In the winter vertical jigging in the last three seasons, a new trend has appeared - the transition of anglers to graphite fishing rods equipped with special winter reels. New tackle allows not only reliably hooking on the biteed fish, but also carry out its hauling almost as a spinning in the summer, pumping the fish out of the depths. The rod extinguishes fish jerks, and in the case of very sharp and powerful trophy attempts to move away from the hole, the friction brake of the coil is put into operation, giving the amount of fishing line necessary to pay off the fish jerk. This well-coordinated work of fishing rods and reels minimizes annoying escape of fish from tackle during fishing.
Old fishing rods for ice jigging often also had a reel in the fishing rod set.
But this reel was more needed for storing a stock of fishing line. She had a ratchet brake, which reduced the risk of breaking the tackle when cutting large fish sharply and helped a little to give up the fishing line at the first jerks. But to put out a fish with such a coil was almost impossible because of the very small arms. Wrap the line - yes, you can. But to fight the trophy - in any way ... Therefore, the landing of the fish was carried out directly for the fishing line. After hooking the rod flew off to the side, into the snow or on the ice, and the angler began to fight the trophy, turning over the line with his hands, which replaced the friction brake))).
The advantages of a modern set for winter jigging: Catching is possible with gloves (the size of the coil handle allows you to perform all the manipulations with the tackle during catching and hauling); Quick lowering of the bait to the bottom during the start of catching and quick retrieval when changing places; High tackle sensitivity due to graphite fishing rod; Reliable hooking and vyvazhivaniya trophy (work fishing rod and friction brake of reel).
If you decide to purchase a similar kit for yourself, then there are already fishing rods from Russian manufacturers (VolgaBaits, Aquatoria, Mottomo, etc.). Water area and VolgaBaits have jn sale a reel for creating a harmonious winter set ...
You will only have to wean yourself to throw the rod after a cut to the side and grab your hands behind the line))). After all, now it is not necessary...
