What is the tenya accessory?
The tenya is a special form of weighthead used for fishing at soft bait. It is characterised by a head in the shape of a triangle or pyramid and a specific double hook. This fishing accessory is mainly used for sea fishing, particularly to catch predatory fish such as bass, meagre or sparid fish.
There are several types of tenya accessory, including :
- Classic weightheads, which allow the lure to be attached directly to the hook.
- Mounts with clips, which offer greater freedom in choosing and changing lures.
- Ready-to-fish tenyas, with a lure already attached for quick and easy use.
The benefits of using a tenya accessory for fishing
Optimising lure animation
One of the main advantages of the tenya accessory is its ability to optimise the animation of the soft bait lure. Thanks to its specific shape and double hook, the lure moves naturally and realistically underwater.
What's more, thelure's angle of attack can be changed depending on the position of the jig head on the hook. This makes it possible to adapt the animation of the lure to suit the fishing conditions and the preferences of the target fish.
Easy striking
The second major advantage of this accessory is the ease with which it can be hooked. The tenya's double hook makes it easier to hook fish on the strike, which considerably increases the chances of success. What's more, this hook reduces the risk of unhooking during the fight with the fish.
Versatility and adaptability
The tenya accessory is also highly appreciated for its versatility and adaptability. It can be used with a wide variety of soft lures, such as worms, prawns or swimming fish, and is suitable for beginners and experienced anglers alike.
Finally, its weight and shape allow you to adapt the presentation of the lure according to depth, current and fishing conditions. You can use a light tenya to fish shallow or rough areas, or a heavier model to reach greater depths.
How do you choose your tenya accessory?
There are several criteria to take into account when choosing your tenya accessory:
- Weight: this must be adapted to the fishing depth and weather conditions (current, wind).
- Hook size: this should match the size of the lure you are using and the fish you are targeting.
- Type of rig: this depends on your preferences and experience of fishing at soft bait.
- Quality of materials: choose weightstainless steel heads and corrosion-resistant hooks for optimum durability.
