Making winter spinners for perch according to drawings with your own hands. Winter lure for perch

• 1 Catching perch with a goat The secret of the success of the “goat” became clear when I was catching perch on the first ice in a quarry with crystal clear water, where all the bites were visible. Previously, I did not understand why baits with equal bite rates actually brought different amounts of fish, and sometimes the average size of the fish biting on them was different. With two sharp hooks set at 45°, the number of self-hooks of the perch was significantly greater than in the case of mothless hooks with one hook. When fishing with a “goat”, I “closely” more than once observed the moment of attack, when the perch weakly grabbed the bait and immediately pulled it down and to the side, feeling the sting, but could no longer spit out the bait. Even if the perch did not hook itself, it was clearly more difficult for it to spit out the bait with two hooks than with one. At the same time, he grabbed the “devil” somehow differently than the “goat”. Most often, he did not swallow the “devil” whole, but was caught on two or one hook, and often got purple at the very tip of his lip on the outside. When the fishing was not carried out “closely,” all this manifested itself in the fact that the perch confidently bent its nod downwards, and I managed to hook it, while with other baits there were more often idle and quick bites and blows, or after a bite there were annoying blows “on the lips." In this case, both hooks of the “goat” almost always ended up in the mouth of the fish, or the second hook was pressed to its lip. Therefore, there was simply nothing for the “goat” to cling to the lower edge of the hole. On Ladoga, you often get most of the day’s catch from several, sometimes one or two catchable holes, when you get to the “distribution”. Any mistake at such a moment leads to the loss of a significant part of the catch. It is more difficult for a large perch, and even a whitefish, to tear its lip and fall off two hooks. And with active biting, when the perch deeply grabs the bait, it is easier to pull out a deeply swallowed “goat” from the gills than a “devil”. In publications about microjigging, I came across a certain rule about bait for perch, which said: “five millimeters less - a few more perch.” When comparing “devil” and “goat” of comparable size, the difference in the overall diameter of the bait is clearly visible. Because of the three hooks, the “devil” has a body volume of the bait between the hooks that is always significantly larger than that of the “goat”, with a similar-looking size. The diameter of the “goat” rewinder is smaller than that of the “devil”, by just 5-6 mm. Then it turned out that this bait is quite versatile and suitable for catching other species of fish. I had a chance to fish well in shallow water in the Gulf of Finland and in other bodies of water. Small roaches, ruffs and bleaks attack the “goat” several times until they grab the hook. Larger fish, seeing this, often strive to get ahead of the small fry and eat the “yummy.” which little things are too tough. And when a small thing attacks a “devil”, it gets pricked at the very first bite, and the “devil” in such conditions often gets caught or hooked “on the lips”. At the same time, the pricked fry blur in fear and can alert large fish. When fishing in mixed schools, where after a few ruffs a bream can be caught, the “goat” also turned out to be more effective than the “devil”. The described baits are very light (0.25-0.5 g) and are intended for fishing at depths of 1-3 m in still water. A tandem of two “goats” with a total bait weight of about 0.5-0.7 g on a fishing line with a diameter of 0.1 mm can be fished at depths of up to 5-6 m without current. Thanks to a pair of hooks, even a tiny “goat” with small hooks hooks both large and small fish well. Making a goat How to make a spoon

Making a goat

How to make a spinner

An element necessary in every fishing trip. We are talking about a special device, a metal plate that has a given shape. The basis of such a product is a piece of ductile metal. They can be aluminum, copper, brass.

Buy a spinner or make it yourself

This is the business of every fisherman. One might say that this is a matter of taste and individual capabilities. The modern assortment of fishing equipment in special supermarkets and shops allows you to choose the right thing and please even the most spoiled client.

According to experienced fishermen, for successful fishing you simply need to make something with your own hands. This will make the process of fishing many times more enjoyable and entertaining. And building a spoon will not be difficult even for a fishing novice. In addition, there is even some belief in the world of fishermen. According to him, any hand-made little thing will definitely bring incredible luck and a big catch.

There is also an economic side to the issue. Despite the huge selection of fishing equipment, the price of such pleasure in stores can be quite steep. The product belongs to such expensive goods. Fishermen have felt this rise in prices especially acutely recently. Of course, there are also cheap fakes, but few people use them.

Therefore, in order not to spend extra money on fishing, it is better to learn how to make such bait with your own hands.

Making an oscillating spoon

Many fishermen call this device “Karasik”. It is extremely popular and in demand among both beginners and experienced fishermen. It can be freely purchased at any fishing department. But doing it yourself is also not difficult.

Materials and tools

• 1. A small piece of copper.
• 2. The hook itself.
• 3. Metal plate.
• 4. Ring for fastening.
• 5. Drill.

All components can be bought on the market or at any hardware store for little money.

Manufacturing

• 1. First of all, a model of the product is drawn on the material. In shape it resembles a diamond with specified parameters.
• 2. Using very sharp scissors, a model of the future bait is created.
• 3. Calculate the minor axis, bend the resulting part along this part.
• 4. The workpiece is placed horizontally, a plate in the form of a triangle is soldered (you need to try to keep the dimensions of such a triangle small).
• 5. A hook is soldered to the plate itself.
• 6. A ring is attached to the upper half. A hole is pre-drilled in the plate.
• 7. To make the product more attractive, you can polish it with sandpaper, but in general the product is ready as is.

How to make a spinner for fishing in muddy water

The peculiarity of this product lies in its bright and catchy appearance. The main task is to attract fish for quick fishing. The fact is that in clear water, seeing the bait even at a great distance is not a problem for fish. The presence of turbid water significantly complicates visualization. Therefore, it is important to make it from catchy material.

Materials and tools

• · the material is predominantly a pipe cut in half;
• · sharp knife, scissors;
• · sandpaper;
• · drill;
• · complete soldering kit (soldering iron, acidic substance).

