How to make a snap on catfish. Catching catfish on a zakidushku. Donka the Catfish

Catfish, whose photo is sometimes surprising because of the impressive size of the fish, has always been considered one of the most desired prey for a fisherman. It is unlikely that there is at least one fan of "quiet hunting" who would not be acquainted with this master of the river element. To pull out this giant is a pleasure. However, this requires knowledge of the characteristics of its catch.

How to choose a snap on catfish

All anglers dream of catching this mighty predator, but far from everything is at risk for the purposeful fishing after him. Someone does not believe in luck, someone does not have patience, and some just do not know how to properly prepare for such fishing. Although if you approach deliberately, to systematize knowledge about its habitats and habits, to choose the appropriate equipment for catfish, then luck will be ensured. The extraction will not take long. The main criterion in the question of how to choose a rig for a catfish, regardless of the species, should be its quality. A cheap and "profitable" option will not last even the season. And already next year it is necessary to buy it anew.

Catching a catfish, the rigging on which happens the most different, is best accomplished during the post-natal period: from the end of May to the October cold snap. The culmination of this giant largely depends on the temperature of the water.

Enumerate snap on catfish can be very long: it's jockeys, and circles, and paths that are most effective in places where there is no navigation, for example, in small straits between islands, in secondary river banks and floodplain lakes. They catch him and on zharglitsu with zhivetsom, and on spinning, and on trolling with spoon-baits. Excellent donkey, zakidushka and, of course, kvok.

Features when choosing a tackle

Since there are really huge specimens among the soms, it is necessary to approach the choice of tackle very scrupulously. Since this is a serious catch, the tackle should be as strong and simple as possible. In fact, two options are used: with the rod and without it.

Catfish for a zakidushka

This type of tackle is great for catching even a twenty-kilogram prey. At the same time catching a catfish on a zakidushka assumes an excellent knowledge of its habitat. The catfish, in general, self-cuts and during the voyage fairly quietly floats to the podsachku, of course, if on its way there are no bottom shelters. For zakidushkas on this predator, small frogs are considered to be tested baits, as well as a sluggish or freshfrozen fish, and small pieces of stupefied bird that smell of burnt meat are not bad. They are placed in a trough made of wire mesh, then tied to heavy stones, lowered to the bottom in the proposed habitat of the prey. In the trough, small windows are made, through which the components of the living water are constantly emerging or creeping out, and the rest is washed out by the current.

In general, the zakidushka on soma, being a multifunctional tackle, is used most often. The reasons for this are abound. And the main thing is the simplicity of its manufacture. In fact, every more or less experienced fisherman will be able to make this serious tackle with his own hands in a very short time.

The subtleties of catching on a zakidushka

Those who are going to catch catfish on a stormy river, where there is always a strong current, should know some features. It is best to use a muffin with a relatively short line - from 2 to 5 meters with a diameter of up to 1.5 millimeters. To throw this tackle in the flow is better directly under a steep bank. It is desirable that in the place of casting a bent tree grows, which would give a shadow. Since insects constantly fall into the water, it can become a good source of food not only for catfish, but also for barbel, chernoprushki, chub and other river inhabitants.

If, however, the place for fishing is a calm pond, then a muffin fitted with a fishing line with a diameter of up to 0.4 millimeters and a length of up to 50 meters is perfect. Since when fishing in calm and transparent water it is important that this equipment is invisible, such parameters will be the most successful.

The size of the hook is chosen depending on the size of the catfish inhabited in this reservoir, and it should be large enough to bait on it bundles of creeps or a bear. The zakidushku must be thrown from the hand, while it is necessary to prewind about thirty meters of fishing line and lay it with rings on a flat stretch of shore. When all the snap on the catfish is prepared and thrown, it remains only to wait for the bite. It is determined by the lodge established near the reel. Biting the catfish is very strong, sometimes the guards even fly away and then have to search for it for a long time.

Donkey

This equipment for catfish should be chosen with a serious margin of rod strength and a powerful blank. A river inhabitant of deep pits, in which snags are often found, likes to go to them after the bite to calmly finish the meal. This factor seriously complicates the process of copulation. That's why the strength of the rod is very important. After all, it is often very difficult to disobey a catfish without letting it come to its senses.

Some prefer to use a casting marine rod. Such a donka on a catfish is quite expensive, but it is guaranteed high quality.

On the line everything is quite simple: the weights, and any - end or sliding, the main thing is that when you disembark, the hook does not touch the bottom, and the leash. The latter should not be done too short: the ideal length for catching catfish is 50 centimeters. This is explained by the fact that such a large predator swallows the bait for a very long time. Therefore, for reliable cutting, it is necessary to wait, when the catfish until the end will take the bait, while he should not be able to bite the line. If you cut it too early, there will certainly be numerous gatherings.

Kwok is a classic

This snap on catfish is called the most fascinating. It is based on the luring of prey by sound, which creates such a special device as kvok. In this case, the hunter must be in the boat all the time while fishing is in progress. The catfish is caught on the fork as follows: the fish caught by the sound emerges, meets the nozzle on the way and grabs it. This method is considered originally Russian, ancient, however, today it is preserved only in some regions.

Quotation design

Previously, kvok was made entirely of wood, and from apple trees. However, other materials are suitable for this, the main thing is for the kvok to issue the desired sound, as anglers say, "knocked." When catching such equipment for a catfish, a powerful fishing line with a diameter of 0.6 to 3 millimeters is used. Its length, depending on the depth parameter, should be of the order of 10 or 20 meters.

Outwardly, the fork is a solid wooden handle, on which a duralumin knife with a pencil at the end is fixed. In the upper part a hole is provided through which a capron cord having a two-millimeter thickness is passed through. Its length is taken with a margin of 30 or 40 meters. Below the lock, a weight is attached to the cord. Usually it is made of sheet lead, folded into a tube and slightly pressed. So that it does not slip, a little further a junction is built. The piece from the sinker to the hook itself is the leash. Its length, as a rule, is one and a half meter.

Features

Some prefer to put leashes made from a monofilament line. But this material is too hard and often twists, so the woven version is still better.

When catching a catfish on an encircled area, the hooks are quite common. In this case, you need to unwind the cord, go ashore and try to free the tackle from the ground with jerks. You need to be very careful, because in such cases, even the braided line can tear.
