Catching a pike perch on a jig

The word "jig" has several meanings: a baubles, a hook and even a dance. And together, all these concepts can be combined into an underwater brilliant dancing hook.

Jig is successfully used with a very complex underwater hunting for pike perch - the most valuable extraction of a spinner.

Catching a pike perch on a jig is a very original and fascinating occupation. First of all, it implies a specific form of casting the bait by spinning, and then its wiring along the very bottom. In this case, the movement should be combined with small stops.

As a bait, absolutely everything is used: both live, and silicone worms, and live, and silicone fish, twisters, etc. Most importantly - do not forget about the special weight for the hook - the head, which is the highlight of this kind of underwater hunting, like catching a pike perch on a jig.

This predator, as a rule, lives more in deep-water rivers, where there are many pits, rocks, whirlpools. Silt bottom or overgrown areas, as well as shallow water, according to fishermen, are not suitable for this type of fishing. And the time of day, which is best caught pike perch - is the early dawn or sunset.

If the spinning guard armed with vibrotails and twisters, thoroughly scoured all the deep edges, he will certainly return home with a decent enough catch. Catching a pike perch on a jig is perhaps one of the most promising forms of fishing.

When choosing artificial baits, special attention should be paid to brightness: pike perch likes orange, lemon and white-green colors. In this case, they should be small in size - about 12-13 centimeters, the choice of their weight directly depends on the expected flow rate. For example, if the flow is weak, 14 grams is enough, and when strong, they should weigh about 40 grams.

Experienced fishermen disagree about what to choose, what bait, hesitating between a twister and a vibrotail. In this issue everything depends on the correct definition of the place for catching, competent piping, etc.

To catch the pike perch successfully, you need to be able to literally "read" the habits of the river, feel its bottom, and also manage the lure with jewelry, which, of course, comes with experience and time.

As for the theory, there are several rules: from the boat it is necessary to catch this fish not along, but across the brooks, achieving the most uniform and rhythmic wiring, so that the pause does not exceed a half seconds. You need to cut it off confidently and briefly, even with the slightest suspicion.

Very often bite occurs when immersed bait, so mindfulness does not interfere. If the fisherman uses his tackle as a locator, which has the accuracy of the pharmacy weights, then it can be confidently called a real "dzhigit", i.e. Master of jigging.

Many say that when catching pike perch, their main bait is a foam rubber fish. If you really know where you can expect the appearance of a predator, the systematic combing will necessarily bring a positive result, but in cold weather, especially in the fall, foam can become frozen and become an ordinary "icicle", while catching a pike perch in summer allows you to use not only such baits, but And their silicone varieties.

Sometimes, especially in the intolerably hot weather, only the live fish rescues fishing as a bait. During the twilight or night catching of pike perch, along with a floating wobblers, again an interesting result gives an active bait.

It has long been noted that catching a pike perch in the spring will be most effective if you use a bait to pick up a preloaded turntable, because at the time of muddy water, its noise attracts a pike perch, which has excellent hearing. Therefore, many people recommend it in February, March and April, right up to the pre-spawning course of this predatory fish.
