Swivel

Swivel is a small tool made of metal which has a shape like two rings are connected together, but both these rings can rotate freely together . Swivel fishing rods are usually used in the circuit for easy installation into a series string hook, swivel as well as a tool for balancing the rotating hook now , both when exposed to water currents as well as bait fish inedible and occurs back and forth . Use of swivel allows the strings do not roll up and tangled on fishing, because the swivel will rotate in accordance with the pull of the hook load .

Use of swivel is very handy if you use monofilament strings , considering the power of this string is less flexible . monofilament strings famous wrinkle when exposed to the pull, and finally strings easily become complicated if the rolled up inside the reel . Use of swivel will reduce the possibility of rolling strings - rolls and become tangled because this tool will always spin freely.


The types of ' Swivel '

There are four ( 4 ) type ' swivel ' market used by anglers where each type has its own characteristics .

a. Barrel swivel
This is the most popular type used by the angler. There are 2 ( two) types specifically for this type of swivel straight type ( "straight " ) and the type of " twisted eye " . Swivel this type may be found in the colors sparkle ( Chrome ) , brass ( brass ) or black . This species is a cheap , no matter how it 's not so appropriate if used to delay ( trolling ) or to compete with large , heavy fish . This is because it 's possible straight dipenjilidan ( binding ) due to pressure. " Barrel Swivel " for the purposes of fishing is very consistent basis , "bottom " or " casting " for a modest amount of fish .





b. Ball bearing swivel
This species is the most powerful and most consistent for the purposes of delay ( trolling ) and fishing are big and ferocious . Contained in two colors namely black and sparkle (chrome ) . They cost approximately 3-4 times the double of a kind ' barrel swivel ' . It has a swivel nut nut ( ball bearings ) in it and will spin well.









c. Chain swivel
This species is very suitable for trolling and have a series of ' barrels ' to determine bahawa he will spin when used .
Swivel this type may be found in the colors sparkle ( Chrome ) , brass ( brass ) or black . It is not very suitable for use in basic fishing by fishing line , because the possibility terserat him .






d.Three -way swivel
This species is done from the pan ( brass ) and has 3 ( three) conclusion that tied the ring at the same distance. Usefulness of this conclusion is to separate the bait from the stone ballast. ' Swivel from this type of extremely weak rotating once and selalunya tigak which resulted in the rope will be cumbersome . It is always used for fishing on the bottom .






Snap swivel
After understanding the usefulness of ' snap ' and ' swivel ' we should buy berasingan and menyambungnya follow its own flavor or we can buy it as one of the call " Snap Swivel "Whatever its usefulness is the same which connects the main rope at taliperambut or artificial bait and determine bahawa rope not kink or bersimpul during fishing.




swivel prices ranging from USD 0.03 to USD 1 depending bersar , type, and materials used.

Swivel is sold in several sizes to suit the needs of the angler , there are various kinds of swivel of the most common colors are silver color selected typical stainless steel. Use stainless steel rust bergunamencegah that appears, especially if you are using this rod series on fishing in the sea . We recommend that you use a small size , there is no fixed rule regarding the use of swivel , but you can use strings and adjusted with great strength of the target fish .

If you already have a swivel that has long been used you should frequently check the power swivel and check the connections , so free from rust . If there is rust on the swivel will certainly reduce the power swivel and allows tangling occurs on your strings . Good fishing

Fishing string / fishing line

For hobbies fishing or fishing in the Thousand Islands tour , one of the most vital tool is a fishing rod string . In order that does not end when we are struck by the fish bait , surely we must choose the right string and quality fishing .

String or Line itself , is a rope made of special material used for fishing . On Line inilag strings or hooks ( hooks ) , buoys ( floats ) , lead ( sinker ) and other accessories are placed .

There are two parts of the string that is the main line and hook line . The use of strings, we must also adjust with the goal or what we want to get when we are fishing, whether small fish or large fish . Of the types of fish are we going fishing this is the diameter of the strings, we adjust.
The first thing you need to know in choosing the string is the quality of materials such strings , each string has a particular characteristic . The better the quality of the strings that we use , it is definitely more expensive.

