LUCKY JOHN SPINNERS FOR TROUT ANGLING
The number of fee-based water bodies, where the angling of pond rainbow trout is allowed, grows each year. It is not a secret that the Area
Fishing – trout angling in artificial water bodies – is a rapidly developing issue. It is, probably, one of the most accessible variants of fishing,
with a spinning rod, for metropolitan citizens and people, the flying pace of life of which allows devoting just a mere couple of hours a week
to the beloved hobby. Being able to “hold” 1-kg or bigger trout on the lightweight spinning rod, many anglers forever become the fans of this
type of fishing. Keeping up with the time, a new series of micro spoon-baits has been introduced in the assortment of Lucky John lures for
angling pond and wild trout: AYU and IMA. The main component of any successful angling is the availability of appropriate tackles: UL-class
spinning rod (with the test of up to 5 g); thin braided wire, or even better – monofilament fishing line with the diameter of up to 0.18 mm; and
lightweight minimum-size spinning reel. AYU and IMA trout spinners are equipped with qualitative Japanese sports hooks. Do not be confused
that this a “single piece” with no groove on it, as it turns out it is completely unnecessary. In Japan, just as in many other countries, they have
been long prohibited. The number of escapes does not depend on its presence! All jerks of the fish are successfully damped by the spinning
rod; it is preferable for the rod to be of medium-action type and the fishing line, as it has already been mentioned, to be monofilament, particularly for the minimum-size lures. If the fish is played with such balanced tackle, the trout will not open its mouth due to excessive effort of
the angler, and the hook will not fall from its mouth, even if the fishing line is completely released. If the fish is played using aggressive and
rigid fast action type spinning rod with braided fishing line, somersaults and zooms of the resisting fish are unavoidable. As a result, unbending of the hook takes place and, naturally, the fish escapes. Try angling with a UL spinning rod and Lucky John trout lures. You are going to
like it! After all, these spinners are just as good for angling perch, red-eye, grayling, sabre-fish, asp, orfe, chub and other predatory fish, and
even peaceful fish. But that is a completely different story… Good luck!
SPOON-BAITS
LUCKY JOHN AYU
AYU spoon-baits are the most popular lures for trout angling, since
“finding a key” to angling of this fish is the easiest with these lures.
They have classic shape of a stretched drop, slightly bent profile of the
body and the centre of gravity shifted to the tail. Thanks to the shape of
the body, these spinners have good aerodynamic qualities and, hence,
greater casting range. These spinners can be casted further than analogous lures of the same weight. When angling trout with AYU spinners, it
is necessary to select appropriate weight of the lure, in order to ensure
the required casting length up to the feeding fish.
AYU spinners come in three sizes: 1.8, 2.4 and 3.5 g. The lures are highly
efficient when angling the fish in shallow water and mid-water. Once
the lure gets into the water, it creates an attractive splash for the trout.
The heaviest spinner might be dragged practically along the bottom at
slow reeling.
This spinner can be successfully used for different types of reeling:
steady, with slight twitching, “Stop&Go” or “Lift&Fall”. The type of reeling is to be selected depending on trout’s activity; however, the most
effective type in most of the cases is steady reeling. You can start winding the fishing line immediately after the spinner gets into the water or
a few seconds of its free dropping. In any case, partial braking of the
fishing line has to be done once the spinner falls into the water, in order to avoid sagging of the fishing line and lying of the hook on top of
lure’s body. Only under these conditions, in case of biting, will it be able
to strike the fish. AYU spinners are equipped with high-quality Japanese
sports hooks and qualitative accessories.
