The complete balance of the bait cast fishing setup is maintained by either one, as they both specify the position of the bait basket and the hook line, to prevent the hook line from wrapping itself around the fishing float and the main line.
This makes the separators optimal tools for effective long distance bait cast fishing utilizing bait baskets. The differences are the intricacies of their individual design. The L-Shape separator is the easier one to form and make.
A loop is formed at the top for attachment to the main line, another loop at the bottom to set the bait basket, after forming two twists around the stainless steel rod above that, the base at the bottom of the arm is angled downward for the final loop to set the hook line.
The three loops of the separator are closed loops. It is nearly impossible to form the loops for both the main line and the hook line without tiny gaps at the end points. It is best to solder the ends of these loops to prevent the hook line from sliding into the tiny gaps or use substitute measures.
As for the Hybrid L-Shape separator, its name is simply a label that I have given it. The shape is an 'L' upon completion, but aside from this there are few similarities with the basic L-Shape separator except for the final closed loop which is used to set the hook line.
The major differences with the Hybrid L-Shape are no twisting of the stainless steel rod around itself is required, and the bait basket loop is not closed. To use this design, start shaping at the bottom of the stainless rod to form a slot to slide the bait basket into through its loop.
It is necessary to have at least a half-inch neck (sleeve) before the loop of the slot in order to secure the bait basket. After completion, work up to the top loop for attachment to the main line which will ideally be three-and-a-half to four inches above.
This is an open loop, which means to shape it like a miniature lollipop above a parallel staff, as the shaping will proceed downward. Go down to a point slightly above the bottom of the completed loop for the bait basket on the other side and make an outward bend of at least 45 degrees.
Increase the angle if the base is to go downward before making a closed loop for the hook line. With this Hybrid L-Shape separator design, a rubber or plastic tube that shrinks with heat is needed.
The tube is required to cover the gap at the opening of the slot to slide in the bait basket and to enclose the gap between the parallel staff leading to the main line loop at the top. The tube comes in various widths so it will be easy to insert it over the top loop.
A tube length between two and two and a half inches is ideal. Heat from a lighter will fit and shrink the tube. Slide the tube up to insert the bait basket and down to cover the gap after this.
A corrugated tube that can be expanded and collapsed along the separator is ideal, but this type may be hard to find. Substitute with a basic tube that shrinks with heat if the corrugated type is not available.
The Hybrid L-Shape separator is an optimal tool that specifies the position and balances the setup of the bait basket and hook line. Expect a result of longer casting distance with less setup trouble to enhance enjoyment and performance while bait cast fishing.
Random Informative Fishing Tip #1: Can Low-Priced Fly Fishing Waders Be Just As Good As The Expensive Ones?
For those of you fishermen that need to actually go into the water, whether be it for traditional of fly fishing, being wet would not be a very good idea when it's cold. You are the unique fishermen or women that need fly fishing waders to venture out into the water during any season.
They have many distinct advantages such as keeping you warm and dry. There are some situations where you may not need waders to wade into the water, but for most cases, you can always use fly fishing waders to get into the water.
Another added use for them is for waterfowl hunters. These can oftentimes be the same waders you use for fishing. So you can have a two for one sort of deal just by buying a certain type of waders.
The waders I am mainly talking about are chest waders; to me they are safer than just hip waders. There is nothing wrong with either though.
Hip waders are cheaper and if you may not be going into deeper water, then that might be the way to go. Any of these types of waders are available online.
Fly fishing waders usually range price wise from about twenty five to about one hundred and fifty dollars. Depending on if they are camouflage or not, and what exactly they are made from. That is completely up to you to decide what you want specifically on your fishing waders.
Many of the fishing waders now are breathable as well, so that is another added bonus of the new fly fishing waders that are available out there. So if you fishing cold water or weather, or you need to wade into the water to reach those fish, you may want to buy some fly fishing waders.
