Homemade baits for fishing. Making fishing tackle with your own hands. Feeder for feeding fish from a boat

The first fishing trick is the so-called “dressed spinner”; it is done quite simply by the fisherman’s hands. You need to take a factory-made perch spoon and polish it thoroughly on both sides. Then show a little imagination and use a thin brush to paint the spoon so that it looks as much like a small fish as possible. You will need to draw with a dotted line, draw side lines, depict gills, eyes, etc. Wrap with tape. Naturally, after some time the clothes of the spinner will be stripped, since predators with sharp teeth will peck at such a spinner, but everything can be easily fixed by replacing the tape. This trick is perfect for catching perch, pike and pike perch; its size will depend on how large a predator you are going to catch.

The next fishing trick and homemade product for winter fishing, which experienced fishermen shared with us, is the “ice cat” trap. So, you need to cut a horseshoe-shaped hole in the ice, the width of which will be about 50cm. and 3-4 meters long in a semicircle. The layer of ice forming the bottom of the pit is 5-7 cm thick. Next, it is necessary to cut a fifteen-centimeter wide slot from the center of the inner wall of the hole, to a depth of 50% of the total ice thickness, which will go into a round hole. When a fish enters the hole, it enters the cathole through the crack, and then is simply scooped out with a net.

The next fishing trick is the so-called “helicopter”, used mainly for catching pike perch. In appearance, it is a fairly large drop-shaped lead jig, to which you need to attach a brush made of goat hair or New Year's rain. The size and weight of the product will vary depending on fishing conditions with or without current. Naturally, for fishing at great depths in the presence of a current, you need to use heavier “helicopters”, and when fishing at medium depths with moderate or no current, lighter ones. On a fishing rod with a good supply of fishing line 0.30-0.35 mm thick, attach a nod with a fairly wide hole at the end. It is best if it is a nod made from a 2-3mm watch spring, soldering a winding ring to the end. The normal length of the finished nod should be approximately 4-5cm. When fishing with a “helicopter” you can use various fishing techniques. You can rhythmically twitch the bait, then suddenly change this tactic with jig play, etc.

A fishing trick that helps many inexperienced fishermen when casting a donkey. Often, if the donkey is not thrown correctly or carefully, the leashes get tangled, so in order to prevent this from happening, you need to make a reliable, simple device. It is necessary to bend a bracket from a wire with a diameter of 0.6-1 mm, copper or steel, and secure it to the main line using two pieces of cambric. Pass a loop through the ring of the bracket to tie the leash, and then install the leash “loop to loop”.

Another fishing trick for summer fishing, which many neglect, but according to experienced fishermen, it is in vain. Before fishing, you need to place moss in a jar, lightly moistened with vegetable oil, and put the worms there for several hours. Thus, the worms will acquire a more elastic body and be cleared of mucus, and will also become brighter and more mobile, which the fish really like. By the way, the smell of vegetable oil in moderate quantities also attracts fish.

Before placing the dough balls on the hook, you need to knead them thoroughly, form a ball and put them in the sun for a few minutes, then sprinkle them with vegetable oil or anise solution and place them on the hook, the tip of which should be completely hidden.

We can talk endlessly about fishing secrets and tricks, since every fisherman has his own preferences and tricks, and a novice fisherman will undoubtedly acquire his own secrets and learn the intricacies of fishing after some time.

Don't miss the interesting video “Fishing tricks and homemade products”:

For many fans, fishing is not even a hobby, but a way of life to which they are ready and even devote all their free time.

And therefore, very often, avid fishermen have to invent and make various baits, spoons, tackles and much more themselves.

DIY silicone baits

It is often a pity to part with a vibrating tail that has already served its purpose. Or would like to add some element to it that you think is quite necessary. It doesn’t matter, you can make a new silicone bait at home.