Manufacturing

• 1. You need to make the shape of the structure from the pipe. The workpiece is cut out according to the layout, bent or unbent - in general, it is brought to perfection.
• 2. It is important to cut the workpiece exactly according to the originally specified parameters.
• 3. Fishermen recommend making the product in the shape of a fish.
• 4. A hook is attached to the wide end. To do this, soldering is used if necessary.
• 5. A winding ring is attached to the narrow end.
• 6. If necessary, grind.

Used for catching perch in muddy water.

Homemade rotating spoon

Professional fishermen are increasingly using fishing with weight heads. A pinwheel is usually used for this. It is much cheaper to do it yourself.

It is considered more attractive to fish; this is the bait that is best used for a larger catch.

You will need:

• · material is the basis of the future spinner. It is best to use a nerve wire for these purposes;
• · drill;
• · soldering iron;
• · decorative elements.

Manufacturing method

• 1. The main rule in the manufacture of this design is the selection of the right material for the future base. Such a cylindrical part should be immersed in water when it gets into it. Otherwise, the spinner will not work. To check, you need to throw the part into a bowl of water.
• 2. Make a hole for thick fishing line.
• 3. At the other end, attach the hook so that its point is directed towards the sinker.
• 4. If necessary, you can additionally attach a number of decorative items. You can use waterproof glue for this. Many people simply tie the part with colored threads.
• 5. For attractiveness, the body of the product can be polished with GOI paste.

Due to the peculiarities of its structure, this bait rotates in the water, creating a certain turbidity in the water. This serves as a signal for fish and attracts them to the bait. It is important to note that homemade products are in no way inferior in their characteristics to branded products.

How to make an unhooked spinner with your own hands

The current ponds and reservoirs are covered with significant thickets. Therefore, often on the first cast you can simply lose the bait due to hooks. But fish love such places most of all, so where there are thickets, there are also large fish. In such cases, a non-snagging one is best. It is sold in all fish stores, but you can also make it yourself quite quickly.

For production you need:

• 1. Steel wire (0.5 mm thick is enough).
• 2. Mustaches.
• 3. Analog of a spinner.
• 4. Soldering kit.

Stages of work

• 1. The hook is fixed to the plate.
• 2. The antennae are attached to the inside so that they overlap the very tip of the hook.
• 3. The plate is soldered to the wire.

Such a model can easily compete with its factory counterparts, because in many respects it surpasses them.

How to make a lure for pike perch with your own hands

We are talking about a predatory species of fish. It is usually located near the bottom of the reservoir. To catch such fish you need a special bait. In order not to spend money on purchasing a special spoon, you can try to create a similar device from scrap materials.

To make bait you will need:

• · a paper clip or a piece of thin wire;
• · size 3 hook;
• · metal plate;
• · beads;
• · soldering kit.

Execution technique

• 1. A model drawing is applied to the metal, cut out and processed with sandpaper.
• 2. Make holes for fastening, thread a wire through them, to which the hook is attached.
• 3. A small bead is attached to the axle.
• 4. Additionally, the product is painted so that it can interest the fish.

The main feature of this bait is the ability to rotate it. To test the game, just blow on it. The correct model will begin to rotate.

Homemade spinner for pike from an aluminum spoon

Many experienced fishermen use a spoon from a regular spoon. For the base of such bait you need an aluminum tablespoon.

Necessary materials:

• · spoon;
• · file;
• · hammer and nails;
• · hook;
• · winding rings.

• 1. Cut the spoon off the spoon and process the cut edge with a file.
• 2. Holes are made on both sides of the base.
• 3. Winding rings are installed in the resulting holes.

The construction of such a bait will take no more than 15 minutes. Experienced fishermen catch pike with such a spoon.

How to make spinnerbaits and buzzbaits with your own hands

Apart from experienced fishermen, few people have heard of such devices. We are talking about a variety of spinners that are used to catch water inhabitants. Predatory fish especially often react to such bait.

To create a spinnerbait you will need:

• · pin;
• · rings;
• · swivel;
• · beads;
• · wire;
• · petals;
• · silicone “skirt”

Assembly method

• 1. Unbend the pin and use pliers to get rid of its head.
• 2. Bend one end into a ring.
• 3. Place a bead or petal on the point of a pin.
• 4. A “skirt” is attached to the end with the clasp.

Buzzbaits are a lot like spinnerbaits. The only difference is in the principle of operation. Buzzbait attracts with vibration and sounds. All this is created by the surface part of the bait. In appearance, baitless baits differ only in the shape of the petals: they are necessarily symmetrical and more reminiscent of a propeller.

Making a spinner-turbine with your own hands

Another variety of standard bait that can easily be made at home.

You will need:

• stainless steel wire;
• tee hook;
• plate;
• bead;
• a piece of lead.

Manufacturing technique

• 1. The contour of the future base is cut out of the plate, the edges are processed with a file.
• 2. Drill holes along the edges of the workpiece, bend the areas with holes 90 degrees.
• 3. Secure the tee.
• 4. The craft can be decorated in any shade.

What is the best way to color the spoon, give it a bend and choose the size?

It is important to ensure that the bait you make becomes interesting to the fish. To attract their attention, they often practice coloring spinners. Some people use electrical tape to create beautiful stripes. You can imitate the color of a perch. Airbrush and enamel are often used for painting.

The “breed” of the catch largely depends on the size of the structure. So, if we are talking about a small device, perch will catch it well. Chub and pike perch can also mistake it for a sparkling fry. To catch pike you will need to get a larger turbine.

To give a more accurate trajectory of movement, the spoon can be bent more or less. To do this, just hold it in a vice and bend it with a hammer. The metal base is quite plastic, so it lends itself to such manipulations.

Homemade spoons for ice fishing

For winter fishing, special baits with a different design are selected. They must imitate the creature well as they move. Today there are 2 main types of winter spinners:

• · vertical (resembles a leaf);
• · rocker.

