The small river is a river from several meters wide (6-10) to 20-40 meters, or a little more. The main inhabitants of such rivers, taking into account hydrology, can be perch, pike, Chub, Chub, IDE , roach, bream, minnow. In this material, we consider the pike fishing spinning, with a bias on the pike large size. The main population of pike in small rivers are small and medium-sized individuals, weighing from 200-300 grams to 1.5-2 kilograms. On some rivers pike weight of 2 kilograms is rare, and such a copy is already captured. But there are also small rivers, which with larger rivers to spawn on the present serious instances. And if in such river sufficient fodder base, some of them can remain after spawning in the small river. My record for pike on the river Lopasnya (width 20-30 meters) was 5.5 kilograms.
Consider a set of gear for fishing on jig bait on a small river, which is likely to catch trophy fish ( 3-6+ kg). We need a rod length of 7.0-7.6 feet, with a test by weight of lures from 5-21 grams to 8-32 grams, with a sensitive tip and a powerful butt. Why such a spread on the power poles. Yes, the conditions on small rivers can be very different. Where is when you catch a trophy, nothing will interfere with his playing. And what that river will have to rip a fish out of driftwood or thick grass. Here are some useful excess capacity of the fishing rod. Weights of the weights used for jig fishing on small rivers lie in the range of 2-12 grams. To equip the silicone lure, it is possible to use jig heads, offset hooks or double hooks. It all depends on the purity of the bottom of a particular river. With the size of lures should not be shy. A reasonable minimum size would be 10 centimeters ( 3.8 inches). On average, you should focus on the size of the bait 4.5-5 inches. We want to seduce nastoyashuyu trophy pike! The coil-3000-4000 on lineup Shimano. Braided cord № 1.5-2 on the Japanese scale. Such a powerful cord should be used for the same reason - driftwood and grass, through which we may have to tear his trophy.
With such a powerful tackle and large baits you do not bypass the fish to bite and catching a fairly small, typical for small rivers, jacks. Still, they make up the vast majority of pike inhabiting such rivers. But in the case of a bite trophy instance you will be fully ready to fight!

I suggest you watch the video-story FishingStudio, in which Andrei Petertsov catches pike, including a very large, one of the small rivers of the Middle of Russia. Andrey tells in detail about his tackle, lures, choice of fishing places and other subtleties of fishing...
