How to make a diverter leash for pike: detailed analysis

The retractable leash for hunting toothfish, called by fishermen the Moscow rig, as it belongs to the spaced variety, provides for the presence of two structural elements. This means two leashes: the first for mounting the load and the second for the bait, that is, the outlet itself.

Features of pike fishing

Jig fishing provides two types of mounted equipment. The first option is a combined arrangement, where the sinker and bait are located at a minimum distance. The second method is called spaced, and with it the two mentioned elements are located at a considerable distance from each other.

It is this option that includes a retractable leash for pike fishing. Taking into account the effectiveness of the installation, it is worth considering what exactly it is and how to catch a toothy predator with it?

Braided fishing line is the best choice when using a retractable leash. Such products have a minimum extensibility, so the angler can correctly move the bait, focusing on the habits of the fish. He will notice even a cautious bite by performing a quick hook.

What is a diverter leash?

A diverting leash is a special type of equipment that allows you to catch pike at the bottom. It is used both in spinning fishing (mainly with jig) and when fishing with a feeder. The main task of such equipment is to separate the sinker and the bait. This allows timid and cautious fish to fall on the fisherman’s hook with less fear, and in the case of a spinning rod, it makes it possible to move the bait at a short distance from the bottom, simulating the natural movement of a small fish.

A wobbler on a retractable leash is not often used, but sometimes its use brings good bites. For a retractable leash, floating wobblers - suspenders - are most suitable. Such a wobbler will stay afloat in the water without changing its depth when retrieving.

Methods for installing a diverter leash on a pike

The diverter leash can be mounted in various ways. The main options are the following methods:

blind without swivels - the equipment contains only hooks and fishing line, which are inextricably linked with each other;
using swivels – for this option you can use double or triple swivels;
sliding – and both the leash with a weight and the bait can slide, depending on the installation.

Installation methods and equipment for spinning rods

In order to install a diverter leash for pike fishing with your own hands, you need the following:

sinker, it can be elongated in the shape of an olive or in the shape of a small, thin pencil, it is also called a Tyrolean stick;
offset hook;
swivel or better yet a tee with swivels;
fishing line for the diverter leash itself; In principle, any diameter of at least 0.20 mm is suitable for equipping leashes;
cord or main line that is wound on the spinning reel;
bait, maybe anything.

A triple swivel is attached to the main cord. For the top ring using a clinch knot (but you can use any other one). If fishing line is used, it must be wetted so that it does not burn when the knot is tightened. Of course, it will hold the knot, but when hooking or playing fish, this place will be weakened.

We proceed to the production of a leash from the swivel to the load. To do this, cut a fishing line 30 cm long. We tie a sinker to it. Using exactly the same knot as before, “clinch.” We tie the other end of the fishing line to the lower ring of the swivel using the same type of knot. For the sake of experimentation, you can, of course, tie it to the middle ring of the swivel, but basically they tie it to the bottom one, as you like.

We make a leash that will go from the tee to the hook. The length should be from 1m to 1.5m.

We tie a hook to one end through a clasp, and tie the other end to the side swivel of the tee.

We cut off the excess ends of the fishing line. The result should be the following structure: where at the very bottom there is a sinker, a 20, 30 cm leash goes up, a tee swivel and from it a leash with a hook goes to the side, and the main line goes up to the top to the reel.

Material

For a diverting leash specifically for pike, you should use a diverting leash made of fluorocarbon with a diameter of 0.8 mm, or one made of monofilament plus a metal leash , only in this case it is worth considering that part of the leash made of fishing line should be short so that the total length of the leash is not higher than necessary.

Sinker

Professional fishermen have the opinion that initially the predator notices the movement of the sinker, and only then the bait. For diversion leashes there are several types of sinkers, which are individual for each body of water:

Sinkers in the shape of cones or pins. Universal sinkers for any body of water and bottom. They fly well, far. They clearly convey all the moments of wiring and tapping the bottom.

The weight of the load must be selected based on fishing conditions , such as: presence of current, wind, casting distance. Basically this is a load from 10 to 20 grams.

Bait

Depending on whether the angler chooses the bait correctly or incorrectly, his catch will depend. It is also very important to select the material from which the bait will be made. It is best if it is soft silicone , which plays well and lively during wiring.

