How to make a do-it-yourself fishing tackle

All anglers start preparing for fishing even before the onset of the fishing season, although for many fishermen this season continues all year round: as soon as summer fishing ends, they immediately switch to winter fishing. Some, especially beginner anglers, have a question about what kind of tackle to make for summer fishing. This article will tell, how to make a snackhow to apply it in practice and possible alternatives.

Bottom fishing is mostly non-sport fishing, although feeder fishing is sport fishing. In this case, it all depends on the equipment used. With the help of a feeder, you can fish on ponds, lakes, small and large rivers. At the same time, you can catch both a huge catfish and a small roach.

To make a snack, you will need such materials

• A piece of board or plywood measuring 250x100x15 mm.
• Monofilament fishing line, 0,5 mm thick.
• Fishing line for the manufacture of leashes, 0,3 mm in diameter.
• Sinker and three hooks.
• A piece of rubber or foam.
• Saw on wood.
• Electric or hand drill.
• Sandpaper.
• Glue.

Manufacturing technology

1. First you need to take a piece of board or plywood of the indicated dimensions and make cuts so that you can carefully lay the board on the workpiece. Such cuts are made on both sides with a hacksaw for wood.
2. After that, on one side of the plank, a piece of foam rubber or rubber is glued to attach the hooks.
3. To fix the fishing line, one hole is drilled in the reel.
4. A weight of about 50 g should be attached to the end of the fishing line.
5. At a distance of 20 cm from the load, as well as from each other, leashes with hooks are knitted.
6. Finally, the fishing line is fixed with a drilled hole, and the hooks are stuck into the foam rubber or rubber. The tackle is ready for use.

Equipment for a snack

The zakidushka should be equipped, depending on the fishing conditions, as well as on the type of fish that you plan to catch. At the same time, the tooling technology remains the same, but the characteristics of the tooling elements change. The basis of any snack is a fishing line, a sinker, hooks with leashes, a reel, which can have a different shape and design.

For catfish fishing

A cape can have the following characteristics:

• As the main fishing line, you need to take a fishing line with a diameter of 0,6-2 mm or a fishing line.
• Accordingly, the leads will have a thickness of 0,5 to 1,5 mm.
• The weight of the sinker can vary between 130-150 g.

For catching carp

The equipment may be as follows:

• The main fishing line is not thicker than 0,3-0,4 mm.
• The diameter of the leashes is 0,1 mm smaller.
• The weight of the sinker is selected depending on the presence of a current (there is no current – 50 g, there is a current – 120-150 g).

For carp fishing

ЛIt’s better to have something like this:

• The thickness of the fishing line, not less than 0,5-0,6 mm.
• The diameter of the leashes is not less than 0,2-0,3 mm.
• It is better to take carp hooks No. 10.. No. 12.
• The weight of the sinker is not less than 50-70 g.

For bream fishing

• The diameter of the main fishing line is 0,4-0,5 mm.
• Leashes are better to use fluorocarbon, with a diameter of 0,4 mm.
• Sinker, weighing 120-150 g.

For pike fishing

• The main fishing line, 0,4-0,6 mm thick.
• Leash – steel thread, 0,3-0,4 mm thick (or purchased).
• The mass of the sinker is selected based on the fishing conditions.

Hook selection

The main requirements for choosing hooks are their sharpness and reliability, as well as their size. The size of the hook is selected from the size of the fish that you plan to catch. The main thing is that it fits in the mouth of the fish. As for sharpness and reliability, it is better to give preference to foreign samples. You should not choose very small hooks, as they are problematic to work with. The hook size should be optimal.

Bait

Catfish: creeps, frogs, live bait, mussels, earthworms, chicken giblets, etc.

Crucian: maggot, worm, corn, barley, bloodworm.

Pike: live bait or artificial bait.

Carp: green peas, corn, potatoes, boiled peas, wheat, barley.

Bream: hominy, mastyrka, peas, worm, maggot.

Lure

For more effective fishing, anglers use bait. It is needed for bottom fishing. To this end, all bottom gear is supplied with feeders. This may be the most common snack, but with a feeder, which also plays the role of a sinker. Otherwise, the tackle is no different from the usual bottom tackle.

