The choice of gear is a real science, especially when it comes to spinners. There are many varieties of such lures. For many types of fishing, spinners are used. They need to be selected correctly. This will help reviews of experienced fishermen. The characteristics and overview of this type of spinners will be discussed in detail below.
Lure Features
Spinners appeared on the shelves of specialized stores for a relatively long time. They gained popularity due to their versatility and unheard of subtlety. Today, this type of lure is also in demand. He was a little squeezed by wobblers and other similar products of the new generation. However, they are not able to cross out the turntables (as the people call the spinner of the rotating type) from the lists of popular lures.
Predatory fish reacts actively to such gear. The spinner game makes her attack. So predatory fish, thanks to its instincts, gets on the hook. Turntables are used by both experienced, professional fishermen and beginners. This is due to the ease of use of the bait with its high catchability.
There are many varieties of spinners. They differ in weight, size, shape, etc. For various fishing conditions, you can choose the best option. It is important to know how the bait behaves at one depth or another, during flow or in still water.
The design of such products is quite simple. It is a petal with rounded corners. It is made of metal. The shape may be almost round or more elongated. Using a special small clamp, the petal is attached to the shaft. You can attach the lure without it. In this case, the fixation is made through the hole drilled in the petal.
The core can be closed with a special core. It creates additional volume, attracting with its appearance a predator. In the process of fishing under the influence of a stream of water, the structure begins to rotate around the core. Such a movement attracts fish, provoking it to commit an attack.
Depending on the shape of the lobe during wiring, the deflection angle and frequency of rotation are determined. Depending on the characteristics of the movement, such tackle attracts different types of fish.
Benefits
When choosing a spinner for a predator, you need to consider the advantages of this type of bait. Turntables are easy to use. You can conduct uniform wiring, which will attract the interest of fish. Even a novice fisherman will cope with this task. Professionals add small pauses when posting. As a result, the movement of the bait becomes intermittent and uneven. It gives good results. These turntables are significantly superior to wobblers. In order to learn how to correctly complete the wiring last, you need to train a lot. Spinner does not require preparation. She shows high results even in the hands of a beginner. Wiring baubles can be different. Wobbler requires an individual approach to the development of his game on the water.
It is also worth saying that the cost of the spinner will be much lower than that of jig baits, wobblers. Moreover, the quality of the listed gear is almost identical.
Spinner can be used even with inexpensive monoleska. If a wobbler is used, such a thread is not suitable. She will be very stretched. When posting, the spinner maintains the same line tension. This significantly increases its life. In this case, the constant tension of the fishing line provides high sensitivity gear. The fisherman feels every movement of the spinner underwater. If there is a spinner, the fishing line will be reeled up qualitatively. She will not be confused.
The predator feels and hears the vibrations of the spinner at a great distance. This is causing her interest.
Rotation angle
Spinner is available with different performance characteristics. One of the important indicators is the angle of rotation of the bait. It can be different. The spinner with a small rotation angle (up to 30º) emits a vibration that resembles the movement of a fry. She's pretty weak. The buoyancy of such baits is small. Similar structures are used in still water and in the course.
The average rotation angle is 45º. These are the most versatile lures. This type of design behaves equally well with different styles of wiring. It can be used when fishing on the stream or in still water. If wiring is carried with the flow, the petal does not stick. It rotates stably around its axis. When posting against the tide, the spinner is characterized by some resistance. At the same time, it can be slightly lifted by the main stream. Such bait imitate both fry and insects.
The loudest are considered baits with a large rotation angle (from 60º). They have significant resistance to flow. If fishing is carried out at depth, the spinner will take place only a few centimeters from the bottom. If caught on a jet, the spinner will quickly drift. Using the bait against the current, we can expect that it will strongly resist the flow. Even a small spinner of this type will attract a predator that is far away from it. Vibration in the water that will be created during wiring will be carried far away in all directions of the reservoir.
To determine visually what angle this or that spinner has is simple. The more elongated and narrow the petal is the bait, the smaller its rotation angle. Oval spinners have an average rotation angle, and round ones have a large angle.
Weight and size
On sale are different sizes of baubles. Meps (one of the most famous companies engaged in the production of such baits) proposed marking the size with numbers from 0 to 5. The smallest baits are characterized by a size of 00 or 0. Large baits can have a size of 4 or 5. Many manufacturers adhere to the classification proposed by Meps and indicate the size on the same system.
It is very important to choose the right weight. Usually, the larger the size of the bait, the more it weighs. Light spinner rises closer to the surface of the water during wiring. Therefore, such baits are used for fish that hunt in the upper or middle layers of the reservoir. Light spinners cannot be thrown too far. It is used for near fishing. If you want to perform long casts, you need to choose the right form of bait. It should be compact in this case. The smaller the rotation angle, the further the baubles will fly. In this case, it will sink deeper.
Some predators prefer to hunt near the bottom. Therefore, baits with a lower rotation angle are chosen for these purposes. It is also necessary to take into account the strength of the current. If you want the lure not to be carried by the current, it is better to choose heavier designs. Also, some predators prefer small baits, while others, on the contrary, are voluminous and with large dimensions.
There are also various weights that are used for spinners. They can be fixed in front or behind a petal. It also creates a specific game of bait.
