How to knit fishing leads. How to knit leashes to the main line on spinning, bottom, and float gear

An additional side leash is used to attach an additional hook or additional mormyshka to the main line. Accordingly, there can be several hooks and mormyshkas, and then in many regions such tackle with hooks is called a “garland”, and tackle with several mormyshkas is called a “locomotive”.

This article discusses the question of how to tie a leash (branch) to the main fishing line so that it does not hang, but has a certain elasticity and an additional hook with a nozzle or an additional mormyshka, it can be either reelless or not, do not hang parallel and too close to the main line and thus did not get confused with it when posting and catching fish.

We will consider the knot for tying this leash, for clarity, using the example of ropes of two colors. Green is the main line. Red - an additional leash.

On the main line we make one turn of the loop

We insert the end of the leash into the loop, which we will tie to the main fishing line

Next, with the free end we make several turns around the half-loop and the main fishing line. The number of turns you need to make depends on the diameter of the line you are using. Usually I have the following ratio: the diameter of the fishing line is 0.08 mm - 8 turns, 0.1 mm - 7 turns, 0.12 - 6 turns, then with an increase in diameter of less than 5 turns, I do not do it.

And we tighten

As you can see, in the knot, the fishing line to which the hook or mormyshka will be tied comes out of the knot almost parallel to the main one and is directed almost upwards to the fishing rod.

This position of the fishing line in the knot gives the tied leash additional elasticity and, depending on the diameter of the fishing line, with diameters from 0.12-0.14 mm, the leash with the hook is located almost perpendicular to the main one.

Of course, we are talking about reasonable lengths here. Yes, and long leashes will only worsen the game of tackle and will be confused, since the weight of the nozzle or bait can be added to the weight of the hook or mormyshka.

It remains only to tie a hook of the size you need or a mormyshka to the end of the leash. True, I always do the opposite, first I prepare several leashes with attached hooks or mormyshkas, and then weave them into the main fishing line. It's just easier to control the length of the resulting leash.

Photo with additional hooks on side leashes.

The minimum size used here is 0.08 mm line and hook number 16. As you can see, the leash with the hook is almost perpendicular to the main line. When setting the bait (raspberry or mormysh), its downward bend will be insignificant, and the hook with the bait will not come into contact and get confused with the main line, and in the case of wiring all the gear in height, the game of the bait will be much more interesting and richer, which will inevitably affect the increase the number of bites.

Photo of the side leash on the "garland" in the hole - as you can see, the leash is almost perpendicular to the main line

Photo with attached additional mormyshka.

Here you can see that under the weight of the mormyshka, the leash line sagged, but still neither the mormyshka nor the leash touches the main line, and a simple hook with a nozzle will always be out of the way.

This is also very useful if you equip your winter rods with additional leads and jigs.

At the end of the article I will share equipment for catching winter bream. And in the summer, from a boat, a large bream (from 3 kg and above) confidently takes such equipment, and I often use it.

Photo of equipment for catching bream using a tied leash on the main line

It is based on an additional leash and a simple sinker. The sinker is tied to the end of the main line. At a distance of 3 cm from the sinker, a leash with a hook is tied, also 3 cm long. Thus, with a bunch of raspberries planted, the sinker and the hook form, figuratively speaking, an isosceles triangle.

Fishing is carried out from a boat with a winter fishing rod. The nod is used as for fishing with the devil. Postings are carried out in a variety of ways, almost "devilish", only mainly with a maximum amplitude. There are frequent bites of bream and with a slow lowering of gear.

The parameters of my equipment for catching bream in the summer from a boat - for a depth of 8-10 m: fishing line-0.12 hook No. 14, sinker weight-1.25 g. In winter, I use more delicate tackle: for bream-line 0.1 mm , hook No. 14.16 for roach - it also does not pass by this equipment, fishing line 0.08 mm, hook No. 16.18.

The main options for tying a leash to a fishing line

So, it is necessary to start with the fact that each the fishing knot is necessarily characterized by tensile strength. For example, you can take monofilament, which provides strength of 5 kg, but in water it can hold the resistance of fish no more than 2.5 kg.

There are several basic methods of attaching the leader to the main line that are the most reliable. There are relatively simple ones, others are more difficult to master, but with a little practice, they can all be learned.

Loop to loop

The most common and simplest method is "loop to loop". Although this fishing knot is very easy to learn, it cannot be said that it has high level reliability.

1. At the ends of the main fishing line and the desired leash, 2 elongated loops are knitted.
2. The end of the fishing line with the loop must be folded in half and wrapped twice around its axis.
3. The loop of the fishing line that was originally tied is threaded through the ring, which is obtained at the end of the entire structure, and then tightened.
4. To complete the fastening, it is necessary to fasten the loops of the leash and fishing line together.

The next type of knot is also quite simple, and most importantly, it can be done right on the spot, without additional devices.

The bandage is carried out as follows:

1. The leash and the main line are attached to each other.
2. Now you need to wrap a part of the fishing line with a leash and then stretch its end to the top.
3. This end of the fishing line must be stretched into the resulting loop, but do not tighten it.
4. The end of the leash must be wrapped once around the loop.
5. The knot is tightening.
6. Now you need to do the same with the end of the main fishing line and tie it to the leash.

"Nail"

The node named as "Nail", has a high level of strength, but also great complexity during its development.

You can tie it up like this:

1. On the main fishing line, you need to tie a stop knot.
2. Leash and cord are parallel to each other.
3. The line of the leash should be threaded under the main one.
4. A turn is made around the main line.
5. Pass a through object, such as a fountain pen, into the loop formed.
6. Now make a few skeins around the main fishing line and fountain pen.
7. Now it is necessary to pass the end of the leash through the handle and carefully tighten the knot, while making sure that the turns do not tangle or overlap each other.
8. The rest of the leash must be removed.

"Eight"

Another fairly common knot is called "Eight". At its core, it is quite simple, but at the same time, it confidently fastens the leash and the main fishing line.

The bandage is carried out as follows:

1. The leash and cord are laid parallel to each other.
2. Now you need to knit a loop that will look like a figure eight like a Flemish loop.
3. Now it's time to tighten the knot.

Fastening without knots

Knotless type of fastening, as the name implies does not imply as a connection between the leash and the main line using knots. Such a connection requires less time for binding and does not imply any difficulties. It is immediately worth noting that large tackle is best fastened with knots, and for small baits, this type is most optimal.

A knotless fastener has its undeniable advantages, including saving time and a high level of strength, but there are also disadvantages: excessive weighting of the tackle is often used only for braided.

To fix such a fastener, first of all, it must be correctly selected based on the thickness of the fishing line and the dimensions of the bait. The clasp should be a little thinner than the fishing line. To fix it, you need to take a few simple steps:

1. Insert the eye of the tackle into the eye of the fastener.
2. Now the line must be thrown over the hook of the connector, which protrudes to make a double line.
3. It is required to wind the fishing line on the connector in several turns 3-5 times.
4. Now the fishing line must be inserted into the second eyelet and tightened.
5. Excess line must be removed.

Binding by type of leash

In addition to the basic ways to tie a leash to a braid or main line, there are several more depending on the type of leash, so you can secure everything as securely as possible.

Side type leash

There are such fishing gear, which imply a side leash. They can be used in garlands and other winter snaps. The main problem is that they get tangled behind the main line. Therefore, to avoid such a problem, it is very important to bind it correctly.

The simplest and most popular way out of the situation - cambric. In this case, the node type has no special role. It is very important to simply pass the leash through a bright or vice versa transparent cambric, but always thin, which will be put on the main fishing line above the knot. In combination with a medium line or a short leader, this method will allow you to enjoy fishing, and not be nervous about trifles.

Retractable leash type

Especially beginners who use this type of leash have a lot of problems in order to properly tie such a knot that will not unravel.

When mounting this type of leash, it is necessary to fix the sinker at the end of the main fishing line, and in the meantime, the leash itself must be fixed a little higher, at a distance of about 15-30 cm.

The simplest and most optimal installation option is "Deaf with a swivel" To do this, do the following:

1. Attach a sinker to the end of the main line.
2. Further, a special swivel is attached a little higher.
3. A retractable leash is already attached to the swivel, for which an ordinary fluorocarbon or monofilament fishing line is required.

Sliding leash type

Thanks to this equipment, the float is able to easily move along the fishing line to the place where the stoppers will be installed. The leash and sinker are easily immersed during the cast.

Thus, with the help of a stopper, it is possible to determine the required level of penetration of the bait. The main requirements in this case are:

• reliability of fixation at the required point;
• there should be no deadlock to be able to change the depth level;
• the stopper should not slip into the eye, at the point where the float is attached to the fishing line;
• when casting, it should easily pass through the rod rings when casting.

To do this, it is very important to tie the stop knot correctly:

1. It is necessary to take a segment of about 20 cm in length.
2. Fold in 2 times on the main part, while letting out one edge by 5 cm more.
3. The long part needs to be made several turns, about 5 times around the main fishing line.
4. The running end is wound into the initial loop.
5. Such a knot needs to be moistened and carefully tightened, creating a knot.
6. The edges are trimmed, leaving 1-2 centimeters on each side.

