Winter fishing for bream with a jig without a nozzle

Secrets of ice fishing with a reelless bait, jig selection and games

One of the popular types of winter fishing is reelless fishing. It is used by both experienced sports fishermen and ordinary ice fishing enthusiasts. You need to try hard to tempt not only a hungry perch, but also a wary bream with artificial bait. Inattention to any little detail will result in a lack of bite. To return home with a catch, you need to collect sensitive reelless gear, select high-quality jigs and develop several fishing options until it becomes automatic.

Popular rewinders

Not so long ago, one of the main problems for jig fishermen was purchasing high-quality bait. If the game of a baited jig is not so important, because the fish are attracted by the natural bait on the hook, then when fishing without a bait, the behavior of the bait comes first. Therefore, fishermen themselves invented, made and tested catchy reelless jigs. Today, the achievements of craftsmen have been picked up by both local and foreign manufacturers. Now the difficulty for beginner jig fishers is choosing a working bait. Below are the most popular nozzleless jigs.

1. One of the oldest non-moths, which was successfully used with bloodworms, is the Uralka. Its characteristic feature is the combination of a single hook and a curved lead body.
2. The famous devil jig has a strictly vertical game. It is easy to make; just apply a drop of solder to the small tee, and the bait is ready.
3. A drop is considered a universal bait. It allows you to fish with or without bait. The components of the jig are a single hook and a drop-shaped body.
4. Goat fishing is considered quite simple in winter fishing. The bait is a modification of the Uralka, only instead of a single hook a double hook is soldered in.
5. A perch eye jig has been developed for hunting striped predators. The combination of a single hook and a golden ball with a painted eye has a mesmerizing effect on the perch.
6. In an ant jig, the body consists of two balls of different sizes, welded into a single whole with a small hook.
7. Many fishermen liked the exclusively Russian bait Balda. Reelless jigs of this type exist in different sizes, shapes and colors. Two hooks remain unchanged, moving freely along the line installation.
8. The nymph is a jig with a curved body, which has grooves around its circumference. A single hook is soldered into the body.
9. The witch has a lot in common in appearance with the bully. Only three hooks are pressed against the body of the bait, as a result of which their movement is limited. Witch fishing is based on the use of specific wiring.
10. The serpentine body has become the hallmark of the cobra jig. A single hook acts as a tongue.

Choosing a nozzle for catching different types of fish

Reelless fishing often becomes fruitless due to the wrong choice of jig for a specific type of fish. If the bait is to the taste of the perch, this does not mean that the bream or roach will pay attention to it. This factor plays a decisive role in winter fishing. Sometimes even the color of a bead can affect the bite of a particular type of fish.

An illustrative example is the fashionable cat's eye jig. Many fishermen are confident that this nozzle catches any fish even in the dead of winter. The characteristic features of the new product are the cylindrical shape of the body, a single hook and a movable ball on the fore-end. Different types of fish prefer certain colors of the ball.

• Roach and ide respond well to the green color of the bead.
• When catching bream in winter with a reelless bait, it is better to equip the jig with a milky-white ball.
• Striped predators prefer yellow or orange cat's eyes.

Assembling a fishing rod

To get an artificial bait to make believable movements in the water, you need to assemble a balanced reelless fishing rod. Experienced fishermen collect gear based on their anthropological data and habits developed over the years.

• Beginners can be advised to purchase a simple balalaika and install a rewinder nod on it.
• It is convenient to use a fishing rod that is equipped with a reel. Then the transition to another depth will occur quickly and comfortably.
• The diameter of the fishing line must correspond to the size of the jig. Using a thick fishing line will spoil the action of the bait, which will negatively affect the number of bites.
• Good gameplay requires sensitive nods for the rewinder. They can be cut out in large quantities from multi-colored plastic. It is advisable to select a suitable guard for each jig by testing their combination at home in a transparent bottle or bucket.
• Some fishermen claim that a reelless fish without a nod can avoid idle bites. In such gear, the role of a bite alarm is played by the fisherman’s finger. Due to the absence of free play (equal to the length of the nod), hooking becomes effective.

Working animation options for mothless creatures

You need to choose your own game for each reelless jig. Experts identify several techniques that can be useful when fishing.