Manufacturer's Reviews
To choose the best turntable, you need to consider customer reviews about different manufacturers. The choice of type of baubles depends on the characteristics of the reservoir. From the correct choice of design depends on its subtlety. The leadership in this direction is held by Japanese companies. Their spinners are quite expensive. However, the quality and subtlety of Japanese models remains high. French, German and Finnish manufacturers are not far behind their Asian competitors. They also market many quality models. With caution, it is worth purchasing spinners from China. Often they cannot boast the same quality as the leading manufacturers.
Each well-known company has several popular models. They differ in certain qualities. Meps spinners are very popular today. This is a French company that has developed many catchy turntables. The most popular models today are Aglia Long, Lusox, Comet, Aglia.
Universal spinners of the presented type are produced by Deva, Lukris. If necessary, weights can be attached to them. In this case, it will be possible to catch deep-sea sections of a river or lake.
Popular low-speed models are Piker, Super Vibrax. They are characterized by stable performance. Also, at a minimum wiring speed, the Ponton 21 spinner works without failures. This allows you to catch different horizons.
Brands such as Panter, Martin are made with 2 petals. This allows you to use them for catching large pike. In this case, the bites of a small predator will be nullified.
Pike fishing
Considering reviews of spinners, it should be noted that professionals recommend certain turntables for catching a particular fish. Often such bait is used for fishing for pike. They are used from spring to autumn. Especially catchy such gears become in the summer.
If fishing is carried out in a large body of water, you cannot do without a turntable. Only she is able to attract a pike to a fishing spot from a great distance. Such a bait is able to provide a good bite even in adverse conditions, for example, at noon, when the water becomes warm. A pinwheel can arouse pike interest.
The choice you need to start with the size of the baubles. So, for a small or medium pike, turntables of size 3 or 4 are suitable. The baubles with a wide petal are best suited for these purposes. Its length should be 4-7 cm. The wiring should be slow. In this case, the petal will not play too hard. Such bait movements are most attractive to pike.
Spinner on the pike must be used correctly. Wiring should be very slow. In this case, light models are used when fishing from the shore in shallow water. At the same time, loading is not needed. The same principle applies if the vegetation in the water is significant. If possible, you can unfasten the load from the baubles.
Pike perch fishing
When choosing the best spinners, you need to take into account the peculiarities of fish behavior. A resident of the deep sections of water bodies is zander. Other turntables that are not similar to pike models will be required to catch it.
Spinner for pike perch consists of a petal and a heap. This will help lower the bait to the required depth. The sinker joins the front ring of the turntable. At the same time, tees are used for baubles. They are quite large. The plumage is tied to a tee. It is required to keep the lure suspended. It will rotate stably, especially during the free fall process.
To catch zander, you need to conduct intermittent, stepped wiring. During a stop, the bait will sink to the bottom. Then she rises again. This will allow the petal to constantly rotate. It is worth conducting a leisurely wiring. To do this, make several slow revolutions of the coil. Then comes the stop. When the spinner touches the bottom, the movement is repeated. Pike perch both during pulling the bait, and when it falls to the bottom. You need to be prepared for this.
A deep-sea pike can also peck at such a bait. Sudak is active only in warm water. Therefore, such baits are used in the summer. The pinwheel in this case will be trickier than silicone baits.
Catching perch
When choosing spinners for perch, you need to consider that this is one of the most active predators. Therefore, he loves noisy spinners that show an active game. Such fluctuations cannot leave the perch indifferent.
Experienced fishermen claim that perch is easy to catch on a spinner. However, it is difficult to find a place where he feeds. Perch is kept in a flock. This fish also hunts. It should be noted that there are beaters in the pack. They are responsible for ensuring that a flock of fry gather in one place. This is a cauldron that is closed by perches that were previously ambushed. The ring is compressed. Malek cannot find a way out. A flock of predators surrounds him. Throws of fry provoke perch. They actively pursue, noisily rushing, fish.
If you can see the place on the pond where the fry are thrown to the surface, and also here the gulls can feed, here you need to start fishing. Spinners are thrown here. Next is a quiet wiring. It should be stepped. This technique works flawlessly when fishing is perch.
Professional Tips
When choosing spinners, you need to consider the advice of specialists. They advise you to choose a spinner not only according to the type of fish. It is important to consider fishing conditions as well. So, experienced fishermen are advised to choose small baits for catching grayling. It should be borne in mind that this fish is kept at the bottom. Therefore, the small spinner should be quite heavy. It has a compact size. In such cases, you need to weight the bait. A load is tied to its core.
If fishing is carried out in shallow water, a lure with a wide petal will be required. The use of such a bait for perch or pike will be especially relevant. Lure buoyancy should be high. For this, do not use models with a weighting agent. Such a spinner will make a lot of noise, attracting a predator to itself.
If you need to explore the reservoir by battle, in which you can observe different conditions, it is better to use universal lures. In this case, it will be possible to catch both in the presence of a current and in backwaters and bays. This will allow you to find a catchy place. The result will be high.
Finalization of the baubles
Handmade spinners can be as catchy as the products of famous brands. However, in the manufacture of such a design, you will need to know exactly the conditions in which you need to fish. Many fishermen modify the turntables to maximally meet all the requirements of the reservoir.
In some cases, the spinner needs to be heavier. You need to purchase special sports sinkers for float equipment. You can experiment with weight directly on the shore of the reservoir.
Also, a feather brush tied to a tee will help improve the game of the bait. This allows you to align the rod during wiring. You should also replace the hook if it is not high enough. This will significantly reduce the percentage of fish gatherings.
When choosing spinners, you need to consider the reviews of professionals. This will allow you to choose the best model for certain fishing conditions. The result of fishing will be high.
