For a helicopter

*You will live long, All!* Newspaper "FISHERMAN FISHERMAN" No. 6 __2002 A. GORYAYNOV. ON "HELICOPTER" I recently had the opportunity to observe interesting bream fishing on the Oka River. Almost opposite Serpukhov there is a bream pit, or rather a ditch, 8-9 m deep, which once resulted from the work of the dredge. When the bream begins to feed, it appears at the exit from the pit. This is where, most often, fishermen wait for him. The old-timers of these places catch it by "helicopter". What is he like? This is a piece of fishing line 10-15 m long, attached to reel The end of the line passes through the eye of a pyramid or diamond type sinker. with a through hole, weighing 30-40 g, and is fixed with a swivel. To the swivel a meter-long leash is attached, on which sequentially at intervals of 20 cm 3-4 hooks No. 5-6 are tied. The “helicopter” ends with an unusual design, according to shaped like a piece of miniature rails or a block glued together paper clips (Fig. 1). This design is made from tin (a tin can will do). A hole was drilled in one of the sides of the “helicopter”, strictly in the center; in the end of the leash passes through it and there it is fixed with a carabiner, which necessary so that the fishing line does not fray (Fig. 2). Since the current on the Oka is fast, this design allows the leash to be walked from side to side, which makes the nozzle more attractive, and alsodetects bream faster (Fig. 3). The main line is 0.25 mm. Leash - 0.18 mm. Nozzle - 2-3 large bloodworms. Since bream loves a voluminous bait, on the fore-end The hook is sometimes put on a piece of green cambric. The guard serves as a smooth a willow twig 50-60 cm long, at the end of which it is secured with a double loop a line stretched by a sinker lowered to the bottom. When bitten, the twig bends in hole. Bream often hook themselves on this tackle. For reel insurance pressed down by something heavy. Usually one angler has 5-6 "helicopters" and installs them at a distance of 10-15 meters from each other. With such supplies it is much easier to detect bream, and if a bite occurs, you can drill holes near the lucky “helicopter” and switch to fishing with regular floats fishing rods designed for fishing in strong currents. /That’s all, All, what follows is only the truth.../
