Design features

Castmaster cannot be confused with another spinner, it has its own characteristics in the structure. The lure owes its popularity and prevalence to the American fisherman Art Loval. Back in the mid-50s of the last century, he began to produce it on an industrial scale, before that Castmaster was made only by hand.

Today, the spinner has many different color options, but its main characteristics have not changed. It is machined from a cylindrical workpiece so that an oblique cut is obtained. Another feature of the bait is its edges, which form sharp corners with the base.

Many anglers with experience highlight the following features of spinners:

• range;
• stability during wiring even in strong currents;
• used when fishing in a plumb line.

How to distinguish the original from forgery

Castmaster is one of the most catchy baits, which is why they often try to fake it. Perhaps a copy will work just as well and help the fisherman get trophies, but it also happens that the baubles only scare away the inhabitants of the fish. To always be with a catch, you need to choose exactly the original, tips from experienced anglers will help in this:

1. We check the complete set, the spinner consists of a body of a specific shape, a clockwork ring and a tee.
2. Particular attention is paid to the tee, in the original it is equal to the width of the spinner.
3. The winding ring is cut obliquely and inwards.
4. The tee is sharpened perfectly, on a real spinner there is a hook with special processing, which is visible to the naked eye.
5. The packaging is intact, without wrinkles or tears. All information on it is written without errors and in letters of the same size.
6. The real Castmaster is electroplated and carefully polished.

An important point will be the price of the goods, it is worthwhile to understand that the original Castmaster spinner cannot be cheap. Attention is also paid to the weight of the bait, the real one is available in 2,5 g, 3,5 g, 7 g, 14 g, 21 g, 28 g, 35 g.

Where to apply

Kasmaster is considered a universal lure for rivers, lakes and even for the sea. You can catch different types of predator with it. Most often, the bait attracts attention:

• pike;
• perch;
• pike perch;
• asp.

How to fish with Castmaster

Kasmaster is used in different water bodies, the current will not spoil his game, and even in still water, the lure will be able to attract the attention of a nearby predator. The main thing here is to choose the right wiring, for this they use different techniques.

Monotone feed options

This includes several wiring options at once, each of which will attract the attention of a predator. Uniform with the same speed of winding the warp onto the reel after casting is the most suitable for catching asp. The bait is offered and carried out exactly where the predator is, a quick feed will help create an imitation of a fry running away from the pursuer.

For catching pike, a slow, even feed is more suitable; it is best to use it in closed waters without a current. In this case, Castmaster will perform zigzag swings in a horizontal plane with a small amplitude.

Wavy wiring is suitable for both standing water and rivers. Before making the wiring, the lure is thrown into the right place, then they wait until it completely sinks to the bottom or is in the right thickness. Then they make several turns with acceleration, in which the bait moves up diagonally. The pause following this will allow it to slowly sink to the desired level. Only an experienced fisherman who also knows the reservoir well can do everything correctly.

Postings with a vertical component

The vertical component means stepped wiring, which can be supplemented with different elements. Not everyone uses this method, but this is how you can attract attention and make even very passive fish attack the bait.

The basic wiring looks like this:

• the lure is cast and waited for its complete immersion to the bottom;
• after 2-3 seconds, it is necessary to sharply raise the lure from the bottom, for this they quickly scroll the reel several times or make a toss with the rod;
• then another pause follows, it lasts until the lure is completely immersed in the bottom.

By conducting such animations, you can finish off pike, perch, asp, pike perch and even ide. Over time, the angler will learn to select the most successful additions to the main wiring, adding more and more innovations.

How to choose the size of the spinner

It often happens that from the wrong size of the spinner, all fishing goes down the drain. Too big can scare off potential trophies, and a small one will not attract due attention.

Fishing with such a bait is carried out with spinning rods and spinning rods of good quality, as a rule, a 14 g universal lure is used first.

Sluggish bites show the apathetic mood of the fish, here it is better to use a smaller Castmaster. It should be understood that a small bait will attract the attention of a small predator, which is why larger baits often help to get trophy specimens of a weighty predator.

Castmaster lure should be in the arsenal of every angler, regardless of where he prefers to catch and who exactly he is hunting for. The bait will attract the attention of many predators both in lakes and ponds, and on a fast-flowing river, you can take it with you on vacation at sea, where it will also not let you down.
