the Self-made spinerbait

Sergey Konovalov

In the fifth number of magazine «Fishing world» for last year I have read a material about Nikolay Chervonogo's discussion from firm "Сигиттариус" with known Moscow a spinning man Konstantin Kuzmin concerning spinerbaits. The new bait so has interested me, that would buy like a quite good spinerbait of firm "Adams". And on the first fishing worthlessly it has lost - the cord has twisted a spinning at a tulip, and I have not noticed it and have made a casting …

In the Evening, sorting out tackles, I have discovered in a table box the whole box of petals for a spinner. Before occurrence of soft baits I fished only on them. And, "revolving objects" did itself completely - from a forming and polishing of petals before casting of chart weights. Here I was come to also mind by idea to apply stores of petals for building of a self-made spinerbait. Has incurvated some delays in the big hasp. On its one end has fastened well-known "Predator" on a circular 10-gramme jig-head, on another, through a swivel - a white petal from a spoon bait "Trofimovsky".

Next day I have gone on fishing. There was a late autumn, the aquatic vegetation has fallen to a bottom already almost in all bays. Warmed the avaricious autumn sun. Experience suggested me, that in such conditions all small small fish directs on a bank and hides in the residuals of aquatic vegetation. There are shipped to hunt both predators: a pike and the darter. A problem for spinning men the habitual: it is necessary as it is possible to conduct more slowly a bait among seaweed on metre depth.

Each fisher solves such problem in own way. I have decided to try a self-made spinerbait, and have there and then caught a kilogramme pike. In general it was improbably successful day. One my friend by the evening had 4 pikes, at another 5 pikes, and at me, really do not say lies, whole 17. I caught only on a self-made spinerbait, and have discovered in it mass of advantages.

The First and main advantage of such combined bait, in my opinion, consists that in it advantages of "revolving objects" and "rubber" are successfully combined. At conducting of a self-made spinerbait bait rotation you feel, how at catching on spinners. But it does not have tee pipe, therefore it gathers "grass" much less, moreover and during conducting as though moves apart seaweed. The second advantage of this homemade product consists that "revolving object" helps "silicone" to be held accurately on the set diving depth. At reeling on top on the banks which have grown with a grass it in general the irreplaceable thing, sails literally under a surface of water moreover and does not cling almost to a grass.

In general, the first success has inspired me, and from old bars for "revolving objects", a wire and various rubber I have done the house set of self-made spinerbaits, and since autumn of last year I catch only on them. Experiments were helped strongly by that circumstance, that I never pursue quantity of the caught fish also one beautiful to a bitting of correctly "calculated" fish I appreciate more than much small pike of which so other spinning men are proud.

In the Autumn, the truth, and I have caught many pikes 700-800-граммового weight. In a grass they did not miss my spinerbait. Bittings for a petal were frequent, and I have perceived, that between the area of a revolving object and the rubber dimension there should be an interrelation approximately 1 to 4. Too big petal leads to that the fish accepts as extraction any more "Predator" with a hook, and "spinner" without a hook.

Once I hunted in water-lily thickets where, I knew it precisely, directly to them the four-metre underwater ditch approached. Having thrown once again a spinerbait to grass margin, I have tried to allow to go deep to it to the bottom. Has followed powerful a bitting of a two-kilogramme pike. And I have thought, that such bait can be applied and at catching on a jig.

In the Spring after an ice descent it was possible to check up this assumption during fishing on a prespawning pike perch. Has opened nothing new I. Many spinning men with success apply jigs-heads with the tiny petals fixed on it. My zunder spinerbait basically differs nothing from the pike. Having made it, it is necessary to be convinced simply, that "revolving object" works and without conducting, at free fall in water. At catching of a pike perch on a no-bottom and with heavy current such spinerbait considerably increases pause time, therefore it is possible to apply a jig-head of the big weight that allows to do more long-distance casting.

I Fished in the spring only on a spinerbait, and I can not judge better or worse on it the pike perch in comparison with ordinary "rubber" is hunted. Catches at children from all our company were approximately identical. So established it is precisely possible to consider only such fact: catches on a jig at application of such bait are not worse at all, than at any others.

The summer has then come, and other fact became obvious: the spinerbait from small "Predator" with a tiny revolving object allows to establish in literal sense records at catching of darters. Any robber with red flippers does not miss it and when hunts on a small fish in a grass and when shoals of darters expel a small small fish on a surface. Vibrations of tiny "revolving object", probably so acquire darters, that they suffice a bait very greedy, engorge. At such fishing advantage of my bait was so obvious, that many my companions too have started to do self-made spinerbaits. Some of them tried to imitate firm "Adams" baits - to put on at once two petals. This idea has appeared unproductive. Resistance of a spinerbait was so considerable, that it brought under ours «over lungs» spinnings.

Objectivity for the sake of I wish to tell, that is at self-made spinerbaits and lacks. The bait at a casting tests an air resistance much more, than other. With the special accuracy it to throw difficultly. The hasp on which the bait is mounted, is often overflowed for a lead, especially if it tungsten. Strong, but ineffectual bittings for a petal often in vain spoil nerves. The asp, a chub and the ide, on my observations, on self-made spinerbaits do not take.

Recently my companion has offered the variant of a bait overcoming as it seems to it, all lacks of a spinerbait on a hasp. It has located a petal and "rubber" on one axis. Such bait gets confused much less often. At all I do not know, whether it is possible to call it as a spinerbait? Business, however, not in a title. The predatory fish on such baits is well hunted. To make them on forces to the majority spinning men. So I advise to friends-fishers to join our experiments.
