Do-it-yourself catchy spinning tackle “Shnyryalka”
There is a category of fisherman who, on principle, do not want to fish with “standard” purchased bait. They find such fishing a boring activity and they are looking for more and more new approaches. For example, one fisherman once came up with the idea to create a unique tackle from several nuts and pen paste. To my surprise, the tackle turned out to be not only original, but also quite catchy compared to such freshwater favorites as pike and perch.
As for the name, the tackle received it due to its properties; during wiring, it “sneaks” through the expanses of water, attracting the attention of a predator.
Materials and tools: — ballpoint pen paste (preferably empty); - petal (can be cut from a piece of aluminum); — two tees (with factory rings); - a piece of wire; - two nuts; - wire cutters and pliers.
Step one. Creating the “backbone”
First you need to take the paste from the ballpoint pen and free it from the paste. To do this, remove the tip from the paste and blow out the contents. If there is another suitable tube, that would be great too. Now you need to insert the wire into the paste and bend it as the author showed in the photo.
Step three. Installation of hooks and petal
Now you need to make ears at the ends of the wire to attach the hooks. It is best to use round nose pliers for these purposes. The hooks are attached using rings. As for the petal, it is installed on the rear hook also using a ring. That's all, the tackle is ready.
If you want to improve the bait, you can use a variety of materials for these purposes. For example, to make the bait more voluminous, you can attach tinsel to it.
As for wiring, the author recommends using the same approach as for jig fishing. That is, these are small impulse jerks that will force the tackle to dart around in the expanses of water.

Homemade tackle straight from the Soviet Union - 3 fishing homemade products from the USSR
These homemade products for fishing were invented in the distant USSR by our fathers and grandfathers.
At that time there was not an abundance of all kinds of fishing gear. Therefore, every fisherman was wise, inventing and making his own gear. Some of them became the very best and were used for their intended purpose more and more often.
And envious of the successful bite and catch, others adopted and prepared their own gear. This is how various popular fishing crafts came into being.
3 homemade products for fishing straight from the USSR
Today I want to introduce you to 5 of these necessary fishing devices.
Homemade interesting and simple self-cutter for donkey
In order not to miss a bite and remain with the catch when catching fish on the bottom, you should make such a self-hooking device. Moreover, it is made right on the shore in a matter of minutes.
Go! We take a piece of wire and make a ring at the top of the device, stepping back from the edge 5-6 cm, and then a diamond square at the bottom (see photo). At the very top is a hook that clings to the topmost ring on the fishing rod.
We thread an elastic band into the ring of the device and place it behind the ragulka on which the fishing rod is located. There is a bite, the hook is triggered and the fish is on the hook.
Makushatnik for catching carp and crucian carp
Again, nothing complicated - many already know about such fishing gear and successfully catch crucian carp and crucian carp with it. It is also popularly called “nipple”.
You need to melt a piece of lead from lead and drill a couple of holes in it. One more hole is needed in the top of the head. Through them we collect all the makushatnik gear.
Grandfather's homemade spinner from a spoon
Another homemade fishing product is a spoon made from an ordinary tablespoon. We saw off the handle, leaving only the “bread” or “scoop” - as you like.
We drill holes at both ends. We install one winding ring in each hole. And then we attach a tee or double hook to one, and a leash to the other.
This old-fashioned spinner still works. However, all the homemade products I presented are also used by many fishermen while fishing today.
So don’t throw them aside - maybe right now they will become the very first for you - use them to your health!
Making a bombard with your own hands
Fishing for many people is not just a hobby, but a desired and long-awaited pastime, a way to take a break from everyday work and hide from the bustle of the city. Naturally, without a spinning rod or fishing rod, as well as a whole range of auxiliary devices and elements, fishing will simply be impossible.
One such device can be called a bombard. This is the name given to a special type of float or sbirulino, which has a certain mass, making it possible to cast the tackle much further than when using a classic float. Usually it is installed on a spinning rod, which allows you to turn it into a unique type of gear with which fishing is possible anywhere. Let's try to figure out how to make such a fishing device at home with your own hands.
How to increase your fish catch?
