What is sports spinning fishing?

Spinning is a sport that is considered the most exciting kind of fishing. Its peculiarity is that athletes catch predominantly carnivorous fish on fishing rods, using in the form of bait different types of artificial bait.

Here mining is a real trophy. The most valuable exhibit in the collection of fishermen is the deep predator - catfish.

Alexey Shanin

The object of our discussion today will be the biography of Shanin, who is one of the most successful athletes in a discipline such as sporting spinning. He more than once won for Russia prizes in the championships both in the team game, and in personal struggle. Alexey not only does "quiet hunting", but also maintains a blog where he discovers the secrets of fishing. There are a lot of videos with tips and colorful descriptions for the fishermen, the author of which he is.

Alexei Shanin (35 years old) - the most titled spinning in the world, a three-time champion born in the 80s of the last century in the city of Krasnodar, first took part in competitions when he turned 22. He forever remembered the spring of 2002, then in the Krasnodar Territory passed Competitions between fishermen of the Western and Kuban districts, this championship became for him the starting point in the world of sport fishing with spinning.

At his next competition, the then-unknown fisherman met Shushvalov Gennady and Artem Makartychan. Thanks to this meeting, he became friends with them and became a part of their team, which often won in the All-Russia and other competitions. It was the championship "Old Pike 2002" of the Krasnodar Territory, held near the town of Temryuk. Having reached the town, Alexei Shanin (twitching, by the way, his favorite style of fishing) walked 11 km on foot to Temryukchanka base.

In the "Old Pike 2002", where 102 fishermen participated, Shanin was in seventh place, this was an achievement for a man who participates in similar competitions for the second time in his life.

The third in total and the first championship, the participation in which Alex accepted, being in a team with Artem Makartychanom, also passed in his hometown of a spinning-master and carried the name "Kubanskaya Vesna 2002". Due to the fact that Shanin Alexei spent most of the time allocated for the competition, helped the participant with the boat turned over, and unfavorable weather conditions caused the premature end of the championship, the team could not win. However, Makartychan took the second place, catching 18 kilograms of fish.

In the summer of the same year, Shushvalov, Shanin and Makartychan and another team from Krasnodar went to the competition "Moscow Zori 2002. Opening of the season." Arriving for his money in the suburbs to the Ozerninskoe reservoir, the team realized that they would have to compete in completely new conditions, the dissimilarity of the reservoir with the Krasnodar reservoirs was appreciated by Alexei Shanin. Fishing promised to be interesting, since this pond did not spoil the fishermen with shallow water plants, on the contrary, in some places it was 20 meters from the surface to the bottom of the river. Time for training before the competition was not provided, so as not to allow athletes to explore the terrain prematurely. The Krasnodar people left their usual strategy unchanged and engaged in "quiet hunting" in shallow parts of the reservoir. This decision proved to be advantageous and brought the team in the first stage the second place, since the bulk swam to the shore, where at that time there were more small prey. Leaving the Muscovites far behind, the team of Alexei Shanin, Genadiy Shushvalov and Artem Makartychan was the first. What was the starting point of the way to the world of big sport.

Suppose he was in the national team and took the place of reserve, already in the second round, he replaced Vladimir Gabelev and became the owner of the first place, which raised the Russian spinners from the sixth position in the table and brought them a silver medal.

According to the rules, a pair of spinners is placed in each boat and a judge whose task is to monitor the weight and size of the caught fish and then let it go back to the water area. Each team was divided into 2 boats, that is, in the main lineup there should have been only four athletes and two in reserve.
