Reel performance for fishing

The reel is mounted on the bottom of the rod handle in exactly the same way as a regular spinning reel is attached to a spinning rod. The direction of rotation of the reel is in the same direction as that of the spinning reel.

To remove the spool from the reel, just unscrew the nut (pos. 3). In order not to lose the nut while fishing, dropping it into the snow or into the water, it is not recommended to remove the nut from the spool with force. It is held in place by a rubber ring on the spool.

The friction brake is adjusted by turning the sprocket knob. The drag is adjusted to the breaking load of the line being used, so thinner line can be used to catch cautious fish. Turning it clockwise tightens the clutch, counter-clockwise loosens it.

To lower the bait to a predetermined depth, it is necessary to press the gear off button (pos. 6). The spool is unlocked and the bait is under own weight will begin to wind the line.

With the handle for adjusting the line overrun brake (pos. 8), the free rotation of the spool is adjusted. This adjustment ensures that the bait under its own weight reaches the bottom and the line does not run over due to the residual rotation of the spool by inertia.

To turn on the transmission mechanism, it is necessary to turn the handle in the direction of winding the line. You will hear a faint click of the gear and the button will take its working position. Fishing with spinners and balancers is carried out with the gear engaged. The anti-reverse mechanism keeps the lure at the depth chosen by the angler.

When hooking and playing fish, the anti-reverse mechanism does not allow the reel to bleed the line. The effort of bleed fishing line is regulated by a friction clutch. Adjust it according to the breaking load of the line so that the fish does not break it.

To turn on the "ratchet", the corresponding button is shifted to the center of the coil body.

The coil allows the possibility of adjustment under right hand, but this requires its disassembly and installation of a roller bearing in the coil body, having previously turned it 180 degrees. Replacing the direction of rotation of the coil requires certain skills in assembling / disassembling mechanisms. Therefore, anglers who are unsure of their abilities are advised to contact a specialist.

For optimal fishing with a reel, it is recommended to use the following rods:

Finally The Lucky John company started production of winter coils. And this time she took the procession over the most popular reel series. We can immediately say that nothing has changed, only the Brand has changed. Everything else, like quality, reliability, everything is unchanged. As a result, they stopped producing it in 2016, official deliveries stopped, so if you still find it, it will be leftovers ... (which is unlikely, given last year's hype). One of the updates to this series of reels is the addition of one more size, diameter 5.5cm.

The multiplier coil may well be considered an evolutionary development of the classic (and almost unused) simple inertia coil - these two designs have much more in common than any of them with freewheels. To date, multiplier reels for spinning dominate only a few types of fishing, giving primacy in all other cases to non-inertial ones. However, if you intend to catch really big fish, use large, heavy baits (especially with the use of jerky wires), then the multiplier reel is not replaceable, because, in essence, this design is nothing more than a light and compact winch mounted on a rod.

In general, the device of the multiplier coil is significantly different from both the "meat grinders" and the old inertial ones. Both "soap dishes" and "barrels" are similar in terms of overall design. A metal (in the vast majority of cases) spool, to which the load is transferred from a cord or fishing line, fixed inside a metal or plastic case. Rotation from the handle is transmitted to the spool through a gear transmission, the line stacker is driven by a worm gear, the nodes of which are often the weak point of the entire device, as they are often made of plastic.

These reels have two devices that prevent tangling of the line during casting and the formation of beards, this is a mechanical brake, and, depending on the specific model, magnetic or centrifugal. Both devices prevent beard formation, but do so at different points in the cast, and both need to be tuned. The mechanical one is triggered when the bait already touches the water. The spool continues to rotate at this point, and without a brake, the beard is practically guaranteed. Magnetic and centrifugal options are arranged somewhat differently. They are also adjustable according to the weight of the lures, but they work at the moment of the throw, since it is during the cast that the drum rotates at a very high speed, which is fraught with unpleasant consequences. Based on the trigger points, it is possible to carry out differential diagnostics of the localization of the problem - the beard at the lure's take-off - the reason is in the centrifugal (or magnetic) brake, at the moment of splashdown - in the mechanical one.