With the use of swivels, carabiners and clasps

When using swivels, carabiners and clasps, it is best to use a knot called "Improved Clinch". The strength of this node reaches 95%. The process of knitting it does not cause difficulties:

1. The free end of the fishing line must be passed through the swivel of the leash.
2. Now we wind the fishing line around its axis 5-6 times, but it is still too early to tighten the knot.
3. Now it needs to be passed through the hole that has formed near the swivel ring.
4. Now you can moisten it and tighten it with the classic method.

It is very important to correctly tie the swivel itself to the fishing line:

1. We put on a swivel.
2. Part of the leash is folded in half.
3. The folded part is folded in half again.
4. Before reaching a bend of 2 cm, you need to fix the fishing line with your hand.
5. Now 3 turns are made around the fishing line.
6. A double fishing line is threaded into the resulting loop at the end of the leash.
7. The knot can be wetted and tightened.
8. Cut off the remaining string.

This is a fixed view of the node.

To tie a carabiner, you must perform the following steps:

1. Hang a weight on the end of the main line.
2. The leash should be tied about 20-30 cm above the load.
3. Now you can tie a swivel with a carabiner to the main line and attach a leash to it.

To fix the fastener, the following method is used:

1. The cord is folded 2 times.
2. A loop is formed that passes through the clasp.
3. Then you can knit the fishing line with an ordinary knot.
4. It is very important that the hook is located inside the loop.
5. Now it is passed through the top of the loop and tightened.

This latch fastening is very reliable.

Features of attaching several leashes: feeder, donk, winter fishing on a garland

Among other things, you can easily attach several leads to the main line, but it is very important to do this correctly. What node can do this? The best option for this would be "snake knot":

1. The main line should be parallel to the leader line.
2. We wrap the end of the leash in a couple of turns around the main one.
3. Then do the same with the end of the main line.
4. Further, we pass the ends of both lines through the loop, which turned out in the center of the structure.
5. Tighten carefully.

Thus, one leash is already tied and there are 2 more loose ends where you can tie a few more.

Feeder

Spinning feeder fishing has been very popular lately because of its effectiveness. However, at first glance, her loops are very complex, which is why many do not undertake to knit them on their own, but this is not so.

The best option in this case is "symmetrical loop". It implies a double fishing line with a loop, on one of which the leash slides. To knit such a loop, you need:

1. Take 1-5 meters of monofilament, which folds 2 times.
2. With a “surgical loop” at a small distance from the bend of the fishing line (approximately at a distance of 7 cm), make a small loop.
3. There are 2 free ends of the fishing line. After the loop of them, it is necessary to make a twist for the rigidity of the snap.
4. The end of the twist must be fixed with a “surgical” knot.
5. Another 39 cm is measured from this knot and a knot is knitted.
6. After it, 2 ends of the fishing line remain, one of which is cut off, and a swivel with a carbine is knitted to the other.
7. The second loop remains for the leash with, which can be knitted with the usual “loop in loop”.

Winter fishing with a garland

The garland is knitted as simply as possible. The simplest method is as follows:

1. It is best to start with the upper mormyshka, tying it in the usual way, passing the fishing line through the eyelet or hole, making a loop parallel to the forearm.
2. Several turns are made around the fishing line.
3. The free end falls into the same loop.
4. The knot is tightened.

Now you can make a loop for attaching to the main fishing line or tie a clasp, carabiner.

To get the maximum catch, it is important to consider a few tips:

1. The most popular method for tying the leash to the main line is the loop-in-loop method.
2. Swivels with carabiners are the best option to prevent tangling of the fishing line with the leash.
3. A swivel with a carabiner is best knitted with a “fixed” knot.
4. The main line can hold 3 leashes.
5. For three leashes, the “snake” knot is considered optimal.
6. The "snake" knot should leave the long ends of the lines and leashes for further attachment of additional leashes.
7. It is important to consider the strength of the knot.
8. Any knot can be tied independently. Practice is important.
9. The correct knot is very important during the catch.

Considering the strength of the knot and the whole equipment in general, you can easily fish out even the most big fish. Each knot is able to succumb even to an inexperienced angler. It is very important to be diligent and attentive, then patience will pay off in full.

How to make a loop on a fishing line

1. A simple loop knot.

In fishing, there are situations when it is necessary to tie one or more leashes to the main line, often when fishing:

• on a branch leash with spinning;
• bottom tackle;
• feeder.

How to make a loop on a fishing line

In many methods of attaching leashes and not only, the skill of creating a loop knot on a fishing line is required. Let's look at a couple of ways to organize a loop.

1. A simple loop knot.

A very simple and useful knot. We fold the fishing line in half and do it on this double fishing line a knot that is tightenable.

2. Knot "eight"

A more reliable loop, but it does not tighten or stretch. A whole article is devoted to the “eight” knot. We recommend to read.

Ways to tie a leash to your main line

Here are the patterns for tying leashes, and you decide which method you prefer and how you would be better off tying the leash to the fishing line.

1. We make a large loop and cut at the base from one end. It is best to knit a loop figure eight knot.

2. A more tricky method that requires the practice of tying a leash with a hook to the main line.

3. The most popular of the leash tying methods is the loop-in-loop method.

We unwind the fishing line of the required length on a leash and make a loop at its end

After threading the loop into the loop, both loops must be tightened.

How to increase the catch of fish?

For 7 years of active passion for fishing, I have found dozens of ways to improve the bite. Here are the most effective ones:

1. Biting activator. This pheromone additive lures fish the most in cold and warm water. Discussion of the bite activator "Dry Blooder".
2. Raise gear sensitivity. Read the appropriate manuals for the particular type of tackle.
3. Lures based pheromones.

Retractable leash for spinning

You see the scheme of mounting the outlet leash on the spinning rod. The design is very simple. The main fishing line, at the end of which a sinker is tied. Methods for tying hooks, sinkers, see here.

At a distance of 20 cm above the fishing line, we tie a branch leash

What should be the knot of the leash to the main line? You can choose any parsed above:

Leashes on the bottom gear

The bottom tackle is the same construction of the main fishing line, sinker or load feeder at the end and a side leash, and often several)

Tying two leashes to the main line is no more difficult than one. Best suited for this third mounting method discussed at the beginning of the article.

IN bottom gear such as a feeder, a certain plus is the number of hooks. Each additional leash will increase the chance of catching fish.

Well, we hope our guide was useful to you. Good luck fishing.

Dog owners with more than one dog face the challenge of walking their pets every day, making it difficult to keep them under control at the same time. And a lot of leashes are both expensive and inconvenient. An excellent way out is a double leash. And you can make it yourself pretty quickly.

Materials and tools:
1. Rope, which is a braided nylon rope about 50 meters long and a centimeter in diameter. If extra pieces remain in the process of work - it does not matter, they can always come in handy in everyday life. Cotton can be used as an alternative to nylon rope.
2. Rope locks in the amount of 5 pieces.
3. Carbine.
4. Swivel clamps in the amount of 2 pieces.
5. Nickel-plated parts of a regular leash.
6. Roulette.
7. Clamping device.
8. Sharp knife.
9. Hammer.
10. Lighter if nylon rope will be used.

Operating procedure:
It is extremely important that the handle of the leash does not rub the palm, otherwise the constant attempts to keep restless pets risk turning into calluses and weakening the grip. To avoid this, it is recommended to wrap the workpiece with artificial leather - vinyl. Vinyl will need a slightly larger size than the blank for the handle. But the shape is cut identical.

Two pieces of the desired length are cut from the rope. The length depends on several factors - the size of the dog, its character, as well as the distance at which the pet is used to keeping during the walk.

The ends of the cord may fluff. Especially if preference is given to nylon. To avoid this, they must be set on fire and melted with a lighter or a match. The main thing is that the fire should not be too strong. In the case of cotton, it is better to skip this point, since the cotton will only burn, but will not melt.

Next, tighten the cable. To do this, the end of the rope is threaded through the hole in the swivel clamp. You need to fold the rope in such a way that it can fit into the clamp. At the same time, care must be taken to ensure that an unnecessarily long end does not remain at the exit.

With the help of a clamping device, the rope is fixed on both sides. You can also use a flat hammer.

Similar procedures are carried out with the second part of the leash.
Now you can take on the final formation of the handle. It is very important that there is a sufficient cavity inside so that the leash can be passed through. To connect the rope and the handle, it is recommended to use a carabiner. The ropes should eventually run parallel to each other.

That's all - the double leash is ready! It is quite simple to make it, it does not require spending a lot of time and materials. The result will please any dog ​​breeder.

Two basic ways to tie a leash to your main line

There are two great ways to tie one leader to your main line.

• Improved fishing knot.
• The loop-to-loop method.

How to tie a leader to the main line with an advanced fishing knot

To tie a leash to a fishing line with an improved fishing knot, proceed as follows.

• Position the main line and leader parallel.
• Wrap the last loop around the snap and pull it up.
• Pass the end of the leash twice into the loop created in the first step.
• Pull the knot.

Tie the main line to the leash in the same way. Pull both knots.

See how to properly tie a leash to the main line using an improved fishing knot in the diagram and video.

How to tie a leash to the main line using the loop-to-loop method

This method is suitable for tying any (monofilament, metal, fluorocarbon, braided) leashes. Proceed according to the following scheme.

• Fold the line in half.
• Wrap the end of the line around the main body twice.
• Pass the end of the fishing line into the first turn.
• Tighten the knot.

