Boat for trolling: how to choose materials, dimensions

Trolling - type of fishing, which is popular thanks to a fascinating process and the possibility to obtain in a short period of a significant catch. It boils down to the fact that on the territory of open water areas, using boats or motor boats on a quiet track with a few flexible solid rod takes place a massive catch predatory fish.

Special tools are used to take and bury the body away from the chosen bait vessel - outriggers and downrigger, and for holding the rods - comfortable for simultaneous fishing for a couple of spinning design - Holder. For marine fish catch - tuna, sturgeon and other species using speedboats.

For a successful fishing for pike, catfish and perch family fish in coastal areas, lakes and rivers make better use of frame or engine inflatable vessel that can go to the quiet move. Selection of a suitable and economical inflatable boat motor to it - the need, which is to pay close attention to how and strong tackles or the right bait.

How to choose a boat for trolling

• warranty service - the availability, cost and terms;
• ease of use and transport;
• value for money and quality of the goods;
• Parts cost and small maintenance;

Special attention is given especially the ship's structure, making it suitable for regular trolling:

• the size;
• material;
• the bottom of the form;
• type of flooring;
• the balloon and the size of the cockpit;
• seams;
• seats (Banks);
• transom;
• supplies and accessories;

dimensions

The boat for two in an average of 3.5 meters in length. If fishing is expected in the small expanses of water, the boat will suit smaller, but comfortable and fall. It is worth remembering that the nominal capacity of the inflatable boat is higher than the actual working volume.

Hoping to download the desired quantity of the catch, do not focus on these items, as they are not physically able to fit in the cockpit. Counting the amount of fishing inflatable boats, it is important to remember that the seaworthiness, speed and security depend on the capacity of the motor.

Also load plavserdstv cylinders determined value. High side at a small area of ​​floor space is reduced, and a larger boat, with the same volume of cylinders, capable of accommodating a superior amount of cargo and passengers.

materials

The choice of material of construction of the inflatable boat for an intensive fishing, important for safety and long life of the boat. Modern inflatable boats are made of Hypalon (chlorosulfonated polyethylene) or from polyvinyl chloride.

The first wear-resistant even under constant mechanical contact with the surfaces, ultraviolet light and chemicals. But it is more expensive than a boat made of PVC, which is cheaper and easier repaired.

The density of the material determines the size, capacity, weight and practical use of the boat - the denser the material, the more reliable in operation inflatable boat designed for heavy gambling trolling.

For safety it is better to deal with a repair kit and pump, because the material can accidentally snag or puncture the sharp fin of big fish.

Bottom

Serious factor when choosing an inflatable boat designed for trolling. It is equipped with a flat or keel. Flat-bottomed vessel less stable at high speed and movement are affected by strong winds and waves.

The advantage of inflatable boats with flat bottoms - resistance during parking and the ability to quickly go to hydroplaning. They are cheaper, and this design is simple compared with swimming agents with keel-shaped bottom.

Keel inflatable boats have along the outside of the bottom of the additional cylinder, which when filled with air takes a V-shape. They are stable in motion, easy to operate at high speed and easily cut by a smaller wave resistance. But to return to the position of a planing boat needs a strong engine.

type of flooring

The inflatable boats used for trolling, is different - pinion, rigid and inflatable deck. On this depends the convenience and speed of movement of swimming means.

The easiest type of flooring - battenConsisting of aluminum or plywood strips inserted in special pockets and hold the pressure in the cylinders. This is the easiest way to give additional rigidity to the bottom and, at the same time, it is very inconvenient, since rail interfere comfortable movement, getting tangled in the legs.

Hard type of flooring is made of aluminum, sometimes plywood frame. It ensures comfortable use and the smooth running of the swimming facilities at high-speed driving on the water.

The aluminum frame has proven durability and low weight, but is deformed at frequent and intensive use with engines having a high capacity.

Advantages are inflatable deck that consists of two layers of modern sealing material connected kapron strong filaments. The thickness of a few centimeters is comparable to the density plywood profile and ensures greater the buoyancy of the boat, the protection of people in it and the relatively comfortable conditions of being inside.

Inflatable deck using an automatic pump allows you to quickly inflate or assemble the boat and does not require a separate special places to transport solid or split frame rails.

