Disputes about what installation for spinning fishing is better, never subsigh down. There are many reasons for this, but the main subjective feeling of fishermen. Someone likes, simplicity and reliability of the Drop-Shota, someone loves the classics in the form of a tanning leash. Some generally use several leashes and so on. Each type of installation has its own characteristics and subtleties, and with each year the number of options for their implementation increases more and more. The article discusses the parameters of the separated snap-in type Drop Shoto and how they affect its catchiness. At the same time, the main attention is paid to one, the most important parameter is the distance between the cargo and the bait, since the rest, one way or another, depend on it.
Features of separated snaps and their popularity
Drop-Shota is interested in that he is very primitive. In fact, it is the simplest from the snap-in (well, of course, with the exception of the usual jig head). But in his primitiveness, one interesting feature lies - a simple wiring, which can be done literally in one place, while the diversity indicators are no worse than other snaps.Especially surprisingly, most of the fishermen (approximately 75% of the total) in priority are more complex in the manufacture and wiring in comparison with the drop-off of the tanning leash. About the same delights, like Split-Shot, or tooling the "locomotive" does not have to talk - their popularity is extremely small.
But there are one unpleasant feature from Drop-Shota, which is probably the cause of his unpopularity: because of its simplicity of fishermen cannot understand how to change the snap for fishing in different situations. If everything is more or less clear with the lean leash, it is dedicated to quite a lot of material (depending on the conditions of fishing, the leash length is selected, from which it is made, whether the swivels are applied, etc.), then the drop-rot is paid less attention.
If you look at the drop-shot, the only thing in it can be changed is the distance from the cargo to the attachment point of the hook with bait. Consider this question more.
Selection of the optimal distance
The most popular fish to which fishing with a drink-shot snap-in is becoming perch. The optimal distance from the cargo to the bait in this case will be 25 cm. Even the offset (still in which direction) by 5 cm significantly reduces the number of blanks.
The specified distance will be fair to light snaps, which do not exceed 5 grams. For heavier weights, this distance increases slightly.
Also play the role of conditions in which fishing is made. If we are talking about rivers with a slow flow, then a 25 cm figure is acceptable, on a faster flow, the distance may also increase. In general, for light snaps, it is best to use split weights that can be moved on the fishing line, adjusting this distance for greater handling of wiring.
If we are talking about fishing a larger fish, for example, pike perch, then the parameters may differ significantly. The distance from the attachment point of the bait to the breakpoint can vary from 0.5 to 1.5 m. But here it is necessary to understand that the conditions in which Sudak is caught, also differs from the conditions of perch. In particular, the casting can be made over long distances. Yes, and in this case is completely different in this case - it can reach up to 50 g.
In any case, if Claus is not - it is recommended to search for slaves well from other horizons. The only way to do it on Drop-Shot is to change the distance from the cargo to the bait.
