In most cases, trophy fishing focuses on catching a specific species of fish. For example, carp fishing focuses on catching carp. But tours through the protected taiga areas of the Putorana Plateau allow you to catch a variety of species, including salmon, taimen, lenok, brown trout, and many others.
We've decided to dedicate this article to how to catch a large number of chub. We'll cover what's required, what baits, lures, and fishing tackle are essential for this type of fishing. We suggest you learn how to make your chub fishing trip more successful and productive.
What kind of tackle is used to catch this fish?
This fish can be found in large numbers in small rivers. Chub can be caught using a variety of fishing gear. These include the following species:
The donk is considered one of the most effective tackles for catching chub. Experienced anglers set them out at night and catch these fish in large numbers, especially at night.
· A feeder is also a bottom fishing rod and is also very effective. The only drawback of a feeder rod is that it makes a lot of noise when casting.
Spinning rods are ideal for catching chub in rivers with fast, turbulent currents. These fish congregate near structures in the water, such as hydroelectric power stations and dams, where both strong and weak currents are present. When targeting chub, an ultralight spinning rod equipped with thin but strong line is essential. The rod should also have a rigid action and a spinning reel.
The bombarda (sbirulino) is similar to the previous spinning rod, but with a unique rig. A silicone tube is attached to the leader, keeping the rod afloat and preventing it from sinking. The line with hooks and weights passes through it.
When fishing for chub , a float rod should be long and light. It's best to use transparent, water-fillable bite alarms. The rod should also have a leader of about a meter, but if the water has a strong current, it should be extended by an additional 20-30 centimeters.
A jig is perfect for catching this fish on cold winter days. Droplets, pellets, ants, and oatmeal are especially popular when fishing for chub. The key is to rig the jig with thin, strong line.
The "Korablik" is an original tackle capable of effectively hunting these species. Its advantage is that the tackle can be constructed directly on the water.
The list goes on, as this predatory yet timid fish can be caught with a variety of tackle. The key is to have the right equipment and know what baits and lures to use when fishing for chub.
What bait will you need for fishing?
Chub are predatory fish, so the best bait is, of course, live bait. Other types of live bait (bloodworms, beetles, grasshoppers, insects, etc.) can also be used. In addition to the baits described above, wobblers are also good. "Lucky" lures are excellent in the fall, and "Minnow" lures are excellent in the summer. In the spring, you can fish with a Jackall Chubby.
Final conclusions
Chub can be caught using a variety of fishing tackle. Just remember that this predator is very shy and cautious. It's best to fish with quieter lures, such as bottom fishing rods and boats.
Chub fishing is a very exciting activity, and many anglers enjoy it. Landing such a predator is challenging, meaning the excitement and thrill of the catch will literally be off the charts, bringing immense satisfaction to the angler upon landing the catch.