Manufacturing:

In a used canning jar, cleanly washed, of a suitable size, we dilute the plaster to the state of thick “bazaar” sour cream and dip old vibrating tails into it halfway to obtain a template. After the solution has hardened, carefully remove them. If you want to make changes to the shape of future products, use a sharp knife to add the necessary touches before pouring the silicone.
Lubricate the finished cleaned form generously with fat, The most suitable option is sunflower oil, so that the finished products are damaged when taken out and do not stick to the mold.
All further steps of pouring silicone into molds must be done in the open air. he or in a well-ventilated area.
We cut old unused silicone products into pieces and place them in a jar, heating them on the stove.. To prevent the silicone from burning, it must be stirred. Keep the fire at a distance of 15-20 cm from the heated container. To obtain silicones of various colors, food coloring is added to it and, if desired, you can drop a little of a special fish flavor purchased at a fishing store.
The heated and thoroughly mixed silicone mass is poured into the mold starting from the thinnest point. If you are making a two-color bait, then the layer of the second color is poured only after the first has dried.
After complete hardening (usually 15-20 minutes), the bait is carefully removed from the plaster mold We. We clean the mold from silicone residues, correct the oil layer and repeat the process.

Mini-fastener for quick change of attachment with your own hands

Very often when fishing, especially fly fishing or lure fishing, there is a need to quickly change the nozzle. For this purpose, a specially shaped mini-clasp was invented. It is quite simple and easy to make at home.

Manufacturing:

Tools needed to create a mini clasp:

Wire cutters.
Small round nose pliers and pliers.
Tweezers.

A thin, rigid wire is used as the base material.. An acceptable option is a large staple from a regular stapler.
We bend it with pliers into a product according to the shape, resembling a paper clip, but reduced in size by half.
We bite off the excess wire.
We select the size of the camber rick (hard silicone tube) of such a size that it fits tightly around the fabricated fastener.
Using wire cutters, bite off a piece of the tube slightly longer than the fastener, it will act as a retainer.
We thread the resulting piece of tube onto a fishing line and firmly fix it with a knot.
Insert the attachment you need into the other side of the fastener.
Pulls the silicone cambric with force. That's it, the mini clasp is ready.

Feeder for feeding fish from a boat

If you prefer to fish from a boat, then you will definitely be intrigued by this very simple and inexpensive fish feeder. It will serve as an excellent replacement for casting bait by hand, especially if fishing is in the current.

To make it you will need:

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

A piece of pipe about 30 cm long is fitted with plugs on both sides, one firmly and tightly, the other like a window in a house on a hinge.

We drill holes along the entire surface of the feeder.

A rope is connected to the opening lid, and a lock is attached to it from the inside. Weights are installed outside the pipe near the cover.

The feeder, pre-filled with bait, is carefully lowered into the selected fishing spot with the lid down due to the weights attached to it, and with a slight tug of the rope the unwanted spot is emptied. The whole place is baited and you can fish.

Wobbler from a home workshop

Store-bought wobblers are certainly not bad: very colorful, streamlined, completely imitating a small fish and its movements in the water, but they have one big drawback - the high price.

Therefore, many people prefer to make them themselves at home, especially since the process itself does not require special equipment and is quite exciting in itself.

Making wobblers:

First of all, we draw on paper a sketch of what we want to do. Regardless of the material used to make the wobbler, it must be made of two symmetrical halves to pass a steel wire amplifier inside it.
Wobblers can be made from foam plastic. It is easy to process, but less durable than plastic or wood. Having decided on the material, we cut out the blanks.
We make fastenings for rings and tee hooks from thin stainless wire, we install them in the grooves cut in advance in the halves of the wobbler body, and fasten them with glue. After the glue has dried, we make a cut for the front blade and secure it firmly with glue.
Then we ship the wobbler. There are many options here - everyone does this procedure specifically based on their personal preferences. That is, we customize it for ourselves.
Fill the remaining empty spaces on the surface of the wobbler with epoxy resin and grind. You can now begin the creative process of priming and then painting the wobbler. There is nothing holding back your imagination here.

DIY spinner

Making a spinner with your own hands is not at all difficult with some skill. An example is a spinner.

For this you will need:

regular paper clip;
hook tee;
metal plate 0.5 - 1 mm (can be taken from an empty tin can);
small bead;
a piece of sheet lead;
tools: pliers, file, scissors, needle files.

We cut out the shape of the petal itself from cardboard and transfer it to metal. Carefully cut along the contour and remove burrs along the edges with a file.

We drill two holes along the edges and process them with a needle file.

We bend the places with holes at an angle of 90° relative to the petal.

We make an axle out of wire with a ring and a loop at one end, where we attach the tee hook.

We thread a petal through the other end, then a bead, and at the end we make a loop for the fishing line at a distance so that the lead sinker does not interfere with the free rotation of the petal.

The spoon is loaded experimentally on a reservoir by attaching weights to the niche between the petal and the tee. And the final touch is the coloring of the spinner.

Homemade products for summer fishing

When fishing, the problem of using live bait for bait often arises. Catching it usually involves wasting time. In hot weather, baitfish quickly become lethargic in a bucket of water and die.

A very simple device made from two plastic bottles will help you solve this problem:

Cut off the neck of a two-liter plastic bottle by half.
Then, on the same side, cut off the neck of the bottle at the widest part.
You have a truncated cone, somewhat reminiscent of a watering can.
We cut off the bottom of it.
For the second bottle, cut off the bottom 5-7 cm from the point where the largest diameter appears.
We connect the structure together. We insert the neck at the place of the cut, but on the contrary with a small hole inward and firmly fasten it with threads and a needle. We tightly place the bottom from another bottle onto the cut off bottom according to the principle of a drawing tube.
We attach a small sinker in the middle of the side of the bottle, and a rope on the opposite side.

That's it, the trap is ready. We throw bread crumbs inside and throw a trap near the shore. The fry, having swam for food, can no longer get out of there on their own.

All that remains, when you need live bait, is to pull the trap out of the water and, by removing the plug at the bottom, get fresh and vigorous live bait.

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:

. Attracts fish in cold and warm water with the help of pheromones included in the composition and stimulates its appetite. It’s a pity that Rosprirodnadzor wants to impose a ban on its sale.
More sensitive gear. Reviews and instructions for other types of gear can be found on the pages of my website.
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 products for winter fishing

In winter, live bait is often used to catch predators.

An example of such a budget and quickly manufactured gear:

Material for production – sewer PVC pipe with a diameter of 32 mm. We cut the pipe into pieces of 10 - 15 cm.
We process the chamfers at the ends of the pipe with a file.
Using a heated nail, burn 3 holes in the tube. Two on one side, opposite each other, for hanging it on a tripod and one with a diameter of 1 mm on the other side, for stopping the fishing line.
We make a line stopper in the shape of the letter P and thread it through a small hole. It should not interfere with the free movement of the fishing line.
We make a ring (suspension) from a thick 0.4-0.5 mm fishing line, passing it through two holes on a plastic pipe. The suspension is used to attach the pole to a rod firmly driven into the ice, so that an overly frisky fish does not drag your pole under the ice.
We wind up to 10 meters of main fishing line onto the pipe.
At the end we put an olive weight and a tee hook on a double loop.

That's it, the girder is ready for work.

Tip: wrap the end of the pipe near the suspension loop with red tape and then the disappearance of the girder will be visible from afar, and you will always have time to get to it in case of a bite.

Homemade products for do-it-yourself fishing for crucian carp

There is one bait that crucian carp, especially not very large ones, prefer over all others. This is ordinary semolina porridge, but prepared in a special way.

Semolina bait recipe (hot):

pour water into a saucepan, add a couple of drops of flavoring and bring the mixture to a boil;
pour the cereal into a saucepan in a thin stream, stirring continuously until a homogeneous thick mass is obtained;
turn off the heat and leave the porridge to cool and steam at the same time;
when it reaches an acceptable temperature, knead it thoroughly with your hands to achieve even greater density;
to minimize drying of the porridge, wrap it in several layers of gauze;
You can’t wrap porridge in plastic; it suffocates and turns sour very quickly.

This kind of porridge makes good balls for bait on a hook.

Semolina bait recipe (cold):

pour water from a reservoir into a tin can, drip a little flavoring;
stirring constantly, add semolina there;
We continue the process until a homogeneous mass is formed. The thickness is checked as follows: raise the spoon with the porridge over the jar, if it remains on the spoon and does not fall down, the porridge is ready;
set the porridge aside for 10 minutes to swell;
We take a pre-prepared syringe and fill it with the mixture.

The bait is squeezed out of the syringe onto the hook and wrapped around it in a circle, the hook tip being closed last.

DIY fishing crafts for feeder

When feeder fishing, the feeder is a consumable item. It breaks while casting, it gets snagged and a new feeder is needed. In order not to constantly buy new ones, you can make them yourself from scrap materials.

Feeder made from a plastic bottle:

We take an ordinary plastic bottle (preferably green), cut off its neck and bottom.
We mark the resulting plastic and then cut it with scissors into rectangles measuring 6*13 cm.
We roll the finished pieces into a cylinder with an overlap of 1 cm and fix them with a stationery stapler.
On the side surface of the feeder we attach a piece of sheet lead with a loop made of a regular paper clip attached to it.
Using a heated small soldering iron, we burn holes in the feeder in a checkerboard pattern at a distance of 2 cm from each other.
Insert a swivel into the resulting loop.

That's it, the feeder is ready, you can start fishing.

As you probably already understood yourself, there is nothing complicated in making additional homemade fishing devices and, for the most part, they do not require any specific skills or expensive machines for their production.

Therefore, do not be afraid of this, act boldly, invent little things yourself that can simplify the process of fishing or increase the catchability of the gear, and simply while away the long winter evenings.

How long has it been since you had a really BIG CATCH?

When was the last time you caught dozens of HUGE pike/carp/bream?

We always want to get results from fishing - to catch not three perch, but ten kilogram pikes - what a catch! Each of us dreams of this, but not everyone can do it.

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

It can be prepared at home or bought in fishing stores. But stores are expensive, and to prepare bait at home, you need to spend a lot of time, and, to be fair, homemade bait does not always work well.

You know that disappointment when you buy bait or prepare it at home and only catch three or four bass?

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

It gives the same result that we cannot achieve on our own, especially since it is cheap, which distinguishes it from other means and there is no need to spend time on production - you order it, it’s delivered and you’re good to go!

Of course, it is better to try once than to hear a thousand times. Moreover, now is the season! This is a great bonus when ordering!

Find out more about the bait!

Experienced fishermen are confident of success at any time of the year if they have previously made their own fishing gear, taking into account the characteristics of fishing, the type of reservoir and many other factors. There are many secrets to creating your own fishing gear yourself. But you can pay attention to the most popular methods that can be used even by beginners.

Secrets of creating tackle for carp

Carp is one of the most common inhabitants of water bodies in central Russia. In many areas there are fisheries with carp ponds and lakes for paid fishing. But even if you go to their well-maintained shore, an experienced fisherman will definitely take with him the equipment he made himself. These fishing homemade products often become a more reliable guarantee of getting a big catch than the best examples of gear from leading manufacturers.

When performing such “crafts”, the simplest objects present in any private household are used. For example, every expert takes a cunning and careful carp with him when fishing a balalaika I created myself (I will install it). To make it you will need to take:

When assembling such fishing tackle with your own hands, foam is used as a “beacon” showing the place where the tackle is thrown. A fishing line of the required length is attached to it using electrical tape and nylon thread. A sinker is attached to its opposite end. The hook is attached to a sufficiently long leash.

