casting network- First experience. How to choose not to be disappointed with fishing?

How often do we hear and see how the so-called casting networks soar up and, opening up in the air, fall with lightning speed into the water, then picking up everything that they managed to catch within the range of the parachute net. Not for nothing is it called a network - snack or with a parachute net. But the ease with which the casting net is thrown in Asia will not be so easy for a newcomer who decides to try himself as a Texas cowboy, briskly brandishing a cord, as if taming a wild mustang. Let's figure out what you need to know about the casting network and how to choose the right one.

Casting nets (parachute) are divided into Spanish and American. The Spanish type parachute net is a net that looks like a bag. It is equipped with weights along the lower cut (around the circumference of the fishing tackle), and on top - a cord with a carabiner and a cuff for ease of casting. The fishing bag net has sides, small protruding double edges that rise with the net when it is removed from the water to ensure the safety of the catch. For a beginner, working with a Spanish casting net will be much easier and more convenient, because a Spanish casting net flies through the air on its own, it does not need to provide full disclosure by sorting out lines, that is, pull-up lines, as in the American type of casting net. Working with a Spaniard is easier and more enjoyable, you can get real pleasure from fishing, especially casting a parachute net far from the coast. Lead weights quickly sink the net to the bottom, and you just have to pull the fishing tackle by the rope that is attached to your arm with a cuff. Throwing the Spanish flute is best done "from oneself and up", so it is better to practice this movement with your hand in advance.

American type casting network it is better to choose with a small clamping ring. By choosing this net, you will actually buy a Spanish net, but at the same time it will have slings that will allow you to tighten the bag of the cap net into even pockets and raise it without losing your catch. In contrast to the casting net of the Spanish type, which often turns over and loses a particularly large and heavy catch when the net is skewed and the center of gravity is transferred to the edges of the sides when raised.

The casting net of the American type is always equipped with thick lines-slings that penetrate the diameter of the net and freely collect the net from weights to the cord into small uniform bags that are tightened simultaneously when lifting the tackle with the catch. The disadvantage of such a net is the inevitable process of entanglement of the lines with each other or with lead weights of the lower cut of the net. If the latter can be avoided - now there are a huge number of models of capes sold with sewn lead weights to reduce hooks, then it is impossible to avoid twisting the mesh with lines, unless you have experience.

Casting Network American is a more effective fishing tackle - its catch is always higher and better, but it is more difficult to throw it. Recently, casting Americans with a small ring and weights closed in the cord have been invented. Perhaps today it is the most acceptable net for a beginner, it also provides the closing of the entire circumference of the net into bags with slings, and is easily tightened with slings to the clamping ring.

The nets of parachutes with traditional lightweight metal rings with a diameter of 30 and 40 cm, which are used by the inhabitants of Southeast Asia themselves, are easier to open, they guarantee the full opening of the net in the air and uniform simultaneous immersion of the gear over the entire area covered by the net. But in order to start working with a mesh with a ring, you should learn how to unwind it. You need to unwind the casting network of an American from yourself, having previously sorted it out on slings and distributed it evenly on the ground. Then the mesh is drawn into the hand and unwinds like a throwing disc, throwing it as far and evenly as possible into the water. But not everything is as sad as it seems, because we want to enjoy the process of fishing with a net, and we will do it!

Recently, American-style casting nets with a large Frisbee ring have gone on sale. This is a plastic ring that has the shape of a circle with parallel arcuate stripes that converge to the center of the lower Frisbee ring. These arcs allow you to pick up and catch air currents in the process of casting fishing tackle as if you were throwing an ordinary flying saucer to a dog. It is not for nothing that these networks quickly got the name " Flying saucer". These models have 3 rings: a large one for casting and directing the airflow during flight, a middle one for lines and collecting them, and the last - the smallest one - is a pressure ring with which you press the pre-expanded net with lines to the bottom ring of the frisbee and with the help of a cord with a cuff, put on your hand, you throw the net away from you into the water without unwinding the body, as in all other models of American casting nets. Casting net "Flying saucer" is convenient to cast from a boat, from the shore, from the pier .

