Rewinding is a very special way of winter fishing. It is given, it must be said, by no means to all enthusiasts; Moreover, many amateurs, having tried to work with such tackle and not having received the expected result, leave this activity once and for all. And meanwhile experts argue that it is precisely this method that allows you to rely on the largest catch, and it works always and everywhere. It is only necessary to understand the principle and technique of handling non-standard tools, and everything will work out.

What is catchless fishing

The rewindless, or, as it is also called, non-nozzle jig, is a specially balanced fishing tackle that does not imply baits (for example, bloodworms - hence the name), but instead is intended to imitate what is fish food .

The non-stick fishing method is most often used on ice, although it can also be used in open water.

Moreover, the fisherman requires much more skill and knowledge about the habits and nature of the potential "prey", after all, a fish can only accept an inedible and deadly dangerous object for food only on the basis of a complex of sensations, while the right place for this is the correctly selected amplitude of water fluctuation, which the fisherman must provide with his movements.

Did you know? The largest fish that was ever caught with a fishing rod, weighed 1,200 kg, and was 513 cm long. It is amazing that such a record was a large white shark, which, before catching on a hook, had an attack on a person.

Based on these features, very stringent requirements apply to the gear itself. Unlike ordinary fishing hooks, involving the use of bait in the form of a nozzle, the rewinder is always very elegant, resembles bugs, spiders or other representatives of small aquatic living creatures and, of course, costs a bit more.

How to attach a reel to a fishing line

The technology of properly attaching fishing line to a reel involves the use of several alternative methods, however, whichever option is chosen, it must provide the solution to three important tasks:

1. Reliability, allowing to withstand the maximum load and eliminate the likelihood of a break in production.
2. Preserving visual similarity to the bait - for this, the node, if possible, should be compact and inconspicuous.
3. Freedom of movement - it is necessary to strive to ensure that the mormyshka can move freely in water, preferably in different planes and dimensions, without being limited by the “stationary” attachment to the fishing line.

Important! The design of the non-nozzle mormyshka is calculated so that the bait is attached to the fishing line at an angle of 40–45 °.

There are a lot of fishing knots, as you know, but the choice of the optimal mount largely depends on the original gear design.

Type of non-nozzle jigsaw and types of nodes:

With ear:

With hole:

The most common ways to attach a reel to a fishing line are as follows:

1. Noose for the ring. The advantages of the method are that the mormyshka has a maximum range of motion, can move left and right and up and down. In order to fish without bait, these qualities are of paramount importance.
2. Hard mount. In this case, the tackle moves only in the vertical plane, remaining motionless horizontally - a strong knot dampens possible freedom of movement, and therefore this method cannot be called the most successful. Although if you have experience knitting hard knots, you can achieve a change in the angle of the tackle to the line, when hunting for a particular prey, this trick can come in handy.
3. For the forearm through the ring. Most experienced anglers like this particular method the most, according to the degree of freedom of tackle, which is the “golden mean” between the two described above. It is believed that with such fastening in skillful hands, you can achieve the best "game" of the bait.

Important! Knitting knots from a fishing line is much easier if it is wet; in addition, in this case, the material is protected from overheating during friction and remains strong. And to fix the knot as much as possible with the help of superglue, but it must be used in ultra-low dosages.

To cope with an unusual task, experts advise beginners to use such improvised tools as:

• needle from a disposable syringe - for example, to clean the holes of the mormyshka;
• pin - help to untie the failed node;
• blade or clerical knife - for cleaning the hook from paint, cutting old knots, etc .;
• nail scissors - to remove excess fishing line;
• lighter - to melt the end of the fishing line as a protection against unauthorized untying of the knot, as well as to protect the fingers from an injection on a sharp tip.

What affects the catchless

The success of any fishing is influenced by many factors - from the quality of the gear and professionalism of the catcher to simple luck. But since in the winter it is especially a shame to return home without a catch in order to increase the chances of success, it is important to immediately try to correctly determine such essential conditions as the time and place for using the winder.

Time

Winter is a time of minimal activity for many living things. Fish is no exception. During the cold season, the inhabitants of the reservoirs try to move as little as possiblesaving energy, and therefore eat a little. During this period, the active flickering of an incomprehensible object, even remotely resembling food, with a high degree of probability will not attract the attention of a half-asleep fish.