For a retractable leash when fishing for pike, you should not reduce the size of the bait. It is best to take from 5 inches and above. Typically used:

all kinds of wobblers;
rotating and oscillating spoons;
jig heads;
vibrotails;
twisters;
worms;
frogs, octopuses, crayfish and many other non-standard formal silicone baits. For example, it could be edible rubber, slugs, twisters, or live bait directly on the pond itself.

Tackle with wobbler

A wobbler on a retractable leash is not often used, but sometimes its use brings good bites. For a retractable leash, floating wobblers - suspenders - are most suitable. Such a wobbler will stay afloat in the water without changing its depth when retrieving.

Photo 3. The choice of bait may vary.

Since the retractable leader is a jigging equipment, standard jigging equipment is required to use it. In our case, this tackle should be a jig spinning rod for catching pike. How to correctly arrange the tackle so that it is the most practical for fishing using Moscow equipment?

Making a diverting leash is not difficult and will take 2-3 minutes. The installation of a diverter leash for catching pike is somewhat different than for catching other predators. Moreover, the manufacturing scheme remains common to all predators, and only the components of the equipment change.

The sequence of making equipment is as follows:

A triple swivel is attached to the braided fishing line, which is equipped with a spinning rod, to its outermost loop.

Photo 1. Triple swivel.

Photo 2. We tie the weight to the bottom ring.

Mounting options

A convenient way to attach this tackle to a spinning rod is blind mounting. His technique consists of attaching a weight to the end of the fishing line and attaching a leash to it using a knot at a height of about 30 cm from the weight. This installation technique is accessible even to novice fishermen.

A more complex technique for attaching to a spinning rod is sliding mounting. It is somewhat similar to the blind type of installation in a mirror image: the leash is attached to the weight on the fishing line, using a knot, so that it can slide back and forth without hindrance while fishing. The bait is placed on a leash, at a distance of 20-30 cm from the knot.

This arrangement will allow the fisherman to move the bait while catching a predator. However, one drawback should be taken into account: when casting a spinning rod, the load will fly into the water first.

Therefore, when installing it on a fishing line, it is recommended to make an additional stopper, which will limit its free movement.

Installation methods

There are several ways to install the main leash. The simplest is to tie both leashes to a simple swivel. But the following methods are more often used:

Deaf

For this type of installation, a triple swivel . The main line is tied to one ring of the swivel, and the cargo leash and the leash with bait are tied to the other two.

Sliding

Such equipment is also called “Moscow” , since it is believed that it was invented by Moscow spinning athletes. Installation is carried out as follows:

A swivel with a weight leash attached to it is put on the main line;
another swivel is tied to the main line;
A leash with a hook is tied to this swivel.

How to do

Line selection

The requirements for the fishing line are quite serious, which is associated with the pike itself. Instead of the main fishing line, you should use a braided cord; it is practically inextensible, and also, unlike monofilament fishing line, it feels the bite much better. For the leash itself, a regular monofilament line is used.
IMPORTANT! The breaking capacity of the fishing line for the leash should be lower than that of the main one, otherwise the fisherman risks breaking the entire equipment when hooking or biting a large fish.

Also, due to the “memory skills” of monofilament line, it should be replaced after every fishing trip. If it is not possible to replace monofilament line every time, then fluorocarbon line can be used: this is due to its lower “memory abilities”, which allows it to be used repeatedly. As for the sizes of fishing lines, there are the following requirements:

The length of the leash for the load should be 20–30 centimeters.
The bait leash should have dimensions from 0.5 to 1.5 meters.
The diameter of the fishing line should be from 0.16 to 0.2 mm.
There must be an insert made of a metal leash or string.

Attaching the leader and sinker

There are 3 main methods of fastening:

Tying to the main line “loop to loop”. At either end of the leash with a hook, a double knot is made into which a loop is threaded on the main line. Next, you need to insert a hook into the same loop. This option makes sense to use only on reservoirs without a current. There is no possibility to quickly change the leash.
Attaching the leash using a swivel. This option is great when fishing for pike in the current - this is due to the fact that such a fastening does not allow the bait to twist. IMPORTANT! It will not be possible to quickly change the leash.
Leash attachment with carabiner and swivel. With this fastening method, thanks to the snap hook, the possibility of twisting is eliminated, and also, unlike the above fastening methods, it is possible to quickly change the leash.