It is the setting of the multiplier coil, which is necessary under different weights lures, often scares away beginner anglers.

coil shape

The choice of a multiplier reel begins with the choice of its shape. There are two main options here:

  1. "barrel", whose shape is closer to cylindrical;
  2. low profile "soap dish", a more compact reel, the nickname given to which by anglers accurately describes its appearance.

Previously, it was believed that the first option is more powerful, designed to work with the most durable and thick fishing lines, while “soap dishes” were considered to be a more fragile “light” option. However, over time lineups both forms have expanded significantly, so that now many manufacturers can see the exact opposite picture - powerful low-profile models and light kegs.

Different models and the location of the handle differ - it can be on the right or left. How to choose a multiplier reel based on this criterion? Everything is quite simple here. It is believed that left-handed reels appeared due to the large number of anglers who are accustomed to spinning. The fact is that fishing with no inertia does not involve shifting the spinning from the right hand to the left, as it had to be done with inertial devices. Being the development of inertia, cartoons also inherited the location of the handle, which seemed to a number of anglers not very convenient. In response to demand, devices with a left-hand arrangement appeared, for the development of fishing, which did not need to be retrained to shift the form from hand to hand. Based on this, there are three options:


Attention! When fishing for a long time, it is good to have two rods with different options the location of the handle on the reel - using them in turn, you can give a rest to a tired hand without stopping catching. So long-term fishing on a multiplier reel will be more comfortable.

Low-profile option or "keg"?

A consensus on this matter has not been formed, especially given the lack of a strict division of these two options into heavy and light. In general, it is believed that "soap dishes" are somewhat easier to learn. So, you will have to decide what form of reel to buy individually - taking into account the balance of gear, personal preferences, and, of course, the budget.

Advantages and disadvantages

The benefits include:

  • A powerful reel can handle even really big catches without any problems.
  • The ability to use large, heavy nozzles, including using jerk wires.
  • The presence of a line counter in trolling models.
  • High sensitivity, especially with some grip options.
  • Such a device is as compact as possible at high power - a comparable inertialess machine will be simply gigantic in size.

Among the disadvantages are:

  • Greater cost compared to bezinertsionkami.
  • The need to adjust the reel for different bait weights is difficult to master, especially for beginner anglers, in addition, it is located on top of the rod, which tires the hand more.
  • Compared to inertialess "mult" is more vulnerable to different types pollution, there are also certain inconveniences when fishing in the cold season.

Setting

How to set up a multiplier reel for comfortable fishing? Everything is quite simple, but it will require some skill and a little time. The mechanical brake is easiest to set up on shore. To do this, the bait is hooked to the leash, which will be used for fishing, the blank is placed parallel to the surface of the earth. The nozzle is released, and the behavior of the spool is monitored at the moment it touches the ground. If the bait falls unhindered to the ground, and the spool makes a half-turn or a turn after falling, the brake is set properly, otherwise it is necessary to tighten / loosen until the proper result is obtained.

Photo 3. And this is what the “soap box” looks like.

Setting up a centrifugal / magnetic brake is somewhat more complicated. Everything is set up empirically - through trial and error. If the bait splashes too close, then the brake should be loosened, if dashes appear, and, as a result, beards, the brake must be strengthened.

How to use the multiplier reel without applying the brake? Many experienced anglers do not use both brakes to increase their casting distance and dismantle the line layer. At the same time, tackle is controlled in the old fashioned way, with a finger.

