Inveterate anglers used to make snap do it yourself, often inventing his little tricks in his hobby. If you are new to fishing and you really want to craft something for fishing yourself, then start with a spinner for zander. It is done with a minimum amount of materials and is quite simple, without requiring any specialized skills.
How to make a lure for catching zander, see this video
For spinners you will need:
- brass;
- tin;
- awl;
- scissors;
- pliers;
- sandpaper;
- soldering iron 40 W;
- clamp;
- drill;
- file.
Pike perch consists of two brass plates, between which tin is poured. In our case, 0.3 mm thick brass is used. From it we cut the outline of the baubles. Inveterate fishermen will always find a couple of patterns by which they make baubles. If there is no template, it will simply be made by yourself, cutting just the right shape from the metal.
We draw a contour on brass with an awl and cut out two mirror parts with scissors. Trim with pliers. We apply both parts to each other and trim them as much as possible.
We clean the details with sandpaper, each on one side.
We make a slight bend in both parts. It should be borne in mind that the cleaned sides should be inside when joining the workpieces. And also between the workpieces a small gap of 2-3 mm should form.
Now the details on the cleaned side must be carefully tinned. We hold the part with a clamp for easy operation.
We apply details to each other with tinned sides inward. We fasten the narrower tip of both workpieces in the clamp. We begin slowly, gently solder the sides of the workpieces. Gradually solder both edges, while maintaining the space between the workpieces and filling it with solder.
Try not to overheat the bait during operation. Give her time to cool after touching with a soldering iron. If the spinner is constantly hot, solder will flow out of it.
For convenience, you can first close one side to make it deaf and only then from the second side begin to fill the space between the tin blanks.
Spoon is almost ready. Now it remains to drill a hole for attaching the hook, as well as a file to remove excess tin on brass and a small deposit.
We attach a hook to the spinner and you can go fishing.
