Shchukovki

Shchukovki or winter girders are constructively simple devices that are indispensable for winter fishing on frozen water bodies. Often with such girders anglers work in the process of catching river fish species - perch, burbot or pike.

Structurally, pike are considered quite simple and consist of only a few elements:

• round base;
• sinkers;
• leash;
• hook;
• flag.

It is most convenient to work with small weights of sinkers, the values ​​of which vary from 8 to 12 g. As for the shape, it can be absolutely any. Moreover, the leash is picked up about 25-35 cm, and the hook can be completely different.

Buy girders for winter fishing: varieties

All winter pike by their design can be conditionally divided into two large categories :

1. Open type models. Already based on their name, it becomes clear that such devices do not close the hole, but are fixed by means of a tripod or placed near the hole. Such pikes work best during the thaw period, when the holes do not freeze and will not be covered with snow. Moreover, it is best to use them in cloudy weather, so that bright sunlight does not scare off cautious predators.
2. Closed models. The presented girders, the price of which is particularly affordable, completely cover the hole. Such designs have found their application in severe frosts, in the presence of snow. Thus, they completely cover the finished wells, excluding their rapid freezing. In addition, they protect the hole from sunlight and extraneous sounds on the surface - this is an excellent solution when "hunting" shy underwater inhabitants.

To select and buy girders , you will first need to take into account the future conditions of fishing and compare them with the above types of models.