Make the exact same loop on the leash. Now you need to connect the two loops to each other.

To properly tie the leash to the main line in this way.

• Insert the loop of the main line into the leader line.
• Insert the end of the leash into it.
• Tighten the fastener.

In order not to be mistaken, read the diagram and video.

We tie a branch side leash to the main fishing line

Now I will tell you how to tie a side leash to the main line. This rig option involves mounting a sinker at the end of the main line. The first retractable leash is tied at a distance of 150 to 300 mm.

Swivels are best suited for mounting. With their use, the likelihood of tangling the equipment is minimized, since the side leashes in this case are located strictly perpendicular to the main fishing line.

How to properly tie a leash to the main line with a swivel

To tie a leash with a “deaf” method, you will need a triple swivel. The connection looks like this.

• The top end of the swivel is tied to the main line.
• At the bottom, a piece of thread with a sinker is fixed.
• A leash with a hook is attached to the side end.

Two double swivel swivels are required to tie the slip leash. Act like this.

• Insert the main part of the fishing line into the first swivel.
• Tie the rig to the second fixture.
• Attach a fishing line with a sinker to it.
• Tie a leash with a hook to the first freely moving swivel.

See the diagrams and videos for more information on fixing diverter leashes with swivels.

How to tie a side leash to the main line using other methods

If there are no swivels in your arsenal, use the methods listed below, but remember that they are less reliable.

• Loop to loop. The method of fixing the bypass leash is slightly different from the installation of conventional equipment. Tie the loops to the main line with double or triple knots. Make loops on the leashes. Fix them according to the technology described above. Using this method, you can easily assemble the equipment directly on the pond. There is also a disadvantage. Retractable leashes are often twisted and quickly fail.
• Buttons. On the main fishing line, pre-put on the desired number of buttons. Use stop knots to delimit space for leashes. So you get a kind of movable mounts.
• Sliced ​​loops. Tie the required number of large loops to the main line with double or triple knots. Cut them on one side at a distance of 4–5 mm from the knots. Tie hooks to the free ends. Note! The strength of the tooling when using this method is greatly reduced.

Buttons work like swivels. Lead-off leashes will not twist.

What is the best way to tie several leashes to the main line at the same time

If you need to tie two / three leashes to the main fishing line, use the “snake” knot. Fixing technique looks like this.

• Place the main part of the equipment and the leash line in parallel.
• Wrap the end of the main line around the leash three times.
• With the end of the lead line, make three turns around the main line.
• Draw the ends of the lines to the required distances through the middle of the twist.
• Tighten the knot.

So you get a reliable connection with three free ends, designed for 2 leashes + sinker. If you need to add a third, use the improved fishing knot or the loop-to-loop method.

In order not to be mistaken, carefully study the instructions on the diagram and video.

How to tie a leash to the main part of a spinning line

Tie leashes to carabiners with Grinner, Palomar and Clinch knots. They are the best for this.

These knots are described in detail in the article "How to tie a hook to a fishing line: knots and fixing methods." There you will find detailed instructions, illustrations, and videos showing how to knit line correctly using various techniques.

• Before fixing, be sure to wet the snap. The knot will become as reliable as possible, and the fishing line will not be damaged.
• Do you want to further increase the strength of the connection? Apply a few drops of moisture-resistant adhesive to the attachment point.

IMPORTANT: what you need to know before knitting knots

Before proceeding to the actual consideration of methods for attaching a leash, it would be useful to mention two very useful tricks used during knitting knots.

The first of these is wetting the knot before tightening it. Thanks to this, not only lubricant all rubbing surfaces of the lines, but also their thermal deformation is excluded, which necessarily takes place if the knot is tightened “dry”. I will even say this - from our usual height we do not see at all what is happening at the level of the microworld. And there the loads are such that due to the friction force during tightening, the surface layers of the fishing line are heated to monstrous (at least a thousand degrees) temperatures. And although the scale of this phenomenon is extremely small, and it lasts for hundredths of a second, it is enough to slightly, but change the molecular structure of the bonded material. And therefore - to worsen its discontinuous characteristics.

What is the best way to moisturize a knot? For lack of other things, the people usually use their own saliva. A more aesthetic (and chemically neutral) option - some water, evaporating during friction, it will also cool the heated surfaces of the lines. You can also use (please treat with understanding!) ethanol- here we will hit two birds with one stone: the lubricant not only dries quickly, but also degreases the surface of the assembly (why this turns out to be useful - you will understand a little lower). Ethanol for nylon is like pellets for an elephant, because alcohol is one of the initial components for the production of this fiber.

Next trick: after tightening and drying the knot, a small drop of superglue is applied to it. Thanks to her, the knot turns into a monolithic lump, its strength characteristics increase significantly, and after that it is no longer threatened by accidental untying.

By applying the two tricks described above, you can significantly improve the strength of the tied knot.

Side leash

Usually the second lure (as well as the third, fourth, etc.) are attached to the rig not anyhow, but with the help of a side leash sticking out to the side - so that the latter with the main line does not overlap and does not get confused when casting. This technique has proven itself well in the following gear:

1. « Petty tyrant» — sea ​​tackle, where the number of baits can reach five or more.
2. Donka, float rod And winter fishing rod with two or even three hooks.
3. « Self shaker". Tackle for winter shine. In some cases, a “trick” is tied above the spinner - a mormyshka or a hook with a cambric.
4. A slightly non-standard version of fly fishing - the so-called " Czech style» where two flies are used instead of one. It's funny, but some especially advanced fly anglers consider this method bad manners, and jokingly call it "poaching".
5. Bombard, she is bulldozer. Tackle designed for catching grayling with artificial flies, the number of which can vary from one to three.
6. Spinning equipment « tandem". This is when two baits are used (for example, spinners) that imitate the pursuit of a predator by a prey.

For tying a side leash, there are a lot of fishing knots that differ both in ease of knitting and in their strength.

Permanent leashes

If you need to tie the leash “permanently”, that is, it is not expected to be replaced in the future, it makes sense to use the following three knots.

Leash loop

The very first (and probably the most well-worn) version of the knot that I want to consider does not involve using an additional piece of fishing line for the leash. Everything is knitted on one main fishing line, and part of it becomes the same leash.

Once the knot is tied, the fisherman has three paths. The first is to use the loop itself as a leash (suitable for spinning rigs with a more or less large eye).

The second is to attach a normal leash to it (suitable for a donkey).

In both cases, the fastening is done using the “loop-to-loop” method (by the way, this method is also useful for fastening two lines, we will consider it below). The main advantage here is the ability to quickly change the bait or leash.

The third way is to cut the loop as close to the line as possible and use the loose end as a leash. Just remember to melt the small protruding tip with a lighter.

This option has one drawback - in the event of a break in the knot, we will lose not only the leash, but everything that comes after it.

Knot "Nail"

A very compact knot that allows you to secure a leash. Due to the fact that it is sliding, you will have to make some simple locking knot on the main line, for example, the “eight”. Among other things, for the convenience of knitting it, we need an auxiliary item - a tube (on fishing, a piece of an empty rod from a ballpoint pen is suitable for this).

figure eight knot

I have been using this knot for many years to attach the leader to the main line in fly bombard fishing. This knot completely suits me, and has never (pah-pah-pah, knock-knock-knock) let me down.

It's funny, but if you apply a load to the leash at the tensile strength of the fishing line, the knot is slightly deformed, but at the same time there will not even be a hint that it is going to untie.

Temporary way to tie a leash to the main line

Sometimes it happens that there is a need to regularly change the leash. For example - when autumn fishing burbot on the donka. Of course, the easiest way here is to use fasteners, but you can do without them - with a very simple nodal connection.

A natural question arises: how to change the leash? Everything is very simple. We take the lower end of the main fishing line and simply pull the leash. The loop at the same time is slightly weakened and he flies out of it without the slightest resistance 1. The loop itself remains intact, but if you want to untie it too, pull on both ends of the main fishing line.

Leash at the end of the fishing line (how to tie two fishing lines)

I say right away - I have never used "safety" leashes. If I fish, then all the equipment I have is tied on the main fishing line. And if suddenly the task arose to fasten two fishing lines into one, then only after a break and successful extraction of the equipment from the reservoir.

However, using a thinner leader will allow you to safely “shoot off” the hook that has settled in the snag and save some of the equipment, for example, the float and sinkers. Many fishermen use this technique, and note the very high usefulness of the "safety" leash. However, with all that, one should not forget that the chance of breaking the leash increases while playing a large trophy. So to use it or not to use it? This is a personal matter for every fisherman.

In addition to the “safety leash”, sometimes the task arises of tying a transparent monofilament leash to the braid, or fastening two braided lines. The nodes that are used in this, I will also consider.

Knots for monofilament

Any monofilament, be it nylon or fluorocarbon, has one funny characteristic - the smoothness of the outer shell, and therefore - slipperiness. In truth, there is nothing funny here, because some knots from this very slipperiness can simply untie under load. And this during the fight of a large trophy can lead to the loss of part of the equipment. Next, I will list exactly those knots that do not have this feature that is unpleasant for the angler and can be tied with a calm soul on monofilaments.

snake knot

The very first knot that comes to mind is the snake knot. They probably called it that for some intricacy - tying this knot is very difficult. Abroad, it is also called "bloody" ("Blood Knot"). However, its durability and reliability do not cause any doubts. Designed for lines of the same diameter, or those in which there is a very small difference in thickness.