Did you know? A fishing rod worth $ 20,000 was released by the famous French company Chanel, which, as it turned out, specializes not only in perfumes and stylish accessories. The famous German fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld took part in the development of the design of fishing tackle, which played an important role in shaping the price of exclusive goods.

therefore The last ice is a suitable period for the use of uncoil in winter, especially for a beginner who has not fully mastered the technique of handling gear., that is, the time when potential production has not yet fallen into "suspended animation", remains quite active and pours on any food with appetite, which in winter, by the way, for the same reason there is not so much hibernation.

Even better results from the use of non-stick jigsaw can be expected when fishing in early spring. At this time, the temperature gradually rises, the duration of daylight hours increases markedly, and nature, even with massive snowdrifts remaining everywhere, begins to awaken steadily.

At such a moment, a fish starving after a long winter shows interest in everything that even remotely resembles food, which means that even the not-so-skillful game of a novice fisherman, potential prey will easily “forgive” him.

An important feature of winter fishing without a hook is also that active bites at this time are equally likely both on the morning dawn and in the evening, and in the middle of the day. For any fisherman, this rule will definitely be good news: if you didn’t catch fishing early in the morning, you can relax, have tea and enjoy the impressive winter landscapes, and after a couple of hours try your luck again - and, quite possibly, it will not keep you waiting.

A place

A well-chosen place is another key to successful fishing. Since fishing for a rewinder in most cases does not involve the use of complementary foods, it is not necessary to rely on the fish to come to catch the hook itself. In other words, you need to throw tackle to where potential prey is already located with the maximum probability.

Taking into account that in the winter, fish try to look for the warmest and well-warmed sections of the reservoir as possible, a good place for a "hunt" may be:

• edges, steps, elevations and tubercles against the background of an even relief or shallows - a shallower depth allows the bright rays of the winter sun to penetrate the ice and slightly raise the water temperature;
• pits, pits and other deepenings - in such places comfort and relative heat are provided due to the protection from the current and active movement of water;
• areas near snag or areas overgrown with aquatic vegetation - the presence of any static objects also heats the water, slowing its movement.

Nevertheless, it must be understood that fish sites in winter ponds are rarely constant and can constantly change. Such movements, of course, have a certain pattern, but it is far from always possible to calculate it. Therefore, one should not be surprised that at different times the "addictions" of aquatic inhabitants are diametrically opposed: in the morning, fish can actively feed in the depths, and in the evening - on shallows or vice versa.

Having studied the pond well and spent many hours on fruitless searches, an experienced fisherman is able to almost accurately choose a place for drilling a hole. Before a novice catcher, accordingly, two algorithms of action arise: by the method of our own trial and error, look for a good point, moving from one site to another, or take a seat close to the place where a large number of fishermen are already located, after making sure that their pastime is at least as productive as possible.

Keyless fishing options

Each fisherman has his own technology for fishing on a rewind. However, the most standard fishing options without using standard bait still exist, and a beginner should take them into account.

Active search

Almost always, the use of non-stick mormyshki for winter fishing requires frequent movement from place to place. As already mentioned, this method of fishing assumes that the catcher must first find the prey, and then lure it with an imitation of bait.

Since the rejection of live bait, as a rule, excludes long-term feeding, accompanied by the expectation of the moment when the fish feels the prey and comes closer, fishing with a rewinder has one indisputable advantage: nothing prevents the catcher from drilling as many holes as possible in different places and trying again and again.

Important! You move more - you catch more. This rule should be fundamental when fishing on a rewinder.

Specialists even recommend going on such a “hunt” in pairs or in small groupsin order to increase the “territory of coverage” and more quickly find the point of the current location of potential production. Each such hole has no need to linger: literally a few well-executed transactions is enough to determine the presence or absence of fish nearby, because fishing on a rewinder is a game that assumes that prey, if available, will certainly bite.

Deaf Earth

Deaf land is a term coined by fishermen specifically to emotionally describe the prospect of fishing in a given period of time. It is about the middle of winter, when nature freezes, shackled by snow, ice and frost.

Under the thick ice cover, oxygen in the water becomes less, the sun almost does not penetrate into its thickness, creating an atmosphere of constant twilight and drowsiness.

