The braid used for catfish fishing spinning is recommended with a tensile strength of 65/80lb. In the market there are many brands of braided with various diameters in relation to tensile strength, but over the years have proven that brands also always up to use over time are few. Staying on a mid-range, super filaments are tested and PowerPro Tuf Line XP . Very good, but higher-end and braid Varivas Avani specifically PE Premium la versione da 60 o 70lb. Il colore della treccia ai fini della pesca è indifferente e la scelta stà al gusto del pescatore, mentre una considerazione va fatta sui carichi di rottura. Il 65lb lo reputo la soluzione migliore perchè il minor diametro aiuta il lancio di esche medio piccole (diametri dichiarati PowerPro 0,41mm -> 65lb e 0,43mm -> 80lb mentre Tuf Line XP 0,41mm -> 65lb e 0,46mm -> 80lb), inoltre nel combattimento anche con pesci di grossa mole, se i nodi sono fatti bene (e in questa pesca devono esserlo), tutte le canne citate nel precedente articolo si romperebbero prima di arrivare alla trazione necessaria a rompere un trecciato of 65lb. Obviously, this wire in good condition, it is best to check the last few meters of wire after each caught and if you notice signs of wear eliminate the damaged section.
A major limitation of the braided and abrasion resistance, and if put in traction can "blow up" easily in contact with rocks or other obstacles. To try to avoid this problem is fundamental to create a terminal of at least 1.5 m by a doubling of the terminal or use of a braided Kevlar or nylon 150lb terminals for 0.80 mm.
We see that we have differences in construction and fishing in between the above mentioned methods:
- Doubling of braided:
is to build a terminal rounding the last few yards of braid through the Bimini Twist knot :
It 's a node rather complex and requires several meters for the construction of a braid and risk of find the reel discharge after a few dubbing, as well as a greater wear of the terminal being always made with the braid.
- End in Kevlar:
realize the terminal with the same Kevlar that is used in terminals for fishing with live models with choosing a tensile strength around 120/150lb. The coupling between braid and Kevlar can be run through the Uni to Uni knot , as it is not advisable to use a swivel to the need for terminals of at least 1.5 meters, and then bring the node into the ring during the launch and recovery of the artificial.
Very interesting is this variant of the previous node version specifically designed for joining wires of different diameters. The versatility of the Uni knot base allows for a weld in a position to hold at least ninety-five percent of the breaking strength of knotted yarn.
Un difetto di questi accoppiamenti è la dimensione del nodo che risulta troppo voluminoso e può scorrere male all'interno dell'apicale e i successivi anelli durante il recupero e il lancio degli artificiali.
Dall'altro capo legheremo il Kevlar al moschettone tramite il nodo Palomar :
Anche il Kevlar subisce un'usura con l'utilizzo ed è bene sostituire il terminale dopo 4/5 pesci o comunque al minimo segno di deterioramento. Inoltre, in caso di incaglio dell'esca sotto forte trazione salterà il nodo di congiunzione tra treccia e kevlar perdendo l'intero terminale.
- Terminal Nylon:
It 's the solution that I prefer a lower cost than nylon and Kevlar feature is highly resistant to abrasion with obstacles. We will use nylon for the terminals with a diameter around 0.80 mm (depending on type). The choice of model is important and the nylon are great ace in the specific models Triple Force 0.74 mm -> 92.3 lb and / or Double strength 0.80 mm -> 90lb. However, it is important that has not held a load of less than 80/90lb, according to the braid used to compensate for the loss of seal that has the nylon to the node. The
accoppiamentro between braid and nylon is made by using the node Tony Pena :
This node, with the diameters, has a low volume and flows quite well inside the rings is taking the braid during the launch. However
to compensate fully for this problem we perform pairing braided nylon with the knot FG more complicated in implementation compared to Tony Pena, but it is very fluid in the flow inside the rings of the barrel.
or node Franciscan (my favorite).
Another convenience of this solution is that, with the diameter braided nylon right, in the event of grounding the bait when we're going to pull to pull the node to jump hook by saving the terminal nylon coupled with the main line and we will be again redoing just the latest in fishing knot. In this way, starting from a terminal of about 2m, we're going to redo the entire terminal after so many substandard, safeguarding metri di treccia.
Con questo tipo di terminale, usando moschettoni a filo fine (come la maggior parte di quelli in commercio), è consigliato inserire un Solid Ring nella parte superiore del moschettone a cui legeremo il nylon per garantire una maggiore tenuta al nodo dato che il solid inserito ha un filo di diametro maggiore rispetto al diametro del filo del moschettone e quindi garantisce una più ampia superficie d'appoggio. Il Solid Rings deve essere scelto nella nella misura idonea che non sia troppo grande da influire sul movimento degli artificiali. Le caratteristiche strutturali del solid ci permettono di sfruttare anellini con carichi di tenuta non eccessivi e personalmente I have used the Stonfo Pro Jigging Solid Rings from 30kg.
has no benefit in this type of fishing, or rather more weight than a single moschettore can distort or even nullify, the movement of artificial small.
The type of bait for fishing for catfish is the largest ever ... Every man-made can be catching, but it is very important that the bait used is structurally robust.
In this fishery does not matter the color of the artificial, almost to the blindness of the fish, and seem to be more popular bait type jointed, undulating and shad or grub heads mounted on lead-lined. She also influence the presence in them of Rattlin that may be more or less depending on the spot priming and water conditions. A Rattlin too strong has never been particularly welcomed by torpedoes Florentines, and with standard conditions of water baits "silent" are preferred, but in conditions of full water with peat or with a strong correntoni baits Rattlin are moderated very priming.
Most of the artificial weakness as the market has the rings and keepers. It 'a good idea to replace these parts with more robust measures are appropriate for that type of artificial intelligence.
The Rings (Split Rings) that we shall have to replace a load of not less than the required 60-70lb, but especially not to increase the artificial and have a suitable diameter. Another important feature is to have no memory, or return to its original position after being opened and mounted on our artificial. To mount the rings is recommended to use special pliers that allow you to open even the most robust. In short we are looking for bolt rings that are as small as possible (except for the undulating in which we abound), to reduce the size and weight, but sturdy.
These features include the following models:
Halco Fish Rings:
Owner Hyper Wire:
Gamakatsu Hyper Split Ring:
#5 44kg
#6 60kg
#7 83kg
#8 116kg
Per le Ancorine la scelta ricade sulle Owner ST-66 , importate in Italia da Tubertini con il nome di ST-51 disponibili nelle misure (dalla più piccola) #4-#2-#1-#1/0-#2/0-#3/0-#4/0-#5/0.

alloys, the other end can snap the nylon through the node Palomar (not easy to close with these diameters), the Improved Clinch knot (run on a hook below)

To connect our baits we use Carabiners from 100lb able to sustain significant tensile and torsional stress generated during the fight. In addition, the model chosen should not be too heavy or bulky to not affect the movement of the artificial and is recommended for a hook-type Cross Lock Lock or cost. Excellent snap with these characteristics are Berkley Cross Lok 100lb or 150lb Rosco Coast Lock. The latter are my favorites because it structured with a thread diameter greater than Berkley allowing to link the terminal without the use of solid nylon ring. Use with swivel snap hooks
