The best types of spinners for asp

There are a huge number of different types of spinners used, including for asp fishing. Some fishermen prefer to fish with a wobbler or Devonian, others argue that the best fishing for this difficult representative of the Karpov family can only be with a mamba or a bullet. Below we will talk about the most popular baits, which are distinguished, first of all, by their versatility.

Did you know? The world record for throwing tackle is the throw of the German Walter Kimmerow in 1984. He was able to throw a tackle weighing 30 g at 176 m.

Hesitating

The first artificial bait to be used on predatory fish. The tackle looks like a curved metal figure, shaped like a small fish. With a certain retrieve, the spoon makes characteristic movements that imitate the movement of fish in the water and begins to oscillate, which is what gave the tackle its name. There are a huge number of different forms - from the simplest, made by pouring molten metal into a tablespoon, to complex mechanisms with sound imitation.

Perhaps this type of spinner is the leader among similar gear for catching predators. Suitable for use throughout the year.

Among the advantages of the spoon, the following should be highlighted : the use of this gear does not require the fisherman to have great skill in performing wiring, i.e. even a beginner can fish with a spoon, although it is also popular among experienced fishermen.

This gear has been well known for a long time, and brands such as “Mepps Syclops”, “Kuusamo Rasanen” and “Kuusamo Professor”, etc., are always popular among anglers, regularly proving their effectiveness.

Oscillators, depending on size, are divided into the following types:

• micro - the smallest: up to 5 cm long;
• medium-sized - their length is 5–10 cm;
• large - over 10 cm.

The first two sizes of gear are used for asp fishing.

We invite you to find out how to choose the right lure for winter fishing.

Rotating

The most popular tackle designed for catching predatory fish. It differs in the shape of the petal and its color, among the most popular are “Aglia”, “Long”, “Comet”. But the main difference lies in the angle of inclination of the petal - the stronger the current, the narrower the shape of the petal and the smaller the inclination angle.

This is explained by the fact that guiding a wide tackle with a large angle of inclination will be quite difficult. These are excellent tackles for fishing in calm waters. The color of the spinner is selected depending on how cloudy the water is. In reservoirs with poor visibility, bright tackle is used, in clear rivers - darker ones.

Several types of rotators are known:

• with rear loading;
• with front loading;
• spinnerbaits;
• buzzbaits.

They fish with a spinner mainly using a leisurely monotonous retrieve, with sharp jerks of the bait.

Castmasters

They are a type of vibrator; they are a specially shaped figure made of a special material with a clearly calculated center of gravity. The shape is most similar to a fragment of a metal rod with an oval profile, cut diagonally. In the classic version, the cutting angle of the castmaster is 17 and 23°; a winding ring with a triple hook is attached to the spoon. It is distinguished by its versatility and good play with any wiring.

This tackle is effective with any type of retrieve: fast, uniform at the surface, at medium depths with wave-like animation, in bottom fishing with jerky movements.

Jigs

A type of spoon that is used for vertical fishing. This tackle was conceived as a bait for fishing in the sea, at great depths. It is an excellent device for bottom fishing in a wide variety of circumstances.

Soon the tackle for sea fishing was appreciated by freshwater spinners. They found that light jigs were very effective for catching predators in rivers and lakes. The tackle has gained particular popularity among asp fishing enthusiasts. Many consider it the main gear when fishing for this fish.

Important! For fishing in freshwater bodies, it is advisable to use jigs weighing 15–40 g and up to 8 cm long, although minor deviations from the specified range are acceptable. For sea fishing, use a spoon weighing up to 1 kg.

The classic jig is a spoon of a traditional elongated shape, with an approximate length/width ratio of 6:1. The cross-section of the bait can be very diverse: hexagon, circle, quadrangle, but they all have a decent mass. Quite a noticeable weight allows for good casting and quick penetration, as well as retention in the fishing area during currents of any intensity.

There is a wide range of jigs on the market.

But since high-quality tackle is not cheap, very often they are made independently, for a specific fish in a specific body of water. It should be said that such gear is often not inferior to branded ones. In general, the concept of “jig” has become a common name for a narrow, massive jig.

