About the benefits of galvanization... :)

*Hello, All!* With an _electric_ spinner. Yu. Borodulin, St. Petersburg (Rybolov No. 5 / 1995) Our small geological exploration team from Moscow, where I was enlisted as a collector during vacation, rafted on a small, but very the beautiful and fishy taiga river Sukhaya Tunguska. We had to go through it almost from source to mouth. The road from Moscow to the upper reaches of the Sukhoi Tunguska was not close, with many transfers, and in order to reduce the expeditionary load, I had to partially sacrifice food and relied on fish and forest products. Back in Turukhansk, while waiting for a helicopter, we found out from local fishermen that this in summer, due to the low level and unusually warm water in the rivers, fish are inactive and doesn't take the lure. This was a bad sign. We hoped that on average in the lower reaches, due to the many tributaries, the river will become fuller and the fish will get caught Indeed, going downstream of the river, we were convinced that the fish there were more, but she did not take our bait. One day we camped in a most beautiful place where the river cascaded down like a small waterfall. Here she did bend and was replete with many underwater and surface boulder stones. Its course it was fast. Great place for taimen! In the evening we finally saw and the taimen itself, its powerful splashes, jumps and vertical _candles_.In the morning, before sunrise, I took a spinning rod and walked out of the tent onto the shore, where the fish played yesterday. It was quiet, fog swirled over the river, towering all around majestic taiga without end and edge. The first timid rays touched the tops centuries-old trees, split into thin rays and were lost in the thick morning fog, making it slightly pinkish. The picture was mesmerizing. And in this In the silent, frightening silence, suddenly the first splash of taimen sounded like a shot. The river immediately came to life - here and there splashes and jumps of the mighty Siberian fish At first I stood spellbound, but soon the numbness passed and the excitement the hunter took over. This morning I prepared a _surprise_ for Siberian salmon and, as it turned out later, I was not mistaken. When preparing for the expedition, I studied fishing literature and drew attention to the description of the spinner with an original game on a fast current. I I made several of these spinners from different materials, alloys and coatings. I used these lures this morning. I attached one of them to a carbine. I made the first throw upstream in such a way that the spoon would make a turn near a boulder rising above the water in the middle of the river. Taimen noticed the bait and accompanied it almost to the shore, but did not take it. I did second cast - everything repeated. To an experienced spinning player, this phenomenon indicatesthat the spinner needs to be replaced with another one. I installed almost the same one, but made from a different material. Climbed a little upstream to the next one a boulder rising above the water. Another cast, but the taimen doesn’t take this one either. The morning dawn is ending, the sun is rising higher. My nerves are on edge. I put the spinners aside and hook on an artificial one, popular in Siberia. _mouse_... Cast, taimen instantly floats to the surface... and goes into depth. Several more casts in different places were unsuccessful. Apparently The locals are right when they warned that the fish are not taking lures this summer. I took off the _mouse_. My hands were shaking with excitement. Somehow I attached the next lure and sent her into a stormy stream. The bait began to play brightly in the sunlit water. Taimen immediately noticed her, gently and as if hesitantly took her. I started carefully rotate the spinning reel. It seemed that I was dragging not a fish, but a heavy log from the water. No resistance. And suddenly a swift throw to the side. The rod shook, vibrated, the reel screamed shrilly, there was almost no line left on it. I put the reel on the brake, the line stretched like a string. Taimen surfaced on the surface in the distance near a small boulder. He got tired and rested, then dived onto bottom, trying to hide behind a boulder. I tried to move him, hehe resisted, shook his head, tugging at the fishing line. Slowly he began to lead the taimen to shore. Here he is very close, his toothy mouth is already clearly visible, but seeing me, he sharply rushed to the side and, barely touching the surface with his belly, water, rushed to a small waterfall, breaking the white foam with his fiery tail. The next moment he spun like a top and suddenly, accelerating, high rose like a candle, and then, after making a few more jumps, lay down on the bottom. Spinning vibrated, threatening to break every minute, the reel squealed pitifully, the line hummed in tune with the roar of the river, I was feverish with excitement, and my heart was pounding from happiness. Finally, the taimen stopped resisting and I managed to bring it to the shore. Seeing me, he perked up again, spun around and jumped, trying to get further away. from the shore. This went on for some time until he was completely exhausted and obediently went to the shore. I managed to lead him onto a gently sloping pebble spit and take it ashore. To make sure whether the success was natural or just random, I cast and I pulled out a second taimen, but smaller. Another cast - and the third taimen becomes my prey. I'm pretty sure the reason for the success is the spinner, made of copper and plated on both sides with silver. Apparently she's in the water created a stronger electric field compared to the same spinners,made from other materials. To make sure your Conclusion, I took off the _lucky_ spoon and tied other spoons in turn. There were no bites. I again attached the _miracle lure_, and the fourth taimen jumped at my legs. Throughout the entire route, my companions and I tried many various spinners, but only one invariably brought success - with the greatest electric field Where there was probably taimen or lenok, almost every cast brought success... /That’s all, All, you can scroll further.../
