Necessary homemade products for fishing and tourism. Fishing tricks and crafts: interesting ideas and recommendations. It's been a long time since you had a really big catch

Fishing tricks and homemade products that exist today can be divided into several categories, each of which is distinguished by its practical application. In the first of them are various gear.

These can be products that successfully copy foreign analogues, the cost of which is simply fabulous, or real inventions of fishing enthusiasts. This group includes floats and hooks, leashes and spinners, donks, mormyshkas and much more.

- increase the shelf life of fish in hot weather; - dress properly so as not to freeze on ice in winter; - save bloodworms and other bait by placing it in special containers.

So, what are the most popular fishing tricks and crafts that are made from improvised materials?

DIY silicone lures

In the process of fishing, some silicone lures lose part of their bodies, and it is a pity to throw them away after that. If you collect several processed silicones, then you can make new working baits from them.

In the prepared container, gypsum is diluted to a state of thick sour cream. After that, old vibrotails or twisters are dipped into the solution to get templates, after the gypsum has hardened, the baits are removed very carefully so as not to damage the mold. If there are any irregularities, then they are smoothed out with a sharp thin object.
The form prepared in this way is thoroughly greased. The most suitable option is sunflower oil. This is necessary so that the finished product does not stick to the mold during the manufacturing process.
All mold casting operations should be done outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.
Old, used silicone products are crushed into pieces and placed in a dish that is heated on a stove. So that the silicone does not burn, it must be stirred regularly, while the fire should be at a distance of 15-20 cm from the silicone container. If dyes are added to silicone, then you can get the bait of the desired color, and if you add flavoring, then this will already turn out to be edible silicone.
The well-heated and carefully mixed mass is poured into a mold. If you plan to get a two-color bait, then each new layer is poured after the first layer has dried.
After about 15-20 minutes, when the silicone has cooled down, the finished bait is removed from the mold, the mold is cleaned, lubricated with sunflower oil and the process is repeated.

Crucian, the average carp that most anglers catch, prefers the bait from semolina prepared according to a special recipe.

Recipe for making a catching nozzle for crucian carp:

Water is poured into the dishes, a couple of drops of flavoring are added, and brought to a boil.
Semolina is poured into boiling water with constant stirring. The result should be a homogeneous thick mass.
The fire is turned off so that the porridge cools down and steams out.
Upon reaching room temperature, the porridge is kneaded with hands to obtain even greater density.
After that, the porridge is wrapped in several layers of gauze.
It is not recommended to wrap porridge in polyethylene.

Balls are well molded from the finished porridge, after which they are put on a hook.

The recipe for making porridge bait in a cold way:

Water from the reservoir is collected in a suitable dish and a little flavor is added.
After that, semolina is added to the dishes with active stirring.
As a result of active stirring, a homogeneous mass should be obtained. The readiness of the bait is checked as follows: if the spoon with porridge is lifted up and turned over, then the porridge should remain in the spoon.
Stirring is stopped and the porridge is left for 10 minutes to swell.
In conclusion, you need to take a syringe and fill it with porridge.

The porridge from the syringe is squeezed out onto the hook in a spiral so that the sting of the hook closes last.

This fish is one of the most popular among professionals and novice fishing enthusiasts, as it lives in almost every reservoir. You can ensure a successful pastime with a fishing rod if you use a few tricks for catching crucian carp.

This mixture is pre-wetted. This allows her to settle to the bottom of the reservoir. The crucian does not peck very actively when using the usual dough on grain flour. To remedy the situation, you can add a little tincture of valerian to complementary foods.

One of the unusual ways to get an excellent catch is singeing the hooves of cattle on a fire. Still smoking, they are thrown into the water, which contributes to an excellent bite.

That is why hooks are taken on short leashes and then hidden in the bait, located in feeders made from bottle caps, as well as from a wire twisted into a spring with a concave lead plate. During feeding, the crucian swallows the bait, and with it the hooks.

Toothbrush poppers

Poppers, which are also called walkers, being surface baits, should not sink. Only a slight melting is permissible. What kind of material can be used that will keep well on the water?

These are toothbrushes that are first tested for buoyancy. To do this is quite simple. It is enough to fill an ordinary bucket of water and throw a brush into it. It should stay on the surface and not sink.

The work is done using a small grinder with interchangeable nozzles, which looks like a micro grinder. Making this tricky fishing tackle begins with sawing off the bristle part from the brush.

The resulting edge should be processed with a sandpaper nozzle. You will need to make a small hole in the top and bottom. It is necessary for fastening the tee with a ring with a swivel. Next, the homemade bait needs to be tinted.

Colors should certainly be bright, such as green and red. Tees are inserted into the almost finished product. If you test the resulting design in the bathroom, it turns out that due to the large weight it is pulled to the bottom.

Do-it-yourself wobbler

Any spinning player wants to have a good, catchy wobbler, but not everyone can afford to buy one. As a rule, wobblers are expensive baits, especially if they are related to well-known manufacturers.

In this regard, some anglers have mastered, and very successfully, the manufacture of wobblers at home. This is a very interesting and exciting process that does not require special equipment and tools.

To begin with, you should decide on the shape and color of the future bait. To do this, you will have to do art and draw a sketch of the future wobbler on paper. Regardless of the material of manufacture, the wobbler is made of 2 symmetrical parts. A reinforcing wire should pass inside them.
Styrofoam can also serve as a material for manufacturing, but it is not as durable as wood or plastic. Therefore, taking the necessary material, they are engaged in the manufacture of blanks.
From thin stainless steel, fasteners for the ring and tee hooks are being prepared. Mounts are mounted in specially cut out places placed on the body of 2 halves of the lure. the two halves are joined with glue. After the glue dries, a cut is formed for the front blade, after which it is rigidly attached using the same glue.
After that, the wobbler should be configured based on personal preferences.
All recesses or voids left on the bait are sealed with epoxy, after which the bait is sanded and prepared for painting. Painting is also carried out depending on the presence of your own imagination.

At the first stage of manufacturing the future bait, its body is machined with a cutter. After that, the resulting workpiece is processed first with coarse, and then with fine sandpaper. In this case, the wobbler will turn out smooth and will not have any burrs.

The product will require mounting loops, which can be made from a cornice string. The wire is bent in the form of a slightly sinuous letter "P" (to hold better). In addition, for strength, one end of the letter should be slightly longer than the other.

Wobbler must have a certain weight. That is why they load it, inserting a small tin plate into a cut triangular recess in the abdomen.

At the next stage, the wobblers are painted with gouache. In the most critical places, it is advisable to use a gel pen, which will give clarity to the color. After that, the bait should be varnished in 2-3 layers.

The blade is inserted last. It can be made from unnecessary computer disks on one side of which the paint was removed with a needle. Next, a cut is made in the disk with a manual jigsaw and the part is inserted into the wobbler.

Plastic bottle feeder

For those who constantly fish from a boat, it will be useful to have a simple but effective feeder. It is useful if you have to fish on a river where there is a current. To do this, you will need the following elements:

a piece of plastic sewer pipe;
two fasteners;
lead;
electric drill;
rope, rivets;
loop and lock.

A piece of pipe is taken, up to 30 cm long, and plugs are installed on both sides. One of them is installed deafly, and the other in such a way that it can be easily removed. After that, holes are drilled over the entire surface.

On the reverse side, where the plug is rigidly fixed, the weights should be fixed.