The approximate efficiency of a snake knot with five turns is 75%, which is very good. By increasing the number of turns (up to 7-8, more probably does not make sense) - you can increase this figure to about 85%.

Among other advantages of the snake knot is its compactness in a tightened form. The disadvantages include the fact that it will not work to quickly change leashes with him.

"Double Grinner"

"Grinner" is generally a universal knot: with its help, fly hooks are tied, and stoppers are "hung" on a fishing line. As it turned out, it is also very good as a binder of two lines, but for this it will have to be used in a double version.

In its structure, the "Grinner" is very reminiscent of a snake knot, and therefore, in terms of strength, it almost completely corresponds to it. But the "Grinner" is knitted somewhat easier than the snake (albeit longer), this is especially noticeable in the field. Nevertheless, he most likely will not be able to force the snake knot out of use in the near future, because, unlike the first, it is sliding. That is, both halves of it can be moved apart at any time, but this is of no use to the fisherman. And, it is quite possible that in some situations (for example, when the knot will often “fly” through the rod rings, or experience any force effects on itself), this circumstance may turn out to be completely undesirable.

Holy Simplicity: Triple Fisherman's Knot

Ugly, non-compact, still awkwardly sticking out on the fishing line on the side. But it knits up in seconds. This is exactly what I use when fishing, when, after a cliff, I manage to remove the torn off part of the equipment from the reservoir.

It is quite obvious that this knot is completely unsuitable for spinning rigs, because it will constantly “stammer” in the rod rings. However, for a quick restoration of a dangling float tackle - when there is simply no time to knit-impose all sorts of intricate knots, he is the very thing. And his strength is very good - at least 80%.

"Loop to loop"

This method of connecting lines is very useful if it is assumed that during the course of fishing there will be a need to quickly change leashes or part of the equipment. The strength that it possesses is quite high - about 95%.

An inexperienced fisherman may have a natural question - what is the best loop to use for this knot? The photos above use the Flemish loop (aka the figure-eight loop).

I have been using this loop knot for a long time and it has never let me down. But there are also other types of non-tightening loops, which - according to their knitting instructions - will be stronger. And nothing prevents them from being used in fishing. However, these knots should be devoted to a separate article.

knots for braid

Braid, unlike monofilament, has a relatively rough surface, and therefore, knots that tend to untie on slippery materials are not in danger here. Well, of course, all the knots for a monofilament listed above in the previous subsection are also great for tying two braids.

Grapevine - double fishing knot

He is a double English knot. A rather ancient (like Pythagorean pants) way to tie two braided ropes together.

flemish knot

He is the "counter eight". Very simple and compact. It knits quite quickly, which is important in the field.

Step 3: and now we lead the second end along the first, completely repeating all its bends.

Advanced Fishing Knot

The knot ties quickly and easily, it can be used by beginner anglers who do not have great experience knitting lines. Also, an improved fishing knot, due to its simplicity, can be tied directly on a fishing trip without any problems.

To tie a leash with an improved fishing knot, you need:

1. Place two lines in parallel, wrap the leader line around the main line and pull it up.
2. Pull the end of the leash line through the loop for the first time.
3. Once again, draw the end of the leash line into the loop.
4. Pull knot.
5. Do the same with the main line.

Everything is clear binding steps are shown in the photo below.

There is a common fishing knot how to tie it is shown in the video below.

loop-to-loop method

You can connect any two types of fishing line together in this way, including monofilament or fluorocarbon with braided fishing line. With this method, you can also attach a metal leash to the main fishing line.

One of best knots in order to make a loop - loop-eight with an additional step. It knits like this:

1. The end of the fishing line must be folded in half.
2. With the end of the resulting loop, make two turns around its base.
3. Pull the end of the loop into the first turn.

Such the loop is knitted on the main fishing line and on a leash, then these two loops are connected.

At the same time, it is important to connect them correctly: first, the loop of the main fishing line is threaded inside the leash loop, and then the end of the leash is passed into it.

How it's done in practice shown in our video.

How to tie a side leash to the main line? When installing a diversion leash the sinker is placed at the end of the main (usually braided) fishing line, and the leash is tied to it 15-30 cm higher. The side outlet leash does not hang parallel to the main line: it is located perpendicular to it at some distance. Thanks to this, the equipment on casts and during the wiring of the bait gets confused much less often.

The side leash can be tied directly to the main line with a suitable knot, but it is better to use a swivel mount: with this mounting option, the likelihood of tangling the equipment is completely reduced to almost zero.

Mounting the "outlet" through the swivel is as follows:

1. A swivel (2) is attached to the main line (1).
2. At the end of the main line there is a sinker (3).
3. To the second ear of the swivel is tied a retractable leash made of monofilament or fluorocarbon with a hook at the end (4 and 5).

There is also an alternative reliable method of tying a leash without a swivel, in general, watch the video.

How to tie multiple leashes

To tie several (2 or 3) leashes to the main line, you can use the snake knot(also known as a blood knot).

To link it, you need:

1. Place the main line and the leader line parallel.
2. Make a few turns around the leader line with the end of the main line.
3. With the end of the lead line, make several turns around the main line.
4. Draw the ends of the lines towards each other through the middle of the twist formed and tighten the knot.

After that, you will get an installation with three freely sticking out ends of the fishing line - two ends of the leader line and one - the main line. If you need two leashes, the free end of the main line must be cut off, and if there should be three leashes, a third leash must be tied to it (for this you can use an improved fishing knot or loop-to-loop installation).

All of the listed options for mounting leashes are simple enough that after some training they can be easily connected both at home and directly on a fishing trip. However, they are reliable and can be safely used in a variety of situations. In conclusion, it must be recalled that any fishing line must be moistened before tightening the knot so that it does not “burn out”.

Additionally, we offer fishermen learn about other binding methods.

Depending on what kind of fish the fisherman is set up for, he chooses fishing tackle at his own discretion. If fishing rods become the subject of fishing, then you need to competently prepare them for the process itself - check the integrity of all elements and the strength of the attachment of the fishing device:

• The rod must be strong, without kinks;
• Reel mechanism - good for winding and unwinding;
• Float - no visible damage;

strong, reliable copronka (by the way, in water its strength is reduced by 20 - 30%);
sinker - firmly fixed on a leash connecting the main fishing line and the hook.
If fishing is winter, a short rod is needed, since the fisherman is located directly above the hole. Then you can do without a fishing rod, a donkey with a hook will be enough.

To be sure that the prey will not break, you need to know how to properly tie it to the main gear. But first you need to decide on the type of leash. Types of leashes:

• For fishing predatory fish;
• For feeder and float equipment;
• For multi-hook gear;
• On a fishing line with spaced snaps;
• For carp fishing.

Most often, the attachment of equipment to the main cord is carried out using a leash. But with what knot to tie the tackle, this is another question.

Setting the leash

Having learned to impose several options for knots, the fisherman will already have the opportunity to perfectly control the situation when catching fish. If the fisherman ties the knot incorrectly, the elasticity of the fishing line will decrease. It is advisable to know how to properly tie the tackle, the safety of the prey or its loss in the abyss of water forever depends on this. The main techniques for installing a leash are:

• Improved fishing knot;
• A kind of binding loop in the loop;
• Binding of the side leash through the swivel;
• Snake knot for tying a few extra lines.

Now in more detail about binding methods:

1. The Improved Fisherman's Knot is a simple knot that even a beginner can handle. Two fishing lines are held evenly, in contact with each other, the equipment wraps around the main one and is held vertically. Its end is dragged into the formed loop two consecutive times. The knot is tightening. All manipulations are repeated with the main line.
2. Loop to loop. This method is used to tie a metal cord. Best element making a loop - a figure eight with a slight nuance. The tip folds in half. The final loop wraps the body of the cord twice. The tip of the loop is pulled into the first turn. Such manipulation is carried out separately on the main line and on the lead line, after which they are connected. The loop of the main one is pushed inside the additional fishing line, then the tip of the additional tackle is pulled into it.
3. To tie a lead using a swivel, it is set at a 90 degree angle to the main line 20 to 30 cm above the sinker mounted on it. You can attach a side leash to the main tackle, but to make the lure less tangled, it is better to tie it through a swivel attached to the fishing line.
4. Serpent knot. The main and additional (leash) fishing lines are folded into a skeleton. The tip of the main fishing line is made several wraps around the leash. With the tip of the leader line - several wraps around the main line.

The ends of both ends are held towards each other until they are connected through the formed twist. The knot is tightened. As a result, a tackle with three tips is formed. If the question arises of how to tie a second leash, the remaining tip of the main line is cut off. And if the question is how to tie several leashes, additional leashes can be attached to the main leash using an improved knot, or the loop-to-loop technique.

These were the four basic methods for properly tying a leash to a line. Based on the tasks that he must perform in this moment, and it is fixed. There are many options for tying a leash to the main line. They differ from each other in the complexity of manipulations during attachment and reliability for holding prey. However, it is not necessary to know and apply them all, it will be enough for a fisherman to master only a few of them.