Ideally, fishing homemade products are used, installed in several places. The length of the fishing line and the weight of the load are determined depending on the characteristics of the riverbed and bottom of the reservoir, current and other factors.

When going out to fish for carp, various baits can be used. Experienced fishermen call one of the most convenient among them soaked peas. The plastic clamp will allow you to control the bite.

Homemade products for fishing for carp

Another inhabitant of the underwater depths, popular among fans of quiet hunting with a fishing rod, is the carp. Easy-to-make fishing crafts made from available materials will help you outwit and catch it. The easiest option to implement is a float tackle.

To make it you will need to take:

The finished structure is assembled in a few minutes. All its components must be connected with maximum strength. The weight of carp usually reaches 4 kg or more. This strong inhabitant of the underwater depths can easily break the hook or break the gear.

In reservoirs with calm currents it can be installed bottom version of the tackle. You can even use the “trick”, known to everyone since childhood, which has become the prototype of the feeder that is popular these days. To carry out this option, you will need a strong fishing rod, a fishing line, the length of which can reach 100 m, a float and several hooks at once. It is most convenient to use a bell as a bite alarm. Such homemade products help the fisherman become the owner of a significant catch and, without being constantly on the shore, control the gear.

Features of making gear for winter fishing

These types of gear are convenient for fishing in the cold season. In most cases, homemade products for winter fishing provide the fisherman with the opportunity to move away from the place of quiet hunting and control bites due to the sound signal of a bell attached to the surface of the water or hole in the ice.

Many homemade fishing products become an excellent complement to professional devices. For example, it is popular to manufacture additional elements based on the familiar ballpoint pen. Such devices will help improve spinners and jigs.

Empty rods of various colors are used for production. They are cut into rings and attached to underwater gear. This decor will attract the attention of potential prey. In the winter season, it will additionally attract attention, allowing underwater inhabitants to imagine the opportunity to feast on small fry, rare in winter.

During the cold season, many familiar items come to the aid of the fisherman:

Numerous homemade products for winter fishing are made with your own hands to ensure comfortable fishing from the shore or from the ice next to the hole. It's fun to make these additions yourself.

In conclusion, it is only worth recalling how pleasant this option for spending leisure time in nature is for every fisherman. The preparatory stage of choosing homemade gear turns fishing into an even more interesting hobby. Performing the tackle is accessible to every beginner.

Many fishermen devote all their free time to their favorite pastime, looking for any way to go fishing as quickly as possible. And while some cannot imagine life without store-bought tackle and bait, others constantly make fishing tackle with their own hands, claiming that they are no less effective than store-bought products. The main thing is that they are made correctly.

DIY silicone baits

A variety of artificial baits are used for fishing with spinning tackle. Particularly popular are silicone products, which create a high-quality imitation of the behavior of live fish and attract predators well. However, such baits are subject to wear and tear, so with prolonged use, contact with ferocious fish or other mechanical stress, they lose their appearance and are no longer suitable for further fishing. But is there any point in throwing them away after that? Of course not. After all, if you put together several silicones, you can use them to create new, quite attractive attachments.

So, the step-by-step guide for recycling old silicone products is as follows:

Making wobblers at home

Also, many fishermen know how to make homemade wobblers for pike with their own hands, saving themselves from the high costs of purchasing expensive store-bought models. The process itself looks very fun and simple, because it does not require the use of special equipment or tools.

If you are going to make a wobbler, follow these instructions:

Homemade spoons for pike and perch

Another indispensable fishing accessory is a spoon. There are two popular varieties of these lures - rotating and oscillating. The first type is very easy to make, provided that you have minimal skills in working with tools and materials . During the manufacturing process it is necessary to apply:

An ordinary paper clip.
Tee.
A metal plate, 0.5−1 mm thick.
A tiny bead.
A piece of sheet lead.
File, needle files, scissors and pliers.

