a deaf donka. It is used for catching large carp and even catfish.
Of course, one can object: a club - and in Australia a club. But, in our opinion, it is still not worth removing the Crocodile spinning (see photo above) out of sight. Indeed, for such a price, there is practically no alternative to it. In addition, there are "crocodiles" and with a smaller test.
Let this tackle be tough and very heavy, which is reminiscent of the old Soviet titanium spinning rods, but on the other hand, it is very strong, one might say, increased, kondovoy reliability. Crocodile is also suitable for fishing on a heavy feeder, theoretically it can be used for boilies, however, there may be problems with the length of the rod itself. Predatory fish is not too large, of course, inconvenient to catch because of the stiffness. And you will not throw far bait (lure), and the bite is badly felt. In general, the verdict is this: everything is too narrow-minded in application. Well, or you can take it as training equipment for a beginner spinning.
