Secrets of successful fishing, or How to tie leashes to the main line?

In both summer and winter fishing, when fishing gear is equipped, fishermen often use an additional leash. Leashes are usually made from a fishing line with a diameter corresponding to the main line, and are attached at different distances from the devil or the bottom mormyshka. Closing the tackle in the lower part can also come forward and sinker. Now consider how to tie leashes to the main line.

Why use an additional leash?

An additional leash is used to fix additional hooks or mormyshki on the main line. Thus, mormys and hooks can be several - that is why such tackle in many regions is called a "garland", and a tackle hung with mormyshkas is called a "locomotive". Typically, the standard leash, designed for ordinary particle fish, for example, a vobla, ram or rudd, has three hooks.

The main task of the fisherman when equipping the rig with a diversion lead is to tie it to the line with sufficient elasticity. That is, we knit the leashes to the main line so that the additional mormyshka or hook with the attachment does not hang too close and parallel to the main line. This is a prerequisite so that they are not confused with the fishing line when fishing and posting.

What is the best way to tie an optional leash?

So, on the main line one loop is made. A loop is inserted into the loop (its end), which then must be attached to the main line. After this, the end of the leash forms a half loop, parallel to the main line. The half looper should be located at the very bottom of the rig, facing the sinker or the bottom mormyshke. Now you need to make a few turns with a free end around the half loop and main line. The number of turns is determined by the diameter of the line. The free end is held in the half loop and everything is delayed. How to tie leashes to the main line with the correct ratio of speed and diameter? The average ratio can be as follows: the diameter of the main forest is 0.08 mm - 8 revolutions are made, and if 0.12 - 6 revolutions.

It turns out that leaving the node, the side leash to the main line will be parallel and will go up to the fishing rod. This position of the auxiliary line in the node and will give the leash elasticity regardless of the diameter of the forest. Of course, speech in this case is about the average length. Too long leashes can worsen the efficiency of tackle, and all its elements will be confused.

Length of leash

And now we will answer the question of how to tie leashes of the required length to the main line. Here it should be noted that the length determines the type of fish to which it is calculated. If you plan to fish a certain species, for example, carp or bream, then the length of the leash, as well as the size and number of hooks should be specified from the fishermen of a specific locality or dig in the literature. In our case, we should get a universal leash, which is suitable for catching several species of fish, so the length will be optimal - 20 - 25 cm.

Is it possible and how to tie the leash to leashes, which are already provided with hooks?

Of course, the traditional option, when the end of the leash is crocheted after fastening to the line. But you can do the opposite - first, prepare several leashes with ready mormyshkami or hooks, and then already weave them into the main line. This will simplify the adjustment of the length of the leash.

As a result, the leash with the hook should be perpendicular to the main line. In this case, its bending down when the bait is planted (mormysh or malinka) will be insignificant, and the bait hook will not get tangled with the fishing line. The game of bait when wiring all the gear in height should be richer and more interesting, which will positively affect the increase in the biting.

It is possible that the weight of the mormyshka will pull the line of the leash a little, but here the main thing is that neither the leash nor the mormish with it touch. In general, it is useful for winter fishing rods, if they are equipped with additional mormyshkami and leashes.