1. The Ural jig works best with smooth play. The bait slowly rises without playing along to a height of up to 1 m. At the top point, a stop is made for 2-3 seconds. It is enough to make 3-4 movements for the fish to respond to the animation. A similar technique can be used for a nymph baitless jig.
2. The devil's game begins with tapping the bait on the bottom. Then the bait begins to rise with smooth swaying movements of the nod. Having reached eye level, a pause is made for 2-4 seconds. The number of cycles in one well is 3-5 times.
3. When catching perch in snags, anglers use a jig called a nailball. The bait rises slowly, and the vibrations of the nod should be high-frequency with low amplitude.
4. The roach prefers the mid-frequency play of a goat or devil with a small amplitude. After a meter rise, a pause of 3-5 seconds is maintained.

For such jigs as the witch and the fool, a different fishing technique is used. From the bottom, the bait is thrown 15-20 cm with a wrist movement of the fishing rod. The tip of the tackle immediately lowers to its original position. The pause can last from 5 to 10 s. The perch that most often falls for these reelless baits grabs the bait from the bottom.

Tactical points

When catching many types of fish, the bite may also depend on how correctly the tactics are chosen. In some cases, the mothless machine begins to work only after several important conditions.

1. The rod is clearly balanced and the nod is correctly adjusted.
2. The fisherman pinpointed the location of the fish.
3. The optimal dose of attractive bait is dropped into the hole.

If the fishing rod is carefully assembled and tested at home, then the next task will be to find fish. In winter, fishing spots will be:

• entrances and exits from depth;
• edges and steps;
• stuck water areas;
• windows among aquatic vegetation;
• places where streams and springs flow.

Feeding the holes is done according to the following scheme.

1. First, preliminary feeding of all holes, which are made in the amount of 10 pieces, is carried out. at a distance of 5-7 m from each other. To do this, just drop a pinch of bait into the water.
2. Each hole is examined for active fish. 4-5 postings will be enough for a preliminary study of the hole. If timid or confident bites were observed, this point should be thoroughly fed. The winter feeder is filled with bait and sent to the bottom.
3. In the future, all productive holes are carefully fished. As the bite subsides, a small portion of bait mixture or small bloodworms is dropped into the water.

Fishing with a reelless reel in winter can bring a lot of pleasant emotions. If you take into account all the factors that influence the bite, you won’t have to return home without fish.

Winter tackle for bream

Rigging a winter fishing rod for bream

Rod

For a novice fisherman, the best choice is a fishing rod 40–45 cm long with a comfortable (preferably cork) handle (5 to 15 cm long) and an open or closed reel with a spool diameter of 4.5–6 cm. The reel brake can be blind or frictional. The latter is much more convenient when fishing at various depths, especially in relatively shallow water, where bream can go during a thaw.

The whip is set 20–30 cm long. In general, the type of fishing rod is determined by the wiring technique and fishing conditions. Some successfully fish with a balalaika, others use homemade models, others prefer branded Finnish fishing rods.

Nod

This is one of the most important equipment elements. It can be made from various materials. The best choice for catching bream with a no-attachment jig is a conical nod made from a clock spring; You can use propylene, polycarbonate, Mylar tape or other soft material.

The length of the nod can reach 18 cm. Such dimensions allow you to achieve stable play and even out unnecessary, unexpected movements of the hand. When using small jigs in shallow water, the length of the nod is maximized.

Shortened nods are used in windy weather and when fishing at a depth of over 5 meters. Under various fishing conditions, short nods made from a gramophone plate work well. The nod must have an end hole or ring for passing the fishing line. On long nods, in order to prevent sagging of the line, crimp cambrics are installed or an additional hole is made in the middle of the nod.

Fishing line for bream in winter

It is best to use soft modifications with a diameter of 0.1–0.15 mm such as “TEKLON” (Japan) or “SILYER FISH” (Germany). These lines, having increased knot strength and a very smooth surface, are less susceptible to tangling when fishing near frozen ice chips.

For fishing at depths of more than 7 m, hard fishing lines are used. This is due to the fact that a rigid line sinks faster, gets tangled less when landing fish and transmits a bite more clearly. We can recommend sinking fishing lines.

The quality of the game depends on how thin the fishing line is. However, it should be borne in mind that large bream should not be caught on fishing lines with a diameter of less than 0.1 mm, since there will inevitably be breaks.

It makes no sense to use thinner but stronger “braids” in winter conditions only because they will freeze even in mild frost.

Fishing rod

Despite all the differences in the methods of bream jig fishing, the fishing rods used are identical.