Video on how to knit leashes:

Any more or less experienced angler knows that the correct knot with which the leash is tied to the main line is an important guarantee of success during the fishing process. The fact is that at the moment of immersion in water, the fishing line loses up to twenty percent of its strength. Moreover, if the knot chosen to tie the leash to the main line was unsuccessful, then the chance of a break increases by another thirty percent or more.

It turns out that a leash well attached to the main line plays no less important role than, for example, a bait, a powerful reel, a strong rod, and so on.

After all, no matter how good the bait is, no matter how high the reel is, no matter how strong the rod is, if the leash comes off the main line due to a poorly selected or incorrectly tied knot, then you won’t see the catch at all (the only consolation is some knots can easily and quickly knit literally in the "field" conditions.

Another thing is that tying hooks to a leash is somewhat more difficult. And time is running out and you can not notice how the bite suddenly ends, and leave with nothing at all). So, this matter, that is, tying the leash to the fishing line, should be taken no less responsibly than the rest, at first glance, more important, even paramount things.

But there are several good options for attaching a leash to the main line, which will definitely not fail at the right time. Some of them are simple and easy to learn, and some are quite the opposite. But it is important to remember what more people practiced in something, the easier it is given to him over time.

The main options for attaching a leash

And the simplest of them is the so-called loop-to-loop method. Although it is worth noting that “simple” does not equal “unreliable”.

The bandage order is as follows:

There is a so-called "improved fishing knot". It knits in the same way as the "loop in the loop", it is easy and fast. It is important that it can be done right on the spot and no special devices are needed for this at all. The knot turns out to be universal.

And it happens like this:

A knot called "Nail" has a good strength.

It is not as easy to perform as the other two, but its effectiveness pays for all the effort expended:

Another knot that is very popular among experienced anglers is the "eight". Simple and uncomplicated in its essence, it does its job well and holds the connection between the leash and the main line firmly.

How it knits:

1. Line and leash are placed parallel to each other.
2. A loop is knitted in the shape of a figure eight according to the principle of the "Flemish loop".
3. The knot is tightened.

Fastening with swivel and carabiners

Plus, quite often anglers use a knot called "Improved clinch". To say that it is very strong means to say nothing: its strength reaches ninety-five percent, which is an excellent result and gives every reason to believe that even the largest individual of the reservoir (weighing up to ten kilograms) will not be able to tear the leash off the main fishing line (of course , both the fishing line and the leash itself must withstand such a weight.

And the process of its complete manufacture is as follows:

1. The free end of the fishing line is threaded through the swivel of the leash.
2. Then, the same end wraps the fishing line around its axis about four or even five times, while not tightening the knot.
3. Then you need to pass the end through the hole formed near the swivel ring.
4. And finally, having previously moistened the knot, tighten the knot in the most usual way.

But it is worth considering that this type of knot is not recommended to be used if not ordinary, but braided fishing line is wound on the reel.

It was mentioned above that the leash has a swivel. But in order for it to appear there, you need to tie it. To do this, you can use a simple knot, which is made according to the following scheme:

Such a node, by the way, turns out to be motionless.

In addition, you can tie a side leash with a swivel and carabiner. And it's done like this:

1. A sinker is hung at the end of the main line.
2. The leash is tied twenty or thirty centimeters above the sinker (here it is important to consider that the leash should be perpendicular to the main fishing line).

And the second point needs to be said in more detail. If you tie the leash to the fishing line directly, then the chance of entangling these gears increases dramatically. If you do this with a swivel and carabiner, then the likelihood of entanglement is reduced significantly. And then you need to tie the swivel with a carabiner to the main line, and attach a leash to it.

Features of attaching several leashes

Moreover, more than one side leash can be tied to the main line. There can be several, up to three pieces (!). But you need to connect them correctly. And it is necessary to do this not only in order not to confuse the leashes, but also, of course, not to tear them off the main fishing line.

And this is done best with the help of the so-called "snake knot", which is knitted like this:

It turns out one already tied leash and two freely sticking out ends, to which, if initially made long, you can tie a couple more leashes. For reliability, you can tie swivels with carabiners to them and attach leashes to them.

In this case, it all depends on the imagination, the main thing is not to overdo it, not to make such a structure that will clearly scare away the fish. If there is no need for three or even two leashes, then it is better to simply cut the ends.

Thus, it turns out that there is nothing difficult in attaching a leash to a fishing line and anyone can do it, even without proper skill. The main thing is to get a bit of patience and perseverance, because the fishing line is thin, and the knots themselves are small in size and it’s quite normal if it doesn’t work the first time.

As they say, it was not the gods who burned the pots. It is better to practice many times, so that later, in the event of an unforeseen situation (for example, a break in the leash right in the pond), you can quickly fix the problem and not lose precious time, which is so important during the fishing process.

• To tie a leash with a fishing line, you can use the simple loop-to-loop method.
• To prevent tangling of the main line with the leader, it is recommended to use swivel with carabiners.
• Swivels with carabiners can be attached with a fixed node.
• Really tie to the main line up to three leashes.
• To tie three leashes, it is better to use the "snake knot".
• For the "snake knot" it is better to leave the long ends of the fishing lines and leashes if the plans include the attachment of two additional leashes.
• Each node has its own specific strength(a list of all the knots given in the article with an indication of their strength will be given below).
• Absolutely everyone, even the most inexperienced angler, can cope with any knot. The main thing is patience and perseverance.
• Properly tied leash to the line plays a huge role in fishing: if the connection between the gear is weak, then the fish can easily rip it off and leave with the hook.
• Each node, having its own specific strength, at the same time partially weakens the line and somehow increases the chances of breaking by a few percent.

Many novice anglers don't know how to make classic fishing leads that can be attached to almost any fishing tackle with a simple loop-to-loop connection. First, let's look at how to make a leash with one hook, and then we will analyze how to make leashes with two hooks.

Leash with one hook

To begin with, we need the hook itself and fishing line.

First, we unwind a little fishing line, and our task is to tie the end of the fishing line to the hook. We will bind with a standard knot. This knot is considered standard because it is used by the vast majority of fishermen. We take the end of the fishing line and thread it into the eye of the hook.

On the reverse side, we take it out a little and bend it. We get a loop.

Now we intercept this loop with our hand,

and with the other hand we wrap the working end of the fishing line 4-5 times around the forend of the hook.

After each turn of the fingers right hand we hold our winding.

After we have done 4 - 5 turns, we quickly intercept the winding with the other hand and we get a free end and our loop.

And this end is simply inserted into the loop.

Now we wet it all and at the same time tighten it at both ends. Then we pull the entire winding to the loop and tighten it well.

We cut off the excess end of the fishing line, and our hook is securely tied to the fishing line.

Knitting a loop on a leash with a figure-eight knot

Now we select the required length of the leash, we make a bend on the fishing line

and knit the loop with a figure-eight knot. We make such a loop

rotate 180 degrees

and in this loop we pass another loop. We get a knot in the form of a figure eight.

Wet, tighten and cut off the fishing line that comes from the reel. That's it, we have a leash with one hook ready.

Leash with two hooks and a loop at the end

Now we will knit a leash with two hooks.

In principle, this process is similar to the process of knitting leashes with one hook. First, we do the same thing - we unwind a little fishing line and tie the first hook to its end. We knit in exactly the same knot as the previous leash.

Now we measure the length of the leash we need. But here you need to take into account that a little fishing line will go to tying the second hook and, also, a little fishing line will go to the loop that will be between the hooks.

Therefore, we unwind the fishing line with a margin, bite off and tie a second hook to this end. We have a piece of fishing line with hooks at both ends. Next, we expose these hooks in such a way that one of them is higher than the other.

Because if they are on the same level, then during fishing they will always get confused with each other. On the bend of the fishing line we make a loop "eight". Wet and tighten. Pull up with one hook

and for the second hook.

We have a leash with two hooks.

The connection of the leash and the main line "loop in the loop"

Let's see how it attaches to the main line. On the main line, a loop must be prepared in advance,

and with a loop-to-loop connection we attach a leash to it.

We impose and thread one, and then the second hook,

and tighten the loop.

All. The leash with two hooks is ready.

Leads for fishing on a float rod: how to knit and equip

Leads for fishing are one of the most important elements in the equipment of any float rod, without which you should not count on large and stable catches. Experienced fishermen treat this component of gear with due seriousness, while beginners do not always take into account its length, diameter and other manufacturing nuances.

A leash for a float fishing rod is a piece of thread between the hook and the main fishing line. In almost all cases, its diameter and tensile strength are smaller. This is needed for the following:

• to protect the entire rig from breaking in case of a blind hook, sharp hooking and playing a large specimen;
• for maximum invisibility, so as not to scare away cautious fish.

In addition, the use of a leash allows the angler to quickly change the hook, choosing the best one for the nozzle used and the activity of the fish.

Leash elements

In order to make sense in the manufacture of fishing leads, it is necessary to understand how each of its components affects the characteristics and performance. The branch consists of only two elements: a fishing line and a hook. But they should be selected with all seriousness, so as not to be disappointed directly on the pond.

Fishing line is the most important detail not only in the leash, but in the entire equipment of the float rod. A shy fish sees a thick, visible thread well, so it takes the proposed bait with caution. Often this explains why one fisherman successfully catches, and the second one waits a long time for a bite, and then it turns out to be single.