All of them can be divided into the following types:

• narrow-bodied with a slight tail curve - used most often at sea: for halibut, flounder, cod;
• a blank with a massive top - shows all its advantages during step-by-step retrieving, and is used most often when fishing for pike perch;
• a spinner similar in shape to a castmaster (the famous Acme product is a type of jig) - it is most often used when fishing for asp.

Types of spinners and selection features

The asp responds well to shiny baits that are similar in appearance to fish fry.

Among the varieties, the best spinners include:

• rotating in the form of a cut;
• fluctuating;
• tungsten;
• jigs.

To please the asp, the spinner must be:

• long-range with the possibility of use for long casts;
• stable, regardless of the strength of the current;
• stable when playing during postings;
• natural when playing in the upper layers;
• effective when used at the mid-horizon.

When choosing, you should take into account the shape of the bait, the ability to play while falling or retrieving, the color and the best spinner – shiny, looking beautiful when playing.

Rotating

Spinner Mepps Aglia
Zherehu – river corsair. I like long casts. The spinning spoons proved to be a good game. The advantage is that spinners have a long petal in the form of a willow leaf and a heavy core as effective spinners when fishing in fast waters against the current.

Preferred weight is 2-15 g.

Advantages:

• fast energetic retrieve;
• elongated ovality of the petal.

Best spinners:

1. Mepps;
2. Heavy Long No. 3;
3. Aglia Long No. 1.5;
4. Daiwa Silver Greek.

Hesitating

In terms of catchability, spinners are somewhat inferior to castmasters and tri-grids. But nevertheless, they are quite catchy and long-range. For example, when catching asp, an oscillating spinner from Daiwa - Chinook . The Bay De Noc Swedish Pimple model is also distinguished by its universal catchability.

Spoons in the form of a cut

• Weight – 12-20 g;
• Casting range – up to 70 m.

The best options for spinners with a cut are those with a silver-golden surface , attractive to predators.

Thanks to the cutting angle, these baits have a fairly wide stroke, which is important for the asp during the game. The spoons are equipped with a long narrow white tail (twisters) and have proven catchability.

Classic domestic spinner (three-sided)

A type of oscillating bait invented by domestic spinning fishermen. Often used when fishing asp. The three-edge has proven excellent play on the water during pauses, so it is often used by anglers for jigging.

Peculiarities:

• extreme range;
• versatility;
• possibility of application at different horizons;
• stability of play at low amplitude;
• range of flight;
• lack of additional equipment for weights in the form of a sbirulino float, since the shape of the bait is triangular and the weight is already substantial;
• high specific gravity, which does not lead to knocking down when playing even in fast currents;
• Possibility of fishing for asp, large perch, and pike perch in winter.

The trihedron has excellent performance on large rivers, at a decent distance from the shore, and even in the winter season. Can be used for vertical trolling from a boat, pursuing various prey objects, ranging from medium-sized perches to representatives of salmon.

REFERENCE! Sabunaev’s three-sided spinner is considered to be the catchiest one; it is the leader among domestic spinners for asp. If you do it with your own hands according to all the rules, then solid trophies will be guaranteed. But fishermen are not advised to use models weighing less than 7 grams. The best options are in the form of a triangle in cross section.

Tungsten spinners for asp

Tungsten is a heavy metal, due to which the spinners are minimal in size and maximum in weight. Spinnerbaits are produced in the shape of petals and hearts, capable of creating aerodynamic unity on the water and ensuring accuracy and casting range. For example, a tungsten jig - Tunqsten Jiqqinq Spoon , made of pure tungsten, is only 4 cm long, 1 cm wide, but heavy - 14 g.

Excellent for staging or jigging.

Turntables with a tungsten core are characterized by long range and compactness. If there is a red bead on the hook of the spoon, then it will be quite possible to create windage in the waters and force this tungsten bait in the form of a spinner - a tee - to attack the asp.

Spoon jigs for asp fishing

Vertical spoons are designed for onboard fishing on lakes, northern rivers or vertical lures. The jig is a simple piece of metal surrounded by lead with shipping. This is a spinner - a tube, not difficult to make yourself from a volumetric piece of metal with a tee attached to the upper or lower end to avoid snags.

