Mormyshki

— mormyshkas are similar in design to jig heads — they also combine a hook and a sinker attached to it. The main difference is that in mormyshkas the hook itself is noticeably smaller in size relative to the sinker. In addition, the sinker in such gear is often painted completely or on one side — to give it the maximum resemblance to the food object.

The use of mormyshkas also differs markedly from jig heads. Firstly, this type of bait is used not only with spinning rods, but also with other types of rods. In particular, it is quite popular in winter ice fishing; and in spinning rods, jigs are used as jig heads when fishing with nano-jigs on silicone lures up to 1 inch. imitate the behavior of a food object).

In general, modern mormyshkas are very diverse: in addition to the shape and colour of the sinker, they can vary in size, number of hooks and the way they are attached, the way they are fixed on the fishing line, etc. Detailed recommendations on the use of such gear can be found in special materials.