Everyone has the right to choose for themselves: buy him bait or make it. The cost of home appliances is an order of magnitude lower than purchased ones. It’s not a pity to lose your homemade lure. In addition, you can easily make new ones instead.

Winter zander lures

The winter spinner Maropedka is a vertical type bait for catching perch and other predatory fish from the ice in a vertical position. Since 2014, after information about the catchability of the spinner was leaked, the popularity of the spoon has only grown every year.

The Maroped has everything it needs to gain popularity among fishermen who are interested in winter fishing:

• a strange but memorable name - “maropedka”;
• simple design that allows you to make a spinner at home;
• catchability for perch, both pike and pike perch are caught;

Maropedka - a simple but catchy spoon

As we have already said, the Maroped is an incredibly simple, but very catchy spinner that collects fish like a “vacuum cleaner.”

The author of the spinner and the very name “maropedka” is a fisherman-sportsman, the Champion of Russia in winter spinners - Alexander Vorobyov, aka “Technologist” on the Internet. Taking as a basis the spinner of Vladimir Matveychikov, the elements of the spinner “rhombus” and “torpedo”, and combining the names of these spinners, we got “MaRoPedka”.

Winter maropeds are made in sizes from 30 mm in length, with wings turned at angles from 90 to 120 degrees. For catching perch at shallow depths, the most catchy ones are 35 - 40 mm long with wings bent at an angle of 90 degrees. For fishing at greater depths, more weight of the spoon is required, and for this, the length of the spinner and some proportions must be changed.

Maropedic is easy to make with your own hands. Thanks to its simple shape, this lure is quite easy to manufacture; no special metalworking skills are required. Below we will show a drawing of a maroped, sketches of this spinner and what the result is. In addition, all the dimensions and manufacturing process of the spinner can be seen in the video.

To make a spinner we will need some tools and materials.

Tools:

1. Soldering iron;
2. Bench vice;
3. Metal scissors;
4. Pliers;
5. Metal file, needle files;
6. Sandpaper;
7. Ruler and caliper.

Manufacturing materials:

• Sheet metal with a thickness of 0.1 – 0.5 mm (copper, bronze, brass, stainless steel);
• Lead-tin solder grade POS-60 or other;
• Phosphoric acid or other flux for etching during soldering;
• A pair of hooks for the eyes of the spinner. Instead of hooks, you can use nichrome wire or stainless steel. Wire ears are formed using pliers.

The process of making a maropedka

The progress of the work may be different at some points; different people make the maropedka in different ways. Here is one of the manufacturing schemes:

1. Crown preparation. From sheet metal we cut out a rectangular blank of the required length and width, which will be the crown of the spinner.
2. Marking. We apply markings on the metal plate - the center for bending and the widest part of the spoon, and draw cut lines. You can immediately cut off the tail part of the workpiece, the plate will become trapezoidal in shape.
   
   
3. The bend of the spinner. We clamp the plate in a vice exactly in the center. Lightly hit the base with a hammer and bend the plate until it stops in a vice - 90 degrees. Turning the plate over to the other side, we repeat the operation. If the metal is thick, to avoid unnecessary deformation of the plate from hammer blows, you can use something wooden as an intermediary. A thin plate can be bent using the force of your fingers and finished with hammer blows. The thinner the metal, the more distinct the edge of the crown will be.
   
   
4. Trimming and straightening. Using metal scissors or strong regular scissors, cut the plate according to the markings, leaving a margin for rounding in the head part. We remove the unevenness with a file and bring it almost to an exact match to the template. The final part of the adjustment will be after soldering.
   
   
5. Tinning the crown. We heat the crown with a soldering iron and apply a thin layer of solder on the inside using acid or other flux.
   
   
6. Soldering maropedka. We solder the ears and fill the crown with tin. Before soldering, the crown must be conveniently positioned. This can be done in a wooden block with a cut for the sharp edge of the spoon. We press the workpiece against the block with something heavy and begin soldering the ears from the tail and head of the spinner. After fixing the ears, completely fill the crown of the spinner with solder.
   
   
7. Final processing. Using a file or needle file, remove excess solder, align all edges of the spinner, and sand with sandpaper.
   
   
8. Installation of a tee. Through the winding ring we install a tee with a droplet or decorated with pieces of colored cambric.

It is better to watch the process of making spinners of the “maroped” type in the video. The first video from this list shows how the author of the spinner, “Technologist,” makes this spinner.

• For precision in manufacturing, especially if you need to make many identical lures, you can use a paper template. It is glued onto the plate and, guided by it, they are trimmed and finished with a file. It is more convenient to use paper with adhesive backing.
• If the metal plate from which the maroped is made is thin and the metal is plastic, you can bend it in half and then cut it along the contour. File the edges. Bend the plate to 90 degrees using a vice. This results in complete symmetry.
• The short and long parts of the spoon from the widest part can be calculated as the golden ratio of the total length. The approximate ratio is 0.62 on the larger side and 0.38 on the smaller side - from the head of the spoon. Accurate calculation of the golden ratio - calculator.
• The narrower the wings of a spinner spoon, the lighter it is, the smoother and more stable the game, and the more diving to the side.
• The smaller the spinner, the heavier the solder should be; large spinners use pure tin.
• Copper and brass quickly oxidize, and the spoon loses its metallic luster; to prevent this from happening, it can be coated with a thin film of waterproof, colorless varnish.

Spinner setup and refinement

After the spinner is made, you need to check its operation in the water and, if necessary, adjust its play. The game of the spinner can be fast or smooth, it depends on the weight of the spoon. The maropedic woman can glide, but must not fall flat. If the spinner does not work properly, it needs to be modified.

The instability of the maropadic game may be due to its sphericity on the solder side (D). In this form, the spinner works normally only with a certain wiring - at the lowest point it will move a short distance from the center (2). If you remove excess tin (D) and make this edge flatter, the play of the spinner will become more stable.

