Blade reels play a key role in jigging, especially in blade pole fishing where the balance between finesse and power is vital. Choosing the right rubber can reduce fish loss and increase the success rate of hook-ups. Solid rubbers are an excellent choice for smaller fish and tournament situations as they respond quickly and provide a stable grip. TackleBait has a range of solid gums to choose from to find the best solution for your particular method.
The rubber is one of the most important elements of a jigging rod, which has a direct impact on the quality of the jigging and the efficiency of the catch. Its function is to cushion the fish's outbursts and compensate for sudden loads, thus minimising the chances of hook breakage and line breaks. The variety of designs allows every angler to find the type that best suits his needs and target fish.
What is the difference between tube rubber and hybrid rubber?
Tube rubber has a hollow design, which gives it excellent stretch and makes it a safe choice for larger fish. Its softness means that it stretches gradually under sudden loads, putting less strain on the rig. Ideal for carp, carp or larger fish. Garbolino tube rubbers are long lasting, easy to lace and reliable in tournament conditions.
The hybrid rubber combines the advantages of the tubular and solid versions: excellent flexibility, high load capacity and increased retraction force. These rubbers are the perfect choice if you are looking for a variety of fish sizes or a universal solution. Trabucco 's hybrid rubbers are extremely popular with advanced pole and line anglers as they offer balanced performance in all situations.
Which length of jigging reel should I choose?
Your choice of rubber length will depend on the length of your jigging rod and your fishing style. In tournament fishing, shorter reels with a more intense retrieve are generally used, while longer types with more stretch may be preferable for everyday fishing. Sensas offers a range of tube and hybrid loaded rubbers in a variety of thicknesses and elasticities, so you can find the right rubber for any situation.
