What are the best lures for asp fishing: diamond, Trophy, video and how to make it yourself?

Asp is a river corsair, not naturally endowed with sharp teeth, but suspicious and cautious. This predator is always a desired trophy for fishermen. The best tackle for asp is a spinning rod with high-speed wiring. The baits in use are various artificial ones: trimmers, poppers, wobblers, spinners (oscillating, rotating), triangular baits.

The fisherman will need skill and patience. You won't be able to relax when fishing. It is important to make long casts in a timely and accurate manner.

Spinner is a very catchy, targeted bait. Today manufacturers offer a wide selection. The Castmaster from the Acme Tackle company earned appreciation from fishermen. But when choosing, experts advise taking into account weight, color, and stability in the current. Rating of the best spinners according to experienced spinners.

Is there a universal spinning rod?

What if you need a universal spinning rod of medium power

(5-25g.), for example, for fishing with popular techniques: jig and twitching.
Is it possible to choose a universal option here? In this case, spinning can be called universal only under certain conditions
:

Condition 1.

If baits of approximately the same weight (10-18g) are used.

Condition 2.

If the universal rod length is used, which is about 7.6 feet or 2.29 meters.

Condition 3.

The spinning rod must be of high quality. Made from high modulus carbon fiber and assembled in Japan. Such spinning rods have a complex structure that can suit different conditions. The spinning material will provide a high level of sensitivity and control over the bait (in jigging and twitching).

Only under specific conditions:

Short twitching spinning rods (up to 2.1 m) or long jigging rods (2.7-3 m) will work perfectly only for the purposes for which it is made. They will be less suitable for some other tasks, and not suitable for others at all. They cannot be called universal in any way.

We've sorted out the nuances of versatility. Now let's talk about choosing a spinning rod.

These characteristics almost completely describe the fishing rod for a particular body of water. So, the length allows you to determine the casting distance, having a direct relationship - the longer, the further. The test, in turn, shows how heavy the bait can be delivered to the desired area of the reservoir and partially determines what weight of fish is expected to be caught.

As mentioned above, spinning is a universal tackle. However, if when fishing from a boat the set of criteria is very limited, since fishing is actually carried out in open space, then when casting from the shore, all possible influencing factors must be taken into account. It is necessary to pay attention first of all to the following characteristics:

Neglecting at least one of these factors can lead to complete discomfort during fishing and its accompaniment by constant snagging on coastal vegetation, tangling of the fishing line and, as a result, the end of fishing. In order to wisely choose a spinning rod for fishing from the shore, you need to understand the parameters described below.

Price and type of rod

Before buying a spinning blank, you need to carefully study the market, since there are a huge number of offers there. And very often you can find a budget rod within 3,000 rubles, which in its characteristics will be similar to a product produced by a famous brand and having a retail price of 30,000 rubles and above.

And yet, despite the fact that the brand is a significant, but not fundamental, circumstance, it should be noted that among both beginners and experienced fishermen, rods from Daiwa and Shimano have a good reputation; manufacturers Banax, Nissin, Tenryu are a little less known. The range of these companies is very large and allows you to choose a set of rods for the required type of fishing.

Tips for fisherman: Rigging for asp with flies and castmaster - Detailed review

Based on their technical design, forms are divided into plug-in and telescopic. The first ones consist mainly of two parts and are connected end-to-end using a plug connection. This guarantees them high strength, uniform load distribution and, accordingly, excellent balance.

Rods of the second type are very outdated; their only advantage is their compactness during transportation, which made them popular mainly among lovers of float and bottom tackle. Accordingly, when fishing with spinning tackle from the shore, it is better to give preference to a plug form.

Primary parameters for choosing a fishing rod: test and length

These characteristics almost completely describe the fishing rod for a particular body of water. So, the length allows you to determine the casting distance, having a direct relationship - the longer, the further. The test, in turn, shows how heavy the bait can be delivered to the desired area of the reservoir and partially determines what weight of fish is expected to be caught.

Rods have a very different test, and extreme values can be from tenths to a unit of grams when fishing with ultra-light baits, and from tens to hundreds of grams when hunting fish such as taimen, salmon, catfish or very large pike using special oscillating spinners. Universal values for most reservoirs when fishing from the shore will be 7-30 grams, 5-15 grams, 5-25 grams or close to them, i.e., no more than 30 grams and lying in a wide range.

