Uniform wiring
This is the simplest wiring method used when fishing. The wiring technique is based on uniform winding of the fishing line with a reel. Apart from the reel, no part of the rod takes part in the action of the bait. In this case, you can only regulate the speed of movement of the bait, and the depth of its immersion depends on the speed. Fast retrieval is suitable for fishing at shallow depths, when the bait moves in the upper layers of water. Slower retrievals are used when fishing at depths, and the slower the retrieving, the greater the depth at which the bait can be cast. There are baits, for example, spinners, which retain real play only when retrieved evenly. Most other lures and spinners can be used with any type of retrieve.
Twitching and jerking
The word "Jerk" when translated means jerk. Jerkbait type lures originated in Europe. These were impressive blocks of wood and were intended for pike fishing. The gear consisted of a powerful rod, and the bait was carried out using powerful jerking movements.
A synonym for the word "Jerk" is the word "Twitching". It seems that there is not much difference, since these words can be used in the same sense. The packaging of such baits may contain either the inscription “Jerk” or the inscription “twitching”. But if you read carefully, there is a significant difference. Twitching is characterized by a thinner and less sharp retrieve than jerking, but both retrieves are based on horizontal movements of the rod.
Minnow wobblers are most suitable for twitching because they have a narrow body.
Twitching
This type of wiring is designed for catching predatory fish with baits such as a wobbler. Twitching is a jerking type of wiring, which is carried out using sharp movements of the rod in one direction or the other. Twitching can be low amplitude, medium amplitude and high amplitude, depending on the fishing conditions. At the same time, the wobbler moves jerkily, changing direction, and its movements resemble a weak, wounded fish. Such movements of the bait force even the laziest predator to react to the play of the wobbler. For this type of fishing, you should choose a powerful spinning rod with a length of 2 to 2.4 meters. It is better to take a braided line so that the jerks are clearly pronounced. There are many options for twitching, but it is very important to choose the right wobbler so that it is narrow-bodied and driveable.
Hard monotonous twitching involves high-amplitude movements with the rod. The amplitude of movement is up to 60 cm. Between jerks, the fishing line is reeled in with a reel.
Hard chaotic twitching - jerks and pauses are different from each other every time.
Hard twitching with pauses - after 3-4 twitches, a pause of 3-4 seconds is made.
Soft twitching - small amplitude movements of the rod are made with acceleration or deceleration.
Stop & Go - slow movements of the rod, which are accompanied by winding the reel: 3-4 turns of the reel - 3-4 seconds of pause.
Leashes for equipping fishing circles
First of all, leashes differ in the type of material. The easiest to manufacture are leashes made from thick fishing line with a diameter of 0.6-0.8 mm; they are made single-core. With such a thickness, they resist pike teeth quite well, but we prefer to use double leads made of thinner fishing line with a diameter of 0.25-0.4 mm. The fact is that they are more flexible, which gives an advantage in case of poor bite from cautious fish. This leash is not 100% immune from overbite, but even though the predator sometimes grinds one of the veins, as a rule, it can be led to the second. In recent years, more wear-resistant fluorocarbon, which is also less noticeable to fish, has made it possible to increase the reliability of such installation. The cost of this material, of course, is higher than simple nylon, but it also lasts longer. The only thing you should remember is that there are leader and “spinning” fluorocarbon. A lead pike is more difficult to bite, but it is also tougher. The spinning leash is softer, and in the version of the two-strand leash it can be used no less successfully.
Making the leash itself is simple. We fold the fishing line of the required length (40-60 cm) in half and knit 3-4 ordinary knots along the entire length, and the first knot should be 5-10 mm from the eye of the hook, so that a possible undercut occurs in the next segment, thereby leaving the possibility of fishing on one of two lines. The last knot is made double or even triple to avoid spontaneous untying. The live bait is attached “under the gills”: the free end is inserted from the inside of the gills and brought out through the mouth, after which a double is inserted into the outer loop.
Previously, in conditions of shortages and the lack of other options, leashes were made from thin steel wire for aircraft modeling or guitar strings. Their production requires more time; soldering is required for reliable fastening. The leash is inserted into the baitfish's mouth and removed either through the gills or through the anus.
