Calcola Spallinata

Assist in the preparation of spallinata for fishing with the Bolognese.

This program has the purpose to simplify the realization of a spallinata for fishing Bolognese, helping the user to draw the necessary parameters in order to calibrate the weight of the sinkers to the weight of the float and the desired length.

The system helps to calculate each parameter with the maximum precision, both in the case in which you wish to prepare the terminals at home, both in case you wanted to do this operation in the place where it is chosen to make the fishing trip.

The program also returns two possible solutions: either to realize a spallinata with sinkers equidistant, or to realize a spallinata "open", that is, with the seals that, while proceeding in the construction, come to be progressively more distant between them (this last solution is most prevalent among the fishermen). In addition, if the result was impossible to get, because the number of seals should be excessive in relation to length of spallinata, the program will give information, allowing you to vary any of the parameters (float weight, the weight of sinkers, length the spallinata) until you reach the optimal suction system definition.

Instructions:

Once you start the program you must enter in the boxes, in grams, the weight of the float that you want to use and that of the plummet that it was decided to employ. Wishing you could also enter the tare weight, that is all that will contribute as well to define the sinker weight (bait and various small parts); if you do not want to take account of the tare, the program considers it equal to zero and proceed the same way to calculate.

As the last parameter it enters the desired length of the monofilament (commonly referred spallinata) which must contain the sinkers.

After entering this data, click on the button "leads with equidistant" you can get the final result, which will indicate the number of seals to be used to calibrate the float and the distance required between a plumb line and the next to reach the length of the monofilament previously required.

If instead you would like to do a spallinata open-ended, that is, with sinkers progressively more distant from them, you must add an extra parameter which is also expressed in centimeters: the "distance of progression." The program at this point, by clicking on "with lead climbing", will inform us of the number of leads necessary to calibrate the float and the distance to be maintained between the first and second plummet; for each subsequent plummet need to add at this distance centimeters that have been shown in the distance of progression; so it reaches the desired length of spallinata.

Example: if the "distance of progression" we had inserted 1 and in result we had as "total number of leads" 7 and as "distance between the first and second lead" 4, then it would mean that between the first and the second lead should maintain a distance of 4 cm, between the second and the third a distance of 5 cm (ie, the previous distance + distance of progression), between the third and fourth 6 cm (that is, the previous distance + distance of progression), and so on, until to the last perfectly plumb reaching the fixed length.

Finally, clicking on the virtual button in the upper and preceded by the words "clears everything", you can restore all your data and make a further calculation for the construction of a new spallinata.

All steps involved in the program are still retrievable by clicking the virtual key "help".