Achieving complete repeatability of the desired game from a homemade spinner is easier than from some other spinners, but this is achieved with experience. Simplification of the already simple shape of the bait allows you to achieve the desired result in almost every lure.

If you need more variety in the game with different drives, you will need to experiment with shifting the center of gravity in the longitudinal and cross sections. Read more about such settings here.

Maropedka 40 mm or more

Initially, the maroped spinner was designed for catching medium-sized perch in winter spinner competitions and had dimensions ranging from 30 to 40 mm. Then, attempts were made to adapt the spoon to catch larger perch at greater depths.

Experiments with larger lures have shown that the spoon becomes too heavy. As the length of the spoon increases, the spinner gains weight disproportionately faster, and the nature of its play and catchability changes. Therefore, with an increase in the size of the spinner, when making a spinner, lighter solders are used that do not extend beyond the cut of the crown, and the longitudinal center of gravity shifts closer to the middle.

In general, changing any parameter of a spoon always entails a change in its behavior in the water. The game changes, and the fish’s reaction to the bait—the catchability of the spoon—changes. The ability to give a spinner the desired action is the pinnacle of mastery in spinner making.

Drawings and sketches of the Maropedka spinner

Finding a ready-made detailed drawing of a maropede is not so easy. They simply don't exist. Those who are engaged in the construction of spinners make drawings and sketches of spinners only for themselves, realizing that ideal proportions do not exist. But the approximate parameters of the Maroped are known, and they are shown in the video above.

Spinner templates 35 and 40 mm

You can download templates of spinners for printing on A4 sheet and use them when making spinners by gluing them onto a plate. Templates are taken here.

Catching perch with Maropedka

Perch on maropedka

Maropaedka catches any predatory fish, but best of all is perch. For its ability to collect fish in the hole, anglers call this spoon a “vacuum cleaner.” Fishing begins with a simple retrieve - toss - pause. Watch how fishermen do it on the pond.

• The short and long parts of the spoon from the widest part can be calculated as the golden ratio of the total length. The approximate ratio is 0.62 on the larger side and 0.38 on the smaller side - from the head of the spoon. Accurate calculation of the golden ratio - calculator.
• The narrower the wings of a spinner spoon, the lighter it is, the smoother and more stable the game, and the more diving to the side.
• The smaller the spinner, the heavier the solder should be; large spinners use pure tin.
• Copper and brass quickly oxidize, and the spoon loses its metallic luster; to prevent this from happening, it can be coated with a thin film of waterproof, colorless varnish.

Spinner setup and refinement

After the spinner is made, you need to check its operation in the water and, if necessary, adjust its play. The game of the spinner can be fast or smooth, it depends on the weight of the spoon. The maropedic woman can glide, but must not fall flat. If the spinner does not work properly, it needs to be modified.

The instability of the maropadic game may be due to its sphericity on the solder side (D). In this form, the spinner works normally only with a certain wiring - at the lowest point it will move a short distance from the center (2). If you remove excess tin (D) and make this edge flatter, the play of the spinner will become more stable.

Achieving complete repeatability of the desired game from a homemade spinner is easier than from some other spinners, but this is achieved with experience. Simplification of the already simple shape of the bait allows you to achieve the desired result in almost every lure.

Maropedka 40 mm or more

Initially, the maroped spinner was designed for catching medium-sized perch in winter spinner competitions and had dimensions ranging from 30 to 40 mm. Then, attempts were made to adapt the spoon to catch larger perch at greater depths.

Experiments with larger lures have shown that the spoon becomes too heavy. As the length of the spoon increases, the spinner gains weight disproportionately faster, and the nature of its play and catchability changes. Therefore, with an increase in the size of the spinner, when making a spinner, lighter solders are used that do not extend beyond the cut of the crown, and the longitudinal center of gravity shifts closer to the middle.

Catching perch in winter is characterized by the active and greedy bite of this predator. From one hole, anglers often get several dozen “minke whales”. Intensive fishing begins about a week after freeze-up. It usually lasts until the beginning of January. Another good period for successful fishing for this prey is the time during the pre-spawning feast at the very end of winter, when the fish need to gain strength after severe cold weather.

general information

Perch is called one of the most common fish in our country. In terms of size, it cannot be classified as large. In most Russian reservoirs, the usual length of perch is fifteen to twenty centimeters and weighs from eighty to one hundred and fifty grams. The best winter fishing for perch - with spoons, jigs, etc. - takes place in windless, calm weather with a slight but persistent frost. The most active bite begins in the late afternoon.

Features of winter fishing

During the first ice, these “minke whales” practically do not leave their camps and move away from the shore only as the ice cover grows. And although perch bite very greedily during this period, nevertheless, you need to look for them, because, having stumbled upon small fish, you can catch them from this hole throughout the day, but without a chance to catch a prey of substantial size.

In mid-January, you often have to look for “minke whales” throughout the entire area of ​​the reservoir. Flocks stop moving over long distances, but are split into small groups, the number of which does not exceed seven individuals. For successful searches, the fisherman needs to be able to navigate a given body of water well in order to accurately find previously caught places.

It is believed that in closed reservoirs the bite is capricious and unpredictable. At the end of January and February, anglers need to know perch sites with an accuracy of one and a half meters, since searching for them, constantly drilling through fairly thick ice, is difficult and often impossible. The choice of gear and, of course, nozzles is of no small importance. Winter fishing for perch using spoons and jigs is especially common.

Lure

It is best done with the help of small live or feed bloodworms, which can be purchased at the store. You should not ignore live bait grown in an aquarium. Bait does not increase the intensity of the bite, but it helps to keep a flock of “minke whales” near the hole. You can do it in advance, about a day or two before departure with gear to the reservoir. As a rule, in this case, success is guaranteed. A live bloodworm, especially if it has managed to burrow into the bottom soil, will attract prey to such a place for a long time.

