Spinners for winter fishing- These are metal plates that have an elongated shape, with a variety of equipment. By changing the shape, size ratio, thickness, location of the center of gravity, color, suspension on a fishing line, equipment with hooks and additional elements, a very large variety of winter baubles is achieved.
Spinners for fishing
The manufacture of baubles for winter fishing is made from various metal materials, as a rule, from non-ferrous ones. Light-colored spinners are made of tin, as well as nickel and silver, dark ones are made of copper, brass alloys are light yellowish, there are also combined spinners white on one side and yellowish on the opposite side. The spinner has a tee with one or two hooks. As a rule, perfectly polished baubles with an even yellowish sheen are used for fishing.
Types of lures for winter fishing
Spinners for winter fishing can be divided into two major classes.
spinners with a vertical suspension on a fishing line;
catchy winter spinners with a horizontal suspension, or balancers.
Spinners for winter fishing are fundamentally different from the summer way of playing. Lures for winter fishing are usually made narrower than summer ones.
The simplest spinner can use a symmetrical metal plate with a simple or complex bend. By changing the bend, the speed and angle of incidence will also change. Lightweight gliders are equipped with a single soldered hook, as hanging tees greatly change the game and make it uncontrollable. It is quite difficult to catch these spinners. You need to have some experience, strictly choose not only the playing technique, but also, depending on the depth, the thickness of the fishing line

Homemade spinners
Such spinners can conditionally be divided into two kinds:
baits with a strict hook fastening;
swivel nozzles.
One can argue for a long time which one is better. Each type of bait has its own characteristics, both in application and in animation methods.
All homemade ice fishing baubles have a different game, even when they are made according to the same template. It is best to set up bait games at home, in the bathroom.
With the help of a needle file and pliers, you can achieve the necessary game. Then place the adjusted bait separately, rather than storing all the baits together.
Winter spinners, thanks to soldering of lead or other metal, change their center of gravity down, closer to the hook. The configuration of the petal of the spinner, its weight and the location of the center of gravity are selected so that the spinner, plunging, goes vertically to the side - planned. When the spinner repeats the same movements during the fall, then this spinner should be recognized as “working”. When the spinner behaves differently with each fall, as well as planning, or “goes into a tailspin”, then there is no question of a catch.
Different types of spinners
Spinners for pike fishing
For pike fishing, as a rule, relatively wide, gliding, slowly sinking spinners are used. The game should be extremely monotonous. Among the spinners for pike, there are also spinners, in which the center of gravity is not in the lower region, but in the upper one. Although such "pike" spinners play completely differently than the above "perch" ones. A pike lure with a center of gravity at the top, when jerked upwards, performs a diving movement into the swing area. After a wave upwards, this spinner carries out the movement by inertia and then goes into planning. These spinners are equipped with hanging tees.
I want to immediately warn novice fishermen that catching pike on a vertical lure in a pond where these fish are relatively few is difficult, but possible. For successful fishing, it is necessary not only to have good baubles and be able to handle them, but also to please this lure pike literally under his breath when he goes hunting. A pike on a lure is most likely to be caught in a small river, where it is easier to calculate the point of its stay. Pike perch sometimes have to be caught in a relatively intense current, and this is only possible with a heavy lure.
Crochet spinner equipment
In addition to the shape of the spinner itself, it is essential. Usually light spinners are supplied with single soldered hooks of considerable size. The advantages of such spinners are obvious: during the dive, their hook does not recline on the body of the spinner, but constantly “looks” up, which is very important for effective hooking and stable planning. However, such spinners often "knock" perch, but do not hook. As a result, many spinners are made with double, and often triple soldered hooks.
They are not bad when you fish at a point where there are few bushes and snags on the bottom. Such spinners are not intended for pulling along the bottom. It should also be noted that soldered hooks are supplied with most zander lures.
Heavy and large spinners for pike and perch are much more often supplied with hanging hooks. As a rule, this is a small tee on a winding ring. When the perch is sleepy, which happens not only at the beginning of winter, but also during bad weather conditions, it is effective to use spinners with a single hanging hook. It makes no sense to equip the hooks with some red hairs for the sake of attracting the attention of the fish. Wool must be used in order to modify the game of spinners. A large bunch of wool on the hook slows down the progress of the lure in the water, sometimes it is very useful, and sometimes not. Although in any case, additional components on the hook such as hairs or beads, as well as perch eyes or bloodworms, should be used with extreme caution.

Conclusion
Spinners have proven themselves well, which combine components and "devil" and spinners in their device. This combination turned out to be extremely successful. Instead of a tee, a light "devil" is hooked on the lure. The petal is preferably narrow than wide. Color does not play a significant role, although I like yellow, because it is more important to choose the right size of the lure petal and the size of the tee.
