How to tie a mormyshka with an eye: the best ways, diagrams and instructions

Mormyshka is an artificial bait with which fish is caught in the winter. It can be made from different materials and come in different shapes, sizes and weights. In addition, the bait can be painted in any color.

To make such a bait, you must have the following materials:

• Tungsten.
• Steel.
• Tin.
• Copper.
• Lead, etc.

There are a huge number of types of baits, which differ both in size and in weight, and in shape. Despite this, they all have the same purpose – to interest the fish with their game.

The most popular are the following types of mormyshki:

• Damn.
• Goat.
• Drobinka.
• Nymph.
• droplet, etc.

Among other things, each mormyshka plays the role of a sinker, therefore, mormyshkas differ in weight.

A way to tie a mormyshka with an eye

Each mormyshka has its own purpose, therefore it differs in weight, shape and color. Every angler should have a whole set of such lures. The weight of the bait is chosen depending on how fast the current is present at the place of fishing and what is the depth of the reservoir in this place. As for the color and shape of the bait, the fish can peck at any mormyshka. At the same time, it should be borne in mind that it doesn’t happen every time and the fish today bite on one type of bait of a certain color, and the next time it can simply ignore the same mormyshki, preferring a completely different shape and color.

The color of the mormyshka or its shade is selected from some natural factors, such as the presence of sunlight and the color of the bottom of the reservoir. On a bright day and at shallow depths, darker models will do. If the bottom at the fishing spot is light (sandy), then darker shades should also be used here. In conditions when the weather is cloudy and rainy, lighter specimens should be preferred.

For fastening mormyshki, several methods of fastening have been invented.

If the mormyshka has an eyelet, then the knitting process is somewhat simplified. For example:

1. The fishing line is threaded into the ear, after which a loop is formed. For the convenience of knitting, the threaded end of the fishing line should be long.
2. The loop is laid parallel to the hook, after which the free (long) end is wrapped around the hook.
3. After several turns (about six), the end of the fishing line is threaded into the laid loop, after which everything is pulled on both sides.
4. In conclusion, everything superfluous is cut off so as not to interfere.

To prevent the line from fraying during operation, a cambric is put on the ring. Before tightening the knot, the fishing line must be moistened with water (saliva) so that it does not lose strength.

As a rule, the mormyshka is attached to the fishing line at an angle of 45, 90 or 180 degrees, so this should always be remembered.

How to knit a mormyshka to a fishing line

The method of knitting a mormyshka to a fishing line depends on the design of the mormyshka itself. If a fastening ring is provided in the mormyshka, then there should not be any special problems. But there are mormyshkas in which there is no ring, but there is a hole in the body of the mormyshka, which serves to attach the mormyshka to the fishing line.

As a rule, such baits are knitted in one way – with a noose. At the same time, you need to monitor how the bait is balanced or at what angle it is knitted.

The method of knitting mormyshkas with a “train”

Mormyshkas tied with a “train” are always more catchy. It’s connected:

• with the fact that it is possible to use baits that differ in both color and size;
• with the opportunity to demonstrate a different game of lures;
• with increased attention of the fish to two objects at once. At the same time, mormyshkas should not be placed close to each other. As a rule, they are located at a distance of 25-30 cm.

The lower mormyshka may have a slightly larger weight, but the upper mormyshka can be attached both rigidly and movably. The movements of the upper mormyshka are limited by two beads fixed at a certain distance from one another. At the same time, you can adjust the gap that determines the movement of the upper mormyshka.

First of all, the upper bait is knitted. This is done very simply, with the help of a loop that is wound into the jig ring. After that, the bait is passed through the same loop and tightened.

Then the bottom bait is knitted. How to tie the bottom mormyshka has already been mentioned in this article. Despite this, every angler has every right to fix mormyshkas in his own way. The main thing is that the knot is reliable and cannot be untied in the process of fishing.

After the two jigs are fixed, we can say that the “train” is ready for use.

How to tie a braided fishing line to a leash?

Step-by-step knitting of a leash to a braided line according to the “Streng” type:

• The braid and leash are overlapped, after which the leash is taken and a loop of the universal knot is formed from it.
• The end of the leash makes several turns around the braid. The number of turns depends on the size of the fish that is supposed to be caught.
• After that, a leash with a braid is taken and the knot is tightened.
• After that, a clinch is made around the resulting knot, which is also fixed. To do this, again the leash and braid are pulled in different directions.

At the same time, it should be noted that the use of braided line for fishing in winter is somewhat problematic, since it is afraid of low temperatures and quickly freezes over, which is not very convenient.

Knots for tying mormyshkas

Knots for attaching artificial lures:

Knot “Eight”»

How to knit a figure eight knot:

1. The hook is positioned so that the sting looks up, after which the fishing line is threaded into the eye.
2. A loop is formed at the end of the line.
3. The loop is wrapped in one place several times.
4. After that, a figure eight is formed from the loop. To do this, the end of the fishing line and its other part are pulled in different directions.
5. Finally, the sting of the hook (bait) is passed through each half of the figure eight and tightened.

Knot “Clinch”

“Clinch” is knitted for the eye of the mormyshka:

1. The end of the fishing line is threaded into the eye, after which two ends of the fishing line are obtained: one end is the end of the fishing line, and the second end is the main fishing line of the tackle.
2. The end of the fishing line, in the opposite direction, makes several turns around the forearm of the hook and fishing line.
3. After making 5-6 turns, the end of the fishing line returns and is threaded into the loop formed.
4. After threading the line into the first loop, a second loop is formed, where the same end of the line is threaded.
5. Finally, the knot is tightened.

Simple node

How to tie a simple knot:

1. The end of the main line is passed through a hole made in the body of the jig.
2. After that, a regular loop with fly fishing is formed.
3. Inside the loop, with the second end of the fishing line, several turns are made.
4. Then the knot is tightened, and the tackle moves along the fishing line to the knot.

Double slip knot

To do this, perform the following operations:

• The fishing line is passed into the hole of the nozzle.
• A spiral loop of several turns is formed from the fishing line.
• This spiral shrinks a little.
• The bottom, largest loop is put on a hook.
• After that, they begin to tighten the knot.

How to tie a mormyshka without an eyelet

If the mormyshka is without an ear, then you need to do the following:

1. A fishing line is threaded into the hole, a small loop is left and the fishing line is threaded back into the same hole.
2. This loop, formed by the fishing line, is placed on the hook, spirally.
3. They take the free end of the fishing line and a ring is formed over the mormyshka, after which it is wrapped around, like a figure eight.
4. After that, the knot is tightly tightened, holding the mormyshka.

Conclusion

Knitting an artificial bait, such as a mormyshka, requires certain skills. This is due to the fact that when fishing in winter, when thin and sensitive gear is used, the lure must be securely fastened. Moreover, this is true at low temperatures, when the fastening of a new bait is not entirely comfortable. Here it is better to prepare everything in advance and stock up on ready-made leashes with fixed lures (mormyshkas).