Winter lure fishing

You can catch perch if you know some tricks. Firstly, a hole must be punched in a place where, as the fisherman is sure, there is a parking lot of large individuals. Successful selection of gear is also important. A winter lure for perch should attract the attention of the entire flock with its brilliance and movements. In addition, the fisherman must be able to use its various “games” to evoke the grip of a predator and be able to safely lift the prey onto the ice.

What is the best way to fish?

Which bait is the most catchy - a winter spinner for perch or a jig? No one will give a definite answer to this question. Both of these baits are different from each other, so the choice is up to the fisherman.

A winter lure for perch differs from a jig in that the latter does not require precise play. Fish will still be caught with it, even with poor wiring. Another thing is winter lures for perch. Here the situation is completely different. If the angler makes a careless or incorrect swing of his fishing rod, then the prey moves to the side, and in this case, even the most rated and catchable winter lure for perch will no longer bring any results. No more prey will be caught.

This is why winter lures for perch, according to experienced hunters, require only verified wiring and do not allow mistakes.

pros

Each of the baits used in a certain period has advantages and disadvantages. However, the rating of winter spinners for perch is the highest. They have one undeniable advantage, which is noticeable specifically when catching “minke whales”. If a school is found and the bite is on, speed becomes the most important factor. And here the winter lure for perch is beyond competition. A correctly chosen line thickness makes it possible to boldly and quickly pull the prey, and the significant weight of the bait lowers it to the working horizon in a timely manner.

Lure fishing spots

From late autumn, perches go to deep places for the winter. Where their usual camps are. During the winter they rarely change their holes, but closer to spring they come to the shore, closer to the mouths of rivers that carry fresh water into reservoirs.

Camps can also be found under steep banks. In deep lakes, large individuals usually spend the winter in the same snags or underwater rock ridges, wherever fishermen fished for them in the summer. Smaller specimens sometimes remain near coastal grasses in the fall, where they are caught at a depth of no more than two meters.

Tackle

For vertical trolling of this fish, a variety of fishing rods are used, and they must be equipped with removable or built-in reels. It is undesirable to choose blind equipment, which requires extra time.

The most common fishing rods are those with removable reels and a handle. Many experienced fishermen, after purchasing gear in a store, immediately replace the whips with longer ones. This is explained by the fact that with the short version, they have to use their whole hand, and sometimes even their shoulder, to support the spoon, which is why they quickly get tired. Long whips make it possible to provide the necessary amplitude of play of the bait, while using only the brush.

The fishing line for winter trolling of perches should have a diameter of 0.15 to 0.20 millimeters, withstand a force of up to two kilograms, have a smooth surface and, if desired, be colored. To catch large bottom-dwelling specimens of this underwater predator, it is preferable to use brown varieties, while green varieties are more suitable for small grass species.

The spoon is tied to the fishing line in two ways: tightly, when there is no need to change the bait or there is an additional one, and also using a loop, when frequent changes are required. In this case, the knots need to be tightened tightly and checked for strength to tearing.

Flashing

When fishing for perch in winter using this bait, reels are not used for fishing, but serve only for storing fishing line, helping in cases where it is necessary to quickly change the descent. In this case, the reserve may not reach a ten-meter size. After the end of the winter fishing season, the fishing line must be replaced. But after each fishing, it should be dried, checking the knots along the way, especially in the places where the spinner is attached.

Another, no less important piece of gear for winter perch fishing is the nod, which signals a bite and often effectively helps give the lures a certain game. The best options are those made from thin polymer plates with a length of seventy to one hundred and twenty millimeters, having a conical slope to the tip.

Catchy winter lure

For perch, as for other fish, this bait is selected taking into account not only the weather and fishing location, but also the size of the expected prey. At first, it is better for beginners to stick to the variety that is most popular among local fishermen. Subsequently, having already had practice and rich hunting experience combined with observations of the behavior of “minke whales,” you can independently decide which winter lures for perch are the best.

Rating

There are quite a lot of winter lures for perch. Stores offer a huge selection of baits, both domestic and foreign. It is very difficult not to get confused in such a variety and choose the highest quality and most catchy model.

Therefore, it’s a good idea to study the ratings of winter lures for perch in advance in order to be able to make a competent decision. Most foreign manufacturers offer baits equipped with hanging hooks. For some reason our compatriots don’t really like them. Many people treat such spinners with distrust. The main reason is misunderstanding and non-acceptance of the operating principle of such a bait.

Leader

Finnish winter lures are in first place in terms of production. They are best suited for perch or other predators. With their shape, such baits resemble a small fish. During wiring, they make short strokes, descending as if in a spiral, and somewhat reminiscent of a loop.

The movements that characterize Finnish winter lures, including for perch, can be prowling and chaotic. Therefore, predators associate them with wounded or frightened fry. The winter lures for perch produced by the Finns, the photo of which shows that they really look like small live bait, are intended for different weight categories of prey.

"Hot" five domestic baits

In the first place among anglers are narrow winter lures for perch, photos of which show that they are very reminiscent of matches. That's what they're called. Their name is due to the red dot where the hook exits the body of the bait, which is placed by manufacturers, thereby making it somewhat similar to its analogue.

The second in the ranking is considered to be a rather expensive silver spinner. It costs about a thousand rubles, which is due to the material from which it is made. The quality of this spinner allows you to perfectly “get” perch when the bite stops.

“Spoon of Champions” - this is the name under which the bait that fishermen used to know as “Bor+” is produced today. But after a victory was won at the championship in 2007, it was renamed. Unlike the first two, this lure is equipped not with a soldered hook, but with a three-hook hanging hook. Professionals believe that a tee is better at stimulating passive prey. The size of this spoon is quite large, so it periodically catches very decent, more than half a kilogram perch, and sometimes even a small pike.

In fourth place in the peculiar ranking of these domestic vertical lures is the Shadrinsk variety. This is a light gliding spoon that works very well in shallow water. Today in Russia there are many such craftsmen who effectively fish with it at depths of less than fifty centimeters.

