It is often difficult for a fisherman to find the right balance for a particular type of fishing. Here the mass of necessary qualities should be combined - such as ease, planning on the water and convenient size. Fishery shops, despite the wide variety of assortment, can not always please with “the same” balancer, therefore it is much easier and more pleasant to make it yourself - such homemade It will definitely meet all the requirements of the fisherman and will make the fishing process itself enjoyable and exciting.
Materials:
• A foam of medium hardness - it should not be brittle, but a foam, hard as a stone, will not work;
• Two middle hooks, two swivels and one triplet of the corresponding size;
• Epoxy resin and glue from the “Moment” or “Superglue” series;
• Ordinary manicure varnishes to cover the balance;
• A piece of plastic - you can take a piece of plastic tarytemnyh tones;
• A pair of lead crushers weighing 0.2 and 0.4 g;
• Clockwork ring.
Instruments:
• Paper knife and simple scissors;
• Sandpaper with fine grains;
• Thick marker;
• File;
• Awl or pin for punctures;
• Tweezers.
Process of creation:
Step one
To begin with, we will prepare a foam plastic - it will become the basis of the balancer. We take a piece of polystyrene foam 2.5 cm wide and mark the cut-off points with a felt-tip pen - this is necessary so that the balancer turns out to be even and regular in shape. With an office knife, we cut off the excess parts of the foam - the body of the future bait is ready. We process the workpiece, smooth the corners. Using an awl or a large pin, we make a hole for the swivels in the workpiece - a groove should be obtained, and two holes along the edges for hooks. To create a shipment we use pellets. We create gutters with tweezers and a knife.
Second step
After all the holes are created, and the workpiece has found its shape, it is necessary to process it with glue. The glue will perfectly protect the foam from water and preserve the appearance and functionality of the balancer. After complete drying, we attach the swivels on top and bottom of the workpiece, fix them with epoxy and coat them with fasteners for full density. Immediately using the same epoxy, we fix the prepared hooks and pellets and leave to dry completely.
Step three
From a piece of a plastic bottle we create a tail for the future balancer. To do this, give the plastic a shape and bend at an angle. Epoxy will serve as a bonding material.After all the balancer parts are fixed in place, we again cover the product with glue and leave it to dry completely.
Fourth step
After drying, all irregularities must be cleaned with sandpaper. After that, you can start painting the workpiece with manicure varnish. For the best fishing quality, the upper part - the back of the balancer, is covered with brown varnish, and the abdomen is bright fluorescent to attract attention. A few dark dots are placed on the abdomen - an imitation of a real fish is obtained. We cover the workpiece with a varnish fixer.
Fifth step
We attach a double to the bottom swivel - the crown is useful here. The balancer is ready to use!
Conclusion
This bait is perfect for fishing at a depth of up to two and a half meters. Fish pecks at it even in the most difficult places, however, in case the bite did not succeed, it is necessary to change the place of fishing.