At the beginning of the work, the shape of a petal for the future bait is drawn on a piece of cardboard, after which the drawing is transferred to the metal. You need to take scissors and carefully cut the petal from a metal blank, after which it should be carefully processed with a file to prevent the appearance of burrs and other defects. Two holes are made along the edges of the petal (one on each edge), and a file is also processed. Places where there are holes can be bent 90 degrees relative to the petal. Next, all that remains is to take the wire and straighten it, and at one end form a loop and install a treble hook.

Then you need to put a petal and a bead on the same wire, and then again form a loop for attaching the fishing line. Moreover, it is important to again make a loop on which the fishing line will be attached so that it does not interfere with the free rotation of the petal.

In order for a homemade bait to work well enough, it must be properly configured using the additional loading method. A lead weight should be installed between the tee and the petal, calculating everything with great care. At the last stage of making the spinner, all that remains is to give it the required color.

Not a secret that to cast the tackle over a long distance from your own location, as well as to reliably immerse the tackle to depth, it is necessary to use a suitable sinker. And although in some cases fishermen use any metal objects with the appropriate weight, if you approach the issue of making a sinker correctly, this will increase the chances of successful fishing in any conditions.

The following requirements apply to a quality sinker:

It must be heavy, so it is preferable to choose lead as the base, which has the highest density among all other materials available to the average fisherman.
It must have a streamlined shape with a perfectly smooth surface, because when casting, the sinker succumbs to aerodynamic forces, and any roughness disrupts the flight range.
It must have a reliable fixation point with the fishing line.
It should remain invisible so as not to cause increased caution in the fish.
It must be accessible.

Making a sinker for fishing with your own hands is not difficult.

Many experienced anglers cast a lead sinker in an aluminum spoon. To do this you should take:

First you need to place the selected vessel for smelting on a burner or fire, and then place small lead there. After waiting for the metal to melt, it should be placed in a spoon. After the material hardens, it can be separated from the aluminum surface of the spoon and used as a sinker.

Creating a live bait trap

Not a secret, that the issue of storing live bait for spinning pike fishing worries many fishermen. And if in spring or autumn live bait remains viable for a long time and remains mobile, then in summer they can die in a couple of hours. But catching new ones may take too much time, and the fisherman does not always have the appropriate gear with him. However, if you make a simple and uncomplicated device from two plastic bottles, the problem will automatically disappear.

Step by step guide to making a trap:

So, first you need to take a two-liter bottle and cut off the neck. Then, on the same side, you need to cut off the neck in a wide part, which will allow you to get a part that resembles a watering can. The bottom of this bottle is still cut off.
We take the second bottle and cut off its bottom, at a distance of 5-7 cm from the maximum thickness.
Next, the structure should be assembled by inserting the cut “watering can” back, but now in the opposite way, placing the thinnest section inside. As a result, the structure is connected to each other with artificial threads.
A weight and rope should be attached to the trap.

To test the device in real conditions, you need to place bait in it and lower it to the bottom of the reservoir where fishing takes place. Small fish will immediately become interested in an attractive bait and try to eat it. Once she is trapped, there is no way back. Now, when you need to find live bait, it will always be there.

How to make a zherlitsa with your own hands

For winter fishing for predatory fish, in particular pike, as well as large pike perch, it is customary to use a jig and a popular tackle - a girder. And although it was invented a long time ago, many experienced and novice fishermen are constantly interested in making such a tool with their own hands. In fact, it is easy to make a vent, because its design remains simple and uncomplicated.

As the basis for the future gear, a sewer PVC pipe 32 millimeters thick is used, which should be divided into 10-15 cm sections. Any unevenness and external defects can be smoothed out with a file.

Then three holes should be made in the pipe: two are made on one side, one against the other, which is necessary to fix the tripod, and one on the reverse side, where it will act as a line stopper.

