Spin fishing has spread rapidly in the last few years, before it was a sport practiced only by a small number of people. When they saw how big fish could be caught with thin and long rods and small machines, people around them also started to show interest in spin fishing. Of course, although the season sometimes becomes irrelevant depending on seasonal factors and the type of fish, spin fishing is a complex activity, like a puzzle, and as technology advances, the pieces of these puzzles change. Those who can find the right combinations will pull out nice rewards from under the water.
What is Spin Fishing?
Spin fishing is a type of fishing done with the cast-and-pull technique. In this type, silicone or model fish are usually thrown into the water and immediately retracted. There are always tips. Many details should be taken into consideration, from rod selection to machine selection to the correct fake fish colors. However, in this article, we will provide basic information that can guide those who want to get started. First of all, it is important to buy the best equipment that fits your budget so that you do not have to change tools over and over again.
Rod Selection
Spin rods can have different lengths such as 210 cm and 330 cm and different casting spacings. What is more important than the length of the rod is the casting range or action value of the rod. Depending on what fish you are chasing, the area you are fishing in, and the lures you will be using, different casting spacings will be required. Therefore, it is important to choose a rod suitable for the conditions in which you will be hunting. At the same time, if you are fishing on the seashore or in a lake, the length of the rod is also important.
Machine Selection
After choosing your rod, you should choose a suitable machine. It is important that the line moves in a linear line when the machine is attached to the rod. You can reduce the size of the machine to achieve a linear angle between the first guide and the machine bed. You should choose different machine sizes depending on the length of your reed, the size and weight of the first loop.
Rope Selection
The most important factor when choosing a rope is to choose a thin but strong, light and fluid rope. It should also be durable. The string should be thin for long shots, but should not lose balance. Rope categories are generally divided into 4-ply and 8-ply. 8 ply rope may be stronger, but 4 ply rope is more durable and better suited for long casts.
Bait Selection
Baits used in spin fishing include model fish, silicones and spoons. Lure selection may vary depending on where, when and weather conditions you hunt. You should consider these factors when choosing bait. You can use different baits for each fish species.
Conclusion
If you are just starting out with spin fishing, these basics will guide you. However, as you master this sport, you can examine the selection of rods, machines, rope and bait more and create your own unique combinations. Spin fishing is an exciting hobby for those who love being in touch with nature and can take the fishing experience to a different dimension.