The best models:

• RENEGADE;
• Renegade;
• Iron Minnow (Japanese model).

The best shaker for asp

The recommended weight of spoons is 10-30 g , length - 4-6 cm. When fishing at great depths and in waters with strong currents, it is better to use heavy, wide models. Main advantages: catchability, versatility, excellent flight properties and play with a small amplitude.

Spinner-bullet for asp

Easy to make baits, but quite catchy for a predator, weighing 1.5 g from a long distance.

Peculiarities:

• casting gear up to 40 km;
• range;
• simplicity in execution, although it may well cause a sensation on the asp.

Spinner beetle on asp

The peculiarity of the beetle spinner is its convex scales, although it can be cast when made from sheet material with a smooth surface. Usually, 1 part of the bait remains unpainted, the other is painted silver (serebryanka). Fishermen note that models with convex scales are more effective than flat ones.

Choosing a spinner for asp fishing

• Jigs - a catchable bait is a heavy blank with soldered hooks. This lure is mainly intended for vertical fishing from great depths. Jigs manufactured by SPRO , especially those designed for fishing at very great depths, such as the Norway King Banana Perk or Spitzkopf Pro.
• Wobblers, as a rule, in the water resemble wounded fish, which attracts predators. To fish with these baits, you need to periodically move them along the bottom. Their disadvantage is their low weight and, as a result, short casting range. Wobblers that guarantee dynamic and fast movement in the water receive good reviews. Excellent baits are proven models and “ Jackall».

  Wobbler Jackall

• A spinner is a spinning spoon. It is an ordinary bait on a rod base, to which a treble hook is attached on one side, and light metal petals are attached to the opposite side, which in the water tempt the fish. Some of the most popular spinners are spinners and Mepps .
  The latter have been confident leaders on the market for several years now, but Blue Fox also has advantages, for which spinners love them.

• Devons are cigar-shaped with lobes. They are most often used with multiple treble hooks. This spinning bait differs from others in its high rotation speed. Ideal for long distance casting. The product is considered the best among those designed for fast surface wiring. It is these models that most often attract predators.
• Oscillating spoons occupy a leading place in the hunt for predators at any time of the year. Spinner baits do not require special skills from the spinning angler to retrieve, so this is a very good option for both beginners and experienced fishermen. Models such as “Mepps Syclops”, “Kuusamo Rasanen” and “Kuusamo Professor” are in great demand among our fishermen. They do their job responsibly, luring the predator over and over again.

• Boats/sleighs are considered one of the most convenient fishing gear, as they do not require a lot of attention and effort when catching fish. You need to launch such a boat against the current, having previously put hooks or spinners on a leash that will be stretched along the shore. The fisherman is only required to pull the line to the shore in time and remove the catch. Fishermen mostly create these boats themselves, experimenting with different shapes and sizes. Some models come with special masts with sails to release it into the wind.
• Front sight/wabby/streamer . The purpose of such spinners is to imitate fry. Most often made from feathers, fur and other fibers. Typically used as secondary bait.

• fill the inside with lead when making sheet metal;
• equip with a high-quality tee, attaching it to the sharp end of the spoon;
• Attach the blunt end to the ring to connect to the leash.

Asp is a cautious fish, but good baits can be made with your own hands from sheet material filled with lead or tucked from a solid piece of metal. The main condition is to equip the hand-made bait with a high-quality tee, attaching it to the sharp end of the product. Attach the factory ring to the blunt end and thus connect the vibrator to the leash.

Spinner for asp in summer and autumn

Depending on the time of year, the asp’s behavior can change dramatically:

1. In winter, fish hide in deep holes at the bottom of the reservoir, in riffles, and in breaker jets.
2. In the spring , the fish wake up and begin to bite on any bait. After the ice melts, it is preferable to fish with spinners, castmasters, and spoons. The asp spinners are becoming uninteresting, although they play well in a strong current. A successful spinner with a front dive after the fish go to spawn.
3. In summer , the asp is capricious, so catching can become difficult. It is better to fish in cool times, in the morning at sunset.
4. In the fall, you can fish with any bait, but it’s better to use a heavy one made of brass (copper), weighing 10-12 g.