Over 7 years of active fishing, I have found dozens of ways to improve the bite. Here are the most effective ones:
- Bite activator . This pheromone additive attracts fish most strongly in cold and warm water. Discussion of the bite activator “Hungry Fish”.
- Increased gear sensitivity. Read the appropriate manuals for your specific type of gear.
- Pheromone -based lures .
The equipment can be a pole, a donk or a fishing rod with a feeder. Tackle for fishing for silver carp must be very durable, so the fish can boast of impressive size.
Silver carp resists no worse in winter than in summer, so during fishing it needs to be given time to get tired: then it is easily brought to the hole to be pulled onto the ice using a hook.
Manufacturing
Let's consider various options for creating bombards for catching asp or any other fish.
The simplest floating, slowly sinking model is made from a large float. There is nothing difficult here at all. You simply need to increase its mass, which can be done using ordinary lead shot.
If you decide to make the item in question from foam plastic, then you will need to use a knife, as well as sandpaper to give it the desired look and shape. After this, paint that has water-repellent properties should be applied to the workpiece, and a hole should be made inside such a foam bombard. There you will need to insert a tube with good rigidity, and attach a lead bead with a hole on top. It will add heaviness to the structure. After this, the components should be attached to each other with glue, and a thread of fishing line should be inserted into the tube.
A small bombard is made from a syringe. In general, everything is very simple here: you just need to make a hole for the fishing line and everything will be ready. All you need to do is adjust the appearance of the device. The syringe will become a float due to the cavity, which will fill with water.
Now let's look at how to make the analogue, which is more difficult to create, correctly. With this solution, the body will be created from granular foaming polystyrene. The mold will consist of 150 grams of epoxy, and its body will be made of a piece of pipe with a diameter of 3.6 centimeters, made of metal and pre-cut lengthwise.
In addition, to fasten a pair of these elements you will need to have clamps on hand.
About making in a bucket
This method is suitable for those craftsmen who do not have a gas stove or blowtorch. The whole process will take place in a bucket. Also, to kindle lead, you will need a tin can, which must first be equipped with a 1.5 mm hole. According to experts, such a diameter at the output will give a fraction of the seventh number. If necessary, the hole can be easily expanded using a regular drill or sewing needle. First, the bucket must be filled halfway with cold water. Next, a container with lead (a pan or a jar) is placed in it. Installation is carried out using metal rods. It is important that a distance of no more than 5 cm is maintained from the bottom of the jar to the surface of the water.
Having completed all the necessary measurements, this container is removed and the bucket is filled with diesel fuel (within 3-4 liters). Experts recommend melting battery and pure lead in a 50:50 ratio. It is advisable to add it to the container gradually. If you overdo it, a lot of pressure will form in the jar, causing tails to appear in the pellets. After the can is installed, the contents of the bucket are set on fire. To do this, moisten a rag with flammable material, carefully set it on fire and throw it into diesel fuel. After some time, you need to lightly tap the container with lead. This is necessary so that it begins to flow out of the hole. Having overcome the layer of burning diesel fuel, the already formed pellet falls into the water, where it finally cools down.
Equipment for a homemade bombard
Making a homemade bombard is only part of the process, because all that remains is to equip the spinning rod with it, after which you can actually start fishing. This process is, in principle, simple and consists of several simple steps. Its algorithm will be as follows:
At this point, the equipment for the homemade bombard will be completed, after which you can go to the reservoir. As you can see, even a novice fisherman can carry out the above steps.
What is a bombard?
Fishing with a bombard is a type of equipment that allows you to catch a variety of fish, the main element of which is a float in the form of a miniature egg, strung along its axis on a small diameter tube. The main role of this float is to ensure the casting range of small bait, as well as control the level of depth of the thrown bait during the process of retrieving it.
For general development and to exclude double assessments, I can say with confidence that the name of the bombard float, which has become more familiar to us, is quite identical to the word sbirulino. Therefore, there is no need to look for differences in equipment, since it is absolutely the same equipment. This float is made of dense plastic and its colors can vary from transparent specimens to options with exotic colors, for example, acidic or black with a metallic tint.
A group of fishermen revealed the name of the secret bait during interrogation.