Installation of equipment

There are 4 main ways to install equipment:

The first method is as follows: a swivel is tied to the end of the fishing line (cord) using a regular knot, to which a leash with a sinker and a length of no more than 30 centimeters is attached. A leash is also attached to the other eye of the swivel, but the bait will already be attached to it.

IMPORTANT! The length of the leash with bait should be approximately 1 meter.

A fastener is knitted to the cord or fishing line, to which a swivel is attached. Next we follow the steps from the first method.
A fastener is also tied to the cord or fishing line, to which this time a tackle no more than 30 centimeters long is attached with a swivel, on one end of which a sinker is attached, and a loop is made on the other. Another swivel should move freely along the fishing line, to which you need to attach a leash with bait.
A loop is knitted at a distance of 40 centimeters from the end of the fishing line. A sinker should be attached to the end of this line, and a retractable leash behind the loop.

As you can see, the creation process is not complicated, although it does take some time.

Fishing with a retractable leash (wiring)

The diverter leash for pike perch, pike and perch works according to the same scheme and there is no difference in their structure.

When fishing from the shore, most often the equipment is thrown to the maximum distance. In this case, it is advisable to take into account the nature of the bottom and avoid fishing in highly snug places, since the entire fishing process involves tapping the bottom with a sinker, followed by a meter-long leash with bait.

After the bait falls into the water, wait until it reaches the bottom; with the line taut at the tip of the rod, you will feel a weakening - it’s time to make a small reel. Rewinding can occur either slowly or quickly, but with stops. Most often this is 2-4 turns of the coil and stopping for a few seconds.

During stops, your line should be taut and if a bite occurs, hook it immediately. The pike perch has a very strong jaw, which cannot be caught with a light hook.

During retrieving between pauses, you can play with the tip of the rod, thereby giving even greater vibration to your bait.

See how a professional fisherman wires a lead rig with a twister.

A retractable leash is more promising than standard jig tackle in that the likelihood of the bait getting caught is much lower, because it is more often in the water and not on the bottom. The action of the bait is also not constrained by a heavy load.

You can use several baits and several leashes in a rig. The next leashes should be shorter than 1 meter and located at a relative distance from the first one so as not to catch each other.

The success of fishing greatly depends on correct wiring. In bad weather, sluggish fish prefer slow-moving prey, take this into account.

Comments

Is it possible to catch pike this way? and what test is needed for a spinning rod?? and what is better to use fishing line or thread?

The spinning rod test should be 40-120 grams and it is better to use braid.

Will regular silicone with a jig work?

For fishing with a retractable leash, it is better to use braided line, since fishing takes place at depth and you need to tap the bottom with a weight. No stretching is very important here.

I don’t know what you mean by ordinary silicone. Twisters and vibrating tails without a jig head are suitable. It is still better to use a weight in the form of a pear or a tube (without a hook, of course) - so that there are no snags.

thanks a lot !! and one more question!! but what if the pike walks on the surface??how to do the wiring??

and another question: if the reservoir is no more than 25 cm, is it possible to fish there?

If the depth is shallow, then a diverting leash is not needed here - use wobblers, ranoutrom.com/sposoby-lovli/shhuka/rybalka-na-voblery.html here is about choosing wobblers for pike and correct wiring.

If you are sure that there is a pike in the reservoir, then you can catch it.

The spinning test primarily depends on the size of the bait. In principle, from 15 to 40 is quite good for a lead and jig fishing. Naturally, you can catch pike. Take only larger baits and experiment with colors. In one weather and place it will be taken with dark or natural colors, on another day and in another place - with fluorescent baits.

Do you need a carbine for a silicone fish? (regular) or should it not spin?

Alexander, do you mean vibrotail? It is better to use a swivel, especially when fishing with a twister. Without a swivel, the equipment will still twist, regardless of how the vibrating tail behaves in the water.

It is better to install a three-way swivel in the place where the diverter leash is attached - there will be less confusion.

And if you put small carbines everywhere, then the tackle turns into an easily dismountable and easily transportable option. Plus, if you are fishing for perch, try a small unshipped perch spinner instead of silicone...also a cool option.