The fish is more active in the morning or evening; at this time it reacts to the oscillators, which are unable to deviate from the given axis at the time of retrieving. Asp fishing is unique depending on the year. It is better to catch it in cool weather, in the morning or evening at sunset.

How to choose lures for asp?

The weight of the spoon depends on how large the asp you want to catch.

The lure needs to be selected depending on many factors. For example, the entire catch will depend on the weight of the spoon. In order to catch an asp, the spoon must be small in size. In addition, it should be bright, and its playing should also be interesting.

To ensure casting range and throwing accuracy, you need to use a spinner that has a narrow, elongated shape. It will be able to penetrate the depth and will be able to work perfectly even with a large current, which the asp loves so much.

Also, the weight will depend on the seasons and the size of the reservoir. If the reservoir is shallow, then you need to choose a spoon with a small load, but if there is a strong current, then the size of the load needs to be increased.

If fishing occurs in winter, then the load also needs to be increased. This is necessary so that the spoon reaches the bottom, where the asp will be located.

The principle that the larger the fish that needs to be caught, the larger the bait you need to use, does not always work. First of all, you need to focus on what asps like to eat in this area.

The ability of the spinner to cast long distances is very important ; for better range, spinners weighing no more than 15 grams, but no less than 9, are suitable.

For asp fishing, the best choice is a spinner that will have the shape of an oval, and its length should be as long as possible. For asp fishing, there are some universal spoons, sizes 1-3 (long) and 2-4 (aglia).

The color of the spinner will also depend on several factors. These are weather conditions. If the weather is sunny, then you need to choose a copper-colored spoon. In the evening or when the weather is cloudy, the lure should be silver. Alternatively, you can use gold or chrome.

Catching asp with a spoon

The asp spinner is an artificial bait with a narrow body, which allows for quick retrieval and convenient casting.

In appearance, the bait is similar to bleak and small chub, which are preferred for feeding asp. This is a river fish. In summer, it spends more time at the surface, which is important to consider when choosing bait for stable performance. Closer to autumn, the predator moves to the middle horizon or sinks to the bottom. At this time, slow wiring with step play is performed.

Tips from experienced fishermen

The asp is constantly cautious, so it is unlikely that one will be able to rejoice at a good catch without knowing some of the characteristics and habits of the fish.

Experienced fishermen recommend:

• choose places for fishing as far from the coast as possible and quiet ones without nearby beaches and large crowds of people;
• pick up heavy spoons when fishing after spawning fish;
• it is better if the terrain is dense (with tree trunks littered) and the water is covered with vegetation, which the asp likes;
• the predator cannot be allowed to quickly detect the presence of a person , therefore, when delivering the bait to the parking lot, it is important to make casts with a range of at least 100 m;
• when fishing from the shore, casting tackle should be as accurate as possible;
• It is undesirable to use spinners with light weight , less than 30 grams;
• the bait, regardless of the variety, must have excellent flight (aerodynamic) characteristics for casting range;
• it is advisable to fish in calm weather in order to send the bait at a distance that allows you to remain unnoticed, as if in shelter;
• when fishing with spoons, it is important first of all to identify the habitats of the asp , for example, where you can hear the beating of the tail on the surface of the water when searching for food;
• asp loves bleak , so the best shape of the spoon is elongated, the color is silver, similar to the stunned bleak;
• when splashes appear on the surface of the water, fishermen should not hesitate to cast the bait to the location of the fish, then carry out a uniform retrieve so that the asp does not come off the hook;
• The success of a spinner on the water depends on the time of year , weather conditions, features of the reservoir and terrain.

It is impossible to give a definite answer: which spinner option for catching asp is the best. Each of the models described has its pros and cons. It is also important to use spinners under certain conditions and the correct wiring technique. Anglers who want to fish for asp should take into account the depth of the reservoir and choose wisely when choosing turntables and spinners.

The main thing is that the bites are constant even when catching asp in the most inappropriate and difficult weather conditions.
