Tackle and methods for catching of a predator from the shore on big river.

In principle, in-shore fishing on the big river, you can apply all known spinning fishing methods and equipment. But for some of the methods have limitations imposed by the location of the angler about the coast edge. If fishing from boat we usually "contracted" bait from the edge to the depth when fishing from shore the situation is the opposite. We have to "tighten" the bait with a depth of stranded. And often this raises the need to go through a fairly steep and covered with rocks or coquina coast edge. It's not just if you catch on zaglubljajutsja Wobbler classic snap jig with jig-head and the hinge mounting spaced snap - that is, all those that involve animation with continuous control of the bottom. Accordingly, this problem imposes certain requirements on gear and tackle angler. To get as close to the edge the edge, the angler will need high waders, or the waders. And to increase the angle of the cord and all of the tooling relative to the edge is correct to use a longer rod.If fishing from a boat would be the optimum rod length is 2.1-2.4 meters , when fishing from the Bank a reasonable minimum is a long rod 2.7 meters. And if shore fishing is you have much more than half of the trips, you should think about the longer rod is 3.0 - 3.2 meters. With such a long rod and the ability to go in the water you will be able to significantly reduce the risk of a hook for the sideline or cut bait on its sharp ridges when posting or playing trophy...

In addition, we must note that even the most "armor-piercing" braided cords are ground or cut with a sharp crest and seashells. Therefore it is necessary to attend to the protection of the working zone of snap, increasing its resistance to abrasive action. A good solution is to use a shock leader (the leash length is 1-1,5 meters) of the fluorocarbon. This material,in addition to almost invisible in water, has another property - abrasion resistance. Tie it directly to the main cord by one of the nodes for matching different woods ( carrot, Albright, etc.). Before the bait can bind additional leash from a steel string, if the expected bite of a pike. The length of a spinning from 3 meters will compensate for the lengthening of the working part tackle the large overhang from the Tulip to the bait are severely complicating the ability of the cast. With the short rod you will each throw to create a shock load on the Tulip node in the splice fluorocarbon and cord.
Similar difficulties when fishing from shore on a large river will not arise, if you catch on spinners, not much zaglubljajutsja lures or surface lures. But waders will still be not superfluous, as it will allow you a little bit to maneuver during the harvest of interesting points relative to the water's edge.
Well, the shore fishing on large rivers is very interesting and may be profitable not less than that of a boat ;-). My biggest zander caught from shore, weighed 5.5 kilograms... Pike is 6.5 kilo... So the meeting with serious trophy more than real!
I suggest you watch the theme video from the Studio AnglersZoom where Artem Mishin and Evgeni Gromov caught in such conditions is a huge Volgograd reservoir, shore, spinning... Shows the most popular methods of fishing, bait, snap. In addition, the guys speculate about the rods, the cords and other components of equipment of the shore angler...
