Everyone once fished in childhood. In youth, some did. In maturity, only true professionals do this. This is not strange! After all, such an occupation requires steel endurance and patience. Not everyone is able to get up before sunrise and go to the bosom of nature in search of food, as it was in ancient times.
Passionate fishing enthusiasts prefer not only to buy the best equipment for their hobbies in stores, but also to experiment with various inventions that are designed to facilitate the fishing process. It is a great pleasure for many to craft certain gears with their own hands, and sometimes the result is not so much important to them as the process itself. Let's talk about how to make a feeder with your own hands.
This word can mean both the rod as a whole and the feeder for it. Let's start with a brief look at how the second is made. It is easy to make a feeder, having good sinkers and a net available. The latter must first be soldered. Do the same with the wire on which the sinker is attached. To make a suitable shape, you need a bar around which you need to go around a piece of mesh of the required size. After soldering the edges, you need to take the wire and twist in its center to make a small loop. With the help of the remaining ends, a sinker is attached, and for strength, all this is also soldered.
Now let's talk about the rod itself: about its structure and how it can be created using your own efforts and ingenuity. For novice fishermen, who also have a positive attitude to needlework, and even long-time fishing professionals, this information is sure to benefit.
What is a feeder device ? It can be divided into three classes. We list them. Slow fishing rods bend smoothly into an arc, starting from the handle. The middle order is less smooth, starting in the middle. Fast action rods bend only with their end. The length depends on the volume of the reservoir: the more - the longer. The feeder feeder can be different in type and size. We examined its structure and manufacturing method earlier.
If desired, everyone can assemble a feeder with their own hands! To do this, you need a stick from 3.30 to 4.20 m in length. Any rod can serve as such a stick or, as a matter of fact, a feeder. Paint its end in a bright color so that it does not merge with the environment. Next, buy a reel and fishing line (0.16 mm is suitable for catching ordinary fish). And the final stage of creating a feeder is the choice of equipment. To assemble the feeder with your own hands, you will need a sinker, galvanized wire mesh, steel or copper wire for securing the load. The grid must be given a cylindrical shape - round it around a wooden block. Then you need to solder it. We twist the wire so that at the end we get a loop for the carbine. Weights are attached to its free ends. As a result, we must make the feeder with our own hands. Remember: whoever wants to do is looking for a way, and who does not want is looking for an excuse.
