Several
years ago, after a marriage and a birth of the child, I started to be
interested in fishing. Though fishing I loved since the childhood, but
only in the course of time it has grown from a simple hobby into
serious passion - "SPINNING". Now I carry myself into a category of
spinning-fans (all abrupt professionals sit in Kiev and laugh from
provincial fishermen). But in turn, as I am
professionally engaged with IT-tecnologies and system administration, I
have decided to develop this web site which would help both professional
fishermen and beginners in selecting a necessary fishing-rod.
THE SITE
http://rod.kvazarvps.com - is not a website, but the access web interface to my
database of spinnings. Initially as the spinning-fan I used simple
Chinese reels and telescopic spinnings worth $3-$5 and thought there is
no sense to buy such expensive toys. But as time went by, my reels
and spinnings became more and more expensive, and each time while purchasing
a new spinning I faced a problem: What to buy? How not to lose?
How to spend a little money for a good quality?
And each time it was necessary to surf tons of sites,
manufacturers and fishing forums. To choose 2-3 variants and then if it
is possible, to find a store and take these variants into hands - to
make a final choice. And I got an idea to grab out all spinnings
into a database, so then I’ll be able to make queries to get samples of
fishing-rods on any criteria, and to sort result by corresponding
parameters. Now the algorithm of a choice of a spinning for me and my
companions on-hobby has become simpler considerably, and also in times
has reduced time expenses.
ALGORITHM OF PURCHASE OF THE SPINNING
1 We run inquiry on the given site by a specific criteria -
basically, it is length, a casting and the price (personally I
recently interested in fishing-rod weight, but unfortunately, not all
manufacturers specify it on official sites).
2 Choose some candidates to purchase from.
3 Make a little research about them on forums and official websites (it
is not necessary to read info from online stores as the material is
everywhere almost the same).
4 We go to a regular store (if the price normal we grab a chosen spinning, try it and buy if we can’t wait any more.
5 Another option is to look for this particular chosen spinning online, and after the cheapest one is selected – to buy it.
HOW TO SEARCH ON THE SITE
1. Length (lenght) - it is possible to set an interval (on an example it from 231 sm to 270 sm
inclusive), is possible only bottom (top) an interval - then all spinnings more long
(more shortly) than 231 (270) sm
2. Bait weight (casting) - it is possible to set an interval from-to, and it is possible to
put only one weight - then all spinnings the given weight of a bait gets to whose interval
(here difference from sample on length). For beginners I do not recommend to put very wide
range - such spinnings do not happen (for example from 3-30) and if Chineses so write - that
do not trust them. Really: to put the maximum weight of time in 3-4 it is more from the minimum
weight (For example 4-14, 7-28, 15-45, etc.)
3. Action (action) - I do not recommend to put, as the data undertook from sites of manufacturers,
and the sensation of a fast, middle and slow spinning at all a miscellaneous, at
firms-manufacturers too is subjective.
4. Weight (weight) - it is possible to set the maximum restriction on weight, but
not at all manufacturers I have found weight of their fishing-rods (if official representatives
can give such information I will it is grateful), therefore there are many zero on weight...
5. The price (price) - here a principle of search such as well as at length. I sell nothing, and
the price rough, are taken from different sites, including from Japan (yens). Therefore in
Ukraine can differ depending on impudence of the seller; - (
SORTING AND NAVIGATION
I think, here all is clear, if it is not clear, that is the method scientific click
Though is not present, by pressing a concrete series - you will get on the detailed
description of this series
At prompting of the cursor of a mouse for the corresponding mark - from above there will
be a concrete picture of the given series
Aha one more, the site works on all separate abilities of the monitor, but to have
1024х768 or more is better, browsers the Opera, Mozilla and ІЕ 7.0 is better.
ІЕ 6,0 and the lowest work - but in process of the limitation and not observance to standards,
something do incorrectly (for example at scroll the screen incorrectly position a spinning
picture).
BRANDS, THE MENU AND SERIES
It is possible to reach to a certain spinning and through the left menu
For example to look at all fishing-rods of the manufacturer (we press All G. Loomis),
the set type (we press Spinning) or a concrete series (it is pressed Steelhead Classic Spin)
the Note - if you did search for any criteria before, the inquiry will display only those
fishing-rods which respond these criteria in the given brand. Thus, for example, to reconsider
all spinnings of a concrete series, a concrete brand, it is necessary to make repeated inquiry
with empty parametres and then to go To the menu
THE FUTURE
the Site is not a commercial project neither advertising. I simply respect people who love
the nature and a spinning (all cought fish we let go, lol). Successes all
Meanwhile to add in database I will be nothing - there is no time it is necessary to finish phd work.
Who wishes to help to develop the project write on mail:
