Not every fishing enthusiast knows that under such a complex Italian name, sbirulino bombarda, there is hidden an ordinary lure sliding along the line of a spinning rod. The float's design features give it certain advantages for landing a large, bountiful catch, especially when visiting trophy fishing tours in the protected areas of the Putorana Plateau.
How a sliding float works.
A lightweight, sliding float for a spinning rod or fishing pole, made from several components. It attaches to the fishing line and consists of the following parts:
1. An elongated body located at the bottom of the structure;
2. A hollow tube that functions as an antenna;
3. Under the sbirulino there is a leash with a fastening that allows the float to move freely to a certain, limited place.
The layout of the bombarda's components allows for easy casting to a desired location in the water. It also allows for free control of the retrieve.
Types and differences of sbirulino.
1. Based on the available types and differences, the bombarda float is divided into various categories:
- Floating;
- Water-filled;
- Drowning;
- Slowly sinking.
Water-filled floats, known in Italy as "buldo," are considered less effective today. They are larger and heavier, making them more difficult to cast to the desired location. This drawback, coupled with the increased noise, can scare away fish.
It's well known that many of the Putorana's noble predators —taimen, lenok, char, and many others—are very shy and cunning, clearly concerned for their own safety. Therefore, extraneous noises are always a detriment when fishing.
2. Another difference in the sbirulino is the location of the weights:
- The classic first type involves placing the weight in the lower part of the tackle.
- The second type has the weight distributed according to the center of gravity.
- The third type of bombarda has a uniform distribution throughout the entire available volume.
- The fourth ones are located at the top of the rig.
Sometimes the float can have different types of weights, located at the bottom and top.
What kind of fish can be caught with a bombarda in the reserve?
A variety of fish can be caught using a sbirulino. This is especially true for predatory fish found in the Putorana Plateau's waters: pike, perch, lenok, char, grayling, taimen, and whitefish. Non-predatory river dwellers also enjoy the bombarda. However, these are caught using regular hooks baited with maggots, worms, and other lures rather than spinning lures.
What are the advantages of this tackle?
The bombarda sbirulino has a number of advantages, namely:
- Easy to cast over long distances;
- Use of lightweight types of bait;
- When wiring, you can independently regulate the speed and select the desired horizon;
- The universal design allows for the use of various options for catching different types of fish;
- The availability and unique simplicity of the tackle help when choosing rods and spinning rods of different lengths.
Fishing with a sbirulino is one option that allows anglers to maximize their catches and ensure a plentiful and varied catch. Therefore, many guests on trophy fishing tours on the Putorana Plateau often use this fishing tackle.
