Not sports, but quite interesting and gambling tackle - this is an elastic band for fishing. Almost every fishing enthusiast used it at least once in his life. And for those who have not yet managed, this article is intended.
Such tackle is very easy to manufacture and quite productive. After all, we throw it almost in the same place, so we keep the fish in a certain area. The bottom line is simple: with the help of a
rubber band we send nozzles into the water.
Gum device
Consider what an elastic band is for fishing. Doing it yourself is not a problem, because it consists of the gum itself, reel, fishing line, hooks, leashes, swivels, springs, feeders.
Elastic
Gum can be purchased at almost any fishing store. The choice is quite large. You should take the average in the price category, as it is sufficiently strong and reliable. The length of the gum makes it possible to predict the casting distance of the equipment. It stretches for about 1: 5, that is, ten meters of gum will bring the bait at a distance of 40 meters from the coast.
Motovilce
The reel is designed for winding fishing lines and elastic bands, with the aim of convenient transportation and fishing. Such handmade crafts for fishing, like a reel, are easy to make from improvised materials. For example, you can cut from a 15 mm board or plywood.
Fishing line
It makes no sense to use a thin fishing line as the basis for the gum, as it will often get tangled, torn. The best option is to use a fishing line with a section of 0.3-0.4 mm. There are no other fishing line requirements for this fishing method.
Hooks, leashes and their attachment to the main fishing line
Very easy to install rubber band for fishing. With our own hands we knit leashes,
hooks. We select the
hooks depending on the nozzle used, as well as on the type of fish you are counting on. The optimal leash length should be about 6-8 centimeters. Too long will lead to entanglement of gear for each other, and short ones will significantly reduce the number of bites.
It is necessary to use swivels as an anti-twist.
Springs, feeders
In order to keep the fish in the place of fishing, it is necessary to feed it. Complete gum feeders in the amount of one or two pieces will help to cope with this task. It is desirable to place one feeder in the middle between the hooks, the second - at the junction of the gum and fishing line. Thus, we get the possibility of point feeding, and only the feeder and elastic band for fishing possess this property. With your own hands made, such a tackle has several advantages over the purchased one, since there are no feeders in the latter, and you will have to redo it.
Some tips
- To immerse the gum to the bottom, if necessary, you can use several small weights at the junction of the gum and fishing line. And vice versa, if the fish is on top, you can raise the gum with a small buoy from the polystyrene attached at the junction of the gum with the fishing line.
- It is desirable that the leashes be removable and quickly dismantled, in which case it is easy to replace the hooks.
- It is advisable to take a heavy sinker so that the elastic does not move it. You can attach a buoy to the sinker and import it from the boat, and remove it after fishing.
- The ability to catch different distances and depths has only an elastic band for fishing. With their own hands, made gear can not only fish productively, but also adapt to the individual requirements of the angler.
