Almost all experienced anglers try to make winders for winter fishing on their own, because industrial products often do not suit them in quality. Why buy tackle in the store, and then engage in its completion? After all, for any newcomer to fishing, it is easier to find out the recommendations of experienced fishermen on how to make a winter do-it- yourself zerglitz .
Gerlitsa is considered one of the most widespread and attractive fishing tackle in many regions of our vast country. It has been proving its viability for many decades, because the idea embodied in this method of fishing continues to surprise fishermen with excellent results in any reservoir.
The device
In the cold season, the pike almost ceases to bite on the spinner with the balancer, so many experienced anglers use the self-made winter lanterns as the main tool for catching this toothy predator.
Conventionally, these devices can be divided into zerilniki for fishing in open water and winter, used on ice, but at the same time their design is almost unchanged.
The device consists of the following parts:
- snap;
- reels with the necessary supply of fishing line;
- racks;
- bite alarm devices.
The principle of operation of a do-it-yourself zergelnik on a pike is based on the operation of a flag during a bite.
Device snap
Regardless of the design features, the equipment of all the vents is the same and depends on the type of fish and pond where fishing is planned.
Zherlitsy in winter do-it-yourself mounts as follows:
- fishing line with a thickness of 0.3-0.4 mm of the color corresponding to the pond;
- at the end of the main fishing line a leash of flexible metal material or a thicker vein;
- sliding sinker;
- sharp single, double or triple hook.
A leash for a do-it-yourself lantern is used up to one meter long, depending on the depth of the pond.
The weight of the sinker is selected in accordance with the size of the live bait, the strength of the current and the depth of the reservoir. The main thing is that it holds the bait at the required depth. In shallow areas you can use tackle without a sinker.
To catch a toothy predator, a double or triple hook is more often used to exclude fish gatherings. Experienced anglers advise mounting it on a fishing line through a leash using special carbines.
Advantages of catching on a lap-dog
Many anglers do not take fishing with a lantern seriously, as they consider it to be inactive. But this is a mistake, because if the bite is characterized by high intensity, you will have to work hard, running between the illuminating flags.
Do-it-yourself gadgets made in winter have a number of advantages:
- The versatility of gear is confirmed by the possibility of using it in any body of water. A self-made zerglia shows excellent results both in small ponds and in large bodies of water. After all, with the help of this device you can keep bait fish both in the shallows and in the deep pits of the water area.
- The simplicity of the design attracts even novice anglers who can easily master the process of making their own do-it-yourself winter fishing lantern.
- The effectiveness of the device is based on the ability to fish all year round. Indeed, this tackle is catchy even in the winter, when other fishing methods are practically ineffectual.
- The low cost of making do-it-yourself zergirls becomes clear after visiting the nearest fishing store. All components of the device are inexpensive and are not in short supply.
The disadvantages of this method of fishing
The disadvantages of using gerlin gear are more reasons that relate directly to the fishing process itself than to their design features.
So, you can highlight some of the nuances that cause difficulties in using a do-it-yourself zergel:
- Moving on the ice of a pond and arranging gear is a laborious task even for physically developed people.
- Harvesting fresh bait fish requires the use of additional gear and effort. Live bait can be caught directly in the pond or prepared in advance, while paying particular attention to its activity.
- Also, a comfortable fishing process is often prevented by entanglement of gear in windy and snowy weather.
Types of women
Structurally, the girders are mainly classified by the shape and method of their attachment to the surface of the reservoir or the coastal strip. The composition of any tackle necessarily includes a holder with a storage reel for fishing line and a bite signaling device.
Therefore, before you make a zergirl with your own hands, you need to familiarize yourself with the types of commonly used gear. It:
- Zherlitsa on the platform;
- rail device;
- fixture on a vertical rack;
- zherlitsa on legs (taganok);
- Changeling.
These types of devices are most often used for winter fishing. In the summer, it’s much easier to make classic do-it-yourself zergniks, such as stag beetle and a circle.
Platform device
A small piece of fiberglass, plywood or plastic is suitable as the basis for the manufacture of do-it-yourself zerglas. The shape of the workpiece can be either square or rectangular, or round or oval. At the base, a slot and a hole for the vein are made. At the top, a bite alarm and fishing line reel are installed.
The reel must have a supply of fishing line and free play, since the predator should, capturing live bait, wind the vein a bit, without feeling resistance, so as not to be alert and not leave the bait.
To manufacture the signaling device, you need to take an elastic plate from the clock or spring mechanism, attach a piece of bright fabric to its upper part. When biting, the flag straightens and informs the fisherman that the fish swallowed live bait.
Zherlitsa on the rail
This embodiment of gerlin gear is almost similar to the device on the platform, only has a more compact design and is very simple to manufacture.
To make such a device, you need:
- Take a rectangular wooden lath of the appropriate size, larger than the diameter of the hole for fishing.
- The fishing line must be passed into the hole that is drilled in the middle of the rail.
- We set the reel with fishing line on one end of the strap, and on the other we attach the flag of the signaling device.
The design is ready. It is only very difficult to use such a device on snowy ice, since the flag is difficult to see from a long distance.
Upright Fixture
This ventilator is made most often from metal. But often problems arise with its installation on ice, you have to collect a handful of snow in order to fix the gear.
In the summer, this process is much easier to produce, but the metal heats up, so sometimes it is uncomfortable to work with your bare hands.
Making a zergla on one leg is as follows:
- A leg is made from an aluminum tube or a metal corner, which is sharpened on one side, which improves the installation of the structure.
- Next, at the other end of the leg, a flag and a coil are installed.
- It is better to use a plastic reel with a small supply of fishing line.
- The bite alarm is made of elastic steel wire or spring from the watch.
The disadvantage of this design is the time spent on its installation during active fishing.
Taganka design
A three-legged zerlitsa is called a taganka by fishermen. The structure of this design includes a three-legged stand made of aluminum, a reel with fishing line and a signal pole. The manufacture of such equipment requires the necessary locksmith skills, as well as the ability to work with a special tool.
Taganok is installed directly above the hole. But only with a strong wind or a bite of a large pike, a fall of the lantern can occur.
Zherlitsa Changeling
The design of such a device is a plastic tube, which at the same time serves as a bite signaling device and a storehouse of fishing line stock. A removable type cross-piece of metal rods is inserted into the tube.
When swallowing live bait, the device dives halfway into ice with water, and the other brightly colored end serves as an indicator of bite. In this case, the vein is reset, providing free movement to the predator. The crosspiece does not allow the entire zergel to go under water, holding it at the edges of the hole.
Such a simple and light construction has recently attracted the attention of both beginners and experienced anglers.
Summer classic ventricles
Many anglers recommend, before making a do-it-yourself zerkla on a pike, to try this method of fishing with a simple horn.
A splitting is made at the end of the stag, which is designed to secure the fishing line. Then the whole structure is fixed on a large branch and lowered into the water. The disadvantage of this tackle is the lack of a bite signaling device, so you have to periodically check for catch yourself.
Mugworms are also very popular, especially in open water. In these devices, fishing line is wound on a side groove made in the round case of the device. When biting, the circle turns over, and a bright color indicates that a fish has been caught.
Self-made fishing for zergirls is an exciting and highly productive activity. It is only necessary to remember that it is prohibited by law to use more than five girders at one time.