1. The fishing rod is most often an ordinary balalaika, or another similar design equipped with legs.
2. A whip of medium elasticity is used so that when hooking, the fish’s lip is cut but not pulled out of the mouth. Also, this element of the tackle is designed to compensate for jerks when fishing it.
3. The nod is selected to such a length as to ensure smooth amplitude vibrations of the bait.
4. The fishing line for bream should have a thickness of 0.14 to 0.18 millimeters.

Advantages

The fundamental differences between fishing with a reelless jig and classic winter fishing lie in the method of influencing potential prey. In the first case, the main goal is to visually and tactilely deceive the fish; this requires certain skills and mastering the secrets of winter fishing with a reelless reel. But the complexity of the process is compensated by its efficiency throughout the winter period and in any body of water.

A huge variety of equipment variations simplifies targeted fishing for a specific type of fish, in particular large predators.

The jigs themselves can be made independently; they are usually cast from lead or machined from pieces of brass. This will not only save money, but also give the fishing process an even more creative component.

In the case of traditional bait, there are fewer requirements for the skills and actions of the fisherman himself, but the range of fishing opportunities is much lower.

And off we go! Experienced fishermen diligently dissuade. Like, you can’t learn anything from something ready-made; obvious overpayment for a fishing rod; The Internet is full of information on how to assemble good tackle yourself. Another option is to find someone experienced (of course, this would be good, but it must be earned, so that someone experienced will fully and regularly babysit the newcomer). In general, you push a person so that he without fail rushes to fill his own cones. To take the path of trial and error.

And off we go! Experienced fishermen diligently dissuade. Like, you can’t learn anything from something ready-made; obvious overpayment for a fishing rod; The Internet is full of information on how to assemble good tackle yourself. Another option is to find someone experienced (of course, this would be good, but it must be earned, so that someone experienced will fully and regularly babysit the newcomer). In general, you push a person so that he without fail rushes to fill his own cones. To take the path of trial and error.

If you try to do this yourself from scratch, you can easily break down. So, I subscribe to Viktorovich’s comments. Start with normal ready-made gear, and then, as some of its shortcomings and limitations are identified, take action and look for alternatives. After all, everything is learned by comparison.

Finally, a few thoughts on independently assembling tackle for a nozzle.

By the way, I recently watched penguin videos and noticed an interesting model of the nod - the first 3.5-4 cm are hard, and then there is a not particularly smooth transition to “snot”. The whole nod is 10 centimeters. I’ll definitely make myself one of these!

My fishing is 90% in still water, mostly at depths from 1 to 5 meters. The weight of the jig is 0.3-0.4 g. (favorite range at the moment), sometimes up to 0.7 g. Types of jigs - uralka, droplets, pellets, ants, bananas, etc., sometimes goats. I rarely catch devils, store-bought ones don’t work (although I regularly buy them for testing, but never get around to trying them), homemade ones are in my plans, but I’m lazy.

I use 0.1 -0.12 fishing line.

I forgot about the coils. For me, there is no fundamental difference yet: open, closed, semi-closed. A beginner must pay attention so that the line does not get chewed by the spool. If at the same time the design is not dismountable (the spool cannot be removed from the axis), then it is generally tin. You'll have to tear the fishing line and tie it on a new one.

Weight of the rod assembly. Personally, I’m not bothered by a 40-50 gram weight, but if a weight of no more than 40 grams is objectively desirable, but this is not a dogma.

“Ants” come in different sizes and are used for catching perch. Colored beads or cambrics are hung on them to ensure a more effective catch. Large baits are used when the first ice appears or the last ice melts. And small and medium-sized baits are used throughout the winter.

Bait fishing with game

When catching bream with a jig with a nozzle, baits of the simplest shapes are used, which can be purchased in a store or made with your own hands. These are such popular models as:

• pellet;
• ball;
• Uralka;
• cobra;
• oatmeal;
• nymph;
• banana.

I would especially like to highlight the so-called “bream” morphfish. In shape it resembles a reverse Uralka. That is, its hook sticks out not from the narrow part of the casting, but from the wide one.

It is preferable to color baits for catching bream in darker tones, and light shades can be used when the water becomes cloudy in early spring.

Baits and lures

For winter bream fishing, a limited number of baits are used on a jig hook. This is, first of all, bloodworms, maggots or a sandwich made from them. On some days they work great:

• worm;
• dough;
• semolina;
• pearl barley.