Attention! Casting distance is significantly increased if you control the line when casting with your finger, and also if you remove the line handle, but these are solutions for experienced anglers.

casting

The technique of casting with a multiplier reel differs from that when casting with a non-inertia and is closer to inertial products. An important point is the presence of sufficient free space, since a sharp cast with a short stroke cannot be performed here. When casting, smooth acceleration is important, which requires completely retracting the spinning back, as well as making a sufficiently large overhang of the fishing line. At correct setting brakes can not be controlled with a finger, however, loosening the brakes and fixing the line guide (or completely dismantling it) allows you to achieve maximum casting distance.

Suitable spinning and fishing lines

The form should be chosen based, first of all, on the weight of the baits that will be used for fishing. Spinning for the multiplier must also be fast and powerful enough, because the use of such gear implies an impressive size of the fish. Also, a rod for a multiplier reel often has a so-called “trigger”, which makes it easier to hold the tackle, as well as a relatively small diameter ring, which is also installed close to the blank.

The fishing line for the multiplier reel has a large diameter and breaking load. Both monofilament and braided cords are used. It is believed that it is better to buy a monofilament in such a way that it is enough to fill the spool without winding the backing. When using the line, the backing will have to be wound, because if only braid is wound, an unpleasant surprise is possible when catching a trophy specimen - a slippery line can begin to turn on the spool with its entire mass, making it impossible to fight. You can avoid this trouble by winding backing from a regular fishing line of the same diameter as the braid. It is also necessary to pay attention to the line stacker. If it is made only of metal, then the use of a cord on such a coil is impractical - the braid will begin to make cuts. If there is a ceramic insert, then such a coil can work with cords without harming itself.

Service features and popular manufacturers, the possibility of tuning

Most "mults" require relatively simple maintenance. The maintenance of the multiplier reel consists primarily in timely lubrication (using two types of lubricants - liquid and more viscous), for which, on many models, incomplete disassembly is sufficient.

The best multiplier reels, according to a number of anglers, are produced by companies Daiwa, Abu Garcia, Shimano, while budget multiplier reels can be found in each of these famous brands. It all depends on personal preferences, and the amount that the angler is willing to pay for the "cartoon".

Tuning multiplier reels primarily means improving the casting distance and reducing the weight of the device. For the first purpose, a popular improvement is to replace conventional bearings with ceramic bearings. Weight reduction is achieved by drilling additional holes in the spool. On more expensive models, perforations are sufficient in most cases, but for cheaper options, such an improvement is often justified.

Beginner fishermen are lost in front of an extensive range of gear for winter fishing. It is necessary to approach with all seriousness the choice of a coil for winter fishing. Manufacturers produce devices, separately for each fishing method. Regardless of the type, the structure must rotate freely.

In winter, you should not take summer equipment. Most float bits have plastic spools. Some fishermen are not happy with the equipment called "balalaika". In this rod, the reel with the line is hidden in the body. The axial screw makes it easy to adjust the rotation.

In severe frost and snowfalls, operation problems may arise. Snowflakes caught on the coil melt and water penetrates into the mechanism. At low temperatures, the drum may freeze.

But, the float coil has its advantages. As a rule, it has a smooth running and optimal drum volume. Most modifications have a ratchet and a brake. Even the thinnest fishing line (from 0.06 to 0.10) will not break when biting a large fish. If allowable level load will be exceeded, the fishing line will spontaneously vanish.

Open models made of plastic are very common among anglers. It is not always possible to adjust the rotation, but they are convenient to use. Some install a nipple elastic on the whip to evenly pass the line through.

Winter methods of hunting for fish do not mean only ice fishing. Spinning enthusiasts like to fish in open water areas. The predator, it turns out, is quite active in such reservoirs. To get to the promising brows and whirlpools, you need a "long-range" device.

Ice fishing enthusiasts often enjoy ice fishing with lures. By choosing a suitable inertial coil, sheer lure brings good results. Regardless of the modification, the coil for the winter must be reliable and of high quality, easily enduring any weather conditions.