It is difficult for the inhabitants of reservoirs to move during this period, and at low energy costs, their appetite and, accordingly, their interest in food decreases sharply. Attracting fish with bait, and even more so by imitating real food under such conditions, is almost hopeless. Many fishermen, knowing all these subtleties, prefer not to go to ice at all in the dead of winter, although there are enthusiasts who rightly believe that fishing can be done at any time, just the catch will not be so big.

Focusing on the many years of experience of professionals, we can say that almost the only fish that can actively peck on a non-mountable mormyshka in the dead of winter is perch. All other inhabitants of rivers and lakes at this time, if caught, then only on real bait with active bait. Although exceptions, of course, are possible.

In general, the tactics of using bezootylki in the dead end are standard; amendments for the “difficult period” are only as follows:

• more holes need to be drilled;
• the maximum testing time for each place is 5 minutes without bite;
• bait is not used at all;
• the game is played at low speeds, because flashing the bait too often will more likely scare off half-asleep fish than it will interest it;
• correctly selected tackle and the ability to handle it is a prerequisite for fishing in the dead of winter (for learning it is better to choose a more “grateful” time).

Did you know? Fishing is one of the most ancient crafts mastered by man. However, the classic fishing rod appeared relatively recently, approximately in the II century of a new era.

With bait

Bait is a manipulation, which in the vast majority of cases is characteristic exclusively for fishing for real bait. Imitation of feed, which is a non-nozzle mormyshka, designed for hungry and slightly sleepy fish, which grabs a crustacean or spider-like object purposefully, rather than randomly picking it up with real food.

Therefore, fishermen using this technology almost never feed the place after drilling the hole, but simply move from one site to another in an active search for a fish stop.

But this rule has exceptions. In fact, there are two of them.

Bait can and should be used if:

1. The bottom relief is absolutely flat and identical over a large area - thus, there is no way to select the likely place of fish accumulation and even more so to expect that it will linger at this point;
2. In contrast to the described situation, there are too many suitable places for fish to stay on the site, and therefore aquatic inhabitants constantly move from one such point to another, and there is no way to keep the interest of potential catch (for example, this is the situation when fishing within the reservoirs).

Thus, forcibly attracting the attention of a fish, forcing it to gather in a flock in a selected place and then starting a game - a maneuver acceptable when using a rewind, although less preferable than an active search. To implement such a plan, a standard bait is used.

How to catch on a winder in winter

The task of the fisherman, who decided to use a rewinder, is to convince the fish that there is real prey in front of it. This is achieved by experience similar to learning to drive a car: you need to feel the gear yourself, the instructor can only outline general principles and rules.

There are many methods of playing a game with fish, and they vary depending not only on the preferences of the catcher, but also on who is being hunted.

The simplest technique with which it makes sense to start the learning process is designed for perch.

The sequence of actions looks like this:

1. Dip the tackle into the water, letting the mormyshka lie down.
2. Slowly and evenly raise the beadless 10-30 cm.
3. Stop for a few seconds, then perform a control cut.
4. Lower the mormyshka to the bottom again and repeat the movement.
5. After several unsuccessful postings, carry out the same manipulations at a different depth, slightly higher to the surface.

On average, an experienced fisherman makes about 3–6 vibrations of the fishing line in a second. However, speed in this process is not a determining factor - monotony, regularity and, of course, patience in finding the right pace and amplitude are much more important.

Conventionally, a game with a rewinder can be thought of as repeatedly touching the tip of a pointer to the same point on a flat surface. Another important point that distinguishes the use of reelless fishing from fishing for real bait. A bloodworm, a worm, or a maggot can be a pleasure for the fish to “try,” so choosing the right time to make a cut is not so critical.

Did you know? Today in the world fishing is the main official place of work for more than 21 million people, and according to some estimates, people who are completely dependent on the results of this fishing are about ten times more.

Non-attachable tackle resembles food only from the outside - in other words, taking a shiny metal ball into your mouth will immediately lose interest in it and spit it out, and it will be much more difficult to trick it a second time. Thus, everything depends on the success of the first and only sweep.

Since catching with a rewind involves constant movement, where there should be no glitches, for such fishing you need to choose the most lightweight fishing rods, this will reduce numbness and hand fatigue.