Don't think that a larger net diameter will give you more fun and a bigger catch. No, on the contrary, nets with a large diameter, that is, more than 3 meters of opening are harder to cast, and they have a higher percentage of non-opening of the full parachute of the net. If the parachute of the net does not open, there will be no catch.

The question is often asked: what is the best network to choose from? From fishing line or from kapron?

From fishing line - the casting net is lighter, easier to cast and does not require drying after use. But the fishing line mesh is less durable, especially at the knots, and breaks faster.

The mesh made of kapron is more durable, can withstand a larger catch, it is recommended even for sea fishing with sea water, but when wet it becomes heavier and you do not leave it for a long time. After use, it is necessary to dry the network.

The choice is yours, the main thing is the pleasure of fishing, which you will undoubtedly experience when using a casting net. We wish you success!

Casting nets, capes, parachutes, baits, capes — many names, but the essence is one

Yes, it's not easy to find a more gambling tackle than a casting network. As soon as you take it in your hands, you immediately imagine the wild nature, where everything depends only on you!

Why is it all? In addition, your advantage is stealth, surprise and clarity of casting.

Casting nets are intended mainly for catching fish accumulations (by the way, they also rake out cancer very well). The easiest and most effective way to find a cluster of fish is to lure a place, or even better a few. Everyone will be fed, both you and the fish! How to catch, of course - lure and throw! Fast and beautiful!

American orSpanish type?

AT american type the pocket is created by fishing line slings. After getting out of the water, the sling and tackle are aligned, the entire catch is quickly shaken out along with the garbage, etc.
AT Spanish type pockets were made already initially (constructively) and after pulling the tackle ashore, you need to take out both the fish and the garbage manually - this is not convenient, and it really gets on your nerves!

In short, it's definitely American!

Now about the material - polyamide thread (ordinary nylon thread - like on delusions) or monofilament (ordinary fishing line, like on all fishing rods). What to choose?

The polyamide thread is stronger, more durable and the network from it is more maintainable.
A fishing line casting net will be easier to work (does not get wet), and a little more catchy - thinner, less windage, so it sinks faster. Short and, I think, clear.

Let's not talk about flooded anchors. Just dive there. But there is no need to be especially afraid of stones and snags.
When hooking, you need to reach out with your hand (you can use a hook, a branch) to the small upper white sleeve and pull it - the fishing lines will stretch out, there will be no pocket and the tackle will be released.

Of course, you will lose the catch, but the tackle is intact. If this does not help, it means that the tackle is caught on a fishing line, it does not matter either. Do not pull or tear, but pull the rope and wait until the knot of the stretched sling slowly but surely unties (it is so conceived) and the tackle is released. At the same time, you can walk to the left - to the right while holding the cord at a stretch. Then, on the shore, turn the tackle with the lines up, find the place of the untied line and tie it again.

Casting net with small ring is new for 2016 season

A loop net with a ring greatly simplifies the casting technique, while the tackle falls into the water in the right circle. You only need to set the initial rotation when casting. To do this, it is necessary to raise the net above the ground by an arm extended upwards and to the side at 45 degrees, stand at the water with a turn angle of at least 270 degrees and, turning around, throw the tackle into the water.
A fisherman (woman, child) with a height of 1m 45 cm will be able to cast tackle with a radius of up to 1.5m.
Tackle with a radius of 1.8 m can be thrown by a fisherman with a height of more than 1 m 70 cm.

Casting net with a large ring - the top of the perfection of the cape

In order to freely fish with casting gear with a radius of 2m or more, a height of more than 1m 80cm is required.
The big ring works on a completely different principle than the small one and allows you to cast a casting net with a radius of 2.7m even while sitting in a rubber boat, which gives the fisherman a whole new field of activity. The benefits are undeniable. The height of the fisherman here no longer matters, and casting is as easy as shelling pears!

Sitting, standing, lying and kneeling!
Everything written is an easy introduction to the gambling world of catching with a casting net. Ask questions and we will try to answer all.

The principle of operation of the casting net, which is also called a cape, bait or parachute, is simple. Such a fishing gear is wound around the hand, and then thrown to the selected point. Then the net evenly descends to the bottom, and then rises to the surface. All fish that were in the coverage area of the cape at the time of casting becomes the prey of the angler.

