A lead for pike perch is a type of equipment in which the hook and sinker are on different lines. The weight is set at the end of the main line, and the hook with the bait is attached higher on a leash.
This type is great for catching zander, as well as catfish, trout, pike, bass. It is distinguished by good catchability, versatility and in some cases significantly exceeds spinning in efficiency. You can hunt in different seasons (winter, spring, summer, autumn).
Installation of a leash for zander fishing is quite simple. For manufacturing you will need:
- Fishing line (150 m) with a diameter of 0,2-0,25 mm;
- Coil;
- Braid or monofilament (0,17-0,2mm);
- Cargo (6-20 gr);
- Triple swivel;
- נעזל.
For details of the above parameters, please refer to the descriptions of the respective stores..

The pike-perch diverter allows you to safely catch stubbled areas, with densely overgrown vegetation, etc. He does a pretty good job with hooks. True, such tackle is difficult to throw over a long distance. You will have to make do with nearby sections of the reservoir.
In general, the leash for zander can be used anywhere (with the exception of some). This is a universal tackle. The main thing is to find a parking place for a predator.
Despite the fact that the predator is a freshwater inhabitant, it will be more difficult to find it in a pond or lake, but in a clean flowing river it is. In this case, the current can be both strong and moderate.
The second thing you should pay attention to when choosing a fishing spot is the depth of the reservoir. Pike perch prefers to be almost at the very bottom (12 – 15 m).
Favorite habitats:
- Dumps near steep banks;
- Koryaznik;
- פּיץ;
- Vast water areas with uneven ground;
- דעפּרעסיע;
- Places of hydraulic structures.
One of the common problems with long line fishing is tangling and jumping off the reel. As a result, you have to untie the “Gordian knot” and fishing turns into torment. To prevent this from happening, it is better to use an inertial coil.
Benefits of catching zander on a leash
This rig option provides smooth rotation and less tangling of the line. But the main advantage is catching. The spaced equipment begins to be used by experienced fishermen if other gear does not give the desired result. With the help of a diverter, you can even catch a passive predator.
This is due to the behavior of the bait. The use of various wires makes the bait game very attractive. For example, with a moderate flow of the river, after a long pause, the bait stops, imitating a hung fish. This behavior provokes pike perch.
It is the retractable leash that works well in the warm season, while other gear does not bring a stable bite. It also works well in strong currents and at different depths.
The use of this equipment on a boat will be inconvenient. Due to the large size. The tackle is confused and it is not possible to make a normal cast.
Technique for catching pike perch on a branch leash: feed, wiring
The primary task facing the angler is to find the location of prey. “Probing” of the water area is carried out by sectors. Three to five casts are made from the shore, gradually increasing the distance.
When fishing from a boat, the fishing sector increases to 360 degrees. From the shore it is 180 degrees.
In addition, you can change the angle of attack. This is especially effective if one fish is caught in this place. In order not to frighten off the rest of the flock, you can go from the other side.
If there is no bite, then you should change the nozzle to a different color, shape and size. You can also experiment with wiring. There are several of them:
- Jig step;
- Wavy;
- Uniform with short pauses;
- טוויטשינג.
In a good way, periodically you need to change the type of wiring. We tried one and if it does not work, then we change to another.
Basically, classic stepped wiring is used. It looks like this, the nozzle is thrown as far as possible. The moment of touching the bottom with the bait is expected. Determined by the tension of the line. As soon as it weakens, you can start wiring at a moderate speed. Two, three turns and a short pause. The main task is to knock the bait on the ground.
When signs of a bite appear, a sharp and powerful hook is made. The jaw of the pike perch is quite strong and it is necessary to act tough.
The choice of bait for catching zander on a retractable leash
The most effective baits for zander are traditional jig rubber bands. If you treat it with an odorous mixture, then the chance of successful fishing increases. You can do this with an attractant. In addition to the fact that the smell lures the predator, having swallowed the bait, he keeps it in his mouth for a long time. Thus, the fisherman has enough time for hooking.
An important factor is the correct choice of color. As mentioned above, pike perch prefers to live at great depths. Such places are notable for the lack of proper light. Therefore, the bait must be painted in bright colors so that the pike perch can notice it.
In addition to silicone, you can use plastic wobblers. For the better, floating models are noted. Some fishermen use spinners. But such baits are used extremely rarely.
The use of live bait is not excluded. Equipment at the same time is no different from fishing with artificial lures. The main thing is that the fish gives out an active game. Any fish from the food base of pike perch (gudgeon, roach, sculpin, chard) can act as live bait.
A live fish emits a natural smell and this increases the likelihood of an attack.
Leads, hooks and weights for making rigs
One of the main elements of the equipment is the sinker, or rather its shape. To avoid hooks and breakage of gear, the following loads are recommended:
- Cone-shaped “Bullet”;
- “Tyrolean wand” – unhooked;
- “Longcast”. In this case, the rod must be powerful.
One of the factors for successful fishing is the invisibility of gear. Pike perch is a cautious fish and it is easy to frighten it away. Therefore, it is better to use a monofilament as a leash. It is unobtrusive and quite durable. Fluorocarbon also has good characteristics. In addition, it is distinguished by negative buoyancy, unlike conventional fishing line.
The length of the leash depends on the behavior of the predator. If fishing is carried out during the period of the least activity of pike perch, then you will have to cast the bait as far as possible.
The process of mounting on a pike perch includes attaching a leash to the main line. There are several ways. The simplest one looks like this, a regular knot is made at the right distance, but not tightened. The leash is folded in half and applied to the main bend down. Then we pass the lower end of the leash through the knot of the main fishing line. From the other end we make 5-6 turns around the main line. We wind the remaining end into the formed loop and smoothly tighten the knot.
There are also other installation methods:
- Loop to loop;
- Through a single swivel;
- Triple swivel;
- Sliding.
The last method of attaching the leash is used for fishing in rivers with a good current. It provides an interesting game of bait.
Thus, you can catch both pike perch and pike, perch, chub. Overshadowing the above predators with a leash can be quite successful. This period of time, so, is distinguished by a good bite.