Do-it-yourself fishing drach
Are you bored with a fishing rod on the lake? Doesn't bite? Let's fix it! Today we will make our own tackle that will not let you get bored on the pond. Tackle that you can take with you anywhere. Fishing, hiking, and even to the Bolshoi Theater. If you are not a fisherman at all and go on a weekend hike with your other half, you can always surprise and delight her with a delicious fish soup made from spontaneously caught fish in the very first forest pond. Unless, of course, your other half gets around to reading this publication first.
- a piece of wire 20-30 cm. In my case, it is copper. Yours contains any soft wire.
- pliers. Everyone has them. If they don’t exist, we take them from a neighbor.
- ball pen. In my case. In yours - door, women's, etc.
- two foam balls.
That's all we need. Now calculate the costs, taking into account the fact that the ballpoint pen, nails and pliers will not be damaged during the manufacture of the equipment.
This gear has dozens of names, but in order not to get confused, let’s call it a non-lost one .
We pick up a piece of wire with a diameter of 1 mm and hand it over to a non-ferrous metal collection point, and with the money raised...
No, wait! This is a slightly different story. Using pliers, twist a small eyelet at the end of the wire, wrapping it around a nail. We bite off the extra piece of wire and bend it so that the sharp tip does not stick out.
2.
We step back from our loop about 30 mm by eye and twist another eye at the other end of the wire.
This time we do not cut anything, but carry out the process of disassembling the ballpoint pen in order to separate the rod from its body. Then we insert the free end of the wire into the body of the ballpoint pen and begin to twist the turns.
When the required number of turns is ready, remove the wire from the body of the ballpoint pen and set it aside.
We wrap the free end of the wire around the already twisted ear and bite off the excess. Did it turn out ugly? Dont be upset! Beauty is not needed here and it will not affect catchability in any way. Moreover, the fish will not see it. Now you can see with your own eyes the size of our gear. It will even fit into a matchbox.
3.
Next we will need two small fish hooks and a piece of fishing line. In my case, it is a thin braid.
We tie the hooks to the fishing line. The fishing line goes to our wire ears. Take your time and tie the knots well. Be sure to wet each knot with water or saliva before tightening. This is done so that the turns do not heat up and fray the line when tightened.
4.
Now we have two leashes 4 cm long, tied on both sides of our tackle. We tie our main fishing line to any of the ears.
When fishing, we put a foam ball on each hook.
5.
Our equipment is assembled.
Now let’s immerse it in a container of water to make sure that our hooks float up thanks to the foam balls.
How it works?
1. The tackle is stuffed with porridge or bread, kneaded tightly and thrown into the pond. There is no need to insert hooks into the porridge.
In the skillful hands of a poacher, a spinning rod turns into a weapon for killing fish.
Winter, and after it spring, turned out to be dry this year. Most rivers in Belarus, including the Pripyat, already have a minimum water level. But now is the calendar period when in normal years the main water artery of Polesie turned into a real sea. The period when most of the fish living in Belarus dispersed across this sea to give birth. There were good spawnings, and there were a lot of fish in our rivers. But for six years now, the rivers have not overflowed their banks in the spring, and the fish’s opportunities for normal spawning have been greatly reduced. Problem? Yes! But nature is very plastic, and in a few years the fish “population” would adapt to existing conditions. Bream learned to spawn along coastal bushes, roach and ide began to colonize shallow waters overgrown with grass. The most vulnerable in this situation was the pike perch.
Photo by the author Like salmon, for spawning pike perch always chooses sections of the river where it was once born. These are areas of oxbow lakes and slow-flowing tributaries of a large river with a hard bottom and good oxygen conditions. Male pike perch for some time after spawning also guard the clutch of eggs, as well as the fry that hatch from them. This feature of their behavior makes it possible to greatly reduce the loss of juveniles in the first days of life. But due to the abnormal shallowing of rivers and the subsequent swamping of many beaches, the number of spawning grounds has decreased significantly. And the male pike perch guarding the egg laying is a very easy prey. Losing caution, he seeks to protect the eggs and fry from any intrusion, be it a fish, a stick or fishing bait. Like a dog, the new father rushes at an object that comes into his attention zone and tries to drive it out of the “kindergarten”. As a result, he himself often becomes a victim. Catching pike perch on spawning grounds by the belly, cheek, or pectoral fin is not such a rare occurrence. And even if the fish is released into the wild after being caught, there is no guarantee that it will return to the clutch. And this means the caviar is doomed. Without the additional aeration provided by the parent's fins, it will die.
