Улов смуђа на јестивој гуми: врсте, техника риболова, предности и мане

Predatory fish are not at all difficult to catch with artificial bait. This type of fishing has been practiced for many decades. With the advent of silicone baits, the process of catching a predator has become the most effective. Following ordinary rubber, edible rubber came into play, which radically changed all the views and concepts of fishing for artificial lures. Fishing has become quite reckless and popular, especially since baits made from edible rubber are not much more expensive than baits made from ordinary silicone.

Live bait, as a rule, must first be caught, and then only you can use it. Very often it has to be stored, creating conditions for this. As for the rubber fish, it is enough to purchase it in the fishing department of the store. Moreover, the variety of lures is such that they are suitable for literally any method of fishing. Silicone baits do not cost a lot of money and they do not need special storage conditions, compared to live fish (live bait). The catchability of such baits is quite high and is ahead of the natural live bait. This is due to the fact that silicone baits have a different color, sometimes very bright, which attracts a predator.

Description of Edible Fishing Rubber

If artificial flavoring is introduced into ordinary silicone, you get edible silicone, which is also called edible rubber. Once in the water, the aromatic substance begins to dissolve in the water, after which the fish begins to react to this aroma. The advantage of the bait is that it does not lose its properties over a long period of time.

Silicone bait is soft and flexible, which allows it to behave in the water column in much the same way as a live fish. In this regard, baits with edible rubber have super catchiness. As a rule, the manufacturer produces similar baits, which differ both in color, in size, and in the degree of aromatization. Plus, the flavors can be different, but always those that may be of interest to predatory fish.

Especially popular are baits that have the aroma of squid or fish (especially fried). Sometimes a little salt is added to the bait, and the taste of a salty fish is obtained, which also attracts a predator, including a striped one.

Types of edible rubber

In retail outlets where they sell everything you need for fishing, you can see a huge variety of silicone lures. As a rule, novice anglers who have not yet had to catch predatory fish with such baits are lost at the sight of this diversity. According to experienced fishermen, special attention should be paid to:

• I’m twisting. This is a bait that has a body of a certain length, at the end of which there may be one or two tails. These tails can differ in bizarre shapes, which makes it possible for her to make oscillatory movements when moving, which are interesting for fish. The sizes of twisters range from 30 to 150 mm, although there are also larger lures for catching larger predatory fish. Twister is a versatile lure and can be used in a variety of rigs designed for different fishing conditions.
• Vibrochvostam. In appearance, this bait is similar to a small fish. The design of the tail is such that when moving, vibrations are created similar to vibrations that are created during the movement of an ordinary live fish. Vibrotails are produced in sizes from 3 to 15 centimeters, which is quite enough to catch both small specimens and trophy ones.
• Silicone worms. Such baits imitate the movements of various worms in the water. On sale you can find silicone worms that differ in size, color and shape. These can be worms with a smooth body, complex structure and a large number of small antennae covering the body of the bait.
• ја стављам. This is a bait of a passive nature, and in order to attract fish, it must be skillfully controlled. In order to have the skills to use this bait, you should experiment regularly, constantly adding some new movements or wiring methods.
• silicone crayfish. Recently, crayfish made of edible rubber have been in great demand among anglers. This lure is much more effective when fishing for perch, pike or catfish, compared to silicones such as twister or vibrotail. And this is not surprising, since, moving along the bottom, it imitates the movements of a living crab, and the aroma emitted by this bait is fully consistent with a living creature.
• silicone frogs. This bait, when moving in water or its surface, completely resembles the movement of a live frog. Especially, it is effective when catching large catfish that feed on these amphibians. In addition, the bait has another plus: it has a hook located on top. This makes it possible to catch hard-to-reach places and thickets of aquatic vegetation. In other words, this is a non-hooking bait, although it has a different design. Despite this, the probability of hooks with this lure is much less than with other lures.
• Silicone pipes. Such baits are characterized by an elongated body. This bait has no analogues in wildlife, but, despite this, both predatory and peaceful fish are successfully caught on it. Most likely, the interesting plumage, made in the form of tentacles, attracts the fish.

