In the house of every fisherman there is a whole mass of objects that are suitable for self-production of gear. In the presented material, I would like to talk about how to make a spoon bait. The search for the answer to this question will continue.
What are the benefits of self-made spinners?
As practice shows, it is possible to make a spoon-bait with the use of an ordinary tablespoon of strength for each angler as the basis. Added to this are insignificant cash costs that will be spent only on the purchase of small components to create gear.
How to make a spoon-bait from a spoon? In the process of studying this issue, the master opens up wide scope for all kinds of experiments, the implementation of original ideas and manifestations of fantasy. Thus, you can create an unlimited number of gear, each of which will differ in its own characteristics.
Materials
How to make a spoon on a pike ? This will require the following:
- the spoon itself, made of a stainless, quite thin material;
- thin wire;
- winding rings;
- triple hook;
- several swivel.
Base selection
How to make spoon bait? Before proceeding to specific actions, it is necessary to choose a suitable object that will act as the basis of the gear. The best option is to use a small dessert spoon. The dining room may be too heavy and large, so it will be good for hunting exclusively large predatory fish.
Choosing a teaspoon will allow you to use tackle on the least powerful spinning rods. Its small size will allow fishing of a relatively small size: perch, chub, asp.
As for the nature of the metal from which the spoon is made, here you can give preference to any alloy, from stainless steel to silver. To process the material, you may need a file, a hacksaw for metal, pliers, a hand or electric drill.
How to make a spoon spinner with your own hands?
First you need to separate the handle of the spoon from its rounded part. For this, it is worth using a file, outlining the place where the cut will be performed. It is advisable to separate the stalk of the product with some allowance. This will leave enough space for the breakdown of the holes for the winding rings.
It is convenient to separate the handle from the spoon with a hacksaw. Having coped with the task, all defects and roughness must be leveled with the help of the same file. The remaining cuttings are not recommended for disposal. If you want, you can also make a pretty good long-range lure from it. However, we will talk about this later.
Next, you need to make holes along the edges of the rounded part of the workpiece with a drill. To do this, you should select a drill of such a diameter so that the winding rings freely enter the formed holes. Before resorting to drilling, it is worth holding a spoon in a vice. If this is not possible, you need to find an assistant who will hold the workpiece with pliers. Burrs at drilling sites can be removed with a file.
Then it’s enough to take a few crown rings and connect them to the workpiece. It is not recommended to use too small rings. Because they can impede the free movement of gear in the water.
A tee should be used as a hook. Its size should correspond to the dimensions of homemade gear. The hook must be connected to the swivel, which should be fixed in the hole on the workpiece using wire.
Spoon spoon handle
So we figured out how to make a spoon from a spoon, namely its rounded part. Now let's look at the features of making tackle gear.
To increase the catchability of the bait, it is necessary to bend the handle of the spoon at the ends. Using the same drill, you need to make holes in them to secure the fishing line and hook. It is recommended to install the hook on a wide part of the handle. In this situation, a home-made spinner will look more like a small fish.
Additional equipment
Having figured out how to make a spoon from a spoon, you should think about equipping its tee part with an additional bait. As the latter, you can use shiny tinsel or the so-called vibrotail. A bright woolen thread is also suitable for this.
On the surface of a home-made spinner you can mark the eye of a fish. In addition, it is worth painting one side or drawing transverse stripes here. All this will increase the number of bites.
Finally
The spinner is still one of the most effective gear for catching large predatory fish. As you can see, it is not so difficult to make it with your own hands, taking as a basis an ordinary tablespoon. Such a bait sways smoothly in the water, reminding the predator of a small weakened fish, and makes him instinctively want to grab prey.