The feeder sinks to the bottom on a rope and stays there until the end of fishing. Thanks to the drilled holes, the bait is slowly washed out of the feeder, which allows you to keep the fish at the fishing point.

When fishing on a feeder, hooks very often occur, and as a result, the loss of an expensive feeder. Many anglers, for fear of losing the feeder, refuse to fish in promising places. In order not to be afraid of losing it, you need to learn how to make this consumable yourself.

So, a feeder for a feeder from a plastic bottle:

To make such a feeder, it is advisable to take a green plastic bottle, and then cut off the bottom and neck.
The resulting workpiece should be cut into fragments, 6x13 cm in size.
The existing blanks are rolled into a cylinder with an overlap of up to 1 cm and fastened with a clerical stapler.
A piece of sheet lead of a certain mass is attached to the side surface where the feeder is fastened. On a piece of lead, you need to fix a loop from a paper clip.
A soldering iron is taken and holes are made in a checkerboard pattern around the entire perimeter of the feeder.
A swivel is inserted into the loop.

The feeder is ready for use. As can be seen from the technology, losing such a feeder will not be so offensive, since its cost is cheap, and a huge number of them can be made.

Therefore, in order not to spend extra money for fishing, it is better to spend a little time and strain your imagination, especially since there is a sufficient amount of used materials that may well come in handy on the farm.

In addition, no expensive equipment or tools are required, an elementary set is enough, in the form of a soldering iron and a stapler. As practice shows, the result will always be the same, and the costs will be much less.

Do-it-yourself spinner

It is not at all difficult to make a spinner yourself, if you have at least some skills in working with tools and materials. For its manufacture you will need:

ordinary paper clip;
tee (hook);
metal plate, 0.5-1 mm thick;
not a big bead;
piece of sheet lead;
tools: file, pliers, needle files, scissors.

First, on a piece of cardboard, you need to draw the shape of a petal for the future bait, after which the drawing is transferred to the metal. Scissors are taken and a petal is carefully cut out of a piece of metal. After that, the cut petal is processed with a file so that there are no burrs.

Two holes are drilled along the edges of the petal (one from each edge) and processed with needle files. The places where the holes are drilled must be bent 90 degrees in relation to the petal. Then you need to take the wire and align it, and at one of its ends you need to form a loop and fix the tee.

After that, a petal and a bead are put on the same wire, after which, a loop is again formed at the end of the wire for attaching the fishing line. Moreover, the loop must be made so that it does not interfere with the free rotation of the petal.

The spinner requires adjustment by additional loading. The lead weight is placed between the tee and the tab. Again, you need to calculate everything correctly so that the load does not interfere with the rotation of the petal. The last step is painting the petal.

Fishing tricks and crafts for fishing can be crafted from just about anything. Sometimes even broken tweezers are used for this. By itself, this tool is of high quality and is made of stainless steel.

That is why it can serve as an excellent lure for pike perch. As you know, this fish is a predator, which is distinguished by a narrow throat. So the spinner is also needed not wide. Tweezers in this case are just perfect.

The next step is to drill holes. They are needed to attach fishing line and tee using swivels and rings. It should be borne in mind that this procedure is not easy. The selected material is strong enough, and a thin drill can even break during operation.

At the end of this stage, a tee is screwed on. It is better to do this from the heaviest side, otherwise the lure will not hold well in the water. For those who wish to give their product an aesthetic appearance, it is recommended to cut flakes on it.

There are already transverse layers on this piece of tweezers. It remains to make only a few longitudinal uniform cuts and a shiny lure for perch or pike perch will be completely ready for catching fish. It is worth noting that such homemade products are no worse than branded ones.

Saving the caught

After the fish has been pulled out of the water to the shore, it should be carefully (so as not to pinch the insides) to get rid of the hook. And if the prey was severely injured, then it should not be placed in a bucket with the rest of the catch. Such actions will lead to the fact that after a few hours all the fish will deteriorate in the heat.

Wounded prey must be killed and gutted, then wrapped in fresh grass (preferably nettle). It is better to store such fish in the shade, where it will be blown by the breeze and be cool. If there is no such place nearby, then the gutted prey should simply be salted.

Live bait trap

Arriving for fishing, you have to spend a lot of time catching live bait. The fact is that in the summer it is very difficult to store live bait: it quickly dies in any container, and the live bait must always be vigorous. A device made from 2 plastic bottles will help solve this problem:

A 2-liter plastic bottle is taken, in which the neck is cut off to half.
After that, the neck is cut off from the same side in the widest part.
The result is a piece that looks like a watering can.
The bottom of this bottle is cut off.
The second bottle is taken and the bottom is cut off from it, at a distance of 5-7 cm from the greatest thickness.
In conclusion, the structure is assembled together. The cut-off "watering can" is inserted back, but only on the contrary, with the thinnest section inward, after which the structure is firmly connected with artificial threads. Another bottle is taken and the cut end is put on the first bottle with a neck.
A weight and a rope are attached to the trap.

Saving the caught

For many fishermen, it is important to bring home a live catch. To do this, the fish must be stored in the water, while being in a kukan or in a cage. The mesh of the latter should not be metal, as the prey will attempt to get out into the reservoir, which will lead to severe injury.

You need to hang the cage in the shade, deepening it into the water so as to allow the fish not to fight against each other when swimming. In addition, in close quarters, the catch is in danger of self-poisoning by products released as a result of metabolism.

In winter, the most common tool for catching a predator (pike) is using vents. It turns out that it can be done quickly and easily:

The basis for its manufacture is a sewer PVC pipe, 32 mm thick. The pipe must be cut into segments, 10-15 cm in size.
All irregularities in the places of cuts are best processed with a file.
3 holes should be made in the pipe. Two holes are made on one side, one opposite the other, to install on a tripod, and one hole is made on the other side for the line stopper. Its diameter is 1 mm.
In the form of the letter P, a stopper for the fishing line is formed and threaded through a small hole. The stopper should not limit the free movement of the fishing line.
A ring is formed from a fishing line with a thickness of 0.4-0.5 mm, which is passed through two holes located opposite each other. This ring will serve as a kind of fastener. The vent is attached to a metal rod securely driven into the ice.
About 10 meters of fishing line is wound on a piece of pipe.
An appropriate weight and a hook, such as a tee, are attached to the end of the fishing line.

The zherlitsa is ready for use by the end of the pipe, red tape should be fixed at the point of suspension (attachment), which can serve as a bite indicator.

Homemade cage

This fishing item is offered by all specialized stores. However, if the cage is branded, then the price for it is set such that not every fisherman can afford to purchase it.

For the summer season, this accessory can be made independently. At the same time, it will be wide enough, long, and, if desired, folding.

You will also need a nylon mesh. The one that was previously used for windows as protection against mosquitoes will come in handy. A sock-like product is sewn from such a mesh. It should correspond to the diameter of the rings.

They need to wear such a sock and attach with small stitches. To keep the fish in the cage, you will also need a lid. It is made from a nylon mesh stretched over another wire ring. Small tricks must be used by the fisherman to fasten the entire structure.

They consist in the use of a nylon rope tied to the structure with a reliable knot. Otherwise, the cage with the catch may float away with the flow. And so that the prey does not go to the bottom, a small children's life buoy can be attached to the upper ring.

Make a float

This fish bite alarm is a typical do-it-yourself object: many today's anglers in childhood made a float from a goose feather or a bottle cap and took a homemade product to the pond.