At one time, the state decided to help pike perch, and for many years a personal ban on catching this fish has been introduced (clause 107 of the Rules for Fisheries and Fishing). However, trouble did not come from the direction from which it was expected. Taking advantage of the democratic nature of the same rules, namely their paragraph 105, many fishermen deliberately gather in the spawning grounds of pike perch and begin their mass extermination. And the most convenient gear for this is a spinning rod. Yes, yes, the same spinning rod that is often called the most sports equipment. In the skillful hands of a modern poacher, it turns into a weapon for killing fish. Moreover, it is not only pike perch that fall under the distribution. By replacing the usual jig head with a terrible tackle, which among these same poachers is called a “fly”, a spinning rod can be turned into an effective means for catching any schooling fish (bream, silver bream, bluegill). The fly is based on the Carolina rig, which is familiar to many. The only difference is that behind the sinker there is a long leash with a terrible tee at the end (the tee is chosen larger and sharper so that it pierces the skin for sure). For camouflage, a thread edge is tied to the tee. On the surface, everything looks completely legal. But how many fish have already been caught by these “flies”! In conversation, the fans of this draconian method of fishing themselves admitted to me that for every three or four strikes there is only one effective strike, after which the fish ends up in the fisherman’s bag. And every blow is a laceration on the fish’s body. And no one knows where it ended up, and no one cares whether the fish will survive after this. But the worst thing is that the craze for “flies” has truly acquired pandemic proportions. Poacher’s “coronavirus”, and that’s all. They come to Pripyat from all over Belarus for easy prey. More than once, walking with a fishing rod along the shore of the well-known old man of Barbarovsky, I met “gentlemen of fortune” from all regions of the country. On other days, cars are like at the car market in Malinovka.
Yes, perhaps you will say that the inspectorate should deal with this. I agree, but... I have repeatedly turned to her employees with a request to stop this chaos. They do their job honestly: they react quickly and try to cover as much territory as possible in raids. But can you have time everywhere? What can a dozen inspectors oppose to thousands of lovers of easy money? And it is very difficult to prove the guilt of an overbearing fisherman. All the advantages are on the side of the poachers. When the inspector sees the tackle, you can simply cut it off. And the fish? I accidentally caught it. Like, forgive me for this, but don’t let her back out with a wound on her stomach. Well, if the inspector catches a dozen of the most desperate poachers, it won’t make things any easier for the fish. Calling fishermen who have lost their conscience to order is also useless. I see only one way out: to ban the use of spinning rods from November 15 (when white fish begin to gather in schools for the winter) until the end of the spring spawning ban, as is done in Russia. Hard? Yes. But if we don’t take action now, we may be left without fish tomorrow.
How to make a muzzle for catching fish
Fishing devices have been used for a long time. In ancient times, people were more interested in the catch and simplicity of design, rather than the fishing process itself, so traps were more in demand. Now fishing has become a hobby, but the demand for passive methods of catching fish remains. One of the most effective devices is the muzzle (muzzle, muzzle, venter, kubar, wick, top). A person may need it for various reasons. You can find a ready-made version in stores, but it will be more economical to make it yourself. Below we will describe how to make a muzzle for catching fish at home.
Popular types of gear for catching crucian carp
Float tackle
One of the most popular types of gear today.
Types of float equipment:
- a fishing rod without a reel with a blind rig, 4 to 6 m long and a small and sensitive float up to 2 g;
- a fishing rod with a reel and a float moving along the line to the elastic, installed at a certain distance from the hook.
What does float tackle consist of:
- Fishing line. The thickness of the fishing line is up to 0.15 mm, the thickness of the leash is up to 0.1 mm. It is advisable to change the fishing line every season.
- Hooks. Good sharpened hooks with a tenacious beard. For large fish, sizes No. 5, 6, 7 are suitable.
- Float. Light and spindly is the best option.
