In our waters, the most efficient decoys in the morning and to the dusk usually are the models with finished `glow' (fluorescent) with colors like ex. rose or green-lemon in the coasts. On the other hand, the models with holographic colors along with a blue, pink back, orange and green-lemon, have been generally most effective for the day and under conditions with enough sun and illumination in general.
A special variant against this background is the fishing of the territorial fish that colonize the bottoms of sea.

For this modality in special (bottom fishing), great killing decoys are shads of smooth plastic (such as the Giant Jigging Shads de Storm) that imitates the food of those predators perfectly. In this modality, the Shad is left falls to the proximity of the bottom where they take root ex. there great the mere ones (groupers), and later are begun to jig same a little above the bottom (that is to say, without bringing the decoy of return for the surface). Care, these fish quickly become to their cavities (hiding places) and/or cut the line with rocks - and it is always necessary to have the brake of closed spool almost 100%.

It is recommended that the fisherman always takes to two equipment of fishing with himself for the vertical fishing - an equipment that has a spool (ex. Quantum Cabo 40/60 pts, so large Shimano 8000, so large Daiwa 4500 or Van Staal VS150, or a its equivalent) with capacity for about a 200-300 meters of multifilament (braided) with a resistance of 40/60 pounds and other still more resistant equipment (ex. Quantum Cabo 80 pts, Shimano Stella 20,000, Daiwa Saltiga 6000 or Van Staal VS250, or its equivalent ones) with capacity for about a 200-300 meters of multifilament with a resistance of 80/100 pounds.

The spools type spinning - of unanimous form - are recommended by the great majority of the vertical fishermen, by its ergonomics and its great efficiency for this modality. Use of a fight belt (rod belt) highly is recommended to avoid bruising of skin and to facilitate the fight with the great and strong submarine fish. Also, it is evident that the tools in the Series Pro Guide Lock' n Weigh (special pliers of subjection of fish) of Rapala - among others of the same mark - are more than practitioners in this discipline.

Upon this, one gets used to using a relatively heavy leader of fluorocarbon (0.90mm-1.40mm) between 2 and 10 meters, since fluorocarbon arrives to be almost invisible in the water, it eliminates the vibration of the multifilament and with its high resistance to the abrasion, it protects the main line. , The more in short clear it is the water - longest and fine it must of being the leader of fluorocarbon. Here my strong recommendation would be the line of Rapala Fluorocarbon that we finished introducing to the international market.

The canes must of being relatively short and light (to facilitate the work of the fisherman) and super-resistant - like for example the Rapala Platinum Jigging (RPBPL58SJ6, RPBPL58SJ8, RPBPL58CJ8 & RPBPL58CJ10) elaborated with components of last generation. In Brazil, these models are the canes most popular and quoted for this modality of fishing at the moment (obs. the canes of Rapala for the modality of jigging widely are illustrated in this report) and are used perfectly for trolling - it fishes coastal (in Shore) - also. It is worth the trouble to observe that the canes of Rapala are armed with grips (ends) enough made lengths of foam of polyurethane EVA of HD - what comes being an element still more falsified that the traditional cork - providing more sensitivity and comfort for the fisherman.

Until fishing with local guides of fishing 100% professionals and a great experience, the boats must have soundings (fish to finder) powerful as much to discover to the great fish in the depths like a the migratory fish in a variety of waterproof cloaks. Be worth to say that it is modality (of vertical fishing) is a so physical and heavy discipline that there is no a fisherman who can spend a day whole jiggging if there are no fish down… A good GPS also aid to mark the productive points but of fishing - something very useful for the next return of fishing - keeping great secrets that never are revealed nor for the best friend…