Styrofoam;
plastic tube;
wood rod or bar.

For the manufacture of gear, you will also need pieces of wire, rubber bands and paint. The tool will fit any of the appliances available in the house.

Foam and cork melt - very sensitive, made in the form of a ball or drop. It is processed with a clerical knife and cleaned with an emery cloth. When the layout is ready, it is blown from dust and covered with paint, and when it dries, a hole is pierced in the center for the rod.

It can be from any thin-tube object of suitable size: a feather, a plastic straw for a cocktail, skewers for sandwiches. A loop of wire or an eyelet from a hook for threading fishing line is attached to the bottom of the axis.

The goose feather like a float behaves well on the wave, sensitive and easy to manufacture. To begin with, it should be cleaned of the awn without damaging the body. The top in the thinnest place is cut off, and a ring is attached to the bottom.

A float from a plastic tube is made by analogy with a goose feather. First, by soldering its ends, a resemblance to the pen core is achieved, and then all operations are performed in the same order.

And their position in relation to the surface is regulated by the selection of weights

And this does not mean at all that buying a float in a store is impossible because of its high cost. Many fishermen can afford to buy the best that a modern manufacturer offers. However, the peculiarity of fishing tricks and tackle made at home is that they are sometimes the most suitable option for successful fishing.

Similar gear made of goose feathers is good. This material is easy to find on any body of water that these birds prefer. Feathers lost by them sometimes just float on the surface of the water. It remains to bend down and pick up this unique natural material.

Everything unnecessary should also be cut off from its upper side. From below, that is, in the place where the feather should be attached to the skin of the bird, you cannot touch it. Otherwise, the resulting float will constantly get wet.

To perform these works, which will allow you to make the main part of the float, you will need a sharp clerical knife. After the work is completed, the product is painted in bright colors, which will allow it to be much more noticeable on the water.

In the cold season

For him, you will need a handle from an old umbrella and a sharpened metal rod. You can take an electrode from which the insulating layer is first knocked off. One end of such a metal rod must be sharpened and bent in the shape of a hook, and the other end flattened on an anvil.

These are two wooden handles, turned on a lathe, in each of which a sharpened steel pin is fixed with epoxy glue. These parts are interconnected with a rope, the length of which is 30-50 cm less than the height of the fisherman.

Many fishing tricks and homemade products, the ideas of which are presented above, have been actively used by anglers in many countries for more than a dozen years.

passion for craftsmanship

This passion for homemade fishing is inherent in every amateur fisherman, and no one regrets the time for this activity.

equipment elements;
accessories;
bait.

Most often, the subject of homemade fishing is precisely the components of the equipment of the fishing rod: a rod, a fishing line, a baited hook, a float and a sinker. You can’t really dream up with a fishing line, but with regard to other elements, there is a wide choice of implementing your ideas.

So, you can experiment in terms of length and material, the number of sections and rings, models of reels mounted on the rod. And the variety of imitators of live baits cannot be counted at all, they can be made in the form of various designs and colors.

Auxiliary equipment is fishing homemade products that help an amateur, for example, in the case of playing a large specimen, these include landing nets and gaffs, and cages or kukans for storing the catch.

And, finally, bait - here every self-respecting fisherman has his own secret component, which he keeps and will not give out to anyone. Very often, instead of ready-made bait, when preparing for fishing, they prefer to complete individual ingredients in order to prepare the mixture most suitable for the conditions already at the site chosen for fishing.

Production of basic tooling elements

You should start with a hook - of course, no one is going to do it on their own, but even a novice amateur knows that he tends to become dull over time. And sharpening sometimes has to be done in the field: someone just sharpens on a stone, and experienced fishermen always have a home-made grindstone with them.

The cause of fish leaving after a bite is often a blunted sting. To prevent such cases, it is necessary to periodically check the hook: a sharp one is easily stuck into the nail and fixed.

thin file;
zero sandpaper;
sharpener made of hard material with a groove for the size of the hook.

Accessory manufacturing

One of the necessary additional devices when catching large fish is a hook. For its manufacture, you can use old abandoned rods or handles from household household tools like a mop. The hook can be made from a suitable elastic wire or knitting needle.

The handle of the gaff is wooden, a hole is drilled in it on one side for the tube, and on the other - for attaching the cord. The latter is fixed in the hole by means of a threaded plug.
The tube is then inserted into the prepared groove in the epoxy-reinforced handle. A retractable insert of a smaller diameter is selected into the tube to create the length of the gaff - when folded it is 50 cm, and in the working state 90. Movement inside the tube should be free.
The hook is bent according to the size of the fish and is fixed on the retractable part with a bolted connection. As a rule, the bending value is in the range of 3–6 cm. A rubber tube is pulled onto the tip of the hook itself for safety.

bait

To prepare a mixture for fishing with your own hands, it is not necessary to purchase ingredients in a store - you can use those products that are available in the kitchen of the apartment. It is enough to be convinced of this by the example of the selection of bait components for bream. In order for food to be desirable for fish, you need to know the preferences of the future trophy.

the quantity and quality of the natural nutrient medium of the reservoir;
seasonality in terms of the predominant diet;
weather.

There are some fishing tricks for creating a composition for bait: when sifting the constituent products through a sieve, the mixture becomes aerated and free of lumps. Due to this, there is a faster dispersal of food in the casting zone.

Homemade bait for bream is usually made on cake, although rapeseed, pumpkin, hemp and flax seeds, as well as ground crackers or crushed, can be used for this purpose. It also includes bran as a baking powder when rolling feed balls.

Individual formulations for specific conditions

As mentioned above, the feed mixture must meet the specific conditions of fishing.

Summer mix to the lake - 300 grams of crushed crackers, bran and boiled millet. Toasted and ground sunflower seeds - 200 g. and a teaspoon of cinnamon powder. Use clay as a binder, adding it to the required density.
Summer mixture, but for the river - 200 g of sunflower cake, sprouted peas and boiled oatmeal, as well as 100 g of breadcrumbs. As a flavoring - 3 teaspoons of coriander powder.
Autumn bait - sunflower cake, crushed crackers, boiled rice and rye bran, all 100 g each. 50 each - bloodworm, maggot and finely chopped lard, add a teaspoon of coriander for flavor.
Homemade spring mixture for fishing is also made on the basis of sunflower cake (100 g) and 0.1 kg of rye bran and boiled millet are added. Feed bloodworms are attached 80 g and ground coriander - 2 teaspoons. To bind and dilute the mixture, clay is mixed with sand.

Fishing has long ceased to be a simple entertainment and hobby, for many men this is the time when they can relax, take a break from problems and focus on a complex but interesting process, and summer fishing crafts will help in this. Therefore, there are a great many ways to fish, as well as varieties of tackle for a rod, everyone selects them according to their own needs, and someone even creates several fishing homemade products for summer fishing. It can be a simple handmade wooden stick with fishing line and worms, or a high-tech novelty, complemented by your own spinners and modern lures for predatory fish.

Types of homemade
Spoon
Float

And it doesn’t matter how you prefer to fish: the old fashioned way or using modern gadgets - a fishing homemade product for summer fishing will help you adjust the finished device to your requirements. Since ancient times, anglers have had to make everything on their own, and even in the modern world, many experienced people prefer to rely on self-made rigs that will never let you down, unlike purchased ones.

