Description

The invention relates to amateur, sport fishing, and can be used when catching predatory fish on spinning from the shore and boat, as well as plumb and in winter from ice with various artificial baits imitating the movement of floating fish, and is used to improve or change the game of the bait.

Spinning is one of the most common types of fishing. Spinning fishing is effective, reckless, kindles a real sporting interest in anglers. Spinning fishing includes many directions, one of which is jig (jig fishing, jig spinning). A jig is a technique of spinning the lure (wiring - leading the bait in the water), in which its trajectory and speed of movement change dramatically. The advantage of jig is that this technique allows you to fish a selected place on a pond at different depths and distances; any predatory fish bites on a jig all year round. Mastering the jig does not take much time and is suitable for beginner spinning players. Every angler who decides to master spinning is faced with the question of choosing the right gear. For jig fishing, a jig head is used - a sinker, usually made of lead, of various weights and shapes (bullets, bananas, fish heads, spoons, boots, etc.), with a hook fixed in it, on which a bait in the form of a fish is put on ( for example, vibrotail, twister). The most popular and common jig head in the form of a ball, because. other shapes react perceptibly to the flow, making them harder to manipulate.

Due to the rigid structural connection, the hook on which the bait is put on is always located with the tip up. It is this arrangement that is effective when hooking predatory fish. Sinkers by weight are divided into: micro-jig - from 1.0 to 1.5 g (gram); mini jig - from 1.5 to 3.0 g; light jig - from 3.0 to 10.0 g; medium jig - from 10.0 to 20.0 g; heavy jig - from 20.0 to 50.0 g; super-heavy - more than 50.0 g.

The weight category of 1-4 grams is designed mainly for small perch, chub and other small fish. The most popular range from 5 to 20 g is designed for shallows and pits with a depth of 10-15 meters. On most rivers of Russia, these are the maximum depths. Jig heads weighing more than 20 g are used on large rivers, where the depths are greater and casting is needed further.

In the technique of spinning fishing, the method of wiring, when the fish is attracted with a bait nozzle, is an element that determines the result of fishing. The wiring can be vertical (plumb) when the fishing line is close to the vertical position, or horizontal when it is led horizontally. Vertical wiring is used in reservoirs without a current or with a slow current; with liquid silty soil, in which a hook with a nozzle sinks; among aquatic vegetation; in autumn - under a layer of fallen leaves on the surface of the water, from a boat, in winter from ice. The bite is affected not only by the color, size and shape of the bait. The fish reacts to the realistic movement of the lure. Fishing will be successful when the most suitable movement of the bait in specific conditions is selected. The movement of the bait depends on the design of the fishing tackle.

Known jig head (patent FR 2739752 1997-04-18, IPC A01K 85/10) equipped with a plate attached between the sinker and the hook.

A jig head is known (patent US2014182190 (A1) - 2014-07-03, IPC A01K 85/00) equipped with a plate fastened with a wire frame between the sinker and the hook, so that the weight of the load does not directly affect the plate. The oscillation of the plate results in side to side movement at an angle around the sinker.

Known jig head (patent US 3729850 dated 05/01/1973, IPC A01K 85/00), equipped with a flexible plate attached directly to the sinker from the side of the hook. The plate, resisting the translational movement of the bait, creates an oscillatory movement around the longitudinal axis of the hook, contributing to the horizontal movement of the bait.

The jig heads presented above are difficult to manufacture and are designed for fishing in the summer for horizontal wiring.

A jig head is known (RF patent 2328853 publ. 07/20/2008, IPC A01K 85/00 (2006.01)) with a plate of transparent plastic material placed in the sinker slot horizontally on the opposite side of the hook. The plate limits the deviation from the vertical.

A jig head is known (https://zen.yandex.ru/media/id/5fd58a21b5fdda1783713a37b867085a4, accessed 11/26/2022. Catching bait - "Ice Jig", published December 21, 2020) for catching fish in ice holes or plumb from a boat. A disk made of plastic or silicone is horizontally attached to the jig head from above. In addition, to reduce the gathering of fish, a tee (triple hook) with a cambric is attached to the sinker. This arrangement of the disk is not suitable for horizontal wiring.

Known petal for artificial elastic bait (RF patent 2283589 publ.: 2006.09.20, A01K 85/14). The petal is made in the form of a blade with a connecting hole, which makes it possible to install it with an interference fit on the body of the bait with an orientation relative to the tail and provides a good game of the bait to achieve maximum catchability. Complex design, designed for summer fishing.

Known plate for a fishing hook and a fishing hook (RF patent 2383134 A01K 83/00 (2006.01), publ.: 2010.03.10). The plate contains a blade of arbitrary shape with a front and back side and a means for attachment, a device for fixing. Complex design, designed for summer fishing.

All of the above devices increase the effectiveness of spinning fishing, but are difficult to manufacture, while each of them is designed for any one of the following conditions: horizontal wiring of the bait from the shore or boat, or vertical wiring of the bait in a plumb line from a boat, in winter from ice. Thus, for successful fishing, a complete set of such fishing tackle is required.

The objective of the invention is to expand the arsenal of means for spinning fishing.

The proposed invention is easy to manufacture and use, is universal and allows you to get by with a minimum amount of gear under any conditions for catching predatory fish species (pike, pike perch, perch, etc.), whether it is spinning fishing from the shore and boat, when horizontal wiring is carried out, or when fishing in a plumb line from a boat, in winter from ice (vertical wiring), and also increases the catchability of gear, is a universal predator.

