When fishing, you should pay special attention toattention gear. The success of the whole enterprise depends directly on them. Sometimes it's expensive to buy shop lures. If there is a desire and extra time, you can create self-made wobblers. They are made of different materials. The very process of making baits is very exciting. Having learned how to make wobblers, you can experiment with their form.
Each technique has its secrets.Before you start, you should study all the details of the process of creating self-made wobblers. They will not be worse than the purchased ones. After the creation of several fisherman's lures, it may be possible to perform the product even more efficiently than the copies of the well-known manufacturers that are on sale.
Wondering how to make a wobblersindependently, first of all pay attention to the material of the hull. Most often, a tree is used for this purpose. However, it is better not to take coniferous rocks to create a wobblers. Do not fit also heavy in the processing of oak, birch or beech. The best thing for such a bait is a linden tree.
Some fishermen began to create wobblers fromold balsa floats. Foam plastic, plexiglas or plastic are also quite suitable for these purposes. Even the usual economic sponge will come in handy for self-made bait. Wobblers for trolling on pike perch, pike or other predatory fish, many anglers do precisely from this material.
For pike fishing polystyrene is better not to use. Otherwise, the wobbler will quickly deteriorate under the teeth of the river predator. Also it should be noted that special tools will be needed to handle Plexiglas and plastic.
A feature of the wobbler is his ability to dive to a certain depth. The bait creates noise, which is noticed by predatory fish. Therefore, the blade should be given special attention.
It can be transparent.For such a blade, you need a sheet of polycarbonate, plastic or plexiglass. If the transparent blade is unimportant for the new bait, different sheet metals are used. Self-made wobblers can have a blade made of brass, aluminum, copper or titanium. The thickness of the sheet for this element should be 1.5-3 mm.
Intending to create self-made fishing tackle,should think over materials to cover the body of the product. This is especially important for wooden wobblers. To ensure that their body is not destroyed by water, the varnish will have to be applied without fail.
To make a wobbler with your own hands, you needprepare the epoxy resin. Covering the body of the bait is done with the help of nitro-lacquer. Wishing to create multi-colored wobblers, apply paints on its basis. Longer-lived are pentaphthalic varnishes (PF-283). They look better. There are paints based on such a varnish.
If you want to primetrovat body, you should use aluminum crumb. Sometimes it is mixed with bronze. Dry materials are kneaded in a suitable varnish.
Studying the question of how to make a wobbler, it follows thatpay attention to the selection of tools. They are sure to be in the arsenal of the home master. First of all, you need to prepare a knife. If his blade is blunted, you should sharpen it. Otherwise, it will be difficult to work with any material. The knife should not be big. It's easier to give the wobbler the shape of a short, but strong blade.
Next, you need to prepare a hacksaw for metal,files and files. Their profile must be different. To make it convenient to pinch the wire, use pliers or round pliers. To grind roughness of the workpiece, sandpaper is required. It is selected in accordance with the type of material of the shell. For convenience, the workpiece must be held in a vice. These are the main tools. For coloring, brushes of different sizes will be needed.
Experienced fishermen are advised to start their own production of baits from the selection of a suitable shape. And it's better to copy products of famous brands. Preference should be given to the simplest specimens.
The body of the bait can be elongated (minnow) orshort and paunchy (fat). In the first case, you can make a wobbler from a toothbrush, and in the second - from a bar of wood. It will be more correct to produce a small batch (up to 5 pieces) of the same baits. This will save time and materials.
The whole process is divided into 4 stages: the manufacture of all elements, running in, assembling and painting. Each of them has its own characteristics. Experienced fishermen tell about them.
Making homemade wobblers in the homeconditions begins with the measurement of the sample. Next, select the appropriate bar material. Applying the shape of the wobbler, the size is increased by 1 mm for the possibility of processing the mold.
With a knife, cut out the desired shape.The workpiece is clamped in a vice. On the belly of the bait, the nail is made. It is carried out by checking the sample. Next, the shape is processed so that the notch is centered. The symmetry here is very important.
With the help of emery, the workpiece is made very smooth.In its nose, the nail is made at an angle, as in the specimen. Then a blade is cut from the plexiglass or other suitable material. With the help of the file, the handle is given the correct shape. The blade must stand in the nail file tightly and symmetrically. In the appropriate places, wire is attached.
Homemade wobblers must be properly weighted. To do this, use a piece of lead of the required thickness. A load is inserted into the transverse nag. This will give buoyancy to the product.
If the load is located on 4/5 of the body, the wobbler will be standard. It will easily be able to float on the surface and shallowly dive when driving. You can also make a sinking lure or even a suspender.
If necessary, the weight of the finished wobblack is corrected by tees or winding rings. In this case, the finished product should be oriented horizontally in the water.
Creating wobblers for trolling on pike perch, pikeor perch modeled on the bait of a well-known manufacturer, it is possible to achieve an identical game of gear. Such a result can be achieved if each element was executed strictly in accordance with the form of the original.
If small errors were made,run-in a little to correct the product. The shape and the inclination of the steering wheel affect the game of the wobblers in the water. If the blade is wide, the bait plays with a large amplitude, but at a lower frequency. With a large inclination of the blade, the wobbler more hesitates, but it is not deep in the water.
Also, you need to adjust the position of the toploops. It has less effect on the game of tackle, but this element should not be left without attention. The vibrations of the bait should be stable. If at high speed the wobbler throws aside, it is necessary to bend the loop in front in the opposite direction.
But the steering wheel must pass along the axis of symmetry. After running in, all the parts are disassembled, dried and prepared for final assembly.
At the final stage, using epoxy resinglue all the details. It is better to add sawdust (this will prevent the mixture from escaping). When assembling it is necessary to pay attention to symmetry.
All the cracks, pores and irregularities are covered with resin. Hinges and other structural elements are cleaned with a file. Then the product is primed with a varnish with aluminum crumb.
After complete drying, paint is applied,compatible with varnish. The eyes of the wobbler are drawn. They should be white or yellow with a black pupil. The very body of the bait can be any color. Fish in water do not distinguish color. Therefore, the choice of shade depends only on the preferences of the master.
Some fishermen are interested in how to get rid ofodor of lacquer self-made wobblers. Firstly, it should be noted that it is impossible to take cheap, low-quality varnish for such work. It is better to give preference to varieties on a water basis. They are completely safe for human health, and also differ in durability.
Secondly, if the substandard varnish was inflictedon the product, you can correct the situation. After drying from above, another layer should be applied. But this must be done by NC-varnish. It dries quickly and eliminates the unpleasant odor of the previous layer.
The better the last layer dries, the stronger and durable will be the wobblers. Finally, a tee is attached to it. The bait for the predatory fish is ready!
Anyone can create self-made wobblers if they wish. It's a fascinating process. Make a quality wobblack will be after a few samples. It will bring a big catch and a sea of positive emotions.
