With the advent of winter, many anglers do not leave this interesting activity. They put summer gear aside and arm themselves with winter rods, since they differ significantly from each other. Winter fishing is also characterized by the fact that completely different baits are used here, including artificial ones. Fishing in winter involves the use of winter lures, which are quite catchy. Moreover, you can either buy them in a store or on the market, or make them yourself with your own hands. For most anglers, this process is no less interesting than the process of fishing itself. Therefore, they carefully prepare for the winter season, making various elements of winter equipment on their own, including baubles.
The use of perch lures, compared to traditional baits such as bloodworms or worms, allows you to catch larger perches, reaching them at great depths. As a rule, large perch always stay in deep water areas, compared to smaller individuals that prefer to feed closer to the shore.
Since the spinner has some weight, it quickly sinks to the depth and resists the current, which can lure large perch. In addition, the spinner is noticeable from a great distance, as it can be up to 10 cm in size.
The main characteristics of spinners for perch
The main task of the spinner is to lure a predator from a considerable distance. If her game does not tempt the perch, then we can assume that the lure has failed and her place is in the garage, and not on a fishing trip. For the spinner to work, it must be given the desired shape, weight and size. The larger the spinner, the larger specimen can be caught. But this does not mean at all that the boundaries of the size of the spinner do not exist. As a rule, small perch are caught on spinners, up to 50 mm in size, and larger specimens are caught on bait, up to 100 mm in size.
When choosing a lure for a perch, one should not forget about the small details that additionally lure the predator. These can be images of fish eyes, imitation of blood stains, drawings of scales or fins.
When you go fishing, you should not forget about bait, as well as bait. Moreover, the size of the spinner may depend on the nature of the chosen bait. When using large bait, the number of hooks also increases.
Catchable winter baubles for perch: description and drawings
Making baubles for winter fishing does not require a lot of money and time. Some craftsmen make such baits within one hour, and the tools for this can be found in the barn or garage of any fisherman.
It is really possible to find a similar source material for making bait at home or in the trash. The jar for canned food is made of thin metal, therefore, a lure made of this material is more suitable for perch fishing in stagnant waters where there is no current.
In the manufacture, you will need the following materials and tools:
Tin.
Metal scissors.
Awl.
Sandpaper.
Hook or tee number 7.
Two winding rings.
Manufacturing technology:
Preparatory work is reduced to the preparation of a metal plate. To do this, take scissors for metal and cut out a flat sheet of thin metal from a tin can.
After that, everything superfluous is removed from the plate: paint, paper, etc.
On a sheet of metal, the shape of the future bait is drawn, about 5-7 cm in size.
Using scissors for metal, according to the figure, the shape of the future lure is cut out.
All burrs are removed with sandpaper.
With the help of an awl, two holes are made for the winding rings.
The next step is polishing the spinner.
At the next stage, the petal is given the desired shape. To do this, you can use a regular spoon. To bend the spinner, you need to take a soft object and press on the petal until it takes the appropriate shape.
After that, clockwork rings and hooks are attached to the spinner.
In conclusion, appropriate drawings are made on the body of the spinner with nail polish.
After the varnish has dried, the lure can be used. Naturally, it is unlikely that you will be able to catch a weighty perch on such a lure, but it is quite possible to secure intense bites from small perches.
Small lure from tweezers
Such a spinner, like a pilker, is made from a monolithic piece of a metal such as silver, copper or brass. If the spinner is not large, then the body of the spinner can be made from ordinary tweezers.
For manufacturing, you will need the following materials and tools:
Tweezers.
File.
Electric drill.
The drill is not large.
Sandpaper.
Pair of winding rings.
Single hooks or tees.
Manufacturing sequence:
The contour of the future bait is drawn on the tweezers.
Along the contour, with a hacksaw for metal, the body of the pilker is cut out.
Sharp edges should preferably be filed.
From both ends of the artificial bait, you need to drill holes for the clockwork rings.
After that, the almost finished spinner is polished.
Finally, clockwork rings and hooks are attached to the body of the lure.
Such a bait, like a pilker, is made without much effort from the handle of an ordinary spoon. The manufacturing technique is the same as in the previous case, it is enough to cut the workpiece of the desired length from the handle. The main task is to grind the workpiece properly so that it is visible in the water from afar. In addition, any painted elements, such as eyes or fins, will not interfere with the body of the bait, which will be an additional attracting factor.
The Akme company produces the so-called "three-sided", which are considered good baubles for winter fishing. At the same time, it can be easily repeated with a minimum of effort.
To make the body of such a bait, it is enough to take a piece of aluminum cable core, up to 1 cm wide and up to 6 cm long.
Technological stages of production:
The body of the bait is cut so that it resembles a trapezoid in shape.
Thin holes are drilled from both ends of the body of the bait.
Clockwork rings and hooks are put on these holes.
Such a bait weighs 5-7 grams and is capable of catching large perch in deep areas of the reservoir.
"Kastmater" is produced by the company "Akme" and is considered a fairly catchy spinner. But it is not necessary to buy it, as you can easily do it yourself.
For this you need to have:
A piece of copper tube, up to 10 mm in diameter.
Electric drill.
Thin drills.
Hacksaw for metal.
Blowtorch.
Sandpaper.
Protractor.
Files.
Clockwork rings.
Tee (hook).
Manufacturing technique:
The copper tube is marked so that on one side there is a slope of 17 degrees.
On the second side, an angle of 23 degrees is marked.
With a hacksaw for metal, the body of the spinner is cut off according to the marked angles.
The result should be a shape resembling an elongated washer.
The inside of the spinner should be filled with solder.
On one and the other side of the spinner, holes are drilled for winding rings.
The body of the spinner must be carefully sanded with sandpaper.
Attach the winding rings to the bait and install the tee.
As practice shows, home-made baubles are no less catchy than the branded Castmaster. In addition, the lure can be painted as you wish, which makes it especially attractive. As a result, a good mood from a good game of bait.
This, simple at first glance, spinner breaks all records in terms of catchability. In this regard, every lover of winter perch fishing has it. This lure is characterized by an interesting game in the water column, which makes it quite catchy, and fishing is exciting. In addition, artificial bait has a long service life.
Spinner "Malek" is easy to manufacture and does not require special skills, as well as the presence of special materials. The main material for its manufacture is a corrugated plumbing pipe. The spinner is quite effective in the winter, despite the simplicity of the design.
How to make a spinner from a corrugated pipe:
To do this, you need to take a segment of a similar pipe and draw on it the contours of the future baubles. The approximate dimensions of the spinner are as follows: length - 5 cm, on one side 3 mm wide, and on the other side 8 mm.
The next stage - the body of the bait is cut out along the drawn lines.
Holes are drilled on both sides of the workpiece (one at a time).
The body of the spinner is polished and very carefully.
On the spinner "Malek" you can install both a single hook and a tee.
Artificial threads should be attached to the hook (tee) so that they can mask the hook.
Such a spinner is distinguished by a very active game, which attracts a predator. Since the body of the bait has an uneven surface, when moving, it emits peculiar acoustic waves. As a rule, the perch cannot resist this spinner and immediately attacks it.
There is another lure that actively catches perch - this is the Maropedka lure. There is a huge variety of artificial ice fishing lures on the market or in specialized stores. Unfortunately, they cost money, which not every fisherman can afford, especially since any lure can really be made at home.
As a rule, spinners are made independently by those anglers who like the manufacturing process itself. If you approach this responsibly, then you get copies that are no worse than the factory ones, or even better. In addition, fishing on a do-it-yourself lure is much more interesting and reckless.
