Making and fishing in the winter on the yoke of bream, carp and other peaceful fish

Winter fishing usually brings small fish to fishermen, but there are exceptions to this rule – this is the capture of trophy bream. If you get to the “fishy” place, you can get copies of up to 3 kg. But sometimes you can’t
catch bream and other peaceful fish with a classic jig. In this case, the fishermen use a variety of gear and techniques. A simple, but quite effective method of fishing is considered to be a rocker (“mustache”) for winter fishing.

A rocker tackle is a double or triple leash that slides over the base in the form of a tube or wire and is primarily intended for catching bream, although it is also used for catching other peaceful fish.

You can fish throughout the winter, starting from the first ice. Tackle is recommended for zone fishing, although running fishing also allows you to use rig. The yoke is equipped with nod and float rods, the installation of the tackle is not difficult.

What can be caught on the “mustache”

Fishing with a rocker in winter has one important advantage – there are 2 hooks on the tackle, that is, you can attach several different baits. Fishermen know how difficult it is to choose the right attachment for fishing in an unfamiliar body of water. The rocker arm makes it possible to significantly increase the chances of good biting. Bream, bastard, carp, roach, crucian carp bite perfectly on the tackle. Due to the special design, the fish does not feel the tension of the line when it swallows the bait, so the hook goes as deep as possible and reliably detects the fish.

The main elements of the equipment

The rocker tackle design consists of the following elements:

• two shoulders with rings at the ends 3-5 cm long;
• suspension – a ring 3-6 mm in size, located between two shoulders;
• weight – “olive” installed from the bottom of the suspension weighing 3-15 g;
• two leashes measuring 3-6 cm from a fishing line with a diameter of 0.11-0.15 mm or a winter cord with a section of 0.04 mm;
• hooks No. 12-16 on leashes.

To prevent twisting of the fishing line, a small swivel with a carabiner is attached to the suspension. The rocker arm is fixed on the main line with a diameter of 0.12-0.22 mm. It is wound on a reel. A float or nod is used as a bite alarm.

Rocker Tackle

The main task is to correctly complete the equipment. Tackle elements that are used when fishing with a rocker:

1. Short winter fishing rod with handle, whip, nod and stand . Most often, rods like “balalaika” and “filly” are chosen. Nod – lavsan, which is not afraid of low temperatures and the most sensitive, unlike other products.
2. Monofilament fishing line with a cross section of 0.12-0.22 mm . Some people recommend installing a cord, but in the cold it quickly “dubs” and freezes over.
3. Lead olives or strips are selected by weight based on current and depth.

Recommendation: When installing the rocker arm to the main line, it is best to use a “palomar” knot.

Variations on the theme of the winter rocker arm

Triple rocker helicopter

You can find a version of the equipment in which the rocker arm consists of three arms. This option is not the most popular, due to the fact that it is cumbersome and makes fishing too difficult in practice.

With a retractable lead for summer fishing

If they talk about a yoke with a diverter leash, then they mean Moscow rigging. For mounting, a triple swivel is attached to the tip of the mono line, and a fishing line is fixed from below, about 30 cm longer. Cheburashkas or other spinning weights weighing 20-35 g are used as weights. A line about 1 m long is attached to the middle part of the swivel. At the end of the swivel there is a line # 12-16.

The elements of the rig and the subtleties of installation are highly dependent on the fishing conditions. You can read more about how the tackle is mounted with a diverter leash in the article on
summer perch fishing with Moscow rigs .

Feeder mounting Paternoster

The first loop is tied to the end of the main line where the bait is. The second fits about 1 meter higher. The main advantage of this tackle is the speed and ease of installation, which makes it possible to build the rig directly on the pond. https://youtu.be/4AkDSf8r1IY

Installation of tangle-free tackle

In this case, a triple swivel is not required; instead, the rocker is installed on the bream. It is attached to the middle eyelet on the main line. A weight is attached to one shoulder with a clasp. On the second – a leash with a nozzle. This option is convenient to use because it is almost not confusing and can be used when fishing from the bottom.

How to make a do-it-yourself rocker tackle: instructions and video tips

Before making a rocker for fishing, you need to understand the main task of this tackle, namely, the distribution of leashes on both sides of the rig. This is the simplest tackle, therefore it is impractical to acquire it. As for the manufacture of the rocker arm, there should be no difficulties with this either.

Insulation option

It is very easy to make a winter rocker from insulation. Step-by-step instruction:

1. For installation, you need a piece of wire insulation with a cross section of 15 cm.
2. A mono line is threaded through the hole, where hooks are knitted on leashes (4-6 cm) from both sides.
3. The tube is clamped with a lead strip, which is a shipment.
4. Then the tackle is fixed to the main line with a carabiner.

Wire-based

How to make a mustache out of wire, step by step instructions:

1. A piece of thin and stiff wire with a cross section of 1-2 mm will be needed. For installation, you can use a template.
2. To make a template, you need a piece of board, on which 3 points of future bends are applied with a marker. Then nails 2-4 mm thick are driven into this place.
3. The next stage is the creation of gear according to the template. The hinges are folded over the nails. Then the tackle is removed and given the required shape.
4. After you need to equip. Through 3 loops, thread the monofilament so that the extreme fishing line protrudes about 5-6 cm, where the hooks are knitted. Moreover, the line must pass freely through the loops.