It should be remembered that it is better to choose a test with a small margin, ideally so that the mass of the bait is its average value. As an example, if you plan to cast a spinner weighing from 7 to 15 grams, then a rod test of 5-25 grams would be ideal.

Rod build

This parameter should be displayed in a separate column, since it ultimately characterizes the form of the rod and determines what baits will be used for fishing. In fact, it indicates the information content of the tackle when casting, retrieving and retrieving, depending on the type of equipment. Despite the fact that this is a separate and very large topic, you should at least superficially study this parameter in order to correctly select a spinning rod for fishing from the shore.

The action is indicated on the form of the rod; it is convenient to divide it into three types:

So, as can be seen from the description, for beginners or anglers who do not have sufficient information about the reservoir, it is recommended to use a medium or, as it is called, semi-parabolic system. This rod will allow you to use a wide range of baits, provide optimal casting and comfortable fishing.

The quality of the rod blank

Guide rings on the rod blank are also made of different materials, but all-metal ones are increasingly leaving their positions, and their place is being taken by designs with various spacers made of ceramics, Teflon, etc. This innovation eliminates the unpleasant phenomenon of the fishing line rubbing against the ring material, followed by breakage and loss of valuable bait.

Zerger , I assume that you put spinning rods to the vote that can be used specifically for asp fishing? Do I understand correctly that I can use the search, read reviews and make decisions for myself on any stick from the list?

Of the sticks, the ones that I personally caught were: 1 - Lamiglas Certified Pro LLS , 2.92 m, with a test of 3.0-10.0 g - the stick is not bad, but it did not become the basis, since it was supplanted by the main one at that time.

3- ST.Croix LES 86MF2 , up to 21 g. Excellent long-range shooter from the salmon series, replaced my old Calqueta in 2010 to this day. There are no complaints, all the excellent advantages of pure asp (range, accuracy and jerk control), allows It’s still decent to jig from the shore. One of the best all-rounders for shore guards.

Now there will be a lot of letters, if you are too lazy to read, then you can go below - straight to the list of fishing rods.

A certain paradox emerges - flexible and flexible rods for thin lines with decent rigidity and minimal residual vibrations for jerking animation

Now you can decide on the models: 1. Silver Stream Taifun N TN802 UL (from the new series, on the old ones the rings are too heavy and overload the tip for animation of walkers, casting with one hand is inconvenient) 2. Yamaga Blanks Battle Whip BW-82MLX (the best from the list for work with walkers) 3. Tict B4 Befo bFO-80T (the rings on the tip are not the best and there may be problems with walkers) 4. Norstream Stage SG-86L or SG-86ML 5. Graphiteleader Rivolta GRIS 772L (the shortest on the list, but longer than Tira)

If someone adds to my short list, I will be only glad.

I tried to put all the rods mentioned in this topic into a poll at the top of the topic, I hope my colleagues will help you decide. Good luck with your choice!

Zerger , I assume that you put spinning rods to the vote that can be used specifically for asp fishing? Do I understand correctly that I can use the search, read reviews and make decisions for myself on any stick from the list?

And now why I started asking questions in the graphite leader thread. In my city, where fishing rods are problematic in general, a certain number of them were brought, and so I wondered, could this be suitable for catching asp? But, as far as I remember, the Rivolta you cited is not available in the store, but the Tiro 762L is available. I asked a question about Tiro, but didn’t get much information. Something like that.

Tips for fisherman: Spinning bait for asp in summer - Features of choice

I am sure that it will not be suitable for the tasks of catching asp, as a long-range one. Since I caught with this Zed smaller up to 10g (Zedd 76L), at a height of 2.29 m. My partner has such a spinning rod, so when fishing with the same weights, and this is Light , then we used weights of 6-8-10-12 g, so my Arion 76 also weighed up to 12 g, it moved it quite easily.

You can use monofilament and braided cord when rigging a spinning tackle for asp. The first, given the aggressiveness of the predator, has some advantage. Both fishing line and cord must have a breaking force of at least 5 kg.

Types of spinners and selection features

The asp responds well to shiny baits that are similar in appearance to fish fry.

Among the varieties, the best spinners include:

rotating in the form of a cut;
fluctuating;
tungsten;
jigs.

