To date, the silicone bait for fishing predators has already thoroughly settled in the fishing box of any spinning player. This type of lure is one of the most popular and is not inferior to spinners and lures. And sometimes it even surpasses them in efficiency. The scope of silicone bait is almost limitless. Due to the huge variety of shapes, sizes and colors, it can be used both in the muddy waters of small ponds, and on the course in large flowing reservoirs. This type of bait is used even in sea trolling.
So, the modern silicone bait is adapted to various fishing conditions. Its structure and color scheme is not random; all characteristics are precisely aimed at catching specific predators in certain reservoirs. That is why there is such a variety of these lures on the fishing tackle market. It is very easy for a beginner of spinning fishing to get confused when choosing this gear. All silicone baits are divided into several types, the most popular of them are vibro-tails and twisters.
Vibro-tail is a silicone bait, the most popular and easily recognizable even among beginners. The vast majority of spinning fishermen prefer it only because of the outward resemblance to a real small fish. But this, rather, affects the consciousness of people, and not on fish. In fact, the visual resemblance to the fry for a predator, be it zander, perch or pike, is not a determining factor at all. At first, the fish hears the movement of prey, and only then, as a rule, at the very last moment before the attack it sees it. Such a silicone bait, such as a vibrotail, is effective when
fishing for spinning, not because it resembles a top or a roach, but because of the peculiarity of its game during posting. But this tackle has one significant drawback - it sails when casting. That is why such a bait is not recommended where there is a need for long casts, and it also does not show itself very well during the course.
Other silicone fishing lures - twisters, in contrast, only contribute to the casting range. Like vibro-tails, they have different shapes, lengths and colors. From the diversity of these lures, each angler can put together a small collection for his taste and preference. You can collect a set for different fishing conditions, for example, for rivers with a pronounced course or for small lakes with dark water.
Most spinning fishers, choosing twisters or vibro-tails for themselves, primarily pay attention to the material itself. There is an opinion that the best are those made of soft silicone. But this is an erroneous statement. First of all, the fishing conditions in which they will be used are taken into account. Soft baits are undoubtedly very plastic, they are convenient when casting, but during the posting big problems are possible. You can immediately say that they are effective only in stagnant water. For the course, only baits made of dense silicone are taken, soft ones here will not only work poorly, but even drive fish away. All this must be paid attention to when choosing silicone baits. Reviews of experienced fishermen also will not hurt, the degree of effectiveness of the tackle can be found only experimentally, so it will be useful to listen to the professionals.