Such leashes were replaced by tungsten ones. The placement of live bait is carried out in the same way as with a double line. The pike will not bite such a leash even if it wants to, but tungsten has a well-known disadvantage - the memory of the material. Often, after the first bite, it curls into a spiral and becomes unsuitable for further fishing. You can straighten it; to do this, you need to take the leash with two pliers and, stretching it over the flame of a gas burner, warm it up, as they say, red-hot. At this moment, it is important not to overdo it, since the heated thin leash can be torn. After such a simple procedure, it becomes perfectly straight again. However, you can use it with one leash no more than 3-4 times, since the material inevitably loses strength and can fail at the most inopportune moment.
Classic wiring
This is active high-speed wiring, which is carried out using a coil. The bait is cast, after which a pause is made so that the bait sinks to the bottom. After this, several turns of the coil are made, followed by a pause. During this time, usually up to 4 seconds, the jig bait falls to the bottom again. It is during the pause, when the bait is in free fall, that most bites occur. As soon as the bait reaches the bottom, the wiring continues again, and the number of turns of the reel can be increased or decreased, as well as the duration of the pause. This process is repeated until the bait approaches the shore. After this, if there is no bite, you can throw the bait again. You should not fish the same place for a long time. If after 3 or 5 casts there are no bites, then you can move to the next place.
Wiring for oscillators
For oscillators, uniform and stepped wiring is also used. Even retrieve is best suited for wide areas with clear water and no weeds, where there is a good view for the same pike.
The step with oscillators is performed in areas with a flat bottom and with changing terrain. More bites occur in those moments when the bait slowly, like an autumn leaf, sinks to the bottom. You can change the length of the jerks during one wiring. In this case, the oscillator will fall longer. The length of the nods should also be changed when the terrain changes quickly. You can diversify the wiring a little if you speed up the pace and make jerks with different frequencies and amplitudes. In this case, the bait will move chaotically and possibly attract a predator.
Twitching is also good for swings. You can perform jerks with different frequencies and amplitudes, and pause. The manner of play is selected for each spinner, so there are no hard and fast rules in this case. Pay attention to the transparency of the water. If fishing is carried out in an area with muddy water, then we move the bait at low speed and take more pauses so that the predator notices the moving object. When fishing in clear water, the lure can be cast at a faster pace.
A very effective technique when twitching a shaker is braking and accelerating. After casting, we wait until the spoon sinks to the bottom and begin to perform a uniform retrieve, changing the pace. For example, you can make five revolutions at a slow speed, and then perform three at a fast speed. In this case, only the reel works, and we simply hold the spinning rod in our hands.
The active predator responds well to frequent but short jerks of the spoon. The jerks are performed with a rod. You can make smoother and sharper jerks, change their frequency. First, we make a short jerk, about 20 cm, then we make a reel and repeat the jerk.
Another interesting fishing tactic is yawing. Its essence is to jerk the rod left and right. In this case, the spinner will rush in different directions.
All these methods can be combined to obtain mixed posting options. For example, uniform and stepped wiring, or jerking and stepped with pauses, go well together.

American wiring
The meaning of American fishing is that the movements of the bait are carried out by a rod, and not by a reel, as in the classic version. After the bait falls to the bottom again, the fishing line is reeled in with a reel. Depending on the fishing conditions, the length of the rod is selected. The longer the rod, the larger the step you can make. A small rod won't allow you to do this. After each touch of the bait to the bottom and removal of the fishing line, another pull-up is made with the rod.
American wiring is more sensitive to the bait, since its movement is controlled during pull-ups. In this case, the bait, fishing line, rod and hand of the spinning rod become one.
The important role of pause
Uniform wiring is characterized by straight-line movement of the bait, without any deviations from the course. It cannot be said that it is catchy, but if after a certain period of time you make light pulls on the tackle, this will diversify the retrieve and you can achieve better results. It is the mixture of styles that very often helps to excite the fish and provoke it to bite. This is very important if the fish is not active and completely refuses to chase the bait. Typically, fish activity is influenced by natural factors such as weather. Depending on the temperature or atmospheric pressure, the fish may behave unpredictably.
