Fishing with a feeder at a short distance is a very exciting activity. Often it is high-speed fishing of small fish that brings anglers victories at competitions. This is primarily due to the fact that smaller fish remain active even under fishing pressure, which is very large due to the large number of fishermen. In addition to fishing skills, to achieve results, you will also need to choose the appropriate rod. The optimal length for temp fishing is from 9 to 11 ft (2.70-3.30 m). This length allows you to comfortably catch at distances up to 25 meters, which often becomes the main for high-speed fishing.

Today I want to talk in detail about the nuances of tempo fishing, as well as consider a specific model of the rod from the company Zemex, which is perfect for this. We will talk about the Hi-pro Super Feeder model. The use of elegant rods of light class for fast fishing is not a luxury, but a vital necessity. In contrast to the classic feeder fishing, the number of short distance casts increases several times, and even a physically prepared experienced fisherman may be exhausted by the end of the competition. The Hi Pro model is 10 feet tall and weighs 161 grams, and 9 feet is even less than 150 grams. Such weight characteristics of the blank will allow you to catch the entire five-hour session, even at a very high pace. "What rate is considered high?» you ask. The time period of the rig being in the water, it is better to choose in advance during training. As a rule, it can range from five to forty seconds. A longer pause is not advisable.

A few words about choosing a quivertip. The set of Hi Pro super feeder includes a standard set of three feeder tips of different test. For windless weather, the best option is to use soft tips. Visualization of bites is a very important component in tempo fishing. Often, small fish bites are very delicate, and it is the soft quiver that will be in priority. When fishing at short distances, the most convenient form of casting is the so-called "English" casting, which implies a fairly long overhang. Sometimes the overhang is not much shorter than the length of the rod. From the outside, it may seem that this is not very convenient, but this casting saves the most valuable time for the angler. The small test quivertip also contributes to this form of casting, easily pulling the entire Hi-pro form, which easily catapults the feeder to the point of catching. It must be recognized that the throwing qualities of these blanks, well manifest themselves in all forms of casting. With regards to the tests on the request form. The Hi Pro 10 ft model has a 50 gram test. This means that the angler can work with feeders up to 50 grams inclusive. At short distances, feeders weighing from 20 to 40 grams are used, which ideally suit the test range.

Temp fishing involves a constant supply of groundbait and live component to the fishing spot. It is better to choose a small-fraction bait with a large number of active pop-up particles, which are very much to the liking of roach, bleak, bream and other representatives of the underwater world. As a live component, it is necessary to use a pink (medium-sized maggot) and a small bloodworm. In addition to the classic delivery of bait to the bottom, it is not superfluous to periodically to empty the feeder in the water column. Slowly sinking groundbait and bloodworm will create even more excitement at the fishing point and help reduce the waiting time for biting. It is not superfluous to use this technique to lengthen the hookline. Often the use of hookline longer than a meter, allow you to fish in the water column, even before the bait touches the bottom, which further increases the pace of fishing.

In most cases, short fishing involves catching small and medium-sized fish. However, it is common for bonus specimens to feed in the coastal zone in search of food. The angler must be prepared for this. Just as the rod must cope with the jerks of captured fish. Despite all its elegance, the hi Pro forms have a sufficient margin of safety to fight an unexpected bonus, even considering that the fishing is performed with extremely thin hooklines and no less delicate hooks. The main diameters of leashes do not exceed 0.1 mm, and often even thinner. The most common sizes of hooks are 16-18 number according to the European classification. The thinner the hook, the better the quality of bites and their realization. As the main fishing line, it is better to use braided lines that have almost no stretch and perfectly transmit even careful bites.

High-quality, balanced, light tackle, along with the skills of the angler creates a fantastic symbiosis that appears to be exciting fishing adventure. Once you've been there, you'll want to do it again. Enjoy this pleasure!