The technical result is achieved in that the jig head includes a sinker with an eye for attaching a fishing line, a hook, a triple hook attached to the sinker with a fastener built into the sinker. The sinker has the shape of a ball. To give more vibration, the bait is equipped with a replaceable removable disk-shaped plastic plate (for example, made of polyethylene terephthalate - PET or any other material with similar properties). At the same time, depending on the conditions of fishing and the degree of activity of the fish: for horizontal wiring, a disk-shaped plate is put on the hook close to the sinker, and then any silicone bait (vibrotail, twister, etc.) is put on; for vertical wiring, a disc-shaped plate is put on the ear of the jig head. Disc-shaped plates are put on in an interference fit, are replaceable and are made with a diameter larger than the diameter of the sinker; plates can be of different colors. For successful fishing, it is enough to have a set of 3-5 plates with a diameter exceeding the diameter of the sinker by 1.5-2.5 times. The jig head is additionally equipped with a triple hook with a cambric of different colors (usually in combination - red, yellow, green). The triple hook is attached to the sinker using a fastener mounted in the sinker on the opposite side of the eye.

In jig fishing, a jig head 1 with a sinker 2 in the form of a ball is most often used (Fig. 1). A hook 3 and a wire eye 4 for attaching a fishing line (not shown) are soldered into the sinker 2. Disc-shaped plates 5 (Fig. 3), which are put on as needed or on hook 3 or eye 4, can be used with any shape of jig heads, but the best results are obtained by using a jig head in the form of a ball.

Disc-shaped plate 5 is made of PET or any other similar material, 0.5-2 mm thick, with a hole in the center of the plate, for putting on hook 3 or eye 4. The optimal hole is 2 × 3 mm, suitable for the main dimensions hooks. This size of the hole allows you to put on the plate 5 in tension and thereby securely fix it. PET is a material rigid enough not to bend under water flows, but at the same time flexible and resilient, allowing you to put on and remove the plate on the hook of the jig head repeatedly. It is easy to make such a plate yourself, for example, cut it out of a plastic bottle. PET is available in different colors, which allows the use of disc-shaped plates of different colors to attract and activate fish for a bite. For example, using a red plate, we cause irritation and aggression of a predator, and using a transparent plastic plate, we visually reduce the volume of the bait, which, with low activity of the predator, will provoke him to bite. Colored plates are relevant in muddy water, at great depths, in low light.

The water flows acting on the plate 5 cause the jig head 1 with the silicone bait 6 (Fig. 2) to oscillate from side to side (vibrate), which helps to attract predatory fish and encourage them to grab the bait. The side-to-side arcing movement is a realistic swimming action.

Plate 5 contributes to a smoother movement of the bait 6, which lingers for a long time in the field of view of the predator, which increases the chances of a bite, because. even a lazy predator is easier to "get excited" and catch up with her.

Plates 5 are interchangeable and are made of different diameters, exceeding the diameter of the sinker by 1.5-2.5 times. With a smaller diameter of the plate, a satisfactory play of the bait is not observed. If it is greater, the resulting hydraulic resistance can lead to the emergence of a lifting force during the movement of the bait, which will drastically reduce the efficiency of fishing.

The diameter of the disc-shaped plate 5 affects its use for different postings and fishing conditions. The larger the diameter of the plate 5, the greater the vibration of the bait 6. The most sweeping game, more powerful vibrations, is obtained when using a plate with a diameter 2.5 times the diameter of the sinker. To change the game of the bait, plates 5 of a smaller diameter are used, so it is possible to reduce the amplitude of oscillations and the width of the horizontal displacement, which is often the determining factor with a weak bite. By changing the bait, you can choose the optimal one in diameter and color, to which the predator will react at a given time. Replacing the plate takes a minimum of time.

Additionally, the jig head 1 is equipped with a triple hook (tee) 7 with a cambric of 8 different colors (usually in combination - red, yellow, green), which additionally attracts fish and provokes them to bite, as well as reduces the number of idle bites and fish exits when playing (fatigue of the fish to pull the fish out of the water). The triple hook is attached using fastener 9, built into the body of the jig head on the opposite side of the eye. Clasp 9 allows you to quickly replace the triple hook with another (blunted, changing the color of the cambric or the size of the triple hook, etc.).

Example 1. Horizontal wiring.

Plate 5 with a diameter of 20 mm is put on a hook 3 of a jig head 1 with a sinker 2 of a spherical shape with a diameter of 10 mm. Then they put on silicone bait 6, for example, vibrotail, twister. Such a diameter of the plate will create frequent oscillations, which will be optimal when fishing in the current. This diameter of the plate will work effectively with high activity of the fish.

If you put a plate 5 with a diameter of 25 mm on the same jig head with a sinker diameter of 10 mm, then the vibrations of the bait will be less frequent, which will allow you to successfully fish in water without a current. By changing the diameters of the plates in this way, you can choose a more catchy one that will tempt the predator to bite.

Example 2. When using the same jig head 1 with a diameter of 10 mm when fishing in a plumb line from a boat or when fishing from ice, when vertical wiring is used, plate 5 is put on eye 4. When throwing the bait (pulling the rod up), the jig head 1 deviates to the side due to the plate 5, as it is affected by water resistance. Also, plate 4 creates additional vibration, which is transmitted to the bait. This deflection and vibration attracts predatory fish and provokes them to bite. When using a plate with a diameter of 20 mm, the jig head will deviate from the vertical about 1 meter and thereby attract fish from large distances, and when using a plate one and a half times the body of jig head 1 (diameter 15 mm), it will deflect about 50 cm from the vertical, which has a positive effect on the grip of the fish when it is passive and not in the mood to eat. With a vertical free fall thanks to the plate, the jig head 1 glides slowly, lingering for a long time in the field of view of a passive predator, which increases the chances of a bite.

Thus, for successful fishing, it is enough to have several plates of different colors and different diameters in addition to a set of sinkers of different weights.