Winter multiplier reels for fishing

Many fishermen, once using the "cartoons", forever abandon the traditional outdated gear. Inexperienced anglers quickly get used to the peculiarities of their operation. Winter multiplier reels for fishing are very different from the usual "meat grinders", providing strong influence for the fishing process. Thanks to their versatility and power, it becomes possible to use thick lines, large lures and heavy-duty rods. When biting a large species of fish, the fisherman will show himself quite confidently.

The use of variable weights and a small radius axle significantly reduce inertia. At the last stage of the throw, thanks to the use of a magnetic brake, it is possible to control the braking process. Sometimes, in order to prevent an unwanted "beard", the fisherman has to independently adjust the spool torsion when the bait moves. But, if you get comfortable with the features of this type of coil, such cases will not arise. All models are powerful, fast and reliable. One turn of the multiplier reel is comparable to 3-4 turns of a standard tackle.

These coils are considered the most versatile. They are used in a variety of ways fishing. When casting, the line flies off the fixed spool during the period of fishing and retrieval of the tackle.

The rotor, spinning, lays the fishing line on the spool, and when the handle is turned, the spool moves forward / backward. The inertialess reel for winter fishing has a small weight, a reliable design and comfortable dimensions.

Depending on the modification of the coil, the plug must be loosened before transportation, and to bring it into working condition, on the contrary, it must be tightened. In some types, the latch located on the handle must be pressed out.

The line tension regulator is attached to the spool or on the back of the case. The bobbin is equipped with a locking lever. But in some modifications, such a lever may be absent, and the spool lock is combined with the clutch.

Do not flush ball bearings yourself. You do not need to fully spin the device. From time to time it is necessary to smear the line roller with specially designed oil. After fishing, it is better to clean the structure from dirt, wipe dry and dry. Gently lubricate the spool gear with grease annually, in case of continuous use.

These coils also have disadvantages. When winding, the line can sometimes twist or overlap over the latch on the spool. The line-laying spring may fail. Some anglers complain about uneven friction brake operation. But still, the advantages of inertialess coils are much greater than the disadvantages.

The tackle is equipped with a friction brake. Not rigidly fixing the spool, with the maximum tension of the fishing line, it turns, thereby preventing damage to the thread. Some models have reverse brakes. This type is used for spinning and fishing with an overlap.

Excellent power allows you not to weaken the efforts of the angler. Inertial ice fishing reel is practical and durable. They have a simple design. Their cost is low, and service is affordable and easy.

Not having the necessary skills, not all beginners succeed in casting the bait well using an inertial coil. But with time comes skill and experience.

The heavier the weight of the drum, the more the free play increases, and accordingly, difficulties may arise with the removal of dynamics and the more difficult it is to stop.

To set the drum in motion, you need to make some effort. A relatively light bait makes this easy.
Equipping the spinning with an inertial coil, its sensitivity will increase many times over. The spinner will feel the movement, and even the slightest touch of the fish on the bait. He will be able to timely and effectively make a cut.

The design of the coils is simple and primitive. The drum with handles is mounted on a shaft fixed in the housing, which is equipped with a standard brake. It is possible to install additional bearings. They do not have liners and reducers. An inertial reel can be used even during the period of “winding” the fishing line with deaf knots, without worrying about the performance of the device.

The clutch is a reel brake that smoothly regulates movements. The device can be placed directly in the spool and behind. There is an opinion that reels with a rear drag are much more comfortable to adjust while fishing.
Their design is bulky, having considerable weight. The brake mechanism sometimes self-tightens. Reels equipped with a front clutch are lighter, but their mechanism quickly becomes clogged and needs periodic cleaning.
For carp or feeder fishing, reels with reverse friction are used, since it is not possible to guess the given size of the fish. In this case, when fishing, the fisherman does not hold the rod in his hands until the bite starts. For catching large specimens of representatives of cyprinids, reels with a rear friction clutch and a baitrunner are used. The latter, at the first sharp movement of the fish, removes all friction settings, helping to avoid damage to the fishing line.