Usually it is a high frequency of movements that provides active bite, but there are exceptions to this rule. So, if the mormyshka is equipped with a wing or is another complex structure consisting of several segments, such tackle provides additional water vibrations by itself, which means that the game can be more measured. Rigid attachment of the mormyshka to the fishing line, on the contrary, requires an increase in the frequency of postings . However, the main rule always remains fair: it is better slower, but evenly, than faster, but with jerks and crashes.

The tactics of playing jigsaw for different types of fish has some features:

The basic technology, when the object of the hunt is unknown, involves the creation of a rhythm in which, when moving upward, the mormyshka shakes, and moves smoothly on the descent, then, if the game does not give a result, the technique changes to the opposite - smooth ascent and vibrating descent.

What are the incessant mormyshki

There are a huge number of varieties of bezootylki, differing from each other in shape, number of hooks, material of manufacture and other important features.

Important! Experienced fishermen recommend purchasing several different mormysheks and changing them in the absence of biting. Each inhabitant of the water world has its own “culinary preferences”, therefore, without being interested in one or another potential prey, the fish can readily peck at another.

So, by the type of bait, which is recognized to imitate tackle, there are such forms of non-stick mormyshki:

1. Devil - a triple hook soldered to the bottom of the cylindrical base, through which the fishing line vertically passes, fixed from above with a ring.
2. Uralka - a body similar to a volumetric comma or a curved drop, to the narrow part of which a single hook is attached.
3. Goat - a construction similar to the uralka, but having not one but two hooks.
4. Gunning, or Tula drop - similar to uralka, but does not have a bend in the upper part.
5. Perch eye - a shiny ball with a hook attached to the bottom and an image that looks like an eye.
6. Ant - metal balls of different sizes welded together, usually 2 or 3; a hook is attached to the smallest one located below all.
7. Cobra - a flat base, slightly curved, like the head of a snake rushing to attack, with a single or double hook instead of a “tongue”.
8. Balda - lead cone-shaped or cylindrical bait with one or two movable hooks.
9. Witch - A rather complicated design, in which up to four hooks are attached to the wire frame.
10. Nymph - multi-colored tackle, equipped with special wings, providing increased water vibrations.
11. Banana - a tungsten nozzle, similar not only to the tropical fruit of the same name, but also to amphipod crustaceans - a favorite delicacy of perch.
12. Pellet - a small ball with a hook attached to it.
13. Donkey - a black single-crochet sinker that resembles coffee beans cut into 4 parts.
14. Parrot - a drop with a hook located below, a distinctive feature is a very bright and multicolor color that can visually attract the attention of a fish.

You can also classify rewindings according to other criteria, highlighting the following types of gear depending on the selected attribute:

• by weight - heavy, medium and light;
• by the number of hooks - single, double and multi-hook;
• depending on the availability of replanting - naked and with replanting in the form of a ring, ball, kral, cambric and other moving elements, attracting the attention of potential prey;
• in form - short and long, straight and curved;
• by material of manufacture - lead, tungsten, tin, solder;
• by color - black, brown, green, metallic, multicolor.

The sizes of the gear can also be different, but the most common claws usually do not exceed 0.8–1.2 cm in length and 0.1–0.3 cm in width.

What kind of fish can be caught on a rewinder

The rewindless fishing method is effective for hunting any prey that feeds on small fodder - crustaceans, larvae, and small insects. However, winter is not the easiest period for the inhabitants of the water world, so even small predators at this time do not disdain food that is more familiar to “peaceful” fish, and this, in turn, means that the prospects for such fishing are very encouraging.

The most common catch using a non-mounted mormyshka in winter is roach, bream, scavenger, perch, sopa, bleak, ruff or rotan. Carp, carps, ide, chub, rudd, silver bream, and even small pike or pike perch also come across such tackle, although such luck, of course, does not happen often.

The art of handling a rewinder is not known to everyone. And yet, having forgotten to take the bait with you for fishing, do not despair: perhaps this unfortunate accident will become an occasion to learn the most interesting technique of playing with fish, where not the quality of the bait, but the talent and ability of the catcher is of paramount importance. And since fishing is primarily a pleasure from the process, and only secondly - concern for food, the experience gained in using new interesting gear will definitely not be superfluous.