Whatever wiring is carried out, it is necessary to make pauses of varying durations. Even if it is a mixture of styles, pauses will do their job and the number of bites can be increased. It should be remembered that too short pauses are not effective and can harm the fishing process itself. Pauses can interest any predator. Although in summer the perch is reluctant to take such baits. He prefers uniform wiring without any tricks.
But there is a possibility that during a pause, when the fish has bitten, the bite may remain unnoticed. The fact is that during a pause the line sags, and the bite cannot engage the tip of the rod. As practice shows, such fears are in vain, since all baits have very sharp hooks. Moreover, there can be several such hooks (up to 3). Having taken the bait, you can with a high degree of probability say that the fish has been spotted. This is especially true for pike, which grabs the bait with a turn. You can notice a bite by the movement of the fishing line to the side, in extreme cases. In fact, for an experienced fisherman there will be no problems.
When a pause is made, there is no need to leave the cord taut. Unlike jig fishing, where the line must be kept tight, especially when there is wind, the wobbler will not be able to stay in place and motionless if the line is tight. A predator may reject the bait if it moves, albeit slowly. This suggests that a taut cord while stopping the retrieve can have a negative impact on the entire fishing experience.
When going fishing with a spinning rod, you should always remember that the duration of pauses in different bodies of water may vary. Therefore, you need to be prepared for the fact that you will have to experiment and experimentally set the duration of the pauses. Naturally, by increasing the duration of pauses, the total time spent fishing decreases. Not every fisherman likes this, although everyone understands that sometimes there is no way out. There are fish in the reservoir and all that remains is to interest the predator, which for some reason is waiting.
Perhaps not everyone knows, especially novice hunters of predatory fish, that the use of such techniques requires powerful gear. By producing powerful jerks, the rod and line are subjected to additional forces. Therefore, you will have to use hard rods and thick (up to 0.4 mm) fishing line. If you use braided fishing line, the thickness can be reduced to 0.3 mm. This, in turn, complicates the use of the tackle, since the thickened fishing line alarms the already cautious fish.
It should be recalled that there are three types of wobblers: sinking, suspending and floating. Which of these three types to use in specific conditions requires certain skills that come with time. To improve your skills, you need to constantly go fishing with a spinning rod and make one cast after another.

Most Popular Animation
To play with a wobbler, sometimes it is not enough to work with just the blank. Certain types of animation require the participation of a reel, as well as additional movements of the angler's hand. Many wires are similar, others mix and match different types of animation.

Popular wobbler wiring:
- Uniform. This type of game is not difficult even for beginner spinners. Most often, the uniform is used when fishing for pike. Because other predatory fish species respond to the monotonous movements of their prey much worse.
The uniform pattern is also popular in fishing for chub and ide. The bait is sent downstream and the reel begins to be gradually tightened. The slower the wobbler goes, the greater the likelihood of a predator biting. Some anglers believe that artificial bait should be a game-breaker. As if reminding the pike of a wounded fish.
- Twitching. Retrieving is done by lightly twitching the rod. To do this, the spinning player uses a form, making a single or double swing to the side. For floating models, short pauses of up to 2 seconds are used. Suspenders and sinking products may remain inert for a longer period of time. After the swing, there is no need to take up the slack in the cord at high speed. Because this may disrupt the play of the artificial bait.
- Jerking. Essentially, this animation resembles Twitch in a more rigid form of manifestation. Initially, jerking was used for fishing with the largest wobblers - jerks. Their volume required a dynamic swing with a heavy rod. Like twitching, jerking is carried out in a horizontal plane.
- Ripping and pumping. Two similar types of animation differ in one single detail - the side of the swing. In the first case, the angler moves the blank down, and in the second, up. Both postings are made in a vertical plane, which adds a corresponding twist to the wobbler’s game.
- Stop and go. The classic, uniform animation alternates with short pauses, followed by a predator attack. In terms of fishing technique, this type of fishing is reminiscent of step jig fishing.
Stepped wiring
Posting combinations are very popular among spinning fishermen. Sometimes they bring much better results. From time to time it is useful to change the style of play and the presentation of the bait so that the predator does not have time to get used to it.