The diameter of the leash for the float rod must be selected as small as possible. However, one should reasonably approach its thickness. Too thin a line will often break when playing, hooking or contact with underwater obstacles. A thick tap, on the contrary, is too noticeable and significantly reduces the number of bites.

The color of the leash is also important. It should not stand out too much against the background of the reservoir, so as not to scare away the fish. The color of the fishing line is chosen depending on the conditions of fishing:

• Among algae - green, brown.
• On clean sandy soil - yellow, light brown, transparent.
• On the pebbly bottom - brown, dark yellow, transparent, white.
• Among snags and on muddy ground - black, brown.

Transparent thread is the most versatile and suitable for any fishing conditions. Therefore, many expensive professional fishing lines are made just like that and do not put the angler in an uncomfortable position when it is required to select the appropriate color for the leash for specific conditions.

The hook is an equally important element of the "floater". It serves to deliver the bait to the fishing area, hooking and subsequent retention of the fish. Its main parameters are strength and size. The first depends on the material used by the manufacturer. The quality of well-known brands is beyond doubt, but inexpensive products can fail at the most inopportune moment.

The size of the hook used should not be selected according to the weight of a possible trophy, as all beginners mistakenly believe, but according to a specific bait. In addition, the thickness of the leash also affects his choice. It is unreasonable to tie a large number on a very thin fishing line and hook a large bait and vice versa.

Leash length

It is necessary to choose the length of the leash intelligently, since this characteristic has a significant impact on the biting of the fish and on the performance of the equipment itself. Too long a retraction scares the fish less, but then the sensitivity of the gear drops and the angler does not always clearly fix the contacts with the bait.

For each method float fishing the required length of the leash has already been determined, which, of course, may vary depending on the given conditions on the reservoir, the mood of the fish and other significant factors:

• For roach, the optimal length of the leash is 20–25 cm. With a completely passive biting, it can be increased to 40 cm.
• Bleak is caught with a leader no longer than 15 cm. It no longer makes sense, since fishing is carried out in the upper layers of the water.
• For bream and carp, it is customary to use short leashes. Most often, anglers use bends 5–15 cm long.

When fishing with a match or Bologna rod, leashes no shorter than 25 cm are used. In some cases, their length can reach a meter. In fishing with a deaf snap, such impressive bends are not used.

How to make a leash?

Now it remains to consider how to knit leashes. There are many options for their manufacture, but the basic rules always remain the same:

• The own strength of the leash should be lower than that of the main thread. This will allow you to keep the equipment on the hook or playing a large fish. Subsequently, replacing a piece of fishing line with a hook is much easier than rebuilding the entire tackle. Plus, it's much cheaper.
• The leash should be minimally visible to the fish. Properly chosen thickness makes the rig not only balanced and harmonious, but also incredibly catchy.

Advice! If with the help of a float fishing rod it is planned to catch predatory representatives of the ichthyofauna, then the withdrawal must be made from materials that are resistant to their sharp teeth. It can be fluorocarbon, soft leader material, steel and others.

So, the simplest do-it-yourself leash is done as follows:

After that, it remains to place the received branch in the leash and attach it to the main fishing line right on the shore.

Photo 2. Leash with swivel.

Often, beginners have a question, how to tie two hooks on float rod? There are several options for placement, the main ones look like this:

Photo 4. The leash between the stoppers is above the load.

• The second hook is simply put on the main line and can move freely along it. The stopper for it is the weights of the equipment.

All the presented options have the right to exist and should be used depending on the fishing conditions, the fishing horizon, the mood of the fish and the baits used. A leash with two hooks is used by many float lovers. This allows you to increase the number of bites and quickly pick up a catchy nozzle or bait.

How to tie a leash to the main line?

The easiest and most reliable way to attach the leader to the main line is “loop in loop”. This option allows you to quickly change the tap to another, if necessary. In addition, there are no knots in this mount, which has a positive effect on the strength of the equipment as a whole.

Fastening through a carabiner also allows you to quickly change the leash, but due to the knots, the breaking load of the equipment is reduced. Its visibility increases, which can affect the biting of fish.

You can tie the leash directly to the main thread using a knot. You need to understand that later, to replace it, you will have to cut the fishing line, and the strength of the equipment drops. This option is used when the fishing conditions are known in advance and there is no need to change the branch during the fishing process.

How to make a leash for a pike with your own hands?

"What Russian doesn't like to drive fast?" - wrote N. Gogol. And by analogy, I would like to ask a question: what Russian does not like good fishing? And if even on calm water and on a pike? It's just a dream! But to do without special devices in catching such a difficult fish will not work. Most fishermen advocate such a simple device as a pike leash, which allows you to minimize the likelihood of losing your catch. And others say that leashes do not signal all bites. So who is right? What should be homemade leashes for pike or is it easier not to bother with needlework and buy them in a store?

What to catch

Today you can buy almost anything: companies engaged in the production of various equipment for fishing are ready to offer any devices, among which even the most demanding client will find what he likes, including a leash for pike, and hooks, and other necessary stuff. But according to our mentality, we are not supposed to go the easy way, which is why the old-fashioned ways of fishing are still popular. This explains the relevance of the classic girders - simple, budgetary, and most importantly, effective gear. Its design entirely depends on the preferences of the fisherman, the only remark is that it should be minimalistically simple: no one needs a huge number of small details.

A little about the line

We have a zherlitsa, but you can’t catch much on a twig-cloth, as our ancestors simplified this tackle: you need fishing line and weights. The fishing line is usually chosen classic: 0.35-04 mm. A thinner one can not only not support the weight of the fish, but also winter fishing to rub against the ice, the thick one - to be too hard. Of course, it all depends on the general conditions of fishing: it is simply unreasonable to take a thin fishing line to water bodies where there are a lot of snags.

And about the weights

The next question is sinkers. It is logical that the lighter the weight, the more invisible it is to a potential victim. At a depth of 3-6 meters, a weight of 5-7 g is enough, with an increase in depth - 8-10 g. In shallow water, 3-6 g is enough, or you can completely abandon extra weight, driving tackle under the ice, for example with a stick. When choosing between sliding and solid weights, it is better to choose the first option, or, alternatively, upgrade the tackle with silicone stoppers placed above and below the sinker, which will provide the necessary sliding.

Leashes: pros and cons

Let's move on to next element. Pike leash is perhaps one of the most controversial details of catching this fish. Someone thinks that you can do without it, others object: you can’t pull it out. In any case, even among those who choose a leash, there are two more camps: fans of fishing using a metal product and using leashes for pike from fishing line. No one will say which is better, it all depends on the personal preferences of the fisherman: both can be torn off and bitten. Moreover, purchased leashes are no better, and sometimes even worse, than those that the fisherman makes on his own. Let's figure out how to make a leash for a pike with your own hands.

Fluorocarbon leader

Most often in stores there are fluorocarbon leashes for pike. Reviews about them, as always, are very contradictory: some are delighted, others say that choosing something like this means giving up a good catch. How many people, so many opinions. In any case, the ability to make this type of leash does not hurt anyone.

We will need: fluorocarbon fishing line, one swivel with a clasp, another regular one, crimper, needle file and crimp tubes. It all starts with sawing the tubes into two halves and removing irregularities from the cut points. Then we insert the fishing line, hang the swivels and thread the free end of the fluorocarbon back into the tube so that we get a loop inside which the swivels hang, moreover, there is also a loop on the other side of the tube. A loop with a swivel is tightened to about 6 mm, while the other - to the very end. We get rid of excess fluorocarbon, crimp the tube and, having measured 35 centimeters of fishing line, repeat all this at its other end.

string leash

Let's move on to a more affordable option - leashes for pike from a string. The most optimal solution would be string number 2, although, in principle, you can use the first number. To make a leash, you will need a drill or a screwdriver, something that will help fix this drill in one position on the table, 2.5 mm nails, mosquito surgical clips, wire cutters, swivels, carabiners and, of course, the strings themselves. A separate advantage of this method is the speed of making leashes - it takes 30-40 seconds for one with proper skill.

First, we work with nails: they need to be blunted, polished, and one cut off the hat. Next, we fix the drill on the table and insert that headless nail into the cartridge, before that, bending it like the letter “G”. And we proceed to the direct production.

The string is bent in half, its ends, about 2.5 cm, are also bent. Then a swivel and a carabiner are hung on the string, the ends are twisted - it turns out that the carabiner hangs on two loops. After that, we connect the twisting points with a clamp so that the ends of the string do not come out of the clamp. Already one loop is hung on a nail, the place of twisting is smeared with oil, you can do without it, but it will be more difficult. We make 5-7 turns of the drill chuck so that the ends are twisted. We twist the leash by threading the second nail, oiled, into a large loop and turning on the drill at low speed. It's better to under-twist than to over-twist, remember that. And our leash is ready.

Braided leash

A double leash made of fishing line for pike is slightly different in its characteristics from the usual one. Therefore, let's move on to the classic braided leash. To make it, you will need the braid itself, all the same swivel and carabiner, threads and glue. It all starts with a braid - it must be taken 5-6 centimeters more than the estimated length of the leash. We tie the ends of the cord, about 3 cm, into ordinary knots, after wrapping the remaining parts of the braid, which are below the knots, with threads - this is how we connect them. To fix it, we lubricate the thread bandage with glue, which must be moisture resistant - we doom the tackle to constant contact with water. When the glue dries, we thread the thread loop into the eye of the vetlyuchka. Having also hung a carabiner on it, we pull it down - the loop is tightened, being fixed on the swivel.