Feeder tackle
Such tackle for crucian carp is one of the most accurate and modern. Rod length up to 3.3 m, medium reel, thin lines 0.16–0.18 mm, light feeder up to 40 g. The tip of the rod is very sensitive, so any bite is noticeable.
For such gear, a fishing line with a thickness of 0.16–0.2 mm and a leash of 0.12 mm .
Description of the device
The top for catching fish is a simple design, often made in the form of a cylinder, into which necks tapering inwards are inserted on one or more sides. A weighting agent is placed in the body, which pulls the trap to the bottom, as well as a bait that attracts fish. Once inside, she will no longer be able to find a way out. All varieties of kubar work on this principle. To choose the right type, you can look at approximate drawings on the Internet, like these:
Different muzzle schemes

Over 7 years of active fishing, I have found dozens of ways to improve the bite. Here are the most effective ones:
- Bite activator . This pheromone additive attracts fish most strongly in cold and warm water. Discussion of the bite activator “Hungry Fish”.

Silver carp resists no worse in winter than in summer, so during fishing it needs to be given time to get tired: then it is easily brought to the hole to be pulled onto the ice using a hook.
Tools and materials
Before you start making a kubar with your own hands, you need to decide what it will be made of.
Usually they use improvised materials that can be found everywhere:
The remaining devices depend on the selected venter option. For example, if you make it from a bottle, then in order to make holes in it you will need a soldering iron, and when working with wire you need wire cutters or pliers. You also need a prepared workplace where the face will be made.

The choice of hook depends on the size of the fish:
- for small ones - No. 2–3,
- for medium - No. 4–6,
- for large ones - No. 7–10, with a leash of 10–15 cm.
Match equipment
It is a type of float tackle. Typically used for catching large crucian carp and for long casts. Or if the bank is very overgrown and you need to move it all over.
You need to choose a fishing rod depending on the depth. The deeper, the longer the rod.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW! Fishermen caught 25 kg of fish using the Fish XXL ! Read more.
The reel for this kind of fishing comes with a special one, marked with the word “Match”.
For better visibility during long-distance fishing, eccentric antennas are used in addition to the float .
Manufacturing process
As mentioned, there are many options for top design. It all depends on the qualities required of the device. Some people want to do it quickly and simply, others need compactness and light weight, while others only care about reliability. Therefore, below we will discuss several types of muzzles for fishing and step-by-step instructions for their manufacture.
Plastic bottle trap
This option is the least expensive. All you need is a plastic bottle, fishing line and a device that can be used to make small neat holes through which water will pass (soldering iron or drill). The holes are needed to prevent an air pocket from forming inside the structure. For this type of muzzle you need a bottle with a volume of at least five liters. First, the neck is cut off. A narrow hole is cut to increase the maximum size of fish caught. The resulting part is inserted back into the bottle with the narrow half inward and secured with glue. A fishing line is attached to the resulting structure and the device is ready. All that remains is to put the weight and bait inside, and you can start fishing.
Photo of the finished top from the bottle
This type of trap is not compact or reliable, but is easy to reproduce. If you want to try catching with a homemade trap, then you can take a closer look at this option.
Frame muzzle made of wire and mesh
This option is no longer so easy to implement, but it has increased strength and the ability to choose the dimensions yourself. To make such a muzzle you will need a durable garden plastic mesh, nylon rope and steel wire.
A frame of metal rings connected to each other is created from wire using pliers to form a neck shape. All elements are held together using the same pliers. When the main frame is ready, it is covered with plastic mesh. It is secured to the structure with a rope. After this, two pieces of fishing line are tied to the trap. One is shorter (a load will be tied to it), the other is longer (to tie the top to the shore). After all these steps, the device is ready for use.
Frame top
You can learn more about how to make a top of this type, and also make sure it works in this video:
Full metal muzzle
In order not to think that some passing muskrat will bite through the net and get to the catch, you can make the top entirely of metal. Of course, there can be no talk of compactness or light weight, but this method is the most reliable compared to others. To make such a trap you will need galvanized mesh and wire. The principle of creation is the same as that of the frame top. First, rings are made, which are connected by longitudinal rods. After this, the entire structure is covered with a metal mesh.
Since the entire device is made of metal, there is no need to attach additional weight; all that remains is to tie a longer piece of fishing line to it and go after the catch.