A game

In order to attract wary bream and tempt it to bite, anglers use many types of jig games. We list the main ones:

• slow rise. Almost moving, to a height of up to three centimeters in three to five seconds and the same smooth lowering back;
• uniform tapping on the bottom with horizontal displacement;
• slight movement at the bottom after several active steps of the jig;
• slow rise to a height of up to thirty centimeters with frequent but smooth fluctuations;
• the same game, only on the lower side;
• slow descent to the bottom with a long pause;
• a smooth rise without hesitation with increasing acceleration up to shoulder height with a mandatory pause and a control cut.
• various combinations of the described wiring.

Technique for catching bream using a reelless reel

There are general principles of the game that you should pay attention to. The main thing in the game is to make the jig only vibrate, practically remaining in place. At the same time, it is permissible to carry out a measured rise of the bait from the bottom by 30 cm - 40 cm - 50 cm - up to 1 m.

The vibration of the jig is achieved by methodically constantly rocking the fishing rod with a significant frequency and small amplitude of the nod oscillations. If the oscillations of its tip are not close to zero and there are also glitches in the game, this does not attract, but rather scares away the fish.

They begin wiring after the bait sinks to the bottom. After tapping the jig on the ground several times, they begin its subtle rise upward, imparting to the bait no more than 120 vibrations per minute. This can be done slowly, gradually increasing the lifting speed depending on the bites that occur or do not occur.

Advice! Typically, most bites occur at the bottom when the jig is torn off from it or when the jig is lowered onto it.

There are specific ways of playing, one of which is “sawing” with the line resting on the edge of the hole. This eliminates glitches in the game. The vibration frequency of the jig in this case can be very minimal, sometimes it does not exceed 20–60 vibrations per minute.

Another simple method is to lift the jig very slowly without any hesitation. Obviously, in this case, the fish mistakes the jig for some dead floating organism. In general, during any fishing, when you see a bite, you should remember the version of the game that was carried out and the depth at which the bream took your bait. It is very important that when playing, the movement of the jig is as similar as possible to the behavior of a real aquatic organism.

Mothless

The most catchless reel when fishing for bream and bream in winter is, naturally, the devil. This bait is equipped with multi-colored cambrics or beads; often such bait is placed not only on the bends of the hooks, but also placed on the working line.

In addition to the devil, the following jigs are used for catching winter bream:

• goat;
• Uralka;
• cobra;
• ant.

As for fishing with reelless baits, they are in many ways similar to the game of bait bait. They are distinguished by a higher oscillation frequency and a slightly lower amplitude. But the main thing in fishing without bait is to strictly maintain a uniform rhythm of the game.

What kind of jig to catch bream in winter

For reelless fishing for bream, most anglers use “devils”. This type of jig came into fashion in the seventies of the last century. There are many modifications of these baits, they are sometimes very different from each other, their appearance is largely determined by the imagination of the manufacturer.

“Devils” may vary in body shape, method of attaching hooks and fishing line, shape of hooks, method of adding beads or other artificial additions, etc. Wiring options may also vary depending on the model.

The most common “devil” has a triple hook, but even four-hook models are often used. Some experimenters use two “devils” at once. This is due to the possibility of provoking the fish to intercept, because with two baits it appears that one aquatic organism is chasing another.

Practice has shown that with a good bite, it is preferable to use a large “devil”, which can reduce the percentage of large fish hatching. It is known that ovoid “devils” are less hooky than elongated ones. Recently, “devils”, which are made in the form of segmental joints, have become popular.

The choice of bait color is usually determined by its similarity with the colors of aquatic invertebrates. The most commonly used colors are black, gray, and dark brown. Depending on the characteristics of the reservoir, lighting and other fishing conditions, sometimes yellowish, greenish baits or those that have a combined color are used. But there are exceptions in the form of burgundy and other colors.

In case of fishing at great depths, of course, heavy tungsten “devils” with sharply sharpened hooks will be preferable. Their color may be somewhat lighter than that of baits used in shallow water, where it is best to use jigs of a dark, matte, black-brown color.

The option of an elongated nozzle jig with hooks soldered into a lead or tungsten body is considered optimal. There is also a hook attachment on a movable suspension. The size of hooks for catching bream is No. 10–13, for bream – No. 13–18.

Not so long ago, fishermen came up with the idea of ​​using all sorts of artificial additives in combination with a baitless jig. The question arises: what to take as a bait for the “devil” intended for catching bream? Just as there are many artificial materials, there are also many options for their fastening or installation. Beads, seed beads, polystyrene foam, foam rubber, elastic band, thread. It’s impossible to list everything, but there are some generally accepted options for artificial attachments that give good results. The most popular among fishermen are beads that move freely on the hook.