If you watch an experienced fisherman, it seems that there is nothing complicated in casting such a fishing gear. In fact, it can take weeks or months to master the casting network. It is not for nothing that the Japanese treat the casting technique as an art and arrange special competitions for the masters of this business.

At the same time, there is nothing super complicated in handling such a net, and if desired, anyone can learn how to fish with this tool in a very short time. There is two types of casting networks- Spaniards and Americans. They differ both in design and casting technique.

American type nets with ring

American networks are equipped with rings of various diameters. Unlike Spanish women, the main cord for such models is attached not to the central part of the grid, but to the veins, so the technique for working with them is significantly different. Their advantage is ease of casting- the angler just needs to take and throw the net to the desired point. Also, American-style models provide more impressive catches than Spanish ones.

During the pulling out of the net, the load is pulled to its center, while the whole structure is assembled into a single whole - into a kind of net with a closed exit.

With big ring

American nets with a large ring with a diameter of half a meter (frisbee) can be easily thrown from a boat by throwing away from oneself, while the parachute fully opens and completely sinks to the bottom. Models of this type are equipped three rows of rings.

To cast such a network, you must:

spread it on the ground;
release the middle ring, after which the large ring falls to the lower cord, and the third ring presses the net;
put a cuff on your wrist;
unwind the cord and send the net into the water in a motion similar to launching a flying saucer-frisbee.

No special dexterity, no turning of the body at the time of the throw is required. American Big Ring Network guaranteed to open in the air, while entanglement of the lines during the casting process is excluded.

After each cast, the net must be cleared of branches and grass, this rule should not be forgotten even in the heat of gambling fishing. Such careful attention to the process of catching will minimize the likelihood of unpleasant incidents when the net does not unfold as it should, and the throw is unsuccessful, and all potential prey is scared away in vain.

With small ring

The American casting network with a small ring resembles a Spanish woman. It is well suited for fishing in strong wind conditions, including at sea, when its gusts make it difficult to cast the Frisbee net. A small ring presses the bag against the cord during pulling.

It must be borne in mind that the possibility of fishing with a net with a small ring of one or another diameter depends on the height of the fisherman:

with a height of 1 m 45 cm, you can throw a net with a diameter of up to 3 m;
height 1 m 70 cm allows you to throw nets with a diameter of 3.5 m;
with a height of 1 m 80 cm and above, you can fish with four-meter nets.

In this, nets of this type differ from American nets, when fishing with which the diameter of the net used does not depend on height.

Spaniard casting technique

Nets of this type are more difficult to cast, however, their important advantage is less chance of snags in areas with complex bottom relief.

When pulling a Spanish-type net, the loads converge towards the center of the circle due to their own gravity. To drop it, you need:

collect the main (traction) cord in the left hand with rings, check if there are any loops on it;
take the network by the central part, shake, stretching and straightening it;
grab the top of the net with your right hand - about a third of its length - and collect in your left hand in one or two loops;
take the cargo cord with your right and left hands at two points, spread your arms wide, stretching the net as much as possible;
turn the body 180 degrees, and then straighten it, in parallel throwing the net in an arc into the water.

So that the entire traction cord does not fly into the water after the throw, the loop at its end must either be fixed on the left hand or attached to the belt. The second option is more reliable and completely eliminates the risk of losing gear.

Before going out with a net to a pond, it is better practice on dry land, choosing a plot free from thickets of grass and shrubs. At the same time, you can master the technique of folding the net before casting, as well as the throw itself.

Shore fishing

When fishing with a casting net from the shore, in most situations you should not count on good catches of large fish, because it is far from possible to cast this tackle. But in this way you can successfully catch small fish that are suitable for use as live bait.

boat fishing technique

From the boat by the casting net much easier to catch than from the coast. At the same time, it is possible to check any promising points that you wish. Casting from a boat is quite simple, it does not require much effort. American nets can be cast even from a sitting position, which makes fishing. With the Spaniards, this will not work - you will have to get up before each throw.