Features of silicone lures

The peculiarity of the lures is that for successful fishing, they must be loaded, since they are quite light in themselves. In exceptional cases, the load is not used and the bait is hooked directly to the hook of the tackle. The advantages of silicone baits are also that you can hide the sting of the hook in the body and minimize hooks, but then idle bites or fish gatherings are possible. When fishing in clear water, silver-colored lures can be the most attractive, which perfectly reflect the sun’s rays. When fishing in troubled waters, bright, saturated colors of various, sometimes unexpected shades work perfectly.

How to use rubber lures

Depending on the size of the bait, as well as the size of the fish that is planned to be caught, equipment is selected, as well as its elements. Twisters, as well as other types of baits, made of edible rubber can be used with or without a weight, with single hooks, and with double or triple hooks.

According to the method of application, vibrotails practically do not differ from twisters. This bait works great with any postings, including uniform ones.

Silicone worms are mainly used on rigs with a retractable leader. They are hooked on hooks without any load. But this does not mean at all that these baits cannot be used with jig heads. Many spinners use worms in the classic jig technique for catching predatory fish.

Slugs are equipped with offset hooks, which requires certain skills in wiring. In this case, the angler will always be provided with a catch.

Silicone crustaceans are used mainly for catching predators in the bottom layers. Wiring is carried out in jerks with the organization of long pauses, which imitates the movements of crustaceans. On smaller baits, a single hook is used; on larger silicone crayfish, a tee is used.

Edible silicone frogs have excellent catchability. They are especially effective when catching grass pike, which prefers to feed on small frogs. Therefore, silicone frogs are most in demand for catching this toothy predator.

Silicone pipes, with a small forged hook, can be of interest not only to a predator, but also to a peaceful fish, if you master the technique of catching this type of bait. Since they do not have their own game, they will have to try to get the fish interested in this bait.

Catching perch with edible rubber lures

Perch is a predatory fish species that prefers to hunt its prey in whole flocks. He is not in ambush for a long time, like a pike, for example, and is ready to pursue his prey if it is close to him. Therefore, if the bait is held near the perch, then most likely he will grab it if he is interested in it.

When the crayfish begins to change its shell, the perch activates its hunt for them. If during this period, silicone crayfish are used as an artificial bait, then the catch is guaranteed: a striped predator will tirelessly grab such a bait.

In addition to crustaceans, there are other representatives of the underwater world in the perch menu. He perfectly hunts small fish, including his relatives. Many anglers claim that the most popular is the bait with a unique game that does not leave any predatory fish indifferent to itself.

The best edible rubber for perch fishing

Every angler dreams of catching big fish, whether it’s perch or pike. But the bites of a trophy specimen have to wait a long time and not every angler is ready for such a scenario. Many of them enjoy the frequent bites of small perch. But among them there are units that patiently, with each cast, expect a powerful bite. For catching large perch, “Daiwa Tournament D’ Fin 3” Chart is suitable. The length of this bait is 105 mm and it is not available for small perch.

Therefore, the number of bites can be minimal, but the caught trophy can bring a lot of positive emotions.

For catching smaller perch, the Daiwa Tournament B-Leech Watermelon lure, 56 mm long, is suitable. It handles small to medium sized perch successfully, which will appeal to most spinners who enjoy frequent bites.

Pros and cons of edible baits

The main advantages of such baits include low cost, which makes them affordable for a wide range of anglers. In addition, baits made of edible silicone have a high catchability compared to other types of baits, which can be attributed to another plus. In addition, silicone baits are not difficult to make yourself, at home.

The disadvantage of these baits is that they are short-lived (relatively). If hunting is also carried out for pike, then very often such a bait remains without a tail. A similar drawback haunts almost all baits, regardless of the material of manufacture, but losing a cheap bait is not so pitiful. With the advent of edible rubber lures, fishing has become more catchy, and therefore more exciting and reckless. When using them, it should be remembered that they can be most effective in cold water, that is, in spring, autumn and winter.