Strings are good to have a stable quality . Good strings are made from quality ingredients , using a good machine and with the process and quality control is good too. string referred to is stability if designed with a strict quality control , such as diameter , strength ( strength) , strength of tie strings ( knots strength) , the extension of the string at the time of withdrawal ( elongation ) , flexible power ( flexibility ) and frictional resistance ( Abrasion Resistance )

Fishing Types of Strings in the market there are two namely monofilament and Multifilament . Monofilament is a string with fibers ( filament ) , single base material made of nylon. While Multifilament Strings that are have a lot of fiber . This type of rough surface of the strings , not as smooth as strings of nylon material . Strings of this type of banyakdipakai angler fishing a hobby and is usually used for the race .

Apart from the Type, String Fishing is also distinguished from its characteristics . Here is a characteristic fishing Strings :

Strength ( strength) : How can the string can withstand the load. Strength test was conducted using a universal testing machine with a pull string 50 cm long with a pull speed of 200 mm in a minute , then the string is tested until the end to see the maximum strength .

Strings Tie Strength ( knots strength) : The Power tied the knot , where the strings would break up knotted . strength generally measured by the pons ( lbs ) or kilograms ( pounds ) . knot strength tests conducted with the test string with a knot strength in the middle of the string to be tested , until the strings break at the knot .

Extension of Strings On When Pulled ( elongation ) : Strings will have an extension / elongation at the time of pulling the load, until the maximum point of the string can not be stretched anymore . Tests carried out by pulling strings to the point of maximal strings would break .

Stringed Resistance ( Abrasion resistance ) : Strings that are not easily eroded / abrasion when hit by a rock, a guide on the rod string and place the string on the real road . Tests done by rubbing the strings until the end by using sandpaper round and counted the number of spins. More and more number of rounds , showing more resistance to friction strings .

Flexibility ( flexibility ) : Resistance strings when bent. Tests carried out by measuring the resistance at the bend strings . The bigger the string the more rigid resintensinya show .
III . Can be Measured Using the power of Strings :

Fishing strings , we can test in two ways . That is by using string and Manual Testing Equipment . Testing Instrument Strings in the form of a special machine to test strings. Accuracy testing using a tool , compared with manually, higher.

Measurements manually, we could do with wearing a pair of scales , then the string is pulled (the scales indicate a figure ) until the string is broken .

We can also distinguish rod from its packaging strings , ie strings and Strings Commercial Interests .

commercial strings , a string Packaging sold for the use of more economical and less attention to quality as compared with the string hobby. Normally use this string for a living / profit and is used for the purposes of fishermen making / mending nets .

commercial string is divided into two types namely the form of Strings Strings Wrap the roll without spool in a plastic packet with information on the strength ( lbs ) , diameter ( mm ) and length of string ( m ), while the string pack is a collection of strings Strings Pak packs , which are sold in the form with a heavy pack weighed 4.5 kg .

Strings Strings Hobbies is the marketing is directed to the person who has a hobby of fishing. This string is more priority on quality such as strength and diameter . This string is divided into two types namely the form of Strings Strings Rol Meter spool rolls , with information on the strength ( lbs ) , the diameter and length of the string and the form of Strings Strings Heavy Rolling rolls with spool and information power ( lbs ) , diameter, length strings.

Various types of strings have been described . Now to select the strings have tipsnya . First , when choosing a string we must know in advance the purpose , whether for commercial or hobby purposes . If for commercial purposes , then select the strings are not as complicated as choosing strings for a hobby.

In contrast to the hobby , many things must be considered in selecting , such as what to look for fish , the type of fishing ( troling , spinning and other cloth) for the race or not , strength ( power ) in units of lbs ( pounds) or kilograms ( kg ) and diameter . Good pick ! (Various sources / tommy Bernadus ) .

Barb

Barb is one tool for fishing the most popular and used for fishing.

Used as a hook to place the bait, which was originally made from bone or hard wood in the past.

In the present variety has been able to hook made from a variety of hard metals such as iron (which was given a chrome coating), steel or also with a mixture of other metal materials such as carbon material.

Fishhook having a variety of shapes and sizes (picture left). While for large size-small the hook usually distinguished by using numbers (picture below).