To please the asp, the spinner must be:

long-range with the possibility of use for long casts;
stable, regardless of the strength of the current;
stable when playing during postings;
natural when playing in the upper layers;
effective when used at the mid-horizon.

When choosing, you should take into account the shape of the bait, the ability to play while falling or retrieving, the color and the best spinner – shiny, looking beautiful when playing.

Rotating

Spinner Mepps Aglia
Zherehu – river corsair. I like long casts. The spinning spoons proved to be a good game. The advantage is that spinners have a long petal in the form of a willow leaf and a heavy core as effective spinners when fishing in fast waters against the current.

Preferred weight is 2-15 g.

Advantages:

fast energetic retrieve;
elongated ovality of the petal.

Best spinners:

Mepps;
Heavy Long No. 3;
Aglia Long No. 1.5;
Daiwa Silver Greek.

Hesitating

In terms of catchability, spinners are somewhat inferior to castmasters and tri-grids. But nevertheless, they are quite catchy and long-range. For example, when catching asp, an oscillating spinner from Daiwa - Chinook . The Bay De Noc Swedish Pimple model is also distinguished by its universal catchability.

Spoons in the form of a cut

Weight – 12-20 g;
Casting range – up to 70 m.

The best options for spinners with a cut are those with a silver-golden surface , attractive to predators.

Thanks to the cutting angle, these baits have a fairly wide stroke, which is important for the asp during the game. The spoons are equipped with a long narrow white tail (twisters) and have proven catchability.

Classic domestic spinner (three-sided)

A type of oscillating bait invented by domestic spinning fishermen. Often used when fishing asp. The three-edge has proven excellent play on the water during pauses, so it is often used by anglers for jigging.

Peculiarities:

extreme range;
versatility;
possibility of application at different horizons;
stability of play at low amplitude;
range of flight;
lack of additional equipment for weights in the form of a sbirulino float, since the shape of the bait is triangular and the weight is already substantial;
high specific gravity, which does not lead to knocking down when playing even in fast currents;
Possibility of fishing for asp, large perch, and pike perch in winter.

The trihedron has excellent performance on large rivers, at a decent distance from the shore, and even in the winter season. Can be used for vertical trolling from a boat, pursuing various prey objects, ranging from medium-sized perches to representatives of salmon.

REFERENCE! Sabunaev’s three-sided spinner is considered to be the catchiest one; it is the leader among domestic spinners for asp. If you do it with your own hands according to all the rules, then solid trophies will be guaranteed. But fishermen are not advised to use models weighing less than 7 grams. The best options are in the form of a triangle in cross section.

Tungsten spinners for asp

Tungsten is a heavy metal, due to which the spinners are minimal in size and maximum in weight. Spinnerbaits are produced in the shape of petals and hearts, capable of creating aerodynamic unity on the water and ensuring accuracy and casting range. For example, a tungsten jig - Tunqsten Jiqqinq Spoon , made of pure tungsten, is only 4 cm long, 1 cm wide, but heavy - 14 g.

Excellent for staging or jigging.

Turntables with a tungsten core are characterized by long range and compactness. If there is a red bead on the hook of the spoon, then it will be quite possible to create windage in the waters and force this tungsten bait in the form of a spinner - a tee - to attack the asp.

Spoon jigs for asp fishing

Vertical spoons are designed for onboard fishing on lakes, northern rivers or vertical lures. The jig is a simple piece of metal surrounded by lead with shipping. This is a spinner - a tube, not difficult to make yourself from a volumetric piece of metal with a tee attached to the upper or lower end to avoid snags.

The best models:

RENEGADE;
Renegade;
Iron Minnow (Japanese model).

The best shaker for asp

Manufacturers offer a wide range of asp vibrators, varying in weight and size. Amateurs can always choose a model suitable for themselves and for any fishing conditions for carrying out different variations of fishing in the upper layers of water.

The recommended weight of spoons is 10-30 g , length - 4-6 cm. When fishing at great depths and in waters with strong currents, it is better to use heavy, wide models. Main advantages: catchability, versatility, excellent flight properties and play with a small amplitude.

Spinner-bullet for asp

Easy to make baits, but quite catchy for a predator, weighing 1.5 g from a long distance.

Peculiarities:

casting gear up to 40 km;
range;
simplicity in execution, although it may well cause a sensation on the asp.