The advantages of this method include simplicity and uniqueness - everything can be made in such a way that it is most convenient for a particular fisherman. And the problem is that the braid is quite expensive, so it’s not a fact that a do-it-yourself leash made of fishing line for a pike, or a braid will pay for itself.

Retractable leash

The last question is how to make a retractable leash for pike. In general, it is no different from ordinary fishing leashes, except for the features of its installation. It all starts with the fact that a sinker is attached to the end of the working line, preferably teardrop-shaped, the weight of which depends on the conditions of fishing. Further, about 30-40 centimeters from the weight, a leash is tied, it should be about a meter long. And at the end of the leash, a bait is fixed - a twister, a vibrotail or something like that.

There are certain features in the technique of fishing. Firstly, if the fisherman is standing on the shore, the equipment should be thrown as far as possible, while avoiding places with an abundance of grass and snags. When the bait reaches the bottom, while the tension loosens a little, it's time to start reeling, ideally 2-4 reel movements and a pause, and during the pause, the line should be as tight as possible. It is at this stage that if a bite appears, you need to hook immediately.

“How to make a diverting leash for a pike?” - an elementary question. We take the methods of a line leash and simply fix the device on a regular fishing line. The only thing you need to take care of is the length of such a leash, it is much longer than other similar gear.

Conclusion

A pike leash is a necessary thing in the arsenal of a fishing lover. And the plus of this gear is that it is quite budgetary, and if you wish, you can make it yourself. There is nothing complicated, as you can see. So... No scales, no tail, fishermen.

Do-it-yourself leashes - a fisherman's workshop

It's not news to anyone that spinning leashes can be made from the so-called "voles".
I will not repeat the information beaten to me, but I will try to convey the little-known.
For nine years of using such leashes, I proved to myself by practice:

• The minimum number of turns in the twist is 7, with less it creeps.
• Soldering the twist does not give anything, the leash does not break in the twist itself, but a millimeter before it starts, in the place of pressing with pliers.
• The breaking load in statics is not less than 8 kg, I checked it myself with a suspended dumbbell. With a sharp jerk and a sudden stop, a gap occurs, the load at that moment could not be calculated.
• On the leash from the side of the cord, you must put either a swivel, or a clamping ring, or a carabiner, since the wire is rather thin, the knot on the cord burns itself out.
• Do not make long leashes, this only leads to deformation of the leash.
• After a serious load on the leash (fighting, hook), put a new one, the cheapness of these leashes allows.
• Bite off the tails on the twist, they not only collect any mud on themselves, but very well fit into the fingers, clothes, the navigator ...

Wire "Vole"

We stretch the veins

Choosing steel

We make a bend and put a clasp in it

We clamp the short and long sides by bringing them together

We twist the hook, with tension - for uniformity of turns

I repeat once again, it’s not necessary, this leads to a break in the wire at the point of pressing with pliers

Only in this way, the ends must be together

How to make a leash for a fishing rod

Fishing among mankind appeared a very long time ago. Fishing was almost the only source of food in ancient times.

Today, for some people, this is not an easy sport or amateur interest, as well as a way to feed their family.

A variety of types of fishing pleases the modern fisherman - these are spinning rods, nets, TVs and much more. But it has always been thought that sporty look fishing is a fishing rod.

The leash is the most important part of any fishing rod. But it is also a key part of the rod. Many experts believe that the whole result of fishing depends on the leash.

Some take a fishing line and a hook instead of a leash, which is not entirely correct.

For a good leash, the following elements are needed:

• All the advantages and qualities of fishing line.
• Great hook selection.
• The length of the leash must be measured exactly.

Leash characteristics:

• Advantages and disadvantages of hooks and fishing line.
• Knot strength.
• Length.
• Visibility.

fishing line

The most important element of a fishing rod is the line. The fish in most cases are very scared, which is why it is so hard to catch them. How the fish behaves next to the bait depends on the thickness of the fishing line.

Even one micron determines the positive or negative result of fishing.

When choosing a fishing line, you should pay attention to its quality, in this case you don’t need to save money, because, as they say, “The miser pays twice.”

Much of the leader line depends on the brand or manufacturer.

Most often, in practice, you can find that many manufacturers on the packaging with fishing line write its diameter a couple of microns less than it actually is.

When buying a fishing line with a diameter of 0.08 millimeters, you should expect it to be 0.1 millimeters in diameter.

This way out of the situation makes many manufacturers a reputation for the release of heavy-duty fishing line by increasing the diameter.

Such a fishing line can withstand a few kilograms of fish more or a load of more Newtons.

To date, there are many fake fishing lines on the market that do not meet the established quality standards, they have insufficient softness, breaking load, memory and reduced knot strength.

Mini Line Tests

Therefore, a way out of the current situation was found long ago. Most anglers with experience use it.

By conducting some mini-tests, the fishermen themselves note the actual diameter, breaking load and date of purchase of the fishing line. In the case when the selected fishing line does not meet the requirements, then we can assume that money wasted in vain.

The diameter changes along the length of the fishing line - this is important and necessary to know. Significant floating of the diameter of the fishing line indicates that the quality of such a product is very poor.

Each angler should have a micrometer, which will have a small measurement error, and there will also be a steelyard.

Measuring strength in this way, it is not a fact that you will find out its real. Sooner or later, a value will come up at which the fishing line can burst. So you can distinguish one type of fishing line from another.

In order to decide on the choice of the most suitable fishing line, all the data that is obtained during the mini-test must be recorded so as not to be forgotten.

Leash length

There is no need to hurry with the choice of the length of the fishing line on the leash. The longer the leash, the less scared the fish, but it should also be taken into account that the same length also affects the result of biting. The longer the leash, the less bite.

In most cases, experienced fishermen choose the length of the leash depending on the area in which they are going to fish.

Anglers' advice can be summarized and built as follows:

• A twenty-five or forty-centimeter leader is best for fishing with match tackle or a Bolognese rod.
• A leash of twenty, twenty-five centimeters is best suited for fishing for roach with a fishing rod.
• A ten fifteen centimeter leader is best suited for catching bleak and bream.

Making leashes for float fishing rods

At self-manufacturing leashes on fishing rods must adhere to a couple of rules:

1. The strength of the fishing line on the leash should be different and be significantly smaller than the main line.
2. When fishing for predatory fish, you must use a very strong leash and not to be eaten.

When you adhere to the above rules, then observing the first, you can lose the hook, with a strong jerk of the rod, as it can catch on an uneven bottom, snags or algae.

In order for the leash to be almost invisible in the water, it must be painted in the most suitable color for the reservoir.

A small carabiner is attached to the leash when it comes to live bait fishing.

However, there will be fewer problems with the line, as it can twist.

For a good hooking of fish, you need to attach a leash to inside hook - this is one of the important points.

A knot is knitted at the end of the leash.

The strength of the knots should be monitored, since they are the weak link.

You need to know how to tie the right knot.

One option is number eight. But there is also a more complex knot called the triple eight.

Important! When using a triple eight with a thin line, it is impossible to predict exactly when the strength will begin to decrease. The essence of this knot is that instead of a single wrapping, there is a triple wrapping. It is necessary to tie a knot on a thin fishing line, so that the loop is as small as possible.

It is best to use a sewing needle in such a knot, but it is necessary to take it with a polished one end and a cut on the other.

Operating principle:

• As in the usual eight, you need to make a ring, for this you need to fold the fishing line in half.
• We make a twist with a needle inserted into the resulting ring.
• The needle remains in the ring, and with the help of its hook, the tip of the loop clings and is pulled into the loop, which is twisted.
• In order to tighten the loop, it is necessary to moisten it and pull the fishing line and needle. This is done to make the loop as small as possible.
• You need to tighten the knot. After that, the elongated needle must be inserted into the end loop and with its help completely tighten the knot.

Why do you need a leash?

Firstly, when a hook occurs during fishing, the leash will be the first to break, thereby preserving the float, and sinkers from lead shots. To restore the leash, you only need a new piece of fishing line and a hook.

Secondly, if you do not use a thick line that scares the fish so much, but take a fluorocarbon line, then the fishing result will be much better.

Fluorocarbon line is best for tying the leader and is what most anglers recommend.

Manufacturers of fluorocarbonate line specifically developed it specifically for making leashes from it.

On the shelves of the store you can buy a fluorocarbon fishing line from five to fifty meters, but it is an order of magnitude more expensive than a monolithic one.

For one season, you can take a ten-meter coil and it will be quite enough, since little material is spent on one leash.

In order to attach the leash to the fishing line, you can use various knots. But it should be remembered that depending on the knot, the length of the leash will be reduced, so you should take the fishing line with a small margin.

How to make two leashes on a fishing rod?

According to many anglers, you do not need to make two leashes on a float rod. But if you have such a need, then you can use a home-made "rocker" or purchase a branch from 8 to 13 centimeters in the store so that the leashes do not get tangled with each other.

The fastening of two leashes is identical, as well as the fastening of a single one.