Balloon

patency swimming means, the greater the volume - the better. But the increase in the size of the container, while maintaining the size of swimming means leads to a reduction in capacity cockpit, which is very impractical when calculating a plurality of gear and equipment used in large catch.

Besides, the tank affects the sail an inflatable boat and, consequently, the ability to maneuver. The working volume of the cockpit influence and shape the design of the boat. Blunt nose portion, due to the width, able to accommodate more items than acute.

With a significant departure reduced performance boat management. Therefore preferable to use a boat with balloon construction with downwardly bowed shape. Work internal volume depends on the height of the banks - the lower it is, the less the items fit in the gap between the bottom and the seat.

quality seams

It depends on the method of joining the base material - gluing or welding. Modern technologies and materials make the seams are equally reliable, but welding is considered to be more technologically advanced and durable option.

Manufacturers prefer to use both ways to connect. Choosing an inflatable boat for trolling, you need to carefully inspect the seams for the presence of defects - wrinkles, inflated and in good faith glued areas.

Qualitatively made seam looks neat, it is not twisted or bent excessively. It is also important to pay attention to the inset cylinders in the bottom of the boat. It is required to be performed on one level and does not contain excess folds and wrinkles.

In place of the bottom connection to the transom, with proper manufacture, free of any protrusions that will theoretically interfere with normal operation of the engine.

Seats (banks)

Made of reinforced plywood or plastic. They do not differ much, but when selecting a fishing boat for trolling, it is important to pay attention to the way seat mounting to the cylinder:

• alloy nest of polyvinylchlorid provide rigidity mounting due to the air pressure in cylinders. When the depth of seating grooves may fall out of the slots. They can not be moved, because they permanently clamped between the beads;
• liktros-likpaz - a device consisting of a solid base which is fastened on the sides and specially shaped banks or special design laths seat bottom. It is installed in any suitable location for a comfortable fishing;
• belt loop with a can fastened therein tightening the inflated balloons, thereby achieving a certain rigidity.

The disadvantage of this method of placing stands a high probability that the seat will fly out of the loop in a critical situation.

Transom

An important element of a high-speed fishing boat, which is worthy of special attention when choosing a boat - how well it is made, and is glued to the design model.

commonly used waterproof plywood or aluminum frame to create a durable light transom. These materials are equally suitable for this goal, and their choice depends entirely on the personal preferences of the buyer.

To the transom is not damaged due to the interaction with the motor clamps, mounted on it a special protective metal cover. The transom is fixed at an angle of 10 degrees with respect to the vertical, for the best possible tilt motor and any model power.

Supplies and accessories

Designed for comfortable operation of the boat, or provide an opportunity to replace certain parts on the other. It is important that furniture was made of wear-resistant material, and accessories have aesthetic appearance and is simple to use.

Insignificant as it may first seem, little things provide comfort conditions for the use of an inflatable boat. Enclosing a sturdy handle is essential for carrying boats in the assembled state, because inflatable boat has a significant weight and volume.

Mounted in the aft drain hole prevents the accumulation of water trapped inside, which is poured out without necessarily turning the boat.

Going fishing, trolling providing both primary method of fishing, you need to prepare in advance the necessary tools and accessories, such as outriggers, downrigger and holders, holders spinning. They should be placed comfortably in the boat, without interfering with the movements of fishermen and the motor.

Equipment and size of the fishing swimming means must be proportional to each other.

Motor

An important factor in choosing an inflatable boat for heavy trolling is the possibility of equipping boats suitable for such purpose motor.

A specific type of fishing - trolling involves the use of a reliable motor boat to give the required travel speed. On inflatable boats it makes no sense to install a motor with a large capacity engine. Enough so that he confidently kept low revs.

Two - three horsepower ensures low fuel consumption and 7 - 10 kilometers per hour. That's enough for a successful catching fish on spinning a quiet move.

Choosing an inflatable boat for trolling in rivers, lakes or coastal sea lane, in addition to the technical specifications do not forget about the personal benefits.

Color, design form, the desire to constantly go fishing with two or three friends should also be considered. After fishing - a sport and a favorite activity that brings joy and positive emotions.