Spinner beetle on asp

The peculiarity of the beetle spinner is its convex scales, although it can be cast when made from sheet material with a smooth surface. Usually, 1 part of the bait remains unpainted, the other is painted silver (serebryanka). Fishermen note that models with convex scales are more effective than flat ones.

Installation of the spinner

Assemble the spoon and fishing line as follows:

The end, 15–30 cm long, is pulled through the loop for attaching the fishing line.
Hold the lure in one hand (most people use the left) and wrap the end 4-6 times around the straight section of line that runs to the reel.
Pass this end through a small loop at the eye of the spoon, and then pull it through the loop for attaching the fishing line.
Tighten the knot by pulling the tip of the fishing line.

In order not to think about painting a homemade spoon, just wrap it in fish skin with scales, and it will not only imitate the natural production of asp, but also distribute a natural aroma.

I think many spinning anglers will agree with me that in most cases heavy jigs like spinners are suitable for catching asp.

And if we talk about those cases when it is active, then in order to catch this predator with a spinning rod, almost any spinning bait can do.

It’s a completely different matter when the sheresper is in a passive state and it is sometimes very difficult to tempt him to bite, and at times it is simply impossible. Therefore, I often had the desire to create a bait specifically for the passive asp. To do this, I turned to the Institute of Hydrodynamics. At the beginning, my researchers and I found out which baits were most in demand by this insidious predator. First of all, we were interested in various types of spinners.

This is what we got. Jig-like lures came in first place. In addition, the asp often prefers ordinary driven oscillating spoons and, of course, spinners. In rare cases, the asp readily responds to Devon baits, that is, to those spinners that have a turbine. We did not consider bulky plastic baits, since the goal was to create, first of all, a long-range bait that would combine all the qualities above mentioned spinners. Throughout the winter, the hydrodynamic properties of each individual spoon were determined in the institute’s pool, and together with ichthyologists they tried to figure out why the asp was interested in this or that bait. Now I will not go into scientific terminology and explain how and why this or that spoon lures the asp to bite. Well, firstly and most importantly, the scientific work itself and the conclusions to it take up more than one or even ten sheets of printed text in A4 format. I will only reveal that a jointly created group of scientists from the Institutes of Hydrodynamics and Ichthyology managed to combine the data of several baits into one and make the first prototype of a special spoon for catching asp. Initial tests in the Volga delta showed its impeccable professional suitability. This bait caught asp always and in all the places where we tested it. Our event ended in triumph. Soon fishermen will have a real panacea for lack of bite. I bring to your attention a photo of this spinner.

The front part of the bait is nothing more than a real jig, and gives the spoon an incredible flight range. There is a so-called wing on top, which helps create vibrations in the water for the entire bait, reminiscent of the work of a spoon. And at the end, in the middle, there is a turbine, its work one-on-one resembles the work of the Devons and intersects with the work of the petal of a rotating spoon. Moreover, one side of this turbine is painted red, which, as you understand, is also not accidental. This is an additional irritant and at the same time an aiming point. Now the asp fisherman will not have to buy a huge number of baits and then tirelessly look for the one on the reservoirs that the cunning asp would deign to take advantage of. Of course, this is a pre-production sample, the spinner will be further developed to a greater extent to bring it to an ideal, aesthetically pleasing shape. After which it will certainly hit the shelves of Spinningline stores. Follow the news. And yet, most likely we will announce a competition for the most original name for this spinner, and summing up the results, we will celebrate the winner with a separate gift no less original than the spinner itself.

Spoons made according to the same principle were known before him, but it was Sabunaev who proposed strictly the proportions by which they began to make the “Triple-Granka”, which very quickly became a real hit. A kind of “golden ratio”. I don’t know how it was in the 50s (I simply wasn’t in the world then), but in the 70s-80s, despite our “native” origin, I didn’t see it in fishing stores, and I’m not sure that this spinner was generally mass-produced in the last century. There was obvious injustice in this, so in 2000 I had a hand in organizing the publication of “Trekhgranka”. In Nizhny Novgorod, one of the factories managed to order a batch of these spinners - about a thousand pieces. In general, a drop in the ocean, but they made a splash! Those spinners looked unprepossessing - just a piece of galvanized iron (the last one I have preserved is in the photo), but the zher fishermen managed to appreciate them.