Catching on the casting net

Casting Net Tactics

To always stay with a good catch, it is not enough to master the casting technique. The nuances of fishing with a casting net are no less than with a float rod or a donkey. For such fishing, areas of reservoirs with an open bottom, free from vegetation and snags, are suitable. It is inconvenient to use the casting net at great depths and fast currents, and it is better to avoid such points.

It is not easy to achieve a good catch with this tackle - only a person who is far from fishing can think that it is enough to throw it into a river or lake to get a good trophy, or even several. In fact, the chances of finding good fish in a netted area are slim.

The cape allows you to quickly and easily catch fry for use as live bait. A net with a fine mesh, cast in places where small fish accumulate, will bring good catches with each throw.

To get a more solid trophy, you need to comb the points where large fish can hold with a cape. Since fishing with a casting net among snags is impossible, it is necessary to check areas with uneven bottoms - pits and edges.

Bait fishing

Good results when fishing with a cape can be achieved with the help of bait. You can select several suitable areas on the pond and throw fish treats into them, and then periodically check them with a net, each time adding a fresh portion of food after that. This tactic increases the chances of success by several times, because it eliminates the need to throw the net blindly, at a point chosen at random.

But there is one difficulty - a very accurate throw is needed, because a net with a diameter of several meters must accurately cover the baited area. In order for the snack to hit the target exactly, you can mark baited points small buoys, which will be the reference points when casting. Without them, the chances of putting tackle on a small baited table are slim.

For beginners, the rules for dealing with the casting network often seem complicated, but, as in any business, skill is gained with practice. Many refer to fishing with a net with disdain, but fishing with a cape can hardly be called unsportsmanlike. It involves an active search for fish and requires a lot of physical activity, and it is not easy to achieve a good catch on it, but it is always possible.

Casting, or, as it is also called, a cap net, is considered one of the most effective gear for fishing. With just one stroke, the net is lowered into the water, covering a certain area. In a few minutes you can already be with the catch.

If you look from the outside, the casting process does not pose any difficulties, but in fact, in order to properly cast the tackle, you need to practice a lot. To use the casting network, first of all, you need to take an interest in the technique of casting, otherwise it will not be possible to do it correctly. To master the technique to perfection, you need to use tackle regularly. Moreover, this rule applies to the use of any gear, even an ordinary float fishing rod.

The casting net is made of a net cloth, in the form of a circle. A strong cord with sinkers is fixed along the edges of this canvas. In order for the net to be able to straighten out during the flight, a strong braided cord with a diameter of about 5 mm is attached to its middle. To make it more convenient to throw, use gear of optimal sizes. As a rule, large networks are started when there is already serious experience.

In the place where it is supposed to fish, the depth of the reservoir must be known, since the length of the line is limited. In addition, it is necessary to calculate what area can be caught and what kind of fish you plan to catch. Based on these calculations, a network is made with the required cell sizes.

The casting net shows good results when catching carp, especially in the dark. During this period, the carp moves to the shallows in search of food. It is advisable to take a flashlight with you so as not to fish blindly. The flashlight must be powerful enough to pierce the water column with its beam. It will be needed in order to locate the fish. In addition, the light always attracts fish. In fact, there is nothing complicated in the process of fishing. To do this, you need to collect the entire network in your hand, and throw it in a certain way. The network opens up in flight and covers a certain part of the water area where the prey is located. When it has already sunk to the bottom, the angler pulls on the line, which causes the net to shrink. Thus, the prey is trapped. When casting a casting net, it is necessary to accurately calculate the direction and strength of the throw, otherwise the net will not have time to open up in time.

Not everywhere, not in all regions, fishing on a casting net is considered poaching. In some regions, fishing on this tackle is allowed if the net diameter is not more than 2 meters. Therefore, before proceeding with the use of a casting net, it is necessary to clarify with the fishing authorities whether such gear can be used and, if so, under what conditions. It is possible that you will have to pay for a license in the fishery and please use it to your heart's content. Fishing with a casting net is quite a gambling activity, which can be more classified as a hobby or sport fishing. Unfortunately, you have to pay for such pleasure. Such a net can be caught on paid ponds, provided that the caught fish will be released back into the reservoir. Only, it's hard to imagine a fisherman with a casting net on a paid reservoir. The fact is that few of the owners of paid ponds represent the process of such fishing.