Versha from the network
If you need the trap to take up little space, you can use a ready-made rope net to wrap it around. Otherwise, the design is very similar to the previous two. First, a frame is made from any hard and flexible material, only this time the rings are not connected to each other by longitudinal rods. This is necessary so that the top can fold comfortably. After the base is assembled, it is covered with a net. The net is attached to the frame using rope or wire. You need to carefully check all attachment points, otherwise the trap may fail at the wrong moment. Just like in the version with a plastic mesh, here you also need to tie two pieces of fishing line
Fishing tackle
A fishing nipple is not a very sporting tackle, but with its help it is very effective in catching various types of peaceful fish. The larger its size, the smarter it is, and no wonder, because it is not easy to reach such a size in a body of water where danger awaits at every step.
A nipple, also known as a smoktukha, is a bottom equipment that has common features with a feeder. There are many different designs, but the scheme of operation is the same - a feeder and short leashes. Smoktukha is often compared to a “crucian carp killer,” but it is much easier to make.
With a smoktukha you can successfully fish in areas where it is not possible to throw other gear due to the risk of snags. The tackle is intended for calm waters or in small currents, since even the thickest bait is easily washed out of the feeder.
Among the many types of gear, three main ones can be distinguished:
The smoktukha can be made in two versions - fixed or movable. In the first option, a spring feeder is used. For production, scaffolding 0.8 m long is taken and a loop is made.
A PVC tube is placed on the inside of the feeder and scaffolding is stretched. A silicone locking ring is made on top.
Blind equipment is much easier to make. Leashes with hooks are mounted on all sides of the feeder. The feeder is tightly tied to the central line. As the bait is laid, the hooks are masked one after another.
Often fishermen attach foam mugs to hooks. The same carp, attracted by the aroma of food, begins to suck it, retracting the hook. When fishing passively with smoktukha, the fish hooks itself.
After casting, the angler just has to wait until the nipple fishing feeder is empty, and the fish pulls one or two hooks into its mouth and hooks correctly.
In this case, it is sometimes necessary to remove the equipment from the reservoir for inspection.
If active fishing is carried out, a bite alarm is used, with which you can control all touches of the fish to the bait. The fisherman just has to wait for the right moment and make a hook. This type of fishing technique is similar to feeder fishing.
Donkey rod
Any spinning rod is suitable as a fishing rod, and neither its length, nor weight, nor guide rings play any role. The main thing is that it is compact and durable. You can even use a monolithic spinning rod one and a half meters long.
However, if you have a choice, it is better to choose a telescopic fishing rod made of fiberglass materials. Its length can vary from two meters, and the test - up to forty grams. If long-range casting is required, you can choose a longer rod.
You can use either an inertia-free meat grinder, or an inertia-type “Nevskoy” grinder, or even a more expensive multiplier. The average standard size of a spinning reel is 2500-3500, however, if you plan to catch trophy fish, a multiplier reel-soap dish is appropriate, which we wrote about in the article “How to use a multiplier reel for a spinning rod and its principle of operation.”
Properly equipped nipples are the key to successful fishing. When sucking in the food, the fish must also suck in the hooks, so not only the correct choice of equipment elements is important, but also proper installation, and only then think about how to fish correctly on the nipple.
It is enough to wind fifty meters of braid or monofilament on a reel. If preference is given to monofilament line, then its cross-section can be 0.2-0.3 mm, the diameter of the braid is slightly smaller. In addition, due to its very low elongation, braided thread is considered more sensitive.
For leashes it is better to use braid, as it is softer. This is considered an important point, since fish, swarming in the feeder, often bump into leashes. It does not react to soft ones, but hard monofilament can alert the fish. The length of the leash is within five centimeters.
It is important to remember that the leash’s breaking ability should be slightly less than that of the central line, then in the event of a snag, the equipment will remain intact.
The central line is attached to the feeder via a swivel and a carbine; on the one hand, this will speed up the installation and dismantling process, on the other hand, it will protect it from twisting.
Peas for nipple fishing are used not only as bait, but also as bait. This recipe has a second name - mastyrka, and it is not difficult to prepare.