This practice is common due to the fact that factory production is set up to create crafts that will fit as many situations as possible, and with rare exceptions, they do not take into account many small things.

So what can you do to make summer fishing easier if you're new to it?
No matter how developed your imagination is and no matter how diverse do-it-yourself fishing tackle looks, they can still be classified into one of 8 main varieties:

baubles - one of the most necessary things when fishing on the river;
feeder - helps not to bother with additional feeding;
a float is the main tackle that will help you understand if the fish has eaten the bait along with the hook. Some experienced fishermen prefer to get rid of the floats and follow the movement of the line, but this requires many years of training and not everyone can master this style;
mugs or in another way they are called - zherlitsy;
rods are the main component, and with proper skill, you can make your own rod. They also have many varieties;
rigs - various additions to the rod that simplify fishing and change it to the needs of the environment;
nods - help to more accurately recognize the catch;
homemade boats - they require experience in woodworking and carpentry, but they can also be made from polymers.

With rare exceptions, almost all homemade fishing equipment falls under this type, and if you leave out difficult-to-implement fishing rods and boats, then you can make most of the other gear yourself.

A very common and indispensable equipment for hunting predatory fish equipment:

Thanks to fluctuations due to the flow of a river or the movement of a fishing rod, it allows you to imitate fish or other small animals.

2. Easy to manufacture and use.

It is most convenient to use them in conjunction with spinning, and these are the easiest homemade fishing crafts that anyone can do. In order to make homemade spinners, it is enough to make “petals” that are cut out of metal according to pre-marked patterns. After that, several holes are drilled in such a part, and it itself is bent at a right angle so that the first and second holes are on the same line. Further, this whole structure is fixed in a simple way on the main fishing line.
You can experiment with templates from the internet or create your own, but to make the job easier, it's best to use ductile metals that don't oxidize quickly.

Float

It is impossible to imagine modern fishing without a float; it has become a kind of symbol of fishing and flaunts on signs in specialized stores.

Most beginners think that this tackle has a couple of trivial functions:

hook support at a given depth;
bite signal.

In reality, things are completely different, and, depending on the modifications, this simple rig can perform dozens of different functions. If we talk about the design, then this is a simple “stick” attached to a fishing line, the lower part of which is in the water, and the upper part above it should fix the movements of the hook. You can supplement this base in a variety of ways, as evidenced by many varieties of floats, and each one fits its own individual situation, performing certain tasks.

Creating a float at home is available to anyone, because its main characteristic is the density is lower than that of water. Therefore, for the base, you can use any container with air that will allow the homemade product to float so that it does not turn over from side to side, you need to install a keel or weighting on one side, in simple terms. From above, attach a signal antenna, which should be drawn in advance. Next, it remains to find a metal ring or elastic band that will allow you to attach it all to the fishing line and the homemade float is ready!

Many fishing enthusiasts devote all their free time to fishing. At the same time, anglers who are in love with their occupation are engaged in the manufacture of fishing tackle, such as baits, tackle, etc.

Manufacturing technology

In the prepared container, gypsum is diluted to a state of thick sour cream. After that, old vibrotails or twisters are dipped into the solution to get templates, after the gypsum has hardened, the baits are removed very carefully so as not to damage the mold. If there are any irregularities, then they are smoothed out with a sharp thin object.
The form prepared in this way is thoroughly greased. The most suitable option is sunflower oil. This is necessary so that the finished product does not stick to the mold during the manufacturing process.
All mold casting operations should be done outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.
Old, used silicone products are crushed into pieces and placed in a dish that is heated on a stove. So that the silicone does not burn, it must be stirred regularly, while the fire should be at a distance of 15-20 cm from the silicone container. If dyes are added to silicone, then you can get the bait of the desired color, and if you add flavoring, then this will already turn out to be edible silicone.
The well-heated and carefully mixed mass is poured into a mold. If you plan to get a two-color bait, then each new layer is poured after the first layer has dried.
After about 15-20 minutes, when the silicone has cooled down, the finished bait is removed from the mold, the mold is cleaned, lubricated with sunflower oil and the process is repeated.

Mini clasp for DIY nozzle change

Almost always, when catching fish, you need to quickly and quickly change the bait or modify the equipment by changing the leash or feeder. For these purposes, there is a fastener design, a rather small size. Making it at home is not difficult.

Manufacturing technology

The following tool is required:
- wire cutters;
- round teeth or pliers;
- tweezers.
The basis of the material can serve as a large bracket from the stapler.
The wire is bent with pliers into a shape that looks like a paper clip, but smaller.
Excess ends are cut off with wire cutters.
A cambric of the appropriate size is selected so that it fits freely on the fastener.
The size of the cambric should be slightly larger than the fastener, so the excess is cut off.
A piece of cambric is put on a fishing line and fixed with a knot.
Any bait is attached to the other end of the mini-fastener, after which, with effort, the cambric is pulled.
Mini clasp, ready to use.

Feeder for feeding fish from a boat

a piece of plastic sewer pipe;
two fasteners;
lead;
electric drill;
rope, rivets;
loop and lock.

A piece of pipe is taken, up to 30 cm long, and plugs are installed on both sides. One of them is installed deafly, and the other in such a way that it can be easily removed. After that, holes are drilled over the entire surface. A rope is attached to the plug that opens. To prevent the plug from opening on its own, a lock or latch of any design is installed.

On the reverse side, where the plug is rigidly fixed, the weights should be fixed.

Do-it-yourself wobbler

Any spinning player wants to have a good, catchy wobbler, but not everyone can afford to buy one. As a rule, wobblers are expensive baits, especially if they are related to well-known manufacturers.

How to make a wobbler

To begin with, you should decide on the shape and color of the future bait. To do this, you will have to do art and draw a sketch of the future wobbler on paper. Regardless of the material of manufacture, the wobbler is made of 2 symmetrical parts. A reinforcing wire should pass inside them.
Styrofoam can also serve as a material for manufacturing, but it is not as durable as wood or plastic. Therefore, taking the necessary material, they are engaged in the manufacture of blanks.
From thin stainless steel, fasteners for the ring and tee hooks are being prepared. Mounts are mounted in specially cut out places placed on the body of 2 halves of the lure. the two halves are joined with glue. After the glue dries, a cut is formed for the front blade, after which it is rigidly attached using the same glue.
After that, the wobbler should be configured based on personal preferences.
All recesses or voids left on the bait are sealed with epoxy, after which the bait is sanded and prepared for painting. Painting is also carried out depending on the presence of your own imagination.

It is not at all difficult to make a spinner yourself, if you have at least some skills in working with tools and materials. For its manufacture you will need:

ordinary paper clip;
tee (hook);
metal plate, 0.5-1 mm thick;
not a big bead;
piece of sheet lead;
tools: file, pliers, needle files, scissors.

First, on a piece of cardboard, you need to draw the shape of a petal for the future bait, after which the drawing is transferred to the metal. Scissors are taken and a petal is carefully cut out of a piece of metal. After that, the cut petal is processed with a file so that there are no burrs. Two holes are drilled along the edges of the petal (one from each edge) and processed with needle files. The places where the holes are drilled must be bent 90 degrees in relation to the petal. Then you need to take the wire and align it, and at one of its ends you need to form a loop and fix the tee.

