Fishing on the rubber band

What kind of angler does not dream of catching a large individual, and if those who like fishing for predators can do this often enough, then, for example, a bream weighing more than one kilogram could not catch a few. And those who can boast such a catch, will unequivocally say that they used a donk with a rubber shock absorber.

What is catching an elastic band, what are its advantages and disadvantages?

To begin with, the difference between a bottom fishing rod and an elastic band is that the cargo is attached not to a fishing line, but to a fishing rubber band, which can be bought at every hunting store.

Firstly, fishing for gum is especially effective in standing and still waters while catching such fish as roach, scion, carp, bream, bream, etc.

Secondly, the rubber band is so simple in its construction that it can be made by every fisherman at home.

Thirdly, catching an elastic band is the kind that can be convenient for those who for some individual reasons can not use more active methods of fishing. In this case, you do not need to make long transitions, move actively, make sharp movements. This is why people who have impaired motor functions, elderly fishermen, etc. Catching on an elastic band is the most ideal option for practicing your favorite business.

What is a donka with a rubber band? If you dissolve it, it looks like this: First there is a special sinker weighing up to a kilogram, although sometimes it can be just a bag of stones that is fastened to a short cord, on the other end of which there is actually an elastic band - flat or round, aircraft model, E. The load is also tied at the same time with a thin, but strong string, which has the length of the depth of the place where the rubber band is supposed to pass. At the end of the string, a large float is made, usually of foam. The second end of the rubber is connected to the line, on which there are leashes with hooks, the number of which varies from 3-4 to 10-15 on complex donkeys.

It must be remembered that the rules of amateur fishing in some areas of our country the number of hooks on donkeys with shock absorbers is limited.

Many anglers who like to catch the carp know that with bottom gear there are certain inconveniences, for example, the fact that it must be constantly pulled out and re-cast, which scares the fish, while the bait, especially if it is plant, flies all the time. And catching a crucian on an elastic band allows you to get rid of such shortcomings.

First, you need to clean the shore of grass and stones, then drive a peg, fix the far end to it and gently unfold the donkey rings, starting with the line and ending with the sinker. Then the load starts at the very sight of the fisherman, an attractive point for fishing. The line should be slightly sagged.

Sometimes experienced anglers turn a simple rubber band into a more catchy tackle, applying feeder methods to it, installing several feeders fixed with silicone knots.

To do this, the donkey with a pre-made loop is fixed on the peg with the beginning of the gum, and in the center of the line are attached feeding troughs - ordinary bags, sometimes even from the newspaper. The hooks are put on the hooks, the loop from the stake is carefully removed and the donkey goes smoothly into the water. When it is completely in the water, then you need to make several vigorous jerks so that the feeder is emptied into the water.

On the line next to the peg there is a signaling device, it can be a stick, a bell or even a piece of clay. That's all: the fascinating and prey catching of crucian carp on the rubber band started.

Today hardly anyone can reliably say who invented the use of a rubber shock absorber as the basis for bottom gear. Although this is not important, the main thing is that catching a rubber band already has a huge army of fans.