I read a lot of good advice. Thanks for the detailed descriptions. Happy fishing everyone. Ladoga)))

And what kind of lures are needed for catching pike, I used all the wobblers but none of them helped. Young man, help me and tell me how and what bait I should use to catch this pike. Help.

Great info, thanks a lot

I fish with edible rubber, it’s a little expensive, but it all pays off with interest...

Oleg, why is this here?

I do the installation as follows: the main one, put the smallest swivel on it in one ear, then the same swivel in both ears of the main one, two turns each so that it slides along the main one with a weight at the end

When fishing, the swivel moves towards the leash, respectively, thereby also reducing the risk of getting caught in the load and losing the trophy. I only use monofilament. The river has 70-90 meters of driftwood. I carry a kilo of weights and bait with me. But the result is not bad at times.

It can be done easier by using float stop beads, two or three pieces in a row, depending on the expected size of the fish when biting. Then, when hooking, the leash moves towards the sinker and the fishing process improves significantly.

Retractable leash catcher when the sinker walks along the main line

Very informative, thanks to the author! I tried a retractable leash in the summer, it is much more effective than a jig in terms of the number of fish. Have you tried fishing with a retractable leash in late autumn, or even in autumn at all, will it bite?

I fished with a leash from May to November, catchy and simple tackle, and edible rubber on the underwater increases the number of bites.

I catch Bass using all sorts of perch methods...thanks for the advice...Perch or Bass stopped biting in November, maybe a retractable leash will help...we'll try! !!

I didn’t catch any bass, but the perch pecked until the ice on the outlet.

You can also familiarize yourself with the binding option outlined in the following video.

The simplest and fastest way is to mount the leash to the fishing line with a sliding knot; it allows you to easily change the distance between the attachment point of the leash and the sinker.
A certain group of anglers prefer to mount the leash with fixed knots, of which there are a great many ways to knit.

Hooks

If fishing takes place in shallow waters, as well as with all kinds of underwater obstacles, then the most suitable hook option is an offset hook. The hook should be the size of the bait, and its end should be sharpened.

Lures can be made from regular or edible silicone, into which attractants are introduced during its production. The choice of such baits is so large that it is difficult to settle on just one choice. The use of edible rubber is especially important when fishing for perch. In general, if there is a choice, it is better to give preference to edible rubber.

Bait selection

The most popular baits for a retractable leash are twisters and vibrotails . They perform well both when used on a classic jig rig and on spaced rigs.

To achieve the best results when fishing for pike on the outlet, you should definitely add suspenders to your arsenal of baits - models that have neutral buoyancy. Such vibrotails and twisters do not float or sink, but hang in the water column. Suspenders attract pike very well if you take pauses during their placement.

If a weighted offset machine floating baits should be used instead of suspenders .

Thanks to a small weight located on the hook, such artificial silicone fish acquire neutral buoyancy.

When fishing on the outlet should be given to baits made of edible rubber - silicone with the addition of attractants. The fish readily grabs such twisters and vibrotails .

After a successful attack, a pike throws them out of its mouth much less often than baits made from ordinary silicone. If you pause after the bite, giving the predator a little time, it may begin to swallow them, in which case the chances of a successful hooking are much higher.

It is when fishing without weight or using spaced rigs that baits made of edible rubber are especially relevant. Without feeling the weight of the load, even a passive pike confidently takes such vibrating tails and twisters .

Also, to catch pike on a retractable leash, you can successfully use other types of bait - spinners, wobblers and even dead fish on a tackle. But they are used quite rarely.

Elements of the diverter leash equipment

Spinning

Such equipment is characterized by the fact that the bait is always in a suspended state and it is difficult to control its play. In this case, it is necessary to have a very sensitive rod with a fast action. Only with the help of such a rod can you understand how the bait behaves.

If fishing is carried out from a boat, then a rod with a length of 2 to 2.4 meters is sufficient. When fishing from the shore, it is better to take a rod up to 2.7 meters long. The spinning test is selected depending on the fishing conditions, or more precisely on the weight of the load. If there is a current, then you will need a solid load, weighing up to 70 grams, or even more. Accordingly, the rod test is selected.

It is advisable that the weight of the rod be minimal, otherwise you will not get any pleasure from the fishing process. This is due to the fact that fishing with a spinning rod requires constant monitoring of the gear. This means that the rod is constantly in the hands of the spinner. A rod that is too heavy will quickly lead to arm fatigue.