Live bait trap

A 2-liter plastic bottle is taken, in which the neck is cut off to half.
After that, the neck is cut off from the same side in the widest part.
The result is a piece that looks like a watering can.
The bottom of this bottle is cut off.
The second bottle is taken and the bottom is cut off from it, at a distance of 5-7 cm from the greatest thickness.
In conclusion, the structure is assembled together. The cut-off "watering can" is inserted back, but only on the contrary, with the thinnest section inward, after which the structure is firmly connected with artificial threads. Another bottle is taken and the cut end is put on the first bottle with a neck.
A weight and a rope are attached to the trap.

After that, you can place the bait in the trap and lower the trap to the bottom of the reservoir. Fish that fall into the trap will no longer be able to get out of it. If you need a live bait, you just need to pull the trap out of the water. In order for the fry to always be fresh and lively, the trap must be kept in the water, moreover, indefinitely.

Do-it-yourself zherlitsy

In winter, the most common tool for catching a predator (pike) is using vents. It turns out that it can be done quickly and easily:

The basis for its manufacture is a sewer PVC pipe, 32 mm thick. The pipe must be cut into segments, 10-15 cm in size.
All irregularities in the places of cuts are best processed with a file.
3 holes should be made in the pipe. Two holes are made on one side, one opposite the other, to install on a tripod, and one hole is made on the other side for the line stopper. Its diameter is 1 mm.
In the form of the letter P, a stopper for the fishing line is formed and threaded through a small hole. The stopper should not limit the free movement of the fishing line.
A ring is formed from a fishing line with a thickness of 0.4-0.5 mm, which is passed through two holes located opposite each other. This ring will serve as a kind of fastener. The vent is attached to a metal rod securely driven into the ice.
About 10 meters of fishing line is wound on a piece of pipe.
An appropriate weight and a hook, such as a tee, are attached to the end of the fishing line.

The zherlitsa is ready for use by the end of the pipe, red tape should be fixed at the point of suspension (attachment), which can serve as a bite indicator.

Making bait for carp

Crucian, the average carp that most anglers catch, prefers the bait from semolina prepared according to a special recipe.

Recipe for making a catching nozzle for crucian carp:

Water is poured into the dishes, a couple of drops of flavoring are added, and brought to a boil.
Semolina is poured into boiling water with constant stirring. The result should be a homogeneous thick mass.
The fire is turned off so that the porridge cools down and steams out.
Upon reaching room temperature, the porridge is kneaded with hands to obtain even greater density.
After that, the porridge is wrapped in several layers of gauze.
It is not recommended to wrap porridge in polyethylene.

Balls are well molded from the finished porridge, after which they are put on a hook.

The recipe for making porridge bait in a cold way:

Water from the reservoir is collected in a suitable dish and a little flavor is added.
After that, semolina is added to the dishes with active stirring.
As a result of active stirring, a homogeneous mass should be obtained. The readiness of the bait is checked as follows: if the spoon with porridge is lifted up and turned over, then the porridge should remain in the spoon.
Stirring is stopped and the porridge is left for 10 minutes to swell.
In conclusion, you need to take a syringe and fill it with porridge.

The porridge from the syringe is squeezed out onto the hook in a spiral so that the sting of the hook closes last.

Plastic bottle feeder

So, a feeder for a feeder from a plastic bottle:

To make such a feeder, it is advisable to take a green plastic bottle, and then cut off the bottom and neck.
The resulting workpiece should be cut into fragments, 6x13 cm in size.
The existing blanks are rolled into a cylinder with an overlap of up to 1 cm and fastened with a clerical stapler.
A piece of sheet lead of a certain mass is attached to the side surface where the feeder is fastened. On a piece of lead, you need to fix a loop from a paper clip.
A soldering iron is taken and holes are made in a checkerboard pattern around the entire perimeter of the feeder.
A swivel is inserted into the loop.

The feeder is ready for use. As can be seen from the technology, losing such a feeder will not be so offensive, since its cost is cheap, and a huge number of them can be made.

Therefore, in order not to spend extra money for fishing, it is better to spend a little time and strain your imagination, especially since there is a sufficient amount of used materials that may well come in handy on the farm. In addition, no expensive equipment or tools are required, an elementary set is enough, in the form of a soldering iron and a stapler. As practice shows, the result will always be the same, and the costs will be much less.

Classification

Fishing tricks and homemade products that exist today can be divided into several categories, each of which is distinguished by its practical application. In the first of them are various gear. These can be products that successfully copy foreign analogues, the cost of which is simply fabulous, or real inventions of fishing enthusiasts. This group includes floats and hooks, leashes and spinners, donks, mormyshkas and much more.

The second category contains fishing tricks and homemade products that have already been sufficiently tested by experience. This also includes complementary foods, various types of baits and baits, as well as invented methods and methods of fishing. This is a fairly large topic that discusses how to fish in one place or another and at one time or another of the year.

The third, rather extensive group includes various accessories - either invented or copied from existing samples. They are a variety of devices that allow you to:

Increase the shelf life of fish in hot weather; - dress properly so as not to freeze on ice in winter;

Save bloodworms and other bait by placing them in special containers.

So, what are the most popular fishing tricks and crafts that are made from improvised materials?

Toothbrush poppers

Very often, fishing tricks and homemade products literally amaze with the fantasy of the craftsman who made them. So this surface bait of a foreign manufacturer can be quite expensive. That is why it makes sense to make it yourself. Poppers, which are also called walkers, being surface baits, should not sink. Only a slight melting is permissible. What kind of material can be used that will keep well on the water? These are toothbrushes that are first tested for buoyancy. To do this is quite simple. It is enough to fill an ordinary bucket of water and throw a brush into it. It should stay on the surface and not sink.

The work is done using a small grinder with interchangeable nozzles, which looks like a micro grinder. Making this tricky fishing tackle begins with sawing off the bristle part from the brush. The resulting edge should be processed with a sandpaper nozzle. You will need to make a small hole in the top and bottom. It is necessary for fastening the tee with a ring with a swivel. Next, the homemade bait needs to be tinted. Colors should certainly be bright, such as green and red. Tees are inserted into the almost finished product. If you test the resulting design in the bathroom, it turns out that due to the large weight it is pulled to the bottom. A narrow strip of foam glued on top with superglue will help to avoid this. In this embodiment, the popper will keep well on the water and stop sinking.

Wobblers

In the fisherman's workshop, homemade fishing tricks can be made from a variety of materials. However, for wobblers it is best to take a birch. This tree is superbly processed and does not splinter during operation. At the first stage of manufacturing the future bait, its body is machined with a cutter. After that, the resulting workpiece is processed first with coarse, and then with fine sandpaper. In this case, the wobbler will turn out smooth and will not have any burrs.

Wobbler must have a certain weight. That is why they load it, inserting a small tin plate into a cut triangular recess in the abdomen.

Spinner for pike perch

Fishing tricks and crafts for fishing can be crafted from just about anything. Sometimes even broken tweezers are used for this. By itself, this tool is of high quality and is made of stainless steel. That is why it can serve as an excellent lure for pike perch. As you know, this fish is a predator, which is distinguished by a narrow throat. So the spinner is also needed not wide. Tweezers in this case are just perfect. From one leg of this cosmetic tool, you will need to cut off a workpiece of the required length. It is polished a little. This allows you to give the part the desired shape and save it from small burrs.