The last one in the top five “hottest” spinners is “Sleeper”. It was invented by Nizhny Novgorod professional athlete V. Fedotov. It works quite stably, but there are times when this spinner literally “shoots”. That is why many avid fishermen - lovers of winter perch - have it in their arsenal, moreover, it is with it that they begin to fish.

With your own hands

Once upon a time, Russian fishermen used only homemade winter lures. Their own versions were made for perch or any other predator for which this bait was best suited. This was explained by the fact that in Soviet times it was rare to find foreign goods in stores, especially in fishing departments. As for domestic ones, they did not differ in quality. So hunters in those years had to rely only on homemade winter lures.

Lures of different weights were made for perch, pike perch, pike, etc. As then, today, too, some experienced fishermen prefer hand-made spinners to purchased ones. Owners set them up in advance, at home.

After all, even though the baits or designs of winter spinners - for perch, pike, pike perch, etc. - are the same, in each specific case they have a different game. Therefore, armed with pliers and a file, anglers bring them to the desired adjustment.

Thus, many not only save their money, but also avoid all kinds of “branded” counterfeits that fail at the most crucial moment.

Oscillators

These winter lures for perch are the best, according to experienced hunters. And although they are quite difficult to make on your own, nevertheless, many people manage to make these most promising baits. The materials needed for the work are few: sheet brass, copper, multi-colored paint, factory rings and tees. Having this entire arsenal at hand in combination with the necessary tools, it is quite possible to prepare such winter lures for perch.

The main thing is to know the operating procedure, familiarize yourself with the technology and strictly follow the sequence of actions.

And finally

Fishing for perch in winter is one of the most exciting activities. But for it to bring good results, you need high-quality gear, namely spinners. You can, of course, look at the rating and buy the most expensive model in the store, or you can make it yourself. But the root cause of the fisherman’s failures was and is the inability to play the spoon correctly. The main thing is to learn how to use this bait correctly, and then everything will definitely work out.

The predator does not bother fishermen at all, who have been accustomed for years to making them with their own hands. It is almost impossible to convince them that purchased spoons are much better than homemade ones. But they are right in some ways. Firstly, a good bait, especially if it is branded, is not cheap, secondly, it is not always possible to buy a suitable spinner, and thirdly, making spinners is not such a difficult task.

Let's try to understand these master anglers and make some winter spinners for perch fishing ourselves. Let's start with the simplest homemade products that do not require soldering or metalworking. Photos of homemade spinners, easy to manufacture and popular, are presented below.

Spoon jig

A jig is a heavy, uniform, narrow spoon made of stainless steel, copper, brass, cupronickel and other metals that are slightly susceptible to corrosion. It is used for winter vertical trolling for large perch and pike perch.

In order to make a simple jig, we need:

• an ordinary dessert spoon made of stainless steel or cupronickel;
• hacksaw for metal;
• file;
• drill;
• sandpaper;
• a pair of winding rings;
• treble hook.

First you need to decide on the size of the future spinner. If you plan to go fishing for a large perch, the length of the jig should be 4-7 cm. After cutting the workpiece to the required size with a hacksaw, trim it with a file and sand it with fine sandpaper. Next, you need to drill holes along the edges of the workpiece.

On the one hand, where the width of the workpiece is greater, we attach a tee of the required size through the winding ring. That's it, the jig is ready. Such homemade winter ones work well at medium depths (3-5 m) in reservoirs with moderate currents.

Spinner from tweezers

A similar bait can be made from ordinary tweezers, which are usually used by electronics engineers and radio amateurs in their work. Using a hacksaw, you need to cut a piece 3-5 cm long from one part of the tweezers so that it consists of 2/3 of the smooth part and 1/3 of the grooved part. Next, we straighten it with a file, grind it and drill holes along the hook and leash. You can also paint the bait in the desired color using ordinary nail polish. Small homemade winter lures made from tweezers are excellent for catching “sailor fish” at shallow depths.

The simplest lightweight spinner made from a tin can

This bait is often used by perch fishing enthusiasts in the wilderness. Using her example, you can see for yourself that homemade catchable spoons can be made even from what is lying under your feet. For this we need:

• tin can (for beer, coffee, canned food, etc.);
• metal scissors;
• a pair of winding rings;
• double or tee size No. 7-8;
• awl;
• sandpaper.

On plain paper we make a drawing of an oval 40 mm long and 20 mm wide. We cut the tin can and straighten it. Having attached the finished pattern to the metal, we transfer its contours using an awl. Cut out the workpiece. Using an awl, we make holes along the edges of the spoon for the winding rings and carefully polish everything, getting rid of paint, irregularities and burrs.

Such homemade winter lures for perch, given the thickness of the metal from which they are made, should be stored separately from other baits, otherwise they will simply lose their shape and become unusable.

Spinner from a tube

A catchable bait for ice fishing for striped predators can be made from a regular copper or stainless steel tube with a diameter of 5-10 mm. It is enough to measure a piece of 30-50 mm, cut it diagonally on both sides, carefully sand it and polish it until it shines. Next you need to drill holes for the winding rings, wind them and secure the hook.

Such homemade winter lures for perch are often used when fishing in shallow areas with moderate currents.

Editing spinners

Naturally, the described perch lures, made with your own hands, cannot be compared in quality of play with branded ones. An approximate drawing, uneven cut and inaccurate weight will in any case negatively affect the behavior of the spoon in the water. But still, before going fishing, the bait should be tested and, if necessary, adjusted.

You can do this right in a bathtub filled with water, and even without a fishing rod. The spoon needs to be tied to a fishing line and lowered to the bottom. Next, you should make a sharp swing, so that the bait rises 30 centimeters, and observe how it behaves as it descends. If the spoon falls to the bottom strictly vertically, without making any movements around its axis, it means that it is not configured correctly. Such baits are adjusted by bending both in the horizontal and vertical planes, as well as by changing the weight of the load.

