Ready to face with the Trabucco team a new fishing session, this time looking for chub of river Oglio, threatened with the technique of feeder fishing.
The sudden drop of the temperature has made the fish very mistrustful but the fishing strategy chosen by the Trabucco team seems to be winning, because despite the mistrust and the situation tends to be negative, the fish seem rather active and like the mix of pasture and triggers thrown into the water.
Another winning point in the fishing setup is undoubtedly the choice of a decidedly light equipment, with rigs of 0.12 and hooks number 20. An ultra light fishing session with maggots that leads the fish to be less suspicious.
The maggot is used both for baiting and as a trigger. At the beginning of the session a very "protein" pasture is prepared. One kilo of XP3000 Pasture at cheese flavor will be sufficient for the entire session as it is enriched by a large quantity of glued maggots.
Cheese pasture is undoubtedly one of the most loved by the target cyprinids of the session, who will also appreciate the maggots glued with the special Magic glue that are not ensures and gives a cohesive gluing but is rich in nutrients that further attract prey in the pastured area.
The session presents itself as the best opportunity to show the public the new 2019 feeders of Trabucco's brand. Three main novelties: the Match Cage Line, the Match Cage Swivel and the Black Head. The first two are open cage feeders, the first available in the small, medium size and the second in the three sizes small, medium and large.
The main feature of the Match Cage Line is the larger size of the opening of the cage windows, a technical precaution that allows a faster flaking of the pasture after the feeder has touched the bottom, this to ensure that the fish are attracted and recalled in the baited area more quickly.
This is precisely the first feeder to take to the field, filled with glued maggots, blocked at both ends by pasturage "caps" not too pressing to allow the correct escape of the maggot in a spot characterized by a very slow current. This feeder is accompanied by a simple but efficient trigger, especially when dealing with very suspicious fish. On a hook 710 XB, number 20, a hook with a small but very durable structure, also suitable for fishing in fisheries, are pinned just under the skin two maggots.
The deadly combination immediately leads to the capture of the prey seduced by the deadly mix.
Fishing next to the Match Cage Line is the Black Head, a closed 40 gram feeder always loaded with maggots. The technological innovation linked to this feeder is the use of a special plastic material that does not harden as the temperature drops in winter. This maximizes the life of the feeder, which does not break as is usually the case with lead, but remains intact to be used session after session.
The 13-feet Protector Competition, a medium-strong rod with a strong blank, soft and parabolic action and sensitivity at the tip, is the key feature of the winner when it comes to dealing with prey such as chub, barbels and pigo fish. The presence of the dam that with the openings of the locks modifies the current of the spot generates a moment of stasis that is resolved shortly after mounting equipment even lighter as a rig of 0.10.
Next to the Ultimate Competition Feeder 75 grams there’s the Sharp 5000, a top of the range of the Trabucco brand, with an attractive sporty look, equipped with 9 + 1 bearings, infinite return and max drag of 10 kilos, which allows him to deal with even the largest prey in complete peace of mind.
The peculiarity of the reel is the special rubber band placed in the center of the reel, technical care that allows you to spool the braid in a comfortable way, preventing it from slipping during the spooling action.
Last but not least, the Genius S1 Light and Genius S2 Light Concept seat boxes are designed for fishermen who have to walk for several kilometers before reaching the fishing spot. Two super comfortable solutions with ergonomic seat, resistant aluminum frame, adjustable legs and the possibility of customising with various accessories such as trays and feeder arm.
The result of a long awaited day full of catches to challenge the repentant thermal drop is clearly positive.