At the end of this stage, a tee is screwed on. It is better to do this from the heaviest side, otherwise the lure will not hold well in the water. For those who wish to give their product an aesthetic appearance, it is recommended to cut flakes on it. There are already transverse layers on this piece of tweezers. It remains to make only a few longitudinal uniform cuts and a shiny lure for perch or pike perch will be completely ready for catching fish. It is worth noting that such homemade products are no worse than branded ones. And made of tweezers can even be called the best. After all, in it the tee is located on the heaviest side, which allows you to avoid spinner coups and overlaps.

Summer little things

There are many fishing tricks and a huge number of homemade products have been invented, which are used not only by beginners, but also by experienced fishermen in the warm season. Summer fishing has its own specifics. During its implementation, special attention must be paid to the preservation of the catch. After all, fish quickly deteriorates in the heat, and by the evening it may simply have to be thrown away.

Saving the caught

Live storage

For many fishermen, it is important to bring home a live catch. To do this, the fish must be stored in the water, while being in a kukan or in a cage. The mesh of the latter should not be metal, as the prey will attempt to get out into the reservoir, which will lead to severe injury. You need to hang the cage in the shade, deepening it into the water so as to allow the fish not to fight against each other when swimming. In addition, in close quarters, the catch is in danger of self-poisoning by products released as a result of metabolism.

Homemade cage

This fishing item is offered by all specialized stores. However, if the cage is branded, then the price for it is set such that not every fisherman can afford to purchase it.

For the summer season, this accessory can be made independently. At the same time, it will be wide enough, long, and, if desired, folding.

How to make this fishing craft? To do this, take a strong wire. You can use ready-made metal rings. To create a compact tackle, you will need three of them at once, but with different diameters - large, medium and small. You will also need a nylon mesh. The one that was previously used for windows as protection against mosquitoes will come in handy. A sock-like product is sewn from such a mesh. It should correspond to the diameter of the rings. They need to wear such a sock and attach with small stitches. To keep the fish in the cage, you will also need a lid. It is made from a nylon mesh stretched over another wire ring. Small tricks must be used by the fisherman to fasten the entire structure. They consist in the use of a nylon rope tied to the structure with a reliable knot. Otherwise, the cage with the catch may float away with the flow. And so that the prey does not go to the bottom, a small children's life buoy can be attached to the upper ring.

DIY floats

This is a small device that signals a bite, fishermen like to make their own. First of all, because there is no point in buying something that you can make yourself. In addition, fishing crafts and do-it-yourself tricks are a hobby of many lovers of water hunting. And this does not mean at all that buying a float in a store is impossible because of its high cost. Many fishermen can afford to buy the best that a modern manufacturer offers. However, the peculiarity of fishing tricks and tackle made at home is that they are sometimes the most suitable option for successful fishing.

For many anglers, homemade floats are much better than store-bought ones. After all, they can be made in any shape and painted in the most pleasing color for the eye. And to make this tackle is quite simple. Just keep in mind that the first products are unlikely to be perfect. But then, as you gain experience, each fisherman will be able to refine their crafts, as well as come up with various and most unusual options for floats.

Similar gear made of goose feathers is good. This material is easy to find on any body of water that these birds prefer. Feathers lost by them sometimes just float on the surface of the water. It remains to bend down and pick up this unique natural material.

Floats made by hand can be of different sizes. Big ones are for big fish and vice versa. It will be necessary to cut off everything unnecessary from the pen, and leave only its base. As a result, only a light, thin, but at the same time quite strong stick will remain in the hands. Everything unnecessary should also be cut off from its upper side. From below, that is, in the place where the feather should be attached to the skin of the bird, you cannot touch it. Otherwise, the resulting float will constantly get wet. To perform these works, which will allow you to make the main part of the float, you will need a sharp clerical knife. After the work is completed, the product is painted in bright colors, which will allow it to be much more noticeable on the water. It is easier to do this with nail polish, which is water resistant. In the trimmed part of the float, a fastening for fishing line is provided.

Carp fishing

And start with food. It should be borne in mind that crucian carp is very sensitive to odors. That is why he does not always respond to the complementary foods offered by specialized stores. The little tricks of anglers when catching crucian carp are to use ordinary compound feed, to which pre-ground roasted seeds are added. This mixture is pre-wetted. This allows her to settle to the bottom of the reservoir. The crucian does not peck very actively when using the usual dough on grain flour. To remedy the situation, you can add a little tincture of valerian to complementary foods.

One of the unusual ways to get an excellent catch is singeing the hooves of cattle on a fire. Still smoking, they are thrown into the water, which contributes to an excellent bite.

There are other fishing tricks and homemade carp crafts. So, for a good catch, so-called spring teats are often used. Such tackle is designed for the fact that crucian loves to suck food from the bottom into its mouth. That is why hooks are taken on short leashes and then hidden in the bait, located in feeders made from bottle caps, as well as from a wire twisted into a spring with a concave lead plate. During feeding, the crucian swallows the bait, and with it the hooks.

In the cold season

There are also winter fishing tricks and crafts. They facilitate fishing and create a certain comfort when a person is in difficult weather conditions. One of the accessories that is not difficult to make with your own hands is a hook. For him, you will need a handle from an old umbrella and a sharpened metal rod. You can take an electrode from which the insulating layer is first knocked off. One end of such a metal rod must be sharpened and bent in the shape of a hook, and the other end flattened on an anvil. You will also need a plastic dowel for the hook. It is put on the rod, shifting to its flattened part. Next, the dowel is inserted into the tube of the umbrella. It is fixed on it with the help of flattening.

Many fishing tricks and homemade products for winter fishing protect a person with a fishing rod from various kinds of dangers. So, every fisherman moving on the ice needs to carry the so-called lifeguards with him. These are two wooden handles, turned on a lathe, in each of which a sharpened steel pin is fixed with epoxy glue. These parts are interconnected with a rope, the length of which is 30-50 cm less than the height of the fisherman. Lifeguards are worn around the neck. If the fisherman fell through the ice, he must stick the pins into the edge near the water and climb up, standing on the rope as if on a step.

Many fishing tricks and homemade products, the ideas of which are presented above, have been actively used by anglers in many countries for more than a dozen years.

Fishing crafts for summer fishing - how to do it yourself

Spinners are generally divided into types according to various principles - you can look at the seasons, and then it turns out that there are winter and summer spinners. If divided by catch, then the species will be such - for perch, pike, etc. You can also use the principle of operation as the basis for dividing into types - oscillating, rotating, and others.

An oscillating lure is well suited for summer fishing - this is a metal plate, which, thanks to its device, can move in a certain rhythm, which attracts fish.

A spinner is no less effective - during wiring, the rod begins to rotate, attracting fish with its movements. There are also acoustic spinners - they are very effective, because fish are sensitive to sounds.

The simplest ones are made simply from two plates, which, when touched, create a ringing. Spinner Devon, in turn, imitates a fast fish. Its only serious drawback is that it constantly twists the fishing line. Non-hooking spinners are also known - they are used mainly to avoid hooking.

You can also make a spinner yourself - there is nothing difficult in this, and the result is many times greater than mass stamping. It is not for nothing that most professional fishermen make spinners on their own. First you need to choose a material - any metal will do here.

Although aluminum is best avoided, it has a very poor game. The plate should be without nicks, rust and other things - the thickness is from half a millimeter to eight tenths. A large spinner can reach one and a half millimeters. After cutting out the form, the plate is skinned and leveled.