Fishing rods

A fishing pole is a tool used to catch fish, usually in conjunction with the hobby of fishing, can also be used in competition casting (sport). (Luck and income of fishermen usually involves fishing rod). A string / fishing line attached to the capstan, a long rod or at the end: one end of the ended in a hook to catch fish. Fishing pole 'is a simple pole or stick to suspend the line (usually tied to the end), with interesting curved or bait. The most common fishing rod made of fiberglass, carbon fiber or, classic, bamboo, and only the right lever fishing referred to as "polar". In contrast, 'fishing rod' casting refers to a more sophisticated tool is equipped with a guide rope / string and rolls for storage of rope / string length. Fishing rod has a variation in the action as well as long, and can be found in sizes between 24 inches and 20 feet. The longer the rod, the greater the mechanical advantage casting / throwing bait.

With the use of fishing gear fishing areas will be more widely targeted. Will also facilitate anglers fishing rod when he was "Fight" or control fish that have been hit by the eye line. The use of fishing gear, although not absolute, but will simplify the process of fishing itself.

This tool is the most important tool in the fishing, its function as an inducement to the pool thrower. Type of fishing gear used consists of two types, namely fishing rod and fishing rod antenna connection. Selection flexibility and kakuknya disesuakan rod with the desire of each fisherman, there is a good idea when we bought our fishing gear to try first which we think is good. Own fishing rod parts consist of:

Blank, this is the main part of elongated rod-shaped rod.

Reel seat, cradle kenur reel or capstan.

Butt, this part where the hand holding the fishing rod fishing rod, in this section there are reel seat, butt grip, and some fishing gear using butt dreadlocks (fighting butt).

Line Guide, this section to control the discharge kenur from the reel until it reaches the end of the rod, there are two main types of online guides and a guide ring mounted on a roller guide. Especially for the fishing rod Fly Fishing there is a related species called snake guides because its shape resembles a snake threaded.

Type rods

1. Surf Casting Rod
Fishing rod for fishing the reefs or the shore edge, this rod can reach 5 meters in length, has a strong reel holder and a large grip to be held by both hands when melempat bait. Usually it blank telescopic type. There are modern techniques in throwing the bait with this rod can reach distances up to hundreds of meters, for example Pendulum Cast.




2. Ice Fishing Rod
Fishing rod for fishing in lakes, ponds, or a frozen river by making a hole in the ice. Rod is short, only about 80-100cm only and use the spinning reel.
















3. Fly Fishing Rod
This rod is designed in such a way that can throw a special bait a relatively mild form of Flies in the distance. Length and small diameter blanks with a high flexibility, reel seat designed specifically for fly fishing reel. Rod usually has a large ring guide called Stripping Guide and several smaller ring guide called Snake Guide, placed along the rod blanks to control the fly line (specifically for fly fishing kenur) which is relatively thick in diameter. To avoid disruption in the throw (cast) usually does not have the rod butt section located behind the reel seat, or there is usually brief. But there are types that have a rod butt in the back of the reel seat and instead there is also equipped with dreadlocks butt, usually for saltwater fly fishing.





4. Trolling Rod
Trolling Rod specifically for fishing by trolling, which is dragging bait fishing with artificial or natural bait to use ships that run in a certain speed. These rods usually have a size of up to 5feet 7feet. There are two types of line guide for fishing rod trolling, light and medium trolling up to 50lbs typically use a ring guides, to heavy trolling 50lbs or more using a roller guide. All types of fishing gear trolling using Overhead Reel type (conventional reels), reel a position that is located on the upper side of a fishing pole. Trolling rod butt section on there two types, namely type Bent (curved) and straight (straight). Well-known brands for this type of fishing gear such as: Perm, Biscayne G-Loomis, American Tackle, Shakespeare, Shimano. A designer known for this type of fishing gear is Ian Miller from Australia.

5. Baitcasting Rod
Baitcasting Rod is a rod with Overhead Reel, usually used for casting bait in lokasi2 are difficult to reach with high accuracy. Characteristic of this type of fishing gear marked with the grip for the index finger is called Trigger Grip or Pistol Grip (resembles a trigger on the gun) in real seatnya, and guide ring for fishing rod of this type is usually much smaller in diameter than the ring guides on spinning rods. Famous brands usually release two models for the same type of fishing gear, ie a model spinning and baitcasting models.