Coil

The reel for the tackle is selected depending on the size and characteristics of the fishing rod. There are no special requirements for it. The main thing is that the reel is reliable and can withstand constant casting.

Main line

It is advisable to use braided fishing line, as it does not stretch and will be able to transmit the slightest bites to the tip of the rod. Its diameter depends on many factors, such as the presence of a current, the weight of the load, and the size of the catch. When fishing in the current, it is better to opt for braided line. It is stronger, which means you can use a fishing line with a smaller diameter to create less resistance to the flow.

Leash

Retractable leash (Moscow equipment)

To make a leash, you can take regular monofilament fishing line. Its breaking load should be less than the breaking load of the main line. This is necessary so that in case of a snag you do not have to lose your equipment.

At the same time, it should be remembered that monofilament fishing line has memory, so it is used for one time only. For your next fishing trip, it is advisable to tie the leashes using fresh fishing line.

Recently, almost all anglers have been using fluorocarbon as a leash. It is not visible to fish in the water, and it is somewhat stiffer than monofilament, which leads to less overlap during casting.

The size of the leash for the load is 20 or 30 cm, the size of the leash with a hook is from 50 to 150 cm. Its diameter is selected in the range of 0.16-0.2 mm. If there is a high probability of a pike biting, then it is better to put a metal leash.

Silicone baits

Lures can be made from regular or edible silicone, into which attractants are introduced during its production. The choice of such baits is so large that it is difficult to settle on just one choice. The use of edible rubber is especially important when fishing for perch. In general, if there is a choice, it is better to give preference to edible rubber.

Hook

When using equipment with a retractable leader, the same hooks are used as when fishing with a jig. If the bottom is clean, then you can use ordinary hooks that have a long shank. If there is a possibility of snagging, then it is better to take offset hooks and mount non-snagging hooks.

The weight of the sinker is selected in accordance with the fishing conditions: current, depth, fishing technique, type and activity of fish, etc. On average, its weight is 15-30 grams. For novice fishermen, the following rule is suitable - the mass of the weight is equal to two or three masses of the bait. A sinker that is too light or heavy will significantly reduce the effectiveness of the tackle.

Gear selection

, a long rod
is best suited - 2.4, 2.7 or even 3 m in size. Such a spinning rod allows you to clearly control the play of the bait. It can be built in any way - medium-fast, fast or super-fast . With all these types of forms, you can perform the correct wiring of the outlet leash .

The rod test is selected depending on the conditions at the fishing site. For pike hunting in most situations, a spinning rod with a test range from 10 to 40 g is suitable. If you plan to fish in areas with great depths and strong currents, you need a more powerful rod. If fishing will take place in still water and in shallow sections of rivers, you need to take a lighter spinning rod.

special requirements for a reel for fishing with Moscow equipment. Any high-quality inertia-free machine will do; you can also use a multiplier. It is better to use braided fishing line . It has a number of advantages that make fishing on the outlet as comfortable and effective as possible:

Braided fishing line differs from monofilament in its smaller diameter, thanks to this you can cast longer, and braided line is also much less carried away by the flow of water when fishing in the current;
The cord hardly stretches even when throwing the rig at a distance, so it provides maximum sensitivity - when fishing with it, the angler can clearly control the movement of the bait and set it to the desired game.

Thus, when fishing with braid, you can throw to promising points located at a great distance and present the bait to the pike in the best possible way.

Sinker

The weight of the sinker is selected in accordance with the fishing conditions: current, depth, fishing technique, type and activity of fish, etc. On average, its weight is 15-30 grams. For novice fishermen, the following rule is suitable - the mass of the weight is equal to two or three masses of the bait. A sinker that is too light or heavy will significantly reduce the effectiveness of the tackle.

The shape of the sinker should minimize the likelihood of snagging. Depends on the condition of the bottom at the fishing site and casting distance. There are three main types:

Attaching the leader and sinker

There are several mounting options:

The essence of the method is that the diverting leash slides freely on a separate piece of fishing line and cannot overlap with the main fishing line, which eliminates the possibility of the gear getting tangled. It is easy to replace a leash with a hook - the clasp is unfastened and the old leash is removed through a loop and a new leash is put on.