After checking for the game and catch, spinners are made according to this option. Before use, it would be nice to sand the metal with felt or felt - as a lubricant, you can use mastic for blades or crocus.

feeders

Fish feeders have been made for many years - with the development of technology, new types appear, and they are constantly being improved. The advantage of feeders is that they can be thrown quite far, thus counting on large fish, as well as a good result and the absence of a hook.

Today, feeder feeders and carp feeders are made - the former are much more versatile, and the latter are used mainly for carps, since they are larger.

You can also divide the feeders into types according to their shape - square, oval, spring, and so on. The choice is wide - the main thing is to decide in advance where the feeders will be used.

In addition, they make them open and closed - the latter are suitable for animal feed, and the former for vegetable and cereals.

The materials used to make feeders are different - plastic is cheaper, but it is short-lived, but metal will last longer, especially if it is coated with an anti-corrosion compound, although such feeders are not cheap.

You can make a feeder yourself - also from plastic or metal. The first can be made from a plastic bottle - the neck and bottom are cut off from it, and the cylinder is cut across. The sheet of plastic should be about 6 by 12-13 cm in size. Points of holes are marked on the sheet of plastic, at a distance of about two centimeters.

The cylinder is closed with an overlap and fastened with paper clips. After that, the holes themselves are burned out - they can also be punched with a hole punch or drilled. When the base is ready, it is necessary to close the junction with a lead strip and put on a fastener at one end - after that the plate is compressed from both ends.

Making a metal feeder is more difficult and requires a lot of materials and tools.

floats

Floats have been used for a very long time, as they signal the moment when the fish are biting. Today, goose feathers have been replaced by modern, high-tech models, but their essence has remained unchanged. For fly rods, light floats with a small load are used - they allow you to notice even the slightest movement.

For match and Bologna rods, usually "wagglers" are used. For deep fishing, you need a float with a blind mount, and if the depth exceeds the length of the rod, then the mount must be sliding. During plug-in fishing, ultra-sensitive, carp and flat floats are used.

To make a float at home, you need to have some equipment and materials. It is best to make several floats - it just saves time.

So, one form of a float can be made in different sizes. With a jigsaw or knife you need to make a blank.

It is best to leave a margin of length in a centimeter or one and a half, and thickness - 3-4 mm.

To find the center, draw diagonals on the ends. For the keel, steel wire is used, which must be tinned.

In the center at the end, you need to insert the keel by a centimeter, you can also by one and a half.

After checking, dip the keel in epoxy and put it back in place. When everything is dry, the workpiece is given the shape of a float - the edges of the main cylinder are cut off, and a smaller cylinder is made on the opposite side from the keel.

Further, the workpiece is given the final shape, after - grinding. A float ring is made from a thin wire, leaving the ends 5-7 mm each. An antenna 3-5 cm in size is made from the same wire from which the keel was made and glued in place of the cut thin cylinder. The ring is glued just below the top of the float.

After, you only need to paint the float - for greater brightness of the antenna, you can use cambric wires (preferably white). The paints must be water-resistant, and they must not be applied in a very thick layer. The float will dry for a day or two.

Mugs

Fishing circles are used for catching predatory fish - they are made from a disc, sticks and equipment, which, in turn, consists of a line, a load and a leash (for pike), as well as a tee.

Since we do not produce high-quality mugs, it is best to use home-made blanks. To make such a device, you must first cut out the shape of the foam and clean it with sandpaper. In the center of the workpiece, you need to drill a hole one and a half centimeters in diameter, where a sleeve with its own hole is inserted, but already 8-9 mm.

The underside of the disk must be painted white, and the top red. The mast must be made of coniferous wood in the form of a truncated cone.

It will be fifteen centimeters long, with a diameter of 6 to 12 mm from top to butt.

Since conifers are quite soft, no technique is needed - a simple knife is enough.

It is more difficult with the keel head - here you need a lathe, since its shape should be like that of an egg.

If all the work is done on the machine, then the mast will generally be smooth and even.

A non-through hole is made in the keel head, necessary to insert the mast head there - for good fastening, it is filled with epoxy. The last thing left is to equip the circle.

The main fishing line is best made from a nylon cord, with a cross section of half a millimeter. The length is determined individually - a few meters longer than the deepest place in the intended fishing spot.

fishing rods

An ordinary fishing rod consists of several parts - the rod itself, the float, fishing line, hook, sinker, reel and leash. The rod is made of wood - you can use hazel or birch, use a pebble as a sinker, and a feather or cork as a float. Naturally, such a primitive rod will not catch a lot of fish.

Spinning is much more difficult to make on your own, but this is generally a professional device for catching fish. The rod here is made of cork or wood, plastic can also be used.

In addition, you definitely need a reel - a long distance is important for spinning, and without a reel you can’t pull the fish out of there. The fishing line is attached along the entire length of the rod, and is already released behind it - a bait for predatory fish is suspended at the end.

Snap

Today there are many baits, and even more types of equipment.

The classic equipment is a weight-head and a hook soldered there. The weight can be of different shapes - like a ball or an ellipse, or rugby or a hoof.

It is not difficult to make such a bait at home, although this will require some skill and special equipment - you need to carve a weight and solder a small ring and a hook to it. Actually, this is all that is needed for the manufacture of classic equipment.

Articulated mounting is that there are two fasteners on the weight - one for the main line and hook, and the other for the offset hook and bait.

Making one with your own hands is only a little more difficult than a classic rig - you just need to solder an additional mount.

I have been active fishing for quite some time and have found many ways to improve the bite. And here are the most effective ones:

Cool activator. Attracts fish in cold and warm water with the help of pheromones included in the composition and stimulates their appetite. It is a pity that Rosprirodnadzor wants to ban its sale.
More sensitive gear. Reviews and instructions for other types of gear you can find on the pages of my site.
Lures using pheromones.

You can get the rest of the secrets of successful fishing for free by reading my other materials on the site.

nods

For summer fishing, side nods are best suited. Far from all factories make them, and therefore they are available mainly in large cities - only hand-made production is suitable for other settlements.

First you need to cut a thin sliver from the knee of the telescopic rod - the length should be at least 15 cm. The sliver must be cleaned and sanded with sandpaper.

After that, a ring is made from the wire with one end a few centimeters long - the end should depart from the ring at a right angle.

In addition, you can put a thermotube on the nod and melt it - so there is no need to paint, and also check for flexibility.

Homemade boats

The boat is well suited for quiet fishing, but not everyone can afford to buy such a device - but there is a way out. You can make a boat with your own hands. It is best to make such a boat out of wood - this way you can even make it big enough for two.

The materials you will need are ash and 5mm plywood. First you need to make frames and a keel.

The latter is best made from one board, but you can also glue two, although this will make the boat not so strong. The frames are wedged in the grooves of the keel, and the bottom of the boat is fitted to them.

The assembly of the frame ends with the fastening of two more rails - not screws to the right and left of the longitudinal one.

The next stage involves turning the boat over on the goats. With a rasp, the frames are processed so as to fit snugly against the pressed curved rail.

Parts of the skin are cut out of plywood and attached to the boat with a large amount of epoxy glue.

In addition, rather large clamps also contribute to fastening. Each component must be planed so that the next one fits as tightly as possible - the remains of glue that is not used for fastening must be removed with linen rags soaked in acetone.

After that, the fastening of the rest of the parts begins - the upper slats, the back of the boat, fenders, seat supports, brackets, knees and more.