Before tying the rocker arm to the main line for the middle loop, you need to pick up the sinkers for shipment, they are attached to the top of the rig. Manufacturing and shipment of a rocker for ice fishing: https://youtu.be/80ZQB_thzkE

How to make a rocker from a leash

This requires a main weight with an eyelet for fixing and a longitudinal hole. Leading material is used as the shoulder of the rocker, where cambric is installed at the ends. Manufacturing process:

1. A cambric is installed in the hole of the weight and fixed with superglue.
2. A fishing line and a kevlar leash are threaded through the cambric.
3. At the ends, cambric is also put on, which must be securely on the leash.
4. We put the line in cambric and install the stoppers.
5. We attach the hooks.

The tackle is suspended from the main line with a ring on a weight.

Sliding leashes

We make the equipment according to the template. The leashes should fit easily through the 3 rings. Then they are looped into a loop attached with a swivel and main line. The length of the leashes should be limited by the stoppers (otherwise the rocker arm will slide onto the hooks). A stopper is also installed in front of the swivel. When making a rocker arm, it is required to process all the metal parts through which the fishing line is passed.

Baits and baits

In winter fishing for bream and other peaceful fish on the rocker, it is allowed to use both plant and animal baits. Among the latter, bloodworms are usually chosen. In addition to him, fish also bite on:

• moth and caddis larva;
• maggot;
• worm.

From plant nozzles used:

• semolina;
• Hercules;
• pearl barley;
• pasta.

For the best effect, the bait is flavored with anise or vanilla spray.

Fishing for bream on a rocker: search and technique

In order for the rocker arm to work effectively (as, indeed, any other equipment), you need to choose the right place for fishing depending on the conditions, periods of winter and other factors:

1. With the establishment of the first strong ice, the fish is at a depth of 3-5 meters. To find a bream site, you need to make several holes. It is recommended to do them on the edges, depths, pits.
2. With the onset of severe frosts, the fish goes to a depth of 7-12 meters.
3. After the beginning of freeze-up, there is not enough oxygen in the water for the fish, so it tries to find the appropriate places. These are underground springs, areas into which small non-freezing rivers flow.
4. At night, bream often bites at a depth of 2-4 meters.

Lure

Feeding for catching bream with “mustaches” can be prepared at home, for this there are several ways:

1. The cooked peas are passed through a meat grinder and mixed with ground breadcrumbs.
2. Groundbait from rusks (0.6 kg), millet (0.5 kg), ground seeds (0.2 kg), oatmeal (0.3 kg) is universal. You can also add 0.5 tsp to it. vanilla, and before plunging into the hole of the bloodworm.
3. The simplest recipe is mixing bread crumbs (0.5 kg) and semolina (0.3 kg). This mixture is already ready to use.

Fishing tactics

Fishing takes place according to the following scheme:

1. Having picked up a place for fishing, you need to make 5-10 holes in a checkerboard pattern, where the top dressing is dropped.
2. After half an hour, you can start fishing, starting from the first well-rested hole.
3. A bunch of bloodworms are used as bait. It is recommended to crush one larva, so the smell will lure the bream faster.
4. When biting, the fish raises the shoulder of the rocker, as a result of which the float rises. It is at this time that it is worth doing a sweep.

Attention: If you need to sit on one hole for a long time, it is recommended to have a tent with you, it can protect you from frost and other troubles.

Roach fishing

The same rocker arm used for bream fishing is also used for roach. In this case, on the bend, the length of the leash is made so that the hook does not catch on the main line when the rig is lowered to the bottom. The roach hook requires a small one, this fish has a small mouth, as a rule, use number 12-18. A small float is also chosen, while it is selected so that the weight and hooks can confidently sink it to a certain depth. Also, the tackle is adjusted so that the float is in a slightly submerged state in the hole, otherwise it will freeze into the ice crust when frozen. In the role of bait for roach, a worm, maggot, bloodworm is used, but the latter is the most promising.

Fishing for carp

The rig is also used for carp fishing. To do this, choose a jigging rod with a nod, which is equipped with a heavy sinker fixed in the middle to the main line. A wire 12-15 cm in size runs across the weight. At the ends there are small leashes with hooks. This rig works effectively with any type of bottom sediment. The main line is constantly taut, and all the load from the weight falls on the nod. The carp calmly swallows the bait with a hook. All further actions can be clearly seen on the nod.

Secrets of the seasoned – how to increase the efficiency of winter fishing with a rocker

To constantly be with the catch, you need to follow a number of recommendations of experienced fishermen:

1. It is desirable to plant bloodworms in a bunch.
2. Groundbait on the current is delivered using a feeder directly on the rig, or by means of “dump trucks”, which are lowered into special holes that are located upstream. Feeder dump truck in the form of a pyramid [/ caption]
3. There is no need to fuss over the hole, otherwise the fish will get scared and leave. Silence in the fishing area increases the chances of catching large specimens.
4. Podleschiks usually bite first, then large fish come up.
5. Taking into account the finickyness of bream in the winter, there must be several options for bait in the arsenal.
6. When fishing at night, it makes sense to use hooks with phosphorus beads.