How to properly cast a casting net

Before you go fishing, it is better to practice the correct casting of tackle at home, in the yard or on the pavement in front of a high-rise building. When the net is cast, it must be clear of mud, algae, old leaves or small branches, otherwise they will interfere with the correct casting of the tackle. So, in order to properly cast the casting network, you must sequentially perform the following steps:

The main cord must be assembled with rings in one hand, preferably in the left, although it is convenient for anyone. With the other hand, the net is lifted and shaken so that it unfolds.
In this case, you need to make sure that there are no loops, and the tackle itself is not twisted.
After it is found that there are no loops, the net is collected in rings in the same hand as the cord. The weight cord is unfolded to the maximum and is taken at two points.
The net is ready to be thrown. It is thrown with one movement of the left hand or swayed from side to side, and only then it is thrown.
When throwing, the body must be rotated 180 degrees. This will increase the power of the throw.
The net must be directed along such a trajectory so that it can open up before reaching the surface of the water.
The stronger the throw, the more likely it is that the net will open in time. If this does not happen, then this is evidence that the training was carried out too little.
Before throwing, the loop can be fastened to the belt so that the net does not slip out of the hand. This happens due to the fact that the hands are wet, which means slippery.

Each angler who has such tackle is fluent in the technique of casting a casting net. In details, the technique may not differ significantly, but the whole principle of using such gear is almost the same.

First way

This method is suitable when the diameter of the tackle does not exceed 2 meters. At the same time, it can be thrown without collecting the top into loops.

Casting process:

Hands should be free and relaxed. First of all, you need to pick up the cargo cord.
What does not fit in the hand is collected in loops, several loops in each hand.
The mesh is wound up until its bottom is 40 cm above the ground.
After that, the net can be thrown in one, but precise movement. The throwing technique is roughly the same as throwing a sheet over a bed.
The technique, although simple, requires training, since a certain accuracy and throwing distance is required.

As mentioned above, each angler develops his own casting technique. The second method does not require that the traction cord be assembled in rings and wound around the hand. The cord can not be touched at all, leaving it on the ground. The main thing is that when casting, it unwinds correctly. If he catches on something, then the throw will not work.

This method is quite practical, as it saves a lot of precious time. Throws can be made 30 percent more, which means that you can catch a much larger area of \u200b\u200bthe reservoir by catching more fish.

Casting net with ring - casting technique

Such networks are called American networks and are considered more efficient than other types of networks. The highlight of this tackle is a special design that allows you to make more accurate casts and more reliable, guaranteeing success.

The process of throwing tackle with a ring:

The traction cord is collected in rings in the left hand, after which the net is shaken so that it straightens out.
The process must be monitored for loops formed both on the network and on the cord.
Using the right hand, the net is intercepted in the upper part at a distance of 1/3 of its length, after which it is collected in skeins in the left hand.
After that, the cargo cord is grabbed at the extreme points, and the network itself should be deployed as wide as possible.
When throwing, you should help the throw with the movement of the body, which should turn 180 degrees.
Just before the throw, the net can be swung, which will increase the range of the throw.
The tackle is directed along a gentle horizontal trajectory. As a result of this specific flight, the network is deployed almost near the water itself.
The greater the throw force, the more reliable the gear operation. Only a straightened net after falling into the water can guarantee a catch.

Spanish Casting Network: Casting Technique

The Spanish network has some differences related to the attachment of the traction cord. This cord is attached to the center of the tackle, but not to the veins, as in other types of nets. The Spanish casting net uses a thicker weight line that cuts less into the hands when the net is pulled out of the water. The length of the cord can reach 5 meters.

In appearance, the network is no different from the usual casting network and from the American one, but in the process of pulling it out, a slightly different technique is used. When an American is applied, the load is pulled to the center of the net, after which the net is closed. In this form, it looks more like a net, without an exit point.

The use of the Spanish flute is somewhat simpler, since the load itself moves to the center of the network under the force of gravity. As a result of this, the fish itself gets into those places where there are pockets for catching fish.