Directly on the shore, you can add semolina to the porridge to increase the viscosity, or dilute it with water from the pond if the bait is too thick. This is one of the most effective recipes, especially considering that porridge can not only be placed in a feeder, but also used as a bait.
Millet porridge
It just so happens that some fishermen prefer peas for fishing, others pearl barley, and still others prefer millet. But how to prepare such porridge so that it is able to keep fish near it for a long time? The technology is simple; you need to take eight liters of water per kilogram of millet. The cereal is poured into the pan after boiling water and cooked for fifteen minutes.
The product is considered cooked if the millet begins to open. The fire turns off immediately. A glass of sunflower seeds is twisted in a meat grinder and mixed with porridge. You can also add flavorings.
The question of how to catch fish on a nipple will immediately disappear if you use another fairly common recipe. Any peaceful fish is very favorable towards hominy, or corn porridge. To increase its plasticity, corn flour is mixed with wheat flour.

Fishing tackle durilka
The many names of winter donkey do not affect its structure, which depends only on the fishing conditions, and especially the current. Differences may lie in the method of attaching the leash or the length of release of the hook with the nozzle.
The weight of the weight is between 6-8 g. It is made in the shape of a ball or olive. The leash must be secured below the weight through a swivel. Some fishermen, for a ten-meter height, tie a leash above the sinker, and instead of a hook use a phosphorescent jig.
Types of tyrants
Tackle with this name is fishing equipment, which consists of a fishing line, cord or nylon core about 50 m long, wound on a reel. More reliable is the tyrant who is mounted on a 1 meter long rod with guide rings and a spinning reel. A leader equipped with a weight and a set of hooks is attached to the main line; it is called a stake. With the help of a simple device, you can catch several trophies at once in one cast. Use it both at a specific place and on the go. The primary purpose of the tyrant was to catch sea predatory fish, but it is also practiced for the peaceful inhabitants of the reservoir.
Common differences between the options for this equipment are:
- length of undergrowth and leashes attached to them;
- sizes of hooks and their number;
- color of the bait used;
- weight and shape of the sinker;
- methods of attaching feathers.
Based on these components, there are two most commonly used types: “noticeable” tyrants and “playing” ones. The first feathers on the hooks are much larger and have shorter undergrowth. Such models perform well on bright autumn days, when the water is much darker than in the warm season. The second ones have smaller feathers and a long undergrowth. They serve well in clear water in spring and summer at dawn and before sunset, as well as in moments of complete calm.
Fishing technique with winter tackle
The weight must be lowered to the bottom and tapped on the surface, then oscillations are performed with a nod. Next, a pull is made to the length of the fishing rod and hand. At this moment the bite most often occurs. If this does not happen, the weight is again released with the flow, and oscillatory movements are made along the way. The tackle can also be installed motionless - it will work due to the current, but maximum effectiveness is achieved according to the scheme described above.
After 2-3 unsuccessful pulls, the line is released from the reel, which allows the weight to go forward several meters downstream. Then the procedure is repeated. The length of the care can be up to 50 meters, but more often this figure is within 10-20 m. It is important to choose the correct weight of the weighting element, which will allow it to roll along the bottom.
Fishing with a baitfish involves using the usual bloodworm as bait. In spring, you can use a worm for large fish.
Additional recommendations concern holes - they are drilled diagonally, towards the flow. The tilt allows you to reduce the friction of the fishing line on the edge of the hole, which in severe frost becomes sharp like a blade.
The described technique is used in winter for catching white-eye, crucian carp, bream and many other fish. It is only necessary to make small adjustments to the preferences of certain underwater inhabitants.
What kind of fish can you catch?
Rolling tackle is a universal device. When used correctly, it helps to catch many peaceful and some types of predatory fish. While skating, you can catch almost all types of white fish, which are active during this period.
Quite often, fishermen catch bream, roach, and silver bream by rolling. It also helps catch crucian carp, carp, and white-eye. Among the predators, the tackle allows you to catch perch. It quickly reacts to bait that swims along the bottom. The twitch can also tempt pike perch to bite.

Important! It is recommended to choose gear depending on the fish you plan to catch and the characteristics of the reservoir. With the right choice and presentation of bait, you can get an excellent catch.