But still, in light of the current diversity of baits, I would not put “Trekhgranka” in one of the first places among asp baits. Despite its weight and seemingly good aerodynamics, it still flies worse than most other jig-like spoons, and I also cannot say that the asp somehow makes it stand out from other “hardware”. This is where the “Trekhgranka” can definitely be useful, this is when fishing “deep boilers”. This is when there are seagulls above the water, near the surface there are perch and, possibly, small asp, and meters below there is a larger asp. This is where he comes across the “Trihedranka”, if you lead it as a “step” in the thickness.

To be honest, I didn’t notice much of a difference in the number of bites between the bright red “drop” and the dull gray one. It even seemed to me that the asp takes the painted one less often. That's why I stopped painting.

I am now anticipating the likely perplexed questions of many of those who read these lines: is it really possible that an asp is caught on this scrap of lead?! Is it true. But I’ll immediately make a reservation that the use of a “drop” is justified in the situation when it is necessary to achieve the maximum casting range. The asp in the photo, by the way, was caught almost throwing out at a distance of more than a hundred meters: the “drop” flew away in 130 revolutions of the Team Cormoran 2500 reel. If the situation is such that a casting range of 80-90 m will suit you, then it’s better to put something slightly less volatile, but more “tasty” for asp. Retrieving a “drop” is no different: cast and immediately begin monotonous retrieving at an above-average pace.

Also, in general, a drop, but...

In some ways it resembles a fairy tale. The hen laid an egg, but not a simple one, but a golden one... So the “drops” for catching asp can be “simple” (lead) and “golden” (tungsten). Well, the difference in price, of course, is not as radical as if the “drop” were really made of gold, but tungsten cannot be called cheap, and for a “drop” it requires not a fraction of a gram, as for a jig, but at least an ounce, so the price tag is very steep.

I got a couple of tungsten “drops” from my old friends from the city of Ivanovo, where quite a lot of original things are produced under the “MastIv” brand. Such a “drop” (or “bullet”, as it is also called) weighs 34 g, while it is as compact as possible. I managed to throw it at 125 m, and this is not the limit. There is an option in the natural gray color of tungsten, and there is a silver-plated one. But this does not affect the number of bites.

Do-it-yourself spinner for asp - drawings

Many drawings can be found on the Internet for making a homemade catching spoon with your own hands.

The simplest option:

take a brass tube (length 5-7 cm);
cut at an oblique angle;
drill holes;
color to taste;
pour a little shot inside the tube so that the spoon rattles well;
press the edges.

It’s not difficult to make a spinnerbait with your own hands, with a job no worse than that of the famous castmasters.

For what:

cast a blank for the vibrator, the casting can be made of tin or lead;
fill the inside with lead when making sheet metal;
equip with a high-quality tee, attaching it to the sharp end of the spoon;
Attach the blunt end to the ring to connect to the leash.

Asp is a cautious fish, but good baits can be made with your own hands from sheet material filled with lead or tucked from a solid piece of metal. The main condition is to equip the hand-made bait with a high-quality tee, attaching it to the sharp end of the product. Attach the factory ring to the blunt end and thus connect the vibrator to the leash.

Spinner for asp in summer and autumn

Depending on the time of year, the asp’s behavior can change dramatically:

In winter, fish hide in deep holes at the bottom of the reservoir, in riffles, and in breaker jets.
In the spring , the fish wake up and begin to bite on any bait. After the ice melts, it is preferable to fish with spinners, castmasters, and spoons. The asp spinners are becoming uninteresting, although they play well in a strong current. A successful spinner with a front dive after the fish go to spawn.
In summer , the asp is capricious, so catching can become difficult. It is better to fish in cool times, in the morning at sunset.
In the fall, you can fish with any bait, but it’s better to use a heavy one made of brass (copper), weighing 10-12 g.

The fish is more active in the morning or evening; at this time it reacts to the oscillators, which are unable to deviate from the given axis at the time of retrieving. Asp fishing is unique depending on the year. It is better to catch it in cool weather, in the morning or evening at sunset.

Jigs

This is one large group of baits that resemble an outwardly simple piece of metal. However, there are specimens among them that are noticeably superior to most jigs. Most often they do not have their own game, or it is very weak.