Casting net fishing is an interesting, exciting and gambling spectacle, more like some kind of sport where athletes compete for casting distance and accuracy. Despite this, this type of fishing can bring a significant catch if you learn how to cast this tackle correctly. Unfortunately, this does not mean that if the casting technique is mastered, then the catch is guaranteed. If you cast a net and do not know that there are no fish in this place, then such fishing will take a lot of precious time exclusively for useless casts. Modern fishing is characterized by the fact that you need to look for fish, otherwise you can be left without a catch. Nowadays, there are assistants to fishermen, in the form of echo sounders, which can determine promising places. This is the only way to expect success.

Casting nets, caps, parachutes, baits, capes - many names, but the essence is the same

Yes ... it's not easy to find a more gambling tackle. As soon as you take it in your hands, you immediately imagine the wild nature ..., crocodiles ...!
And it all depends on you, only you and ... the fish. The beauty…!

And the fish must be treated with special respect - it is far from stupider than a chicken. You can imagine this - you take nonsense and chase a flock of chickens, geese, etc. like a fool across the field. Catch up??? This is how the fish sees everything, hears everything, and it will be even faster.

But if you hide, for example, around the corner, fill the chickens with food, say three magic words (chick-chick-chick), a well-aimed throw ... that's when your whole flock is. Kissed each chicken and released. You can even take a picture.

Why is it all? And besides, I repeat, the fish are far from being stupid. Your advantage is stealth, surprise and clarity of casting.

Casting nets are intended mainly for catching fish aggregations. (By the way, and perfectly rake cancer). The easiest and most effective way to find a cluster of fish is to lure a place, or even better a few. Everyone will be full and you and the fish!

How to catch is clear - lure and cast quickly and beautifully!

Now - American type or Spanish type?

AT american type pocket create a fishing line sling. After getting out of the water, the sling and tackle are leveled, and the entire catch is quickly thrown out along with the garbage, etc.
AT the Spanish type pockets were made initially, (constructively) and after pulling the tackle ashore, you need to pick out the fish and garbage manually - it’s not at all convenient, and it really gets on your nerves!

In short, it's definitely American!

Now what material - polyamide thread (ordinary nylon thread - like on delusions) or monofilament (ordinary fishing line, like on all fishing rods). What to choose?

The polyamide thread is stronger, more durable and the network from it is more maintainable.

A fishing line casting net will be easier to work (does not get wet), and a little more catchy - thinner, less windage, so it sinks faster. Briefly and as I think it is clear!

Let's not talk about flooded anchors. Just dive there.

But there is no need to be especially afraid of stones and snags.

When hooking, you need to reach out with your hand (you can use a hook, a branch) to the small upper white sleeve and pull it - the fishing lines will stretch out, there will be no pocket and the tackle will be released.

Catch - of course, you will lose, but the tackle is intact. If this does not help, then the tackle is hooked on the fishing line, it doesn’t matter either. Don’t pull or tear, but pull the rope and wait until the knot of the stretched line slowly but surely unties (it is so conceived) and the tackle is released. At the same time, you can walk to the left - to the right while holding the cord at a stretch. Then, on the shore, turn the tackle with the lines up, find the place of the untied line and tie it again.

Casting net with small ring is new for 2015 season

A loop net with a ring greatly simplifies the casting technique, while the tackle falls into the water in the right circle. You only need to set the initial rotation when casting.

To do this, it is necessary to raise the net above the ground by an arm extended upwards and to the side at 45 degrees, stand at the water with a turn angle of at least 270 degrees and, turning around, throw the tackle into the water.

A fisherman (woman, child) with a height of 1m 45 cm will be able to cast tackle with a radius of up to 1.5m.

A radius of 1.8m can be cast by a fisherman with a height of more than 1m 70cm.

Casting net with a large ring - the top of the perfection of the cape

In order to freely fish with casting gear with a radius of 2m or more, a height of more than 1m 80cm is required.

The big ring works on a completely different principle than the small one and allows you to cast a casting net with a radius of 2.7m - even while sitting in a rubber boat, which gives the fisherman a whole new field of activity. The benefits are undeniable. The height of the fisherman here no longer matters, and casting is as easy as shelling pears!

Sitting, standing, lying and kneeling!