Spinner "dovetail"

Now let's move on to more complex designs that involve working with metal and soldering. Any homemade lures for fishing for predators that have a pronounced game are made according to clearly defined drawings. "Dovetail" is no exception.

The following materials and tools will be useful to us:

• sheet copper 90x30x0.5 mm;
• metal scissors;
• soldering iron;
• solder;
• awl;
• soldering acid;
• copper wire with a cross section of 0.6 mm;
• single hook No. 4-6;
• file;
• sandpaper.

Before you make a spinner, you need to decide on its size. For humpback salmon, its length is usually 90 mm and its width is 15 mm.

On a sheet of copper we mark a V-shaped blank 90 mm long and 30 mm wide with a tail cutout of 25 mm. We cut it along the contour with scissors. Having previously treated one of the surfaces with a soldering iron, apply a thin layer of solder to it.

Using an awl, draw a longitudinal center line and bend the workpiece in half. Next, we bring the tail plates together so that we get something like a boat. After this, we solder them to each other from the inside.

We make a loop out of it, which will be used for attaching to a fishing line or leash. Its maximum diameter should not exceed 3-4 mm. We solder it to the head (narrow) part of the workpiece. After this, we treat the hook with acid and fix it in the same way in the tail part of the spoon. When all this is done, fill the entire inner surface of the workpiece with solder.

Now it's the turn of the file and sandpaper. All sagging, notches and burrs must be leveled, and the spoon itself must be ground and polished to a shine.

Typically, such homemade winter lures for perch are used for fishing in the water column. For greater depths, the soldered-in single hook should be replaced with a movable tee of the same size.

Torpedo spinner

Another simple lesson on how to make a lure for perch at home from the same materials. On paper we make a pattern in the form of an elongated drop 30-50 mm long. The width of the workpiece in the upper part should be 10 mm, in the lower part - 3-5 mm.

We transfer the design from paper to sheet metal and make 2 identical blanks. Next, using a rounded striker and thick rubber, we make them convex over the entire area. The inner surface of both halves is treated with acid and covered with a thin layer of solder. We make 2 loops from the wire and solder them to the ends of one of the blanks. Next, we fold both halves with their convex sides outward and connect them together, passing the soldering iron along the edges. As a result, we should get something like a long drop. After this, the spoon is cleaned and polished to a shine.

Homemade "castmaster"

Even the most uninitiated angler probably knows about the catchability of the “castmester” - the legendary spinner for vertical fishing from the Acme company. But few people realize that it is easy to make such a bait yourself from a fragment of an ordinary copper tube with a diameter of 6-8 mm. The larger the cross-section, the longer and heavier the spinner will be. In addition to the tube you will need:

• school protractor;
• hacksaw for metal;
• soldering iron;
• soldering acid;
• solder;
• file;
• sandpaper;
• drill with a thin drill bit;
• winding rings;
• double or triple hook No. 7-8.

By applying the protractor to a certain point on the tube, we mark and draw the first line extending to the right at an angle of 17 degrees. Next, moving the protractor to the left by 2-3 mm, we draw a second line at an angle of 23 degrees.

Carefully cut the tube according to the intended drawing. As a result, we should get a kind of elongated oblique washer. We treat the workpiece with soldering acid from the inside, fill the inside of the washer with solder. After this, we clean and polish the spoon. Holes for winding rings are drilled at a distance of 2-3 mm from the edge of the bait.

Anglers use homemade winter spinners of the castmaster type, weighing 1.5-5 g, for sailor fishing at shallow depths. Similar baits can also be used for larger fish: humpback salmon, pike perch, pike. The process of their manufacture is similar to that described, only the diameter of the tube for a large predator, accordingly, should be larger (from 10 to 25 mm).

The fish is not very large; the largest specimen caught by fishermen weighed almost 6 kilograms, with a length of over 50 centimeters. Usually you can catch small minke whales, from 150 to 300 grams, the size of a palm, hunting not far from the shore. Humpback whales under 1 kilogram and more are rare in catches.

Although the common river perch is very similar in appearance to the American yellow perch, at the genetic level they are not related.

Winter spinners for perch differ from spinners for winter fishing for other types of fish only in size. Most often these are not large 3-7 centimeter, narrow-bodied baits, made of copper, brass, stainless steel plates with or without galvanic coating.

To increase the weight and solder the hook, lead is soldered onto one of the surfaces of the spoon. There can be from one to three hooks.
On some models, instead of a soldered hook, a tee or chain with a hook is hooked through the winding ring.

Vibration in the water column is created by shape and bending.
Sometimes, for winter fishing, summer oscillating spoons of small sizes with a driven body are replaced.

Winter fishing rods for trolling.

A winter fishing rod for fishing is a handle made of lightweight heat-insulating material (foam, wood, neoprene, etc.) and a thin whip inserted into it made of any durable lightweight material. At the request of the fisherman, the trolling rod is equipped with a reel or reel for winding fishing line. To better control bites, many fishermen attach a nod to the tip of the whip.

“It is important that after tension you must stop immediately. Each lure has its own nod. The material for manufacturing can be a nipple, a metal plate or a polymer material. Anything that has plasticity.”

Important “When choosing the length of the fishing rod, you should take into account the time of year and the activity of the predator. Length should be 35-70 centimeters. For active play against an active predator, a long whip is preferable; in the dead of winter, for passive play, a short one.”

It’s not difficult to make tackle with your own hands at home, the main thing is to choose the right material and tool.
As a cord for fishing at depths of up to 5-6 meters, it is more convenient to use monofilament fishing line with a diameter of 0.14-0.22 millimeters according to the domestic classification. Over 5 meters 0.3-0.4 millimeters.

The line on the reel should be at least 1-2 meters deeper than the depth in the intended fishing location. If possible, you need to wind 15-30 meters.

