The first part you can read (and see) in my blog.
So, the river Tura...a New Mecca for hunters trophy pike. How many have of my friends and acquaintances anglers have been there? There are not very many... Fishing guide-Pro there is one - Max legal. With bases on the river too, not a lot. And to drag your boat from Moscow, for example, in Tyumen exercise more than an Amateur. But... If the thread would be willing to grow, then everything will appear. After all, demand creates supply. And I'm pretty sure that after a couple of seasons will be the first fishing camps.
And while Maxim and Alexander continue their "village Safari" to Tour. In the course went big bait hoping to lure this Siberian crocodile.
In the second part the guys have focused on larger lures from Narval and Fox Rage (16-18 cm).
There is strong opinion that at the end of the winter pike prefer large lures up to 10 centimeters long. The argument , overall, is significant. They say, the pike at this time is already filled with caviar ( pike spawns one of the first, in March , as soon as the ice melts, arranging their mating games), and large prey at this time just does not fit in her belly.
But Max and Alexander refutes this opinion, successfully applying really large tires...
By the way, when fishing with these lures silicone ( 16-20+ cm) anglers should take into account the weight of the lure when choosing a fishing rod with which they are going to hunt a predator. Usually the spinning is focused on weight weights which is going to apply. If the maximum weight of the load on fishing the upcoming 28 grams, the rod with the upper test weight bait 32-38-42 grams. But!!! The weight of large rubber is 20+ grams, and if this is not taken into account, the spinning can be easy to break in the casting because it exceeded its test weight due to the cumulative excess test fishing-rods, tandem load+bait.
I hope that now you will not make this mistake, and your favorite spinning will remain intact ;-).
