How to tie a mormyshka

Mormyshka - this element of rigging for ice fishing is considered one of the inventions of fishermen in Russia. The fishermen of the Moscow region were actively fishing at the mormish farm in the thirties of the last century. But since then the fishing technique with the help of mormyshki has spread across all territories of the planet where there is ice and fishermen live.

It is curious that this word got its name due to small freshwater crustaceans, called "mormysh". A fishing hook that is soldered into a tin or lead pellet resembles this arthropod.

However, not all mormyshki are designed for winter fishing. There is a type of so-called summer mormyshocks. They are larger than their winter counterparts and are used for fishing from boats, preferably in quiet, windless weather.

Winter varieties of mormish can be much smaller than their summer counterpart. They are divided into two large groups, with which you can catch with a nozzle and without it.

The first group, as its name implies, includes mormyshkas, which are used for catching with the help of animals or plant baits. Within the framework of this group, they differ in shape, color and size.

The second group is distinguished by the fact that something is obviously inedible on the hook as a nozzle. It can be a piece of a cambric bead, a bead, a piece of foam rubber or foam, etc. This type of mormyshek also distinguished by color, shape and size.

The main characteristic of the mormyshka is its weight. This applies to mormyshkam for catching with a nozzle, and to a group of mormys, intended for fishing without a nozzle. They are superheavy, heavy, medium, light, ultra-light.

Mormyshka is the most expensive and most valuable element of fishing equipment for ice fishing. In some ways, its value for a particular fisherman is reminiscent of the value of a good, catchy spinner for a spinning fan. Therefore every loss of a mormyshka is a tragedy. The most insulting thing is when an angler loses it through his own fault, if he does not know how to tie the mormish properly.