Lead line and line to sinker

The length of the leash with bait is usually about 1 meter, but it can be longer or shorter depending on the conditions and fishing depth. The optimal length is 100-120 cm. The leash to the sinker has a length of 20 to 40 cm.

The wiring is also slightly different. Unlike silicone baits, which are rigidly connected to a lead sinker, a bait on a retractable leash sinks to the bottom much more slowly. Consequently, it plays more naturally in the water column, remaining practically in one place longer.

Fishing Features

Depending on the season:

In the summer, the use of a pass-through for passive pike is very important. Slow wiring with long pauses works well. The predator lives mainly at depth, so it is better to use wobblers or spinners.
In the fall , the predator has an active appetite; fast and aggressive movements with sharp jerks are effective.

With and without current:

In reservoirs with a current , casting is carried out upward against the force of the water flow. The sinker sinks to the bottom, and the bait is revived by the current. This game of bait looks quite appetizing and intriguing for a predator.
If fishing is carried out in water areas with stagnant water , a long game of bait in one place is used. Here the angler himself makes jerks and pulls with the rod to force the silicone fish to play, while the sinker is held at one point.

Video: fishing technique with a retractable leash

Catching perch with this equipment is practically no different from fishing for other predators. The main difference is a lighter rod, a smaller diameter of the main cord and lead, and the absence of a steel lead in front of the hook. It is recommended to perform the hooking with a slight delay, and the landing must be done evenly, avoiding slack.

It is not for nothing that pike perch is considered an active predator only conditionally; provoking it to attack can be very difficult. And its habitats, littered areas of the bottom, snags and stones, make its capture difficult. In addition to durable tackle that can withstand vigorous hooking, the use of an offset hook is mandatory. Of great importance is not only the correct selection of the color of the bait, but also its balancing. Otherwise, if the silicone rotates, the number of bites decreases sharply or is completely absent.

Thus, we can conclude that catching a predator using a rig with a retractable leash is an alternative in cases where a classic jig is ineffective. And with periodic biting, increase its intensity.

Fishing technique and tactics

Bait

As bait, it is possible to use a huge number of different elements, such as spoons, vibrating tails or twisters. Now about each in more detail:

Twisters. At the moment, twisters on offset hooks are especially popular. This can be explained by their low cost and catchability. IMPORTANT! Small baits are recommended, up to two centimeters in size. The shank of the hook should be chosen in medium or small size. The question of color does not have clear answers, because it completely depends on the fishing conditions. For example, in bad weather conditions it is worth using bright colors, and in sunny conditions, a natural-colored bait would be an ideal option.
Vibrating tails. are less popular than twisters. The main reason is the complete lack of weight, which results in no stabilization when fishing. However, the diverter jig is the most common diverter bait.
Spoons. There are several types, although the popularity of this bait when fishing with a retractable leash is quite low: this is due to the inability to completely replace the twister.

As you can see, the twister bait is the most popular. This is due to its versatility, which is why other baits are compared with it. In addition to these baits, wobblers can be distinguished, which are also inferior to twisters in versatility. Regarding color, everything has already been said above. Correct wiring

There are several wiring options, but only one can be considered optimal when fishing for pike.

Uniform wiring with a lead. This method is the simplest, but at the same time it is practically the most effective. It can be done as follows. After casting, you need to wait until the sinker touches the bottom.

Fishing in currents and still water

The peculiarity of fishing in the current was described above. This is the optimal fishing method that even a novice fisherman can do, because the main thing for this is to choose good tackle.

Fishing in still water will be noticeably more difficult. After the pike bites, it must be sharply hooked so that it catches well on the hook. This is due to the fact that pike perfectly senses danger.

Features of catching pike on a retractable leash in autumn

The main difference between autumn fishing is the more active state of pike than, for example, in summer. Therefore, you should not use bright bait - natural colors will be enough. The main casting direction when fishing on the river will be cast upstream.

To summarize, we can say that catching a pike is not difficult: to do this, it is enough to make a correct leash, as well as follow the fishing technique. Beginner fishermen are still advised to catch pike in the summer, since they may not have enough skills and reaction for the more active autumn pike, although catching an “autumn specimen” will be much more pleasant.

In addition, catching “one for the price of two” will be an equally pleasant surprise. This is especially true in the fall, when in the belly of a caught pike you can find still alive, for example, crucian carp.
