Winter fishing and winter fishing equipment

Category: Ice fishing

A subtle, insidious fledgling ice, swimming in ice font is a dubious pleasure. It is the best way to go to the opening of the winter season, on some small forest lake. On the first ice, you can catch and run aground at depths of less than one meter. Here the biting is both self-confident and less risky. But before you feel all the charm of winter fishing, you should thoroughly prepare. Special care should be taken of clothing. Carry on the ice all day but still with a good cold with a breeze - there must not only have an excerpt, but also protection from the cold. Fisherman's clothes must meet three basic requirements: be warm, if possible light, waterproof and not blown through. More is needed more and cloak, a big, can it be to wear over clothing, good protection from the wind. Also in the equipment should enter: a hat with ear-flaps, warm mittens, a sweater, warm underwear. From shoes quite reliable and easiest option - boots with galoshes on his feet knitted wool socks. Recently steadily went into use in various models of "Rocks" - comfortable and warm footwear for fishing.

The winter fisherman gear includes such necessary supplies as screw (ice screws) and a fishing box (charabanc). Each angler should determined the selection by himself, and the basic principle of choice should reside with convenience instead of the inventory cost.

Now let's talk about the gear. There are at least 2 main types of winter ice fishing rods: float and tackle for the sheer. Now about the construction of gear. Rod, wood, cock - these are parts of ice fishing tackles. The optimal number of fishing rods for ice fishing should be from 3 to 4 pcs., with various filaments and coachmen. The question arises, why would a fisherman require so many fishing rods? Firstly, if break occurs if the veins, then equip the fishing rod in the cold, and even with good biting it is trouble. Secondly, we must also possess and bait, pre-equipped with a thicker vein and spoon, suddenly a big perch show up! The fourth rod - in case you break again. For the rods are not bad to have a so-called "cartridge belt", this will help avoid confusion The rods. The thickness of line, its manufacturer, cock (nod), coachmen, each fisherman chooses, from my own experiences and those of friends.

Tips for beginners fishermen, if not biting for 15-20 minutes, it is better to change the place. Indeed, in December - January day is short and every minute is precious.

Good help for ice fishing are: a thermos with hot tea and sandwiches.