Renegade Iron Minnow. Something between a slow-playing spoon and a jig. Works well on the bottom step, step in the water column, jerking and uniform.
Trehgranka Sabunaev. A recognizable jig with a specific shape. Despite its weight, it does not fly very well compared to other jigs. The best results are shown when fishing in deep cauldrons, with a step in the water column.
Kastmaster and the like. There is no particular difference in catchability between the original castmaster and the fake. The only thing is that it is better to replace the tees with others of proper quality. Due to its shape, the spinner can be carried to the surface, so it is important to choose the right weight. But sometimes the asp reacts more readily to the planing castmaster. He has his own game, so moving for demolition without reeling is also effective.

Catching asp with a spoon

The asp spinner is an artificial bait with a narrow body, which allows for quick retrieval and convenient casting.

In appearance, the bait is similar to bleak and small chub, which are preferred for feeding asp. This is a river fish. In summer, it spends more time at the surface, which is important to consider when choosing bait for stable performance. Closer to autumn, the predator moves to the middle horizon or sinks to the bottom. At this time, slow wiring with step play is performed.

Catching asp from a boat in spring

When there is a friendly warm spring before the spring ban, I catch asp from a boat immediately after the ice cover melts. At this time, the river usually rises to such a level that it is good to wash out flowing old rivers and backwaters, but there are no strong, critical spills yet, and the water is quite clear.

Tips for fisherman: How to catch asp with a spinning rod in the summer - Let's take it step by step

The most reliable asp places are best “known” by flocks of various small leucorrhoea, which in early spring can be anywhere. After the ice melts, they usually immediately leave their wintering sites and are found everywhere - on rifts, spits, along snags at different depths, on wide reaches, along the edges of holes at the entrances to old rivers and backwaters.

Visually, the asp rarely reveals itself in the spring, hunting near the bottom or in the middle horizons. And small leucorrhoea rarely plays near the surface. As a result, the river may look dead, and it is difficult to quickly figure out exactly where to fish. Therefore, an echo sounder will be very useful at this time; with it there is no problem finding dense schools of small fish; these are the surroundings that I fish for first of all, because the asp is the same “shepherd of the herd” as the pike.

So, to summarize, we can safely say that no matter how cunning and cautious the asp is, we must not forget that it is just a fish, and it is much easier for us to outwit him than for him to outwit us! The surrounding landscape, time of day, weather conditions, fish activity - all this, with the right approach, can play into our hands.

Tips from experienced fishermen

The asp is constantly cautious, so it is unlikely that one will be able to rejoice at a good catch without knowing some of the characteristics and habits of the fish.

Experienced fishermen recommend:

choose places for fishing as far from the coast as possible and quiet ones without nearby beaches and large crowds of people;
pick up heavy spoons when fishing after spawning fish;
it is better if the terrain is dense (with tree trunks littered) and the water is covered with vegetation, which the asp likes;
the predator cannot be allowed to quickly detect the presence of a person , therefore, when delivering the bait to the parking lot, it is important to make casts with a range of at least 100 m;
when fishing from the shore, casting tackle should be as accurate as possible;
It is undesirable to use spinners with light weight , less than 30 grams;
the bait, regardless of the variety, must have excellent flight (aerodynamic) characteristics for casting range;
it is advisable to fish in calm weather in order to send the bait at a distance that allows you to remain unnoticed, as if in shelter;
when fishing with spoons, it is important first of all to identify the habitats of the asp , for example, where you can hear the beating of the tail on the surface of the water when searching for food;
asp loves bleak , so the best shape of the spoon is elongated, the color is silver, similar to the stunned bleak;
when splashes appear on the surface of the water, fishermen should not hesitate to cast the bait to the location of the fish, then carry out a uniform retrieve so that the asp does not come off the hook;
The success of a spinner on the water depends on the time of year , weather conditions, features of the reservoir and terrain.

It is impossible to give a definite answer: which spinner option for catching asp is the best. Each of the models described has its pros and cons. It is also important to use spinners under certain conditions and the correct wiring technique. Anglers who want to fish for asp should take into account the depth of the reservoir and choose wisely when choosing turntables and spinners.

The main thing is that the bites are constant even when catching asp in the most inappropriate and difficult weather conditions.

The most non-standard representative of this top. It has an unusual shape and color (bright light green combined with yellow), as well as a loud rattle.

A heavy wobbler that you should try when others have not helped. It extremely quickly sinks to the maximum depth for asp fishing, where it begins its oscillating movements at the slightest movements of underwater vegetation, which makes it an effective bait for asp fishing.
