Spin Fishing
Spin fishing, that is, the throw-and-pull technique, is made by constantly throwing and pulling light baits such as silicone model fish. The material to be used must also be suitable for this. In this technique, segmented spin rod and telescopic spinning rod are used. Partial spin rods are preferred because of their action value, and telescopic rods are preferred due to their practicality and easy portability. If there is no transport problem, the priority should be the segmented spin rod. Spin rods are generally thin, sensitive, light and springy. Since the basic material in spin hunting is the reed, it is necessary to be careful when buying a rod. If your budget is limited, you should get a more general use rod.
What are the Features of Spin Rod?
Spin rod can give the impression of a toy fishing rod, as it is different from classical fishing rods. But these thin rods are strong enough to provide unforgettable hunts. Its carbon-containing structure combines flexibility and durability.
Spin rod length is very short compared to classical fishing rods. Generally, lengths between 240 and 290 cm are accepted. However, the length varies according to the type of fish, the type of pasture and the experience of the fisherman. The baits used in spin rods vary between 10 and 20 grams. In addition, spin hunting is a pasture excursion where you can scan a long coastline by throw-and-pull for hours. Therefore, the lightness of the fishing line provides great convenience in carrying.
What Should We Consider When Choosing Spin Rods
In this title, we will talk about what we should pay attention to when choosing the rods used in spin hunting. Here are the points you should pay attention to when buying a spinning rod:
Weight of the straw
Length of the rod
Action value of the straw
The throwing value of the rod
Physical structure of the rod
1. How Much Should a Spin Rod Weight?
Spin rods should be light because spin fishing is tiring. Sometimes hours of throw and pull are tiring and reduce performance. The lighter the rod, the more advantageous you will be. So try to get the ones with the lowest weight value. The weight of the straws in the market generally varies between 200-300 gr.
2. What should be the length of the Spin Rod?
The rod length should be chosen according to the size of the person and the target fish. Fish pulled ashore with long rods are difficult to control. When using a short rod, the fake bait may not be thrown to the desired point and the chance of hunting may decrease.
The length of the spin rods varies between 240 and 290 cm. There are also longer or shorter ones. If you are going to hunt from a narrow and crowded shore, the length of the rod should be 240 cm. However, the distance you will reach with this height will be short. If fishing is to be done from a more comfortable shore and the target fish is far away, 270 cm and above rods should be preferred. However, when choosing a rod, you should also consider your height.
Which action should we prefer in spin hunting?
Spin rods perform various actions according to their structure. These are high-precision fast action rods that stretch from the tip, retract themselves after the shot, very flexible slow action rods that stretch near the bottom and recover themselves late, and moderate action rods in the middle of the two.
Slow action rods have many disadvantages in spin hunting. Because of their high stretch, the rope may get tangled while passing through the rings. Throw distance is low. The leash and fish are difficult to control. Fast action rods are extremely light and robust. Even very small strokes are felt. Long shots can be made and you have complete control of the fish. For these reasons, fast action rods are recommended for spin hunting.
What is the throw range? On what basis is it chosen? What is shooting range? What does it take to shoot long distance?
The thrower range shows us the bait weight that the rod can throw without any problems. It varies according to the target fish and pasture. There are different types of rods according to their pitch and their own weight. Light reeds with a low range are called Light, followed by medium and heavy, respectively. They also have varieties such as Ultra Light, Medium Light, Medium Heavy, Extra Heavy. Going beyond the throw range will tire the rod and cannot provide the desired action and precision. Going under likewise reduces accuracy and range.
In general, the action values of spin rods are in the range of 10-40 gr. Some may be slightly above or below that. Your preference should be according to the pasture and the fish to be hunted. As the throw value decreases, the weight of the spoons and counterfeits to be used will also decrease, so you will be less likely to throw them over long distances. You will also have difficulty shooting in windy weather with a low-throw rod. It becomes difficult to throw low-weight counterfeits and to take the necessary action in rods with high throw value. For example, with a rod with a throwing value of 10-30 grams, you have less chance to throw away the jig, silicon or fake fish in the range of 2-10 grams used for lrf and give action. In the same way, throwing a 50 gram jig or spoon with a rod with a throw value of 10-40 grams may cause the rod to break after a few shots.
What material are spin rods made of?
Today, many reed fibers are produced using methods that use both materials called carbon or composite. Fiber rods are the most suitable rod type in terms of price. They are flexible and durable. However, their lifting force and sensitivity are low, and they are heavy because glass fiber is used in their construction. Carbon rods are highly sensitive and extremely light. But their price is higher than fiber straws.
Pull of the Reed
Finally, when buying a spin rod, you should consider the drag value. Line pullers suitable for spin rods: Between 2 - 10 lb, the thickness of the line is PE 0.2 - 1.0. The fishing line values you will buy for the rod should also be among them.
Since the carbon values of spin rods are generally high, they are durable and flexible. Tractor values also vary between 2-8 kg.
What Is The Best Spin Rod?
If you want a good reed, you should make sure that the rings, ring feet and machine bed are fuji. Considering the cost, you should consider the rods for the best performance. If you are new to spin hunting, we recommend starting with lower-middle class rods. However, if you are determined in this business, you can get the top class rods, examples of which are given below.