The combination of white and yellow beads attracts large bream well. Sometimes it is enough to put a yellow or ivory bead on the hook. You can attach a tiny piece of dirty red or yellow foam rubber to one hook. A combination of white and yellow cambric is also suitable. It should be remembered that the combination of white and red colors attracts perch, and if you put a white foam ball on the hook, then there may be no end to the bleak.

Sometimes when fishing for bream and bream, a positive result is obtained by putting one or two yellow beads (beads) directly on the fishing line, which, when reeled, tap against each other and against the body of the bait. The acoustic signals produced in this case apparently remind bream of the sounds emanating from small aquatic organisms at the moment when they are actively moving.

Continuing the conversation about the no-attach jig for bream, we note that in addition to “devils”, fishermen widely use single-hook “nymphs”, “uralkas”, “ants” and double-hook “goats”. These jigs are also most often used in combination with beads placed on a hook.

It is the beads that, with certain vibrations of the nod, create a unique effect of a vibration field, which the fish perceives as a signal to start feeding.

In general, a nozzle-free jig can be positioned in relation to the fishing line either vertically or at an angle of 120 degrees. The location of the jig is largely determined by its modification and the method of fixing the fishing line (Fig. 125).

Like “devils,” some models of jigs may have a hinged connection between the hook and the body of the bait, which helps create additional non-standard vibrations. This brings success when fishing in those reservoirs that experience strong fishing pressure. Of course, here too there should be some artificial addition on the hook in the form of colored beads, tiny cambrics, foam particles, etc.

As for the color of the hooks, practice has proven that in any lighting conditions, wary bream are more bold in taking the bait from a dark rather than a light hook. For baitless fishing, you need to take hooks with a shallower hook, which is well camouflaged with beads or other artificial bait.

Fixed jig

This tackle, in essence, repeats float fishing, only a jig and a nod are used. It is adjusted so that the bait barely touches the bottom, and the guard is bent at an angle of 45 degrees.

When biting, the weight of the jig for the bream that takes it begins to increase from zero to full weight. Therefore, the use of tungsten baits is undesirable, since the fish senses a discrepancy in size and weight.

Making and tying other types of jigs with your own hands must also comply with this rule. Therefore, jigs are used as stationary baits, capable of hanging at an angle to the fishing line even greater than reelless ones. If necessary, such products are tempered over a fire and the hooks are bent, followed by hardening.

As for the models of such baits, these can be:

• balloons;
• oatmeal;
• Uralki;
• bananas;
• devils.

Since in the absence of bait play, the bream will only be interested in its equipment, the jig itself needs to be made as inconspicuous as possible. It is best to have a natural lead color or paint it with dark green, brown or black paint.

Reelless fishing, what is the secret of success?

There are a number of factors that you need to weigh and understand for yourself - whether this fishing method is right for you. “Mothless” requires a more jewelry approach. The technique of playing “reelless” is more difficult to master, and your catch directly depends on it. Minor nuances not taken into account in the wiring can leave you without bites, even if the fish is present, but inactive.

Tips for a fisherman: Do-it-yourself winter fishing rod for reelless - Tips for a beginner

We would like to note right away that if you want to develop as an athlete, you should know that reelless equipment is prohibited in fishing.

Five principles of success

To successfully fish with a reelless bait, you will need:

• Firstly, if your hands quickly freeze without gloves and mittens, it’s better not to take up the mothless machine. Each person has an individual tolerance to cold, different blood circulation and thermoregulation. If your fingers freeze even in light frost, it’s better not to mess with windless equipment at all. The play of the jig should be strictly controlled; it will be 100% impossible to do this with mittens. Too thin and delicate wiring is required for successful fishing with most reelless rigs.

It is almost impossible to quickly learn from scratch how to fish with a reelless bait, or you will need a lot of time to get into all the nuances and subtleties of this interesting fishing. Many people simply get frustrated and quit halfway through.

Well, there is one more nuance. Reelless fishing and “strong drinks” are not compatible. Pick one thing. Decreased coordination of movements, stupor, optical hallucinations are the enemy of a good moth-eater. To relax “soul and body”, it is better to sit quietly in a tent, feed, put a bloodworm on the jig and wait for the fishing rod to be snatched from your hands