6. Spinning Rod
Spinning Rod with Spinning Reel is a fishing rod, fishing rod is usually used for bait casting distance at the expense of less accuracy of pitch. Fishing rod with a spinning rod is the most common fishing gear used in Indonesia because of ease of use and affordability. Telescopic spinning rod can be shaped, a third section to section blank. Spinning rod guide ring has a relatively large especially in the first guide ring if calculated from the reel seat, the function of this ring a great guide is to minimize friction on the ring spinning kenur guide at the bait thrown. Spinning rod has a popular species among anglers as fishing gear commonly used in pond fishing, surf casting fishing rod, fishing rod popping, jigging and loading rod forth.

7. Rod popping
Rod is popping rod for fishing with popping method, namely throwing artificial baits of wood or plastic is called a Popper. Popping rod using a spinning reel as winding kenur. It has a long range fishing rod blanks ranging from 7 feet to 8.6 feet. Part of the fishing rod butt is very strong, his grip section uses EVA foam and equipped with dreadlocks butt, some types of fishing gear used reel seat with a safety lock. Rod popping contemporary use carbon composite materials for its blank, this material is strong and lightweight so that couples popping modern fishing gear can have a rating up to 100lbs, average nearly popping rod has a fast action tapper. Rating popping rod is usually described in units of PE, for example, PE5, PE6, PE8, PE10. PE is a unit of measure maximal load (breaking strain) on braided kenur, does it mean when a fishing rod popping has PE8 rating means maximum strength for the rod kenur is PE8. Ring popping guide for fishing rod average was wearing metal alloy or Silicon Carbide in anticipation of friction kenur braided with large load. The Japanese craftsmen known as popping a good fishing rod, many well-known brands come from there like Fisherman, Carpenter, and Sevenseas.

8. Jigging Rod
The Japanese are infatuated with a method called Jigging fishing, namely fishing using bait-shaped Metal Jig. This bait can be thrown and then pulled-pull, or it could also extend into the water up to a certain depth and then withdrawn interested in a particular rhythm (horizontally or vertically Jigging Jigging). Jigging rods require great strength because of feed costs could reach more than 500gr, all have fast action rod Jigging tapper. Jigging rod length varied from 5 feet to 7 feet. Like popping a fishing pole, fishing rod construction Jigging has a very strong but light, because the activities are very strenuous Jigging. Jigging rod rating is usually specified in units of PE, for example, PE5, PE6, PE8, PE10. PE is a unit of measure of the maximum load (breaking strain) on braided kenur, meaning that if a fishing rod has a rating Jigging kenur PE8 means maximum strength for the fishing rod is PE8. Jigging rod has two overhead and spinning models, some famous brand issued a similar type of fishing pole with overhead and spinning models. Although Jigging rod has a rating of up to 100lbs, fishing rod fixed overhead model uses a line guide ring, not a roller as in trolling fishing rod. Ring guide to using basic materials, or silicon carbide metal alloy to withstand the friction kenur braided. Like popping rod, many famous brands from Japan like the Fisherman, Carpenter, and Sevenseas.

9. Pool fishing rod
Power and Action of the fishing rod
Fishing rod divided by the Action class (resiliency traits got loads of time fishing rod) and Power (strength fishing rod).

- Slow Action
This type of highly flexible fishing rod lifting powernya very low, fishing rod tip can be curved to almost near the butt of the fishing rod, fishing rod is good for detecting small fish bites and use a small kenur. With this type of fishing gear, pressure from fish is more absorbed by the rod rather than by kenur because of the nature of the flexing. Fiberglass fishing rod with the basic material properties usually have a slow action.

- Fast Action
When the bent rod will very quickly return to its original position, ideal for throwing bait with high accuracy and to play an artificial bait, so good on water movement. Only fast-action fishing rod curved at the top of the rod only, usually starting from the upper half of the fishing rod. Rod-rod modern with this type are usually made from High Modulus Carbon Graphite Composite or so has the strength, sensitivity and extraordinary power.
Power ratings are used to determine the maximum load of feed and kenur class that can be handled by the fishing rod, this is more related to the size of the target fish to be lured

Buoys and weights

Buoy provocation , might be made of wood , foam , cork or plastic for use as a buoy in accordance with a lightweight and can float on water surface .
