When visiting the Putorana Plateau's trophy fishing tours, you have the opportunity to catch a variety of noble predators, such as brown trout, taimen, and char, using a variety of lures and fishing tackle. Spinning enthusiasts will quickly understand what baitrunners are. However, for beginners, this word means nothing.
Baitrunner design
Let's be clear: baitrunners are an excellent addition to spinning reels. They are a built-in drag component of the reel that's easy to adjust. Experienced anglers will never refuse this device, as it helps them catch many more trophies.
The baitrunner can be installed in various positions and is quite easy to find on spinning reels. It's typically a lever on the back of the reel. This allows you to use it at any time, turning it on and off.
Why is it needed?
· Firstly, the device plays a special role in that it makes it easy to perform a spontaneous reset, as well as provide a rigid fixation for the cord.
Secondly, it allows you to adjust the reel when landing a stubborn predator. When a hooked fish becomes aggressive, the baitrunner slows its resistance, making you realize that the ultimate outcome is ultimately yours.
Thirdly, the device helps you determine the depth of water in unfamiliar waters without a fish finder. All you need is a marker float. These are the useful features of a baitrunner.
Operating principle.
When the device is turned on, it operates a spinning reel mechanism, disengaging the spool from the main mechanism. When casting, the line is completely free, making casting effortless. When a predatory fish bites, the baitrunner switches to its main mode. All these functions are performed automatically, significantly facilitating the work of spinning anglers.
It's worth noting that such devices are ideal for catching large specimens on trophy tours on the Putorana Plateau, as well as in any body of water inhabited by these huge, toothy monsters. The problem is that wary fish species don't attack as boldly as, for example, perch or pike, and sometimes you have to wait a long time for them to catch you.
Or, when visiting carp fishing spots, anglers have to fish with several rods at once, and if the reel is not equipped with a baitrunner, then a large fish can easily drag your rod down into the water.
Conclusion.
In conclusion, it's worth mentioning another useful feature of this device. The baitrunner helps cast, for example, bait to the desired location. This is essential when casting live bait or a spoon to a predator in the clear waters of the reserve.
These are the useful qualities and characteristics baitrunners are renowned for. Therefore, when planning a rafting trip, especially when trolling, be sure to check that your reel has one.