It is not advisable to use a thin, light braided cord for a fishing rod; it floats too much in the wind, clings to the edges of the hole and leads to the failure of the correct play of the spoon.
When fishing with a tackle, with a small 3-5 centimeter bait, a metal leash is not advisable, coarse material has a bad effect on the vibrations made by the spoon when gliding in the water column and alarms the fish. To quickly change bait, attach a small carabiner to the end of the cord.

How to catch perch spoons.

The nature of the game of spinners can be divided into 4 types.

Carnation.

Carnation spinner. The most recognizable spinner, known since Soviet times, does not stand out much in its variety of shapes, as well as in its play. Works at depths of 1.5-2 meters. The game is played as follows.

We lower it to the bottom. We wind the fishing line about five centimeters. Next is a smooth rise of 15-30 centimeters and a reset. The spoon falls almost vertically, making slow vertical oscillations. Sometimes it deviates slightly by 20-30 degrees to the side. Oddly enough, this very bottom spoon may be the only one that perch bites in the dead of winter. Well suited for catching active perch. According to tactile sensations, this is one short blow when the fishing line is tensioned after the bait falls. There are several types (St. Andrew's nail, deadlock, prohibition nail, narrow).

Gliding (floating).

Oscillating spinners. The peculiarity of such spinners is that when they fall, they do not fall like a nail, but take a horizontal position and, oscillating, go far away from the hole. Having pulled the fishing line, they lower smoothly, waddling from side to side until they assume a vertical position.

A bait of this type is lighter in weight than a nail, the body shape is concave or convex, and slightly curved. Winter trolling of perch is most often done with such spoons. It allows you to catch perch at depths of up to 5-6 meters, below which it turns into an ordinary nail.

Method of play. Slow rise to a height of up to 60 centimeters and a sharp release (lowering the tip of the rod to its original position). When pulling the line, this game feels like a light pull, with virtually no impact.
If necessary, the technique for catching perch at depths of more than 6 meters changes from wide swings to short sharp throws and lowering of the fishing rod, the swing is equal to the length of the bait. Names of planners (small fry, Matveychikova, torpedo, slipper, etc.)

Bulk.

To lure perch, loose lures are used; they differ from others in that when they fall in the water column, they do not fall like a nail and do not glide, but turn over horizontally to the bottom, and slowly sinking, as if they flutter (crumble), creating small
oscillatory movements.

Such vibrations are created by shifting the center of gravity to the center of the bait and the absolute symmetry of the sides with an acute angle in the center of the entire length.
It is very good to catch loose fish in snags.

The playing technique involves a slow rise to any height and a sharp drop. Throwing bait is contraindicated and can scare away a predator or lead to snags in snags.
Loose (half diamond, coffin, Alaskan, vandal, joker, tube, bug).
The hanging time is long; a double blow to the hand helps determine the behavior of the spinner. The first, when the fishing line was stretched, the second, the bait took a vertical position.

Step.

Another bait that is used to lure perch in winter is a step. The bait is a narrow strip with an inwardly concave, slightly bent crescent shape.
Retrieving with a step can be classified as retrieving, which is done with a short swing and a sharp release of the spinner.
Steps (tube, vandal, etc.).

Catchable lures for perch

Made of two copper plates with a soldered single hook in the wide part and an eye in the narrow part, for attaching to a fishing line. The space between the plates is filled with tin.
Catching perch with the Andreevskaya spoon is carried out with smooth, wide rises and a sharp drop, and the bait goes vertically, slightly deviating to the side.

Torpedo spinner.

It has a torpedo-shaped body, is made of a slightly concave plate and tin soldered onto it. Works with both single soldered and triple soldered lugs.
A game. Smooth wide rise and sharp drop.

Coffin.

Loose spinner. It is made from two metal plates, both one material and different.
Plays well with smooth rise and sharp release.

A tube.

Cut from various metal tubes. Length from 30 mm to 130 mm. One angle is 30 degrees, attached to the fishing line, the other 45 is attached to the tee. The most versatile spinner that can animate various games depending on the wiring and load. Plays both at shallow depths and at depths of up to 17 meters. Recommended fishing line is 0.4 mm.

“With a spoon you can catch not only a predator, but also quite peaceful fish, rudd, roach, bream.”

Catching perch in winter with a spoon.

Perch fishing cannot be successful without the ability to find the hunting fish. It rarely happens that a perch using a spoon in winter is caught in the first hole drilled and the fisherman immediately finds a school. Therefore, winter fishing for perch with lures is popular. To find a parking place you have to drill many holes.
And yet there are classic superficial signs that will help with the search.

• Branches of coastal trees frozen into ice.
• The edge of the growing reeds.
• A tree that fell into the water.
• Driftwood.
• Places where small streams flow into the main channel of the river.
• Glades of frozen burdocks on the ice surface.
• Cloudy ice on a section with clear ice.

Beginners can try to find fish by the presence of a large number of old holes with signs of repeated and long visits to this place.
Marks left near catchable holes (a bunch of straw stuck into a hole, a stick frozen in ice, etc.).

• If these signs do not help, then you can try to look for a predator by measuring the depth; as a rule, perch does not really like places with a depth of more than 4 meters and stays on the dump. I dumped a place with a sharp change in depth, for example from 4 to 4.5-5 at a distance of 3-5 meters between two holes.
• In the clearings. An elevated plateau in a deep place.
• A border of underwater vegetation or a clear spot in a clearing with algae.
• Flooded driftwood.

Two guys are sitting fishing, but they don’t bite. They sit for a long time. Suddenly one of them gets a bite. He pulls out a kilo-sized perch, but it doesn’t fall into his hands. Jumping, spreading his thorns. Lucky asks his neighbor.

Vasya, what should I do with him?

“Some fishermen themselves arrange places for predator ambushes, freezing tree branches into ice, and in advance of freezing, lowering a sheet of iron, slate, etc. to the bottom of the reservoir in places with grass.”
