Do-it-yourself fishing rod for winter fishing, photo examples

Making fishing tackle is not a bad idea that any angler will love. Fishermen are distinguished not only by their interest in the fishing process itself, but also in the process of making fishing gear and their accessories with their own hands. Most fishermen are engaged in the manufacture of all kinds of artificial lures, not to mention the winter streets. But not all fishermen are like that. Among anglers, there are those who do not go in cycles in manufacturing, but go to a fishing store and buy. Unfortunately, not every fishing rod purchased in the store meets the necessary requirements. Many anglers follow this path with only one goal – to get catchy and effective tackle. What can not be said about purchased products, despite the abundance of designs and their diversity.

Winter fishing rod with your own hands. Method number 1

This method is distinguished by its ease of manufacture, as well as the use of improvised materials for this. The main condition is the desire and small skills in owning a simple tool. If there is no desire, and there are no skills, it is better to abandon this idea, and go to a fishing store and buy a finished product.

To make a fishing rod with your own hands, you need to have: high-density foam and a thin metal plate, as well as:

• nichrome wire;
• thread;
• needle;
• lighter;
• x-ray film (you can use an unnecessary picture);
• file;
• Super glue;
• pliers;
• sandpaper.

The manufacturing technology of such a fishing rod

1. A piece of dense foam is taken. Its dimensions should correspond to the size of the fishing net float or take such a float as a basis.
2. Using a file, a groove for fishing line is made, about 2,5 mm wide. After that, the place of cut is cultivated with sandpaper to exclude the possibility of fishing line hooking on the structure.
3. After these operations, you should get something like this.
4. The next step is to make the whip. The material is an old telescopic fishing rod that has fallen into disrepair.
5. A metal strip is cut from the knee of this fishing rod, about 4 mm wide and about 25-30 cm long. It is necessary to cut with scissors for metal. In order not to injure yourself, the cut points are processed with a file and sandpaper. One end should be sharpened so that it is sharp. This can be done with a file.
6. The sharp end of the workpiece, through and through, pierces a foam blank. The sharp end of the whip will be the front end. The metal blank, with its rear end (blunt), should hide in the foam.
7. At the next stage, they are engaged in the manufacture of the front access ring. It is made from nichrome wire. To make the ring look like a ring, nichrome wire is wound around an object of a suitable diameter. It can be a nail, about 3mm thick, or an ampoule from a gel pen. You should get what you can see in the photo, only without the rubber gasket.
8. After that, the end of the whip is smeared with super glue. Then a guide ring is applied to the end and wound with ordinary threads. Fastening must be secure.
9. Particular attention should be paid to the manufacture of the nod. If somewhere there was an x-ray film, or rather an x-ray, then you can start making it. A thin strip is cut out of the film, at one end of which a roundness is formed that is larger than the width of the segment. To cut a nod, you can use ordinary scissors.
10. At the end of the nod, you need to make a hole so that you can pass the fishing line through it. This is done with a heated needle. After the hole is made, the place is processed with fine sandpaper to eliminate the sagging.
11. The next step is to put two cambrics on the whip. They must dress tightly. The material can be a nipple or insulation from the wire. With the help of these cambrics, the nod is attached to the whip. The result is an adjustable design capable of changing the flexibility of the nod. This is necessary in order to adapt to certain fishing conditions.
12. After installing the nod, it must be adjusted so that the edge of the nod protrudes beyond the cambric (rear) by 5mm, after which it bends up. After that, the nod is glued to the rear cambric, but before that, the gluing points must be degreased.
13. At the final stage, a fishing line is wound onto the foam base along the groove. It should be passed through the nod hole. After that, a bait is attached to the fishing line, which indicates the readiness of the tackle for use.

Having carefully studied the manufacturing technology, we can conclude that it is possible to get a simple but excellent fishing rod for winter fishing. To consolidate this information, it is proposed to watch the video.

In the next video you can see how quickly you can make another version of the fishing rod. A step-by-step viewing option is offered, using slides, which is shown and told in a very accessible way. Manufacturing does not require special skills and the use of scarce parts. Having tried simpler models, you can proceed to the manufacture of more complex designs.

Do-it-yourself winter fishing rod

Like most winter fishing rods, this one does not require special materials to make it yourself. But for this option, you will need to purchase a coil and two guide rings. The rest of the details are improvised materials that are a pity to throw away.

For the manufacture of fishing rods for lure is suitable:

• unnecessary janitor from the car;
• three wine corks;
• a tube from a brush or mop;
• coil;
• insulating tape;
• two tulips (guide rings);
• soldering iron, tin, acid.

Manufacturing process

1. You need to take a tube from a modern brush or mop, the diameter of which is suitable for bottle caps to fit into it.
2. Then you need to take and disassemble the old, unnecessary janitor from the car. To assemble the fishing rod, you will need springs that are under the elastic band. There should be two of them, but one is enough for us. This twig is suitable for a fishing rod as a whip.
3. We are preparing tulips and a coil bought in the store, as well as corks.
4. From the tube, which used to serve as a handle, a segment is cut off equal to the length of 3 plugs, plus a small margin.
5. In traffic jams, strictly in the center, you need to drill one hole, the diameter of which is slightly smaller than the diameter of the whip. The whip is alternately inserted into the hole and, together with the plugs, is installed in the tube. The result is such a blank, which is a half-finished fishing rod.
6. The next step involves soldering the guide rings to the whip. One ring is installed in the middle of the whip, and the other at the end. Soldering is done with solder and acid. You can use orthophosphoric acid, which is sold in hardware stores. Ordinary rosin can hardly do such a job with high quality.
7. In addition, a coil is taken and, with the help of electrical tape, is attached to the tube, which will now serve as a holder.
8. The result should be an excellent lure rod, which is used in winter fishing.

There is nothing easier to make than an ice fishing rod. This article is proof of that. As a rule, it can be assembled in a very short time from improvised materials.

Winter fishing is a continuation of summer fishing. Many fishermen, with the onset of autumn, stop going to water bodies, especially in winter, when ice already lies and access to fish is practically closed. But among the huge number of fishing enthusiasts, you can find anglers who continue this exciting activity in the winter. The most important thing is that you don’t need special gear for this, and a hand-made winter fishing rod can fit in your pocket. And if you do not use bait, but use mormyshki or spinners for sheer lure, then winter fishing is the most profitable fishing. The only problem is to get to the reservoir, as snow drifts and snowdrifts are possible. In addition, ice fishing can be very dangerous if you do not take precautions. You should not go out on the ice if it is not yet strong. Ice is also dangerous if it is under a layer of snow. As a rule, in such places the ice may be somewhat thinner than in open places.

Despite all the precautions, most anglers go out on the ice to make good use of their time, and at the same time catch fish. Winter fishing has a positive effect on the general condition of the human body, since such clean air cannot be found anywhere, and even more so within modern cities. Therefore, citizens, every weekend, try to spend time outside of modern metropolitan areas.