Fishing knots

In the process of fishing, many types of fishing knots are used - and all of them are categorized according to their intended purpose. For example, there are knots for hooks and baits, loops, for attaching fishing line to the reel and for tying lines.

For a spade hook where there is no knot, the main fishing knot is usually used. For large hooks, the Dumhof knot is used. The leash knot is convenient in that it does not damage the fishing line.

Many anglers also use stop knots to limit the depth of a sliding swim or to control casting distance.

Mesh production. How to knit a net?

If earlier the nets were made from vegetable ropes, now they are mostly nylon, perlon or nylon thick threads - they are not only stronger and do not rot, but also show much better performance in terms of catch.

Delhi is knitted on a shuttle - you need to prepare enough thread in advance and wind it on a shuttle. Winding is carried out according to a certain technology - you need to thread the inner peg, the fork at the end, and then the peg on the other side.

You also need a thin wooden plate - the width of such a shelf depends on the size of the cells you need. Ready meshes are hung on a nail so that the knot on them is between the left end of the mesh and the nail.

To connect the deli, you need to hang them on the nails with extreme cells, and connect in places where they should be connected, more carefully, and in this way you need to tie the rope alternately to one and the other edge, just like when knitting a net.

Homemade sprays for summer fishing

The easiest recipe for a spray is vanilla and water. Vanilla powder or liquid is added to hot water, and then poured into a spray bottle. Fruit sprays use fruit essences as a base - they have a very rich smell.

You can also combine different smells - for example, by mixing the essence of strawberries, vanilla and cocoa in water, you need to bring the container to a boil, and then pour it into bottles.

When fishing, it is best to take several types of sprays - who knows what fish will go today? For crucian carp, for example, it is best to use sunflower oil and garlic.

To summarize all of the above, we can say that summer fishing is quite troublesome, but nevertheless brings joy and pleasure. Moreover, almost everything you need can be prepared without much difficulty with your own hands.

An oscillating lure is well suited for summer fishing - this is a metal plate, which, thanks to its device, can move in a certain rhythm, which attracts fish.

feeders

Today, feeder feeders and carp feeders are made - the former are much more versatile, and the latter are used mainly for carps, since they are larger.

You can also divide the feeders into types according to their shape - square, oval, spring, and so on. The choice is wide - the main thing is to decide in advance where the feeders will be used.

In addition, they make them open and closed - the latter are suitable for animal feed, and the former for vegetable and cereals.

Making a metal feeder is more difficult and requires a lot of materials and tools.

floats

To make a float at home, you need to have some equipment and materials. It is best to make several floats - it just saves time.

So, one form of a float can be made in different sizes. With a jigsaw or knife you need to make a blank.

It is best to leave a margin of length in a centimeter or one and a half, and thickness - 3-4 mm.

To find the center, draw diagonals on the ends. For the keel, steel wire is used, which must be tinned.

In the center at the end, you need to insert the keel by a centimeter, you can also by one and a half.

Next, the workpiece is given the final shape, after - grinding. A float ring is made from a thin wire, leaving the ends 5-7 mm each. An antenna 3-5 cm in size is made from the same wire from which the keel was made and glued in place of the cut thin cylinder. The ring is glued just below the top of the float.

Mugs

Fishing circles are used for catching predatory fish - they are made from a disc, sticks and equipment, which, in turn, consists of a line, a load and a leash (for pike), as well as a tee.

The underside of the disk must be painted white, and the top red. The mast must be made of coniferous wood in the form of a truncated cone.

It will be fifteen centimeters long, with a diameter of 6 to 12 mm from top to butt.

Since conifers are quite soft, no technique is needed - a simple knife is enough.

It is more difficult with the keel head - here you need a lathe, since its shape should be like that of an egg.

If all the work is done on the machine, then the mast will generally be smooth and even.

A non-through hole is made in the keel head, necessary to insert the mast head there - for good fastening, it is filled with epoxy. The last thing left is to equip the circle.

fishing rods

Spinning is much more difficult to make on your own, but this is generally a professional device for catching fish. The rod here is made of cork or wood, plastic can also be used.

Snap

Today there are many baits, and even more types of equipment.

The classic equipment is a weight-head and a hook soldered there. The weight can be of different shapes - like a ball or an ellipse, or rugby or a hoof.

Articulated mounting is that there are two fasteners on the weight - one for the main line and hook, and the other for the offset hook and bait.

To make this is only a little more difficult than the classic equipment - you just need to solder an additional mount.

nods

For summer fishing, side nods are best suited. Far from all factories make them, and therefore they are available mainly in large cities - only hand-made production is suitable for other settlements.

First you need to cut a thin sliver from the knee of the telescopic rod - the length should be at least 15 cm. The sliver must be cleaned and sanded with sandpaper.

After that, a ring is made from the wire with one end a few centimeters long - the end should depart from the ring at a right angle.

In addition, you can put a thermotube on the nod and melt it - so there is no need to paint, and also check for flexibility.

How to catch more fish?

I have been active fishing for quite some time and have found many ways to improve the bite. And here are the most effective ones:

. Attracts fish in cold and warm water with the help of pheromones included in the composition and stimulates their appetite. It is a pity that Rosprirodnadzor wants to ban its sale.
More sensitive gear. Reviews and instructions for other types of gear you can find on the pages of my site.
Lures using pheromones.

You can get the rest of the secrets of successful fishing for free by reading my other materials on the site.

Homemade boats

The materials you will need are ash and 5mm plywood. First you need to make frames and a keel.

The assembly of the frame ends with the fastening of two more rails - not screws to the right and left of the longitudinal one.

The next stage involves turning the boat over on the goats. With a rasp, the frames are processed so as to fit snugly against the pressed curved rail.

Parts of the skin are cut out of plywood and attached to the boat with a large amount of epoxy glue.

After that, the fastening of the rest of the parts begins - the upper slats, the back of the boat, fenders, seat supports, brackets, knees and more.

Fishing knots

For a spade hook where there is no knot, the main fishing knot is usually used. For large hooks, the Dumhof knot is used. The leash knot is convenient in that it does not damage the fishing line.

Many anglers also use stop knots to limit the depth of a sliding swim or to control casting distance.

Homemade sprays for summer fishing

You can also combine different smells - for example, by mixing the essence of strawberries, vanilla and cocoa in water, you need to bring the container to a boil, and then pour it into bottles.

When fishing, it is best to take several types of sprays - who knows what fish will go today? For crucian carp, for example, it is best to use sunflower oil and garlic.

How long have you had a really BIG CATCH?

When was the last time you caught dozens of HEALTHY pikes/carps/breams?

We always want to get results from fishing - to catch not three perches, but ten kilogram pikes - this will be a catch! Each of us dreams of this, but not everyone knows how.

A good catch can be achieved (and we know this) thanks to good bait.

It can be prepared at home, you can buy it in fishing stores. But it is expensive in stores, and to prepare bait at home, you need to spend a lot of time, and, to be honest, homemade bait does not always work well.

Do you know that disappointment when you bought bait or cooked it at home, and caught three or four bass?

So maybe it's time to use a really working product, the effectiveness of which has been proven both scientifically and in practice on the rivers and ponds of Russia?

It gives the very result that we cannot achieve on our own, all the more, it is cheap, which distinguishes it from other means and there is no need to spend time on manufacturing - ordered, brought and go!

Of course, it is better to try once than hear a thousand times. Especially now - the season! When ordering, this is a great bonus!