Catching pike in autumn with wobblers
Every fisherman dreams of a trophy like pike. It lives in almost all reservoirs of our country. There are many ways to catch it. And in the autumn, fishing with a wobbler is rightfully considered the most effective of them.
Pike habitats in autumn
With the arrival of autumn, the water temperature in the upper layers of rivers and lakes begins to slowly decrease, which forces the pike's food base to descend to depths in search of food and, accordingly, the predator itself. In autumn, pike mainly lives at a depth of 2–4 meters. Having changed its location, it now uses all bottom objects for camouflage, hiding in ambush, waiting for the time until the victim swims past it. The habitats of pike in the fall are underwater capes, snags, and hills that border on great depths. Such places attract predators from all over the reservoir, and they begin to put up with the proximity of their relatives.
Choosing a wobbler for autumn pike fishing
Since the wobbler very accurately imitates the appearance of a fish, it is an ideal bait. You need to choose the color of the wobbler depending on weather conditions and water transparency.
- If you fish in clear water and in sunny weather, then you need to choose a wobbler of matte colors.
- In cloudy weather, it is better to use bright colors.
- It was also found that in warm water, pike bite better on light-colored wobblers, and in cool water - dark ones.
The length of wobblers for pike ranges from 4 to 18 cm. If you want to catch specimens weighing more than 1 kilogram, then choose models with a length from 9 to 18 cm.
Wobblers are:
- floating,
- drowning,
- with neutral buoyancy (suspenders).
When retrieved, floating wobblers move in the upper layers of water, and when stopped they float up. They are divided into two types: surface swimming and diving. As for sinking wobblers, they are used primarily for bottom fishing for pike; they have sufficient weight for deepening, and their blades are either small or absent. With this wobbler, it is effective to use jerk wiring, since the depth of the wobbler changes.
Most fishermen clearly state that neutral wobblers are the most effective for fall pike fishing. From the second half of October until the onset of frost, suspenders occupy a leading position, since they remain at the required depth for a long time. By undertaking a slow jerk retrieve, fishermen get excellent results, since the jump-hold combination greatly excites a hungry pike if it is nearby.
Tactics for fishing for pike with a wobbler
Make several casts, and if they turn out to be ineffective, then it is advisable to try in another place, and if there is no bite there, then you need to change the wobbler. When the wobbler works, but there is no further bite, you need to try in another place, since it is difficult to force a passive predator to bite. In this case, it is better to look for an active hunter.
At the new location, you need to make several casts, no more than 8, throughout the entire water area. At first, do aggressive wiring based on an active pike. Then make a couple of slow wires with long delays in promising places. If there is no result, you need to change the bait.
It often happens when a pike hides in the coastal reeds. Unfortunately, if the depth is very deep, then it is impossible to lure it out of there. But usually a hungry pike often hides near the edge of the reeds. It rarely reacts to wiring along the reeds. When moving a wobbler in the direction from the reeds, the probability of a bite increases significantly, since most of the pike attacks occur from the tail.
The main task is to find exactly the place where the pike stands waiting for the victim. You should not move too far away from the reed thickets. The best option is when casting the chosen place, it is necessary that the distance between casts does not exceed 60 cm. And this article will tell you about poppers.

Wiring for spinners
The rotators can be driven both in a straight line and along other trajectories. One of the most effective wiring is wavy. It is used when fishing for an active predator. At first, the bait is led at the same speed, then the pace accelerates or slows down, the bait rises or falls. You can speed up the movement of the spinner by pulling the rod. We make sure that the fishing line is in a taut position. If the line slacks, the petal will not rotate as it should.
If it is necessary to lead the bait in an area with changing terrain, then use stepped wiring. With its help, it is possible to pass through depressions, protrusions and other areas. After casting, wait for the spinner to fall, then give it a jerk and start reeling.
Twitching is also effective wiring. And it is also performed when catching active fish. During a uniform retrieve, light jerks with the rod are performed after a certain time. The jerks can be done after a few seconds, or they can be performed after pauses of varying lengths. Everyone tries to add some variety to the wiring: changing the speed, increasing pauses, combining it with other types of wiring. Twitching allows for the use of various techniques. This method requires a sensitive reel with a well-functioning clutch.