In the presence of a feeder sinker, leashes with hooks can be attached in various ways: it can be before the feeder, after the feeder, or to the feeder itself. The main thing is that in the process of fishing, leashes with hooks do not cling to the feeder, especially when casting.

The composition of the bait depends on what kind of fish you plan to feed in the process of fishing.

Bream

Like any other fish, it loves its bait, with its own flavors. The main composition of the mixture should include both small components and large ones that can keep the fish at the fishing point for a long time. At the same time, you should not get too carried away with bait so that the fish do not get enough prematurely and leave the feeding place. For fishing on the river, we can recommend the following composition of bait:

• 200 g of cake (sunflower cake);
• 100 g breadcrumbs;
• 200 g of sprouted peas;
• 200 g boiled oatmeal;
• 3 teaspoons ground coriander;
• clay.

The consistency of the bait should correspond to the conditions of fishing. A lot depends on the flow. If there is a current, then the viscosity of the bait should be such that it is washed out within 5-10 minutes. This is if the water is warm and the fish are active, and if the water is cold (autumn), then the rate of leaching of bait should be reduced. In other words, the bait should be more viscous.

In bait, you can add various flavors, both natural and artificial. As for natural flavors, there are no particular problems, but with artificial ones, you need to be very careful. The slightest overdose can hurt, and instead of luring the fish, it will scare them away.

Pike

According to the generally accepted opinion, it is impossible to feed a pike, but it is not indifferent to the smell of blood. Many argue that if you add a little fresh blood with clay to the bait, then this will certainly interest the predator.

Carp

There is no single recipe for bait for carp fishing, but everyone knows that he loves corn very much. Corn is prepared as follows: first, it is soaked in water for a couple of days, and then boiled over low heat for an hour or an hour and a half. During the cooking process, you can add 1 or 2 teaspoons of sugar or any other flavor or flavor enhancer to it. It should be remembered that the colder the water, the more flavoring is required. To prevent the carp from becoming satiated quickly, sand or coastal soil is added to the bait. Once in the water, these components will create a kind of cloud that will definitely interest the fish.

Catfish

For grafting catfish, as a rule, components of animal origin are used. It is better to use what a person does not eat. Basically, these are chicken offal or the remains of another bird. The liver works well because it has a specific smell. Not bad results are obtained by additional processing, such as smoking or frying.

Crucian

The taste preferences of crucian carp are ambiguous and depend on various factors, including weather conditions. A big role in the choice of bait is played by such a factor as the presence of other species of fish in the reservoir. If you plan to catch pure carp, then the bait should be prepared for carp. In order not to attract smaller fish, you should prepare bait with a minimum amount of small fractions. If only crucian is found in the pond, then the task can be simplified and any number of small particles can be introduced into the bait, as they attract fish. Bait for crucian carp can consist of pearl barley, corn, wheat, peas, from which various types of cereals are cooked. Raw ingredients can also be added to cooked cereals, in the form of corn and wheat chips, as well as cereals and breadcrumbs.

Drop fishing technique

The first step is to find a suitable place on the shore of the reservoir. To fish for a snack, you need a clean, spacious place, without any thickets, both on the shore and in the water. It is very important that the fishing line is not tangled, otherwise it will not work to throw the tackle without problems. When using a throw, it is better not to put more than 2 or 3 hooks, as they will interfere with casting. Before casting, you need to check that the second end of the tackle is fixed on the shore.

Usually anglers make a reel in such a way that one end can be stuck into the ground. After installing the bait on the tackle, it can be cast. This is done quite simply. To cast further, the centrifugal force that occurs when the sinker rotates around its axis is used. When throwing, it is advisable to check that no one is nearby. Other methods can be used to throw gear, but everything must be done very carefully. Zakidushka has one, significant drawback – it is problematic to use it in the dark or in low light. Many anglers use artificial light sources, but they do not really solve the problem.

Various nods or bells can be used as a bite signaling device. It all depends on the imagination of the angler, his skills and capabilities.

Due to its ease of manufacture and use, the fisherman has been successfully used by amateur fishermen to this day.