How to catch more fish?

I have been active fishing for quite some time and have found many ways to improve the bite. And here are the most effective ones:

1. Cool activator. Attracts fish in cold and warm water with the help of pheromones included in the composition and stimulates their appetite. It is a pity that Rosprirodnadzor wants to ban its sale.
2. More sensitive gear. Reviews and instructions for other types of gear you can find on the pages of my site.
3. Lures using pheromones.

You can get the rest of the secrets of successful fishing for free by reading my other materials on the site.

What is a withdrawal?

Most often it is used for fishing with a bottom rod. It must be attached to the main line with a large diameter, and leashes from a line of smaller diameter are attached to it on both sides.

Also in practice, a branch is used, which is called a "rocker arm". It is also attached to the main line with a large diameter, but it has two leashes at the ends with hooks already attached.

This type of withdrawal can also guarantee good result fishing, as two baits are used at once, and avoiding entanglement between leashes. Such taps are relatively inexpensive and any angler can purchase them.

Happy fishing!

How long have you had a really BIG CATCH?

When was the last time you caught dozens of HEALTHY pikes/carps/breams?

We always want to get results from fishing - to catch not three perches, but ten kilogram pikes - this will be a catch! Each of us dreams of this, but not everyone knows how.

A good catch can be achieved (and we know this) thanks to good bait.

It can be prepared at home, you can buy it in fishing stores. But it is expensive in stores, and to prepare bait at home, you need to spend a lot of time, and, to be honest, homemade bait does not always work well.

Do you know that disappointment when you bought bait or cooked it at home, and caught three or four bass?

So maybe it's time to use a really working product, the effectiveness of which has been proven both scientifically and in practice on the rivers and ponds of Russia?

Bait FishHungry gives the very result that we cannot achieve on our own, especially since it is cheap, which distinguishes it from other means and you don’t need to spend time on making it - ordered it, brought it and go!

Of course, it is better to try once than hear a thousand times. Especially now - the season! A 50% discount on your order is a great bonus!

how to tie to a fishing line, ways to do it yourself

A leash for spinning is an important element of a set of gear, without which one cannot count on successful fishing. Even a well-chosen rod, reel, fishing line and baits do not guarantee a bite and effective playing of a predatory fish without a good and reliable leash.

In almost any direction of spinning, the use of a leash is necessary. It is needed to perform the following tasks:

• Prevents cuts and breaks of lures from contact with the teeth of a predator or underwater obstacles;
• Allows you to make the installation invisible when hunting for cautious fish;
• Plays a key role in creating spaced rigs. For example, a leash is needed for a lead leash, Carolina or texas rigs, split shot and others.

Naturally, depending on the method of fishing, a leash is selected from one or another material endowed with special properties and designed for a particular direction. Below we will consider how to tie a leash to a spinning rod, what they are, how to make a leash for spinning with your own hands?

What are the leashes?

Leads for spinning fishing are made from various materials. There is no single rule for choosing them. It all depends on what goals the angler pursues and what requirements he imposes on the withdrawal. For example, in ultralight, the invisibility of tackle is important, and when hunting for pike, abrasion resistance comes to the fore.

The most commonly used fishing leashes are:

• fluorocarbon;
• steel;
• from monofilament fishing line;
• titanium;
• from lead material.

Leads made of thick monofilament line

Each material has its own disadvantages and advantages. Below we will try to understand this issue in more detail and consider each leash separately, like a spinning rating.

Fluorocarbon line guides

Fluorocarbon is undoubtedly the most popular and versatile material. It has two main qualities that determine its popularity among spin fishing enthusiasts. It is used in ultra-light directions, suitable for "adult" fishing.

Due to the refractive index, close to the refractive index in water, "flurik" is invisible to fish. She does not see him, therefore she attacks the bait much more boldly. This quality is especially important in ultralight when fishing chub, ide, trout, asp, perch and other cautious underwater inhabitants.

Fluor leashes inspire confidence with their appearance

In addition, fluorocarbon has increased abrasion resistance. A fishing line with a thickness of the order of 0.30–0.50 mm quite confidently resists pike teeth, and even more so to zander's fangs or catfish brush. Thread less than 0.25 mm in diameter is not as reliable, but behaves well when in contact with shell or snag.

Making a leash out of fluorocarbon fishing line is easy:

1. We take a piece of fluorocarbon fishing line of the desired length;
2. We tie the leash to the braid with Albright or Carrot knots;
3. From the free end we fasten the clasp with a swivel;
4. It remains to cut off the excess ends of the fishing line.

It is not necessary to knit a leash directly to the main fishing line for spinning. You can attach it with a swivel. To do this, you can immediately make several bends at home, equipping them with all the necessary fittings.

Advice! Try to purchase high-quality fluorocarbon fishing line to get the most reliable leash.

Fishing for ultra-light spinning needs the thinnest possible equipment. Therefore, it is sometimes advisable to knit the bait directly to the leash without the use of fasteners and swivels. This is how rods are equipped for fishing trout, chub, rudd. This is true for paid or pressed reservoirs.

For a beginner who is just starting to master fishing with such equipment as retractable leash, there are many questions about the correct installation. How to tie a leash to the main line? How to do it right so that the knot does not unravel? How to make installation with minimal loss of strength? These are not idle questions. And in this review, I will tell you what knots there are, options for tying a bypass leash. I will point out their pros and cons.

In fact, there are a number of ways to rig with . Some options involve special nodes, which we will definitely consider a little lower, some - the introduction of some fittings. So, let's go through the methods, from the simplest to the more complex and advanced.

I will define the task. At the end of the main fishing line or cord, we have a sinker tied (or otherwise attached). Above, at some distance, you need to fix a leash from a thinner fishing line than the main one (or from fluorocarbon). Actually, a hook with a silicone bait is attached to the end of this leash.

It is clear that the easiest way to tie a retractable leash does not involve the use of any auxiliary elements, special or ordinary swivels,. Just one line is tied to another. To securely tie the leash, you need to use special knots.

An easy way to tie a leash

On the main line, an ordinary single knot at the required distance from the point of attachment of the sinker. But the knot is not tightened yet. The lead line is folded in half, leaving sufficient ends, and applied to the main line, bending down. The long end, the leash itself, is threaded through the knot on the main line. At the other end, 5-6 turns are wound around the main fishing line. With the same end with which the winding was carried out, we go into the formed loop from the leash fishing line. Smoothly and evenly tighten the resulting knot.

This is one of the easiest knots for tying a lead leash. At the same time, it is quite reliable and such equipment is not so strongly subject to twisting of the leash.

Attachment of the leash using the loop-to-loop method

Another common, but, in my opinion, less successful, is the method of attaching a branch leash using the loop-to-loop method. On the main line, at the desired distance from the sinker, a loop is formed. The same loop is formed at the end of the leash. A loop can be obtained either by bending the end of the fishing line in half and tying an ordinary double or triple knot. Or, you can use the figure eight knot.

Such methods of forming loops are good with fishing line and fluorocarbon, but are unsuitable with slippery line. So, if a cord is present in the installation, it is better to discard the loop-to-loop method, without adding a swivel to the snap.

Well, with a simple noose we fix the leash in the loop on the main fishing line. Such an elementary option, I think, is familiar to all anglers.

Not the most the best option both in strength and in the prevention of overlaps. But, there is a place to be.

Retractable leash through a single swivel

It is possible to mount a branch leash by introducing one ordinary swivel into the installation. One ring of the swivel is tied with some kind of classic knot (“clinch”, reverse clinch, “”, etc.). And in the second ring, the swivel is tied, in the same way, a leash. You can also fasten the leash using the loop-in-loop method, using the second ring of the swivel as one of the loops.

This method is somewhat better than just forming a loop on the main line. Firstly, the introduction of a swivel somewhat reduces the tendency for the tackle to twist. Secondly, there is no risk of cutting the lines against each other, with direct contact according to the previous method. As for the overlaps and twisting of the equipment, a lot depends on the ratio of the lengths of the leash and the section from the sinker to the attachment point of the outlet, as well as on the rigidity of the lines used. It is clear that the stiffer the fishing line, the less overlaps (that's why the fly is so good here). But, there are problems.

Retractable leash with triple swivel

A special triple swivel can be used to mount the outlet leash. Everything is extremely simple here. Three rings of the swivel are tied, respectively: the main fishing line, the sinker leash and the outlet leash with the bait.

Not a bad option. But, in terms of overlaps, everything here is exactly the same as in the method above. If you correctly select the stiffness of the lines and the length of the sections, then everything is fine.

And, finally, a sliding method of mounting a bypass leash. My favorite way. Especially when fishing on rivers, on the course. The most promising in terms of playing bait. The most sensitive montage to bites. But, it requires two ordinary swivel at once.

First, you need to make a leash for the sinker. A piece of fluorocarbon is taken. A sinker is tied at one end, and a small swivel at the other. The free ring of this swivel is put on the end of the main fishing line. Further, it is not superfluous to plant a small bead or bead that does not pass through the swivel ring. And another swivel is tied to the end of the main line. To him, already, the diverting leash itself is attached.

Here are the ones I know and use ways to tie a bypass leash. Surely, there are other options for knots. But, that's enough for me. Choose for yourself the optimal schemes of this, of course, catchy installation!