The stopper is formed in the shape of the letter “P”, and it should not interfere with the free movement of the fishing line. Then you need to create a ring of fishing line with a diameter of 0.4-0.5 millimeters. Its purpose is to attach the girder to a metal rod that will be driven into the ice. Also, up to 10 meters of fishing line is wound around a piece of pipe, to the end of which a weight and a hook, preferably a tee, are attached.

Homemade baits for crucian carp

In addition to gear and other important devices, many fishermen create effective bait for fish. It is no secret that for each underwater inhabitant it is necessary to select the appropriate bait composition. Otherwise, the desired trophy will simply ignore the offered bait and go deeper.

If we talk about catching crucian carp, then to increase the efficiency of the upcoming fishing, you can use a unique product based on semolina, which should be prepared according to a special recipe.

So, first you need to pour water into a container and add a few drops of flavoring, and then put it on the fire and bring to a boil. Semolina is placed in boiling water and constantly stirred until a homogeneous thick mass is formed. Then the fire is turned off, and the porridge is moved to the appropriate place to cool and steam. As soon as it reaches room temperature, you can begin to knead it with your hands, which will increase its density. Then the porridge is wrapped in several layers of gauze, but not with polyethylene. Based on this mixture, balls are created and placed on a hook.

In addition to the above instructions for making fishing devices, there are many others that are amazing in their effectiveness and ease of installation. Therefore, if you do not want to support someone else's business, and believe that homemade baits and tackle can be effective for any fishing conditions, continue to look for instructions and ways to create such products from available materials.

Attention, TODAY only!

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 homemade fishing tools for summer fishing will help with this. Therefore, there are a great many ways to fish, as well as varieties of fishing tackle, everyone selects them to suit their own needs, and some even create several home-made fishing products for summer fishing. This could be a simple hand-made wooden stick with fishing line and worms, or a high-tech novelty, complemented by your own spinners and modern baits for predatory fish.

And it doesn’t matter how you prefer to fish: the old fashioned way or using modern gadgets - a homemade fishing device for summer fishing will help you adjust a ready-made device to your requirements. Since ancient times, fishermen had to make everything themselves, and even in the modern world, many experienced people prefer to rely on equipment they created themselves, which will never fail, unlike purchased ones.

This practice is common because factory production is set up to create crafts that will suit as many situations as possible, and with rare exceptions they do not take into account many details.

So, what can you do yourself to make summer fishing easier if you are new to this activity?

No matter how developed your imagination is and no matter how varied your DIY fishing gear may look, they can still be classified into one of 8 main types:

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

With rare exceptions, almost all fishing homemade products fall under this type, and if you miss fishing rods and boats that are difficult to implement, then you can make most of the other gear yourself.

A very common and indispensable equipment when hunting predatory fish:

Thanks to vibrations due to the flow of the river or the movement of the fishing rod, it allows you to imitate fish or other small animals.
Easy to make and use.

It is most convenient to use them in conjunction with a spinning rod, and these are the simplest fishing homemade products that anyone can do. In order to make homemade spinners, it is enough to make “petals”, which are cut out of metal according to pre-marked templates. 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 straight line. Next, this entire structure is secured to the main fishing line in a simple way.
You can experiment with templates from the Internet or create your own, but to make the work easier, it is better to use ductile metals that are not subject to rapid oxidation.

Float

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

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

hook support at a given depth;
bite signal.

In reality, everything is completely different, and, depending on modifications, this simple equipment can perform dozens of different functions. If we talk about the design, then it is a simple “stick” attached to a fishing line, the lower part of which is in the water, and the upper part is above it and should record the movements of the hook. This base can be supplemented in a variety of ways, as evidenced by the many varieties of floats, and each fits its own individual situation, performing specific tasks.
Creating a float at home is accessible to anyone, because its main characteristic is its 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 weight on one side, in simple terms.
