Jig with an offset center

6

Chilly, frosty air, seeping over the collar, forced to press his shoulders and shiver. Fishing today is not, covered several miles of river Bank and has almost no bites, a few small platic don’t count. Tried almost the entire Arsenal of jigs, methods of wiring, but no luck.

It’s time to go home. But his hands automatically continued to rummage in the box with the gear, delaying the time of farewell to a river. Nondescript, unprepossessing homemade jig, a present friend of youth, with a disproportionately large hook goes under the water. The wind strongly blowing, and a nod rods unpleasant reacts to his impulses. A few strokes of the bait on the bottom and a barely noticeable wiggle with the continuous rise almost to the surface. Another pop-pop — hook. Apparently, an underwater branch or rhizome interrupted flight lead bug.

Pull the string and play on it, as on a string. It happens that such a simple method allows you to get rid of a hook. Suddenly went slack, and wide white side gleamed in the hole. Adrenaline spilled into the blood, causing perspiration. Do not rush, but should not linger, you should try to force the fish to enter the hole. A little more effort and by pulling lips, bream is shown under water. As usual, the bahorykom is in the fishing box and submit it to no one. Lowering the hand into the water, trying to take bream for the head of their Gill covers. Soon the fish is on ice. Worthy end of the fishing.

Set in the side of the house, but continue to check the jig unfrozen hole. A shiver of nod throws a strike roach and silver beauty rests on an island of snow. As they say, evening ceased to be languid. It seems that even the sky brightened. Trying to analyze the situation and then I remember the background to the emergence of this jig in my Arsenal.

Somehow at the next meeting exchanged gear, and a buddy handed me this homemade jig. “Tested means from bad bite” — smiling, he said. Still in high school I soldered these “masterpieces”. Nothing special, poor excuse of an ant, and even the hole for the hook has gone past the eyelet of the hook, concealed lead — an obvious marriage. But under the insistent belief that all of their masterpieces it produces specifically, I ridicule the gift not dare. And now he’s fired.

Of course, the fish began to bite, like a machine gun, but the bite clearly perked up, and became much more fun. Looking closely to the game fish, noticed that she slightly leans to one side, regardless of the nozzle or it was without her. It’s a bit reminiscent of the swaying of the boat with side wave. And the fish loved it. Often she attacked the lure is still in free fall. Sinking in the water column and continuing to jiggle, she had a distinct advantage over traditional tungsten.

At the next meeting I specifically asked a friend to show off his craft. The bodies of the coachmen was the same, they differed only by the size of the droplets of lead and hook size. All of the hooks were from carp series, but of small size. In order to confidently vyvazhivat big fish.

Respectable carp, bream, roach and perch often tempted by grafting in a piece of light sponge rubber of the driver’s seat of an old car or a lump of black micropore. Infusions worm or Motyl I reacted sharper than the chubs, which is not typical for winter, and perch. I have a friend and a very large, somewhat resembling a mini-jig of the jig. This is especially for carp fishing in summer on the side of the nod. And trophies under four or five pounds weight are not uncommon, if only the gear broke.

In those ponds where the fish feels strong fishing pressure, it is more suspicious of the lures. The boilies on the bottom, mix cereals sometimes do not lure, and most alarming picky fish, bites are rare and often happens at night, when the bulk of anglers asleep or preparing for tomorrow’s fishing. But often, even well-fed or careful attack fish fry and “boogers”, rastalkivaya food, and we want it.. But, apparently, only the vertical component of the game even with the horizontal wiring is less attractive than an additional transverse oscillation. In the winter, by the way, as practice has shown, this game is not less popular.

Any angler, slightly familiar with a soldering iron, can produce a bait at home. The main rule: do not fasten the nichrome wire to the eyelet of the hook, and place it nearby, closer to the edge of the body. To get rid of Shine fresh lead, the finished product should briefly dipped in iodine. Looking at Arsenal, I noticed that some of the jigs decorated with translucent brownish head. As it turns out, is a drop of epoxy fixes are not soldered, swinging the hook. On the strength of the snap-in is not affected, but sometimes it becomes an additional factor, provoking the fish to bite.
I can not claim that is a panacea for bad bite, but that is an additional chance — no doubt. And maybe that little drop of lead will return one day and your mood on a cloudy day with a bad bite…