In various models of coils, manufacturers place the friction clutch based on the purpose of the design and their features. So, ice fishing reels with friction, designed for carp fishing, are equipped with a brake located at the back. Light high-speed are produced only with a front clutch.

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?

Fish Megabomb gives the very result that we cannot achieve on our own, moreover, it is cheap, which distinguishes it from other means and there is no need to spend time on manufacturing - ordered, brought and go!


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

In what cases is it justified to install a small multiplier coil on winter fishing rod?
It is not needed for mormyshka fishing - this is a fact. Although, too, how to say ... After all, mormyshka mormyshka - strife. There are very large and heavy mormyshki. For example, for catching ide in the current in the spring, very large homemade mormyshki. (We used to make these out of old three kopecks, bending them into a hemisphere and filling them with tin. Several worms were put on a large hook at once) The same mormyshkas can also be used to catch burbot. For such mormyshkas, you can also put a miniature multiplier reel. Well, when catching perch, roach or other fish, another, special mormus tackle is more suitable - a balalaika fishing rod with a reel built into the handle.

When fishing with a lure or a balancer at great depths, a reel is needed - you often have to move from hole to hole in search of fish and often wind up and re-dissolve the line. In this case, the multiplier coil It can be useful . What is important here? - Winding speed and ease of use.
As for speed, the multiplier reel with a certain gear ratio allows you to quickly wind the line. But this is not much more than the winding speed of a conventional large-diameter wire spool. Unless you can not work so fast with your hand when winding the fishing line. So what's the advantage? - The fact that the multiplier reel has a more advanced ratchet brake, which can be adjusted to a certain amount. This will help when playing with a reel of a large fish that provides powerful resistance.

I do not see any other advantages in using such a reel on a winter fishing rod. On the contrary, there are more disadvantages.
After all, even the smallest and lightest multiplier reels in any case weigh more than wire reels, which can be completely plastic, and, therefore, very light. And the extra tens of grams on a winter fishing rod, which for fishing alone has to make more than one thousand strokes, is not very good. In addition, the reel mechanism has a bearing, which in severe frost, when water or snow gets in, can freeze, which will lead to problems with winding the fishing line. And it is very difficult to avoid this. After all, when playing fish, even if reeling with a reel, the fishing rod is often thrown into the snow so as not to interfere.
And one more thing: the spool of the multiplier reel is very small in diameter, so when fishing at shallow depths with its use, it is necessary to do backing (preliminarily wind some unnecessary line or cord on the reel), and then only the working line. Otherwise, small rings are formed on the line during long-term storage on the reel (the line has a "memory" effect), which greatly interfere with the play of the spinner and can lead to the formation of knots.
Based on the foregoing, when catching not very large fish, it is probably not worth putting a multiplier reel on a winter fishing rod. There are many videos on the Internet showing how ice fishing in winter abroad, for example, in Sweden or Norway. There, anglers often use rods equipped with both multiplier and spinning reels. But you should pay attention that they fish there at very great depths and hunt for very big fish . Therefore, the use of such coils becomes more justified. A large length of fishing line is wound on a reel so that it does not get tangled on ice. On our freshwater reservoirs with medium depths, you can completely do without this, choosing a fishing line with your hands. This is both faster and allows you to better feel the jerks of the fish when playing and respond to them accordingly.

The multiplier reel Lucky John Maiko (hereinafter referred to as the reel) is designed to equip winter rods for sheer fishing from ice with artificial lures. The reel allows you to fish from the depth using only a fishing rod and a reel, as when fishing with a spinning rod - there is no need to drag the fish with your hands by the line.

The spools are open, allowing you to visually control the winding of the fishing line. The coil is assembled under the left hand. The extended reel leg allows you to fish with gloves on. The case and the spool are made of frost-resistant impact-resistant plastic. The coil is produced in two sizes.
