In order to have a good time fishing and return home with a good catch, lovers of such a vacation buy expensive fishing rods, baits, and technical equipment. But using homemade or factory grabber fishing tackle, you can achieve results with little investment.
A specialized fishing product vaguely resembles a lift or a fishing spider. These tackle consisted of a frame made of metal and a stretched net. The product was lowered into the water, waited for some time and pulled out with a quick movement. But these devices for catching fish were large, and the process of catching was stretched over time. The grabber has a more complex design, but the efficiency of fishing with this trap is increased. The product also has other names: cotton, cracker, umbrella.
What elements does it consist of
The composition of this active tackle may vary depending on the particular use. There is a sufficient weight of lead at the base of the product. Thick wire knitting needles are attached to it. You can use springs of a similar material or weights at their ends. The structure is immersed in water by means of rods made of durable fishing line. The whole system is equipped with a nylon mesh cloth. You can use a fishing line net. To simplify the operation of the trap, it is supplemented with a float.
Where and when they catch a grabber
This device is especially popular in the Far East; fishermen in Siberia are also satisfied with the effectiveness of the tackle. The main reason is the versatility of cotton: the trap is used around the clock and at any time of the year. Fishing with a grabber is just as popular in winter as in summer. The only caveat is that when fishing at night, the correct lighting is important. A simple flashlight is enough to attract the attention of a crucian carp.
A grabber should be used to catch river and lake fish, which are actively moving in the reservoir. Don't count on hibernating prey. With an incorrectly chosen place, you can fish for a long time and not catch it - catching with a grabber in a river with a strong current is ineffective.
Technique and tactics
The advantage of the umbrella fishing tackle is its extreme simplicity. The product sinks to the bottom of the reservoir. If fishing occurs from the shore, it is better to do it with a long pole. The fish swims into the trap and hooks the wings of the tackle. It is easier to notice the appearance of prey if the cotton is equipped with a float. It remains only with a sharp movement to get the net out of the water. The principle of the grabber is in the design feature that does not allow the fish to get out of it. To increase your fishing catch with your grabber umbrella, you need to follow the float and quickly raise the tackle with your hands.
Some fishermen prefer to use echo sounders, but if you act carefully, the trained instinct of the fisherman will be enough for a good catch. Important nuances:
- with possible large prey, it is better to fish with gloves;
- more loot can be obtained in the usual place;
- circular movements of the current increase the catch.
Too strong currents or too much silt at the bottom can make fishing very difficult.
How to do it yourself
Tackle can be purchased at specialized stores. A number of additional design features allow factory grabbers to lose the disadvantages of homemade models. But with quality materials and attention to detail, you can make winter fishing grabbers or all-season gear yourself. Since cotton is one of the simplest fishing items and is easy to use, it should be easy to build.
Materials and drawings
Before making a do-it-yourself fishing umbrella, it is better to familiarize yourself with the drawings or watch a few training videos. In this case, it will be easier for you to correctly compose a reliable tackle from the elements. The main set of in-demand grabber materials includes:
- strong net made of nylon or fishing line;
- four springs;
- lead cargo;
- fishing line, cord and cloth tape;
- compact wire ring.
You can add a float to this list. A thread net acts as the basis, and a net made of fishing line is more suitable for the wings. It is necessary to wrap the springs with electrical tape to prevent the tackle from slamming incorrectly. Insulated grabber springs are attached to the load. The rods should be pulled through the side cells, and 4 rods should be tied to them. The rods are connected in the upper part of the product by means of a ring and are threaded into the opening of the float. The traction cord is also tied here.
Disadvantages of the grabber
Despite the extensive list of advantages, this tackle also has negative properties. The product should sink to the bottom of the reservoir, which makes it difficult to fish at a significant depth. The catch is limited to species that do not hibernate and spend a lot of time on the move. Handmade seine-grabber often turns out to be sensitive to the current - the product does not fully unfold. If the bottom of the reservoir is covered with a layer of silt, the fishing process will be significantly complicated.

Many fishing enthusiasts devote all their free time to fishing. At the same time, anglers in love with their occupation are engaged in the manufacture of fishing tackle, such as bait, tackle, etc.
In the process of fishing, some silicone baits lose part of their bodies, and it is a pity to throw them away after that. If you collect several processed silicones, then you can make new working lures from them.
Manufacturing technology
- In a prepared container, gypsum is diluted to the state of thick sour cream. After that, old vibrating tails or twisters are dipped into the solution to get templates, after the gypsum hardens, the baits are taken out very carefully so as not to damage the shape. If there are any irregularities, then they are smoothed out with a sharp thin object.
- The form prepared in this way is thoroughly greased. The most suitable option is sunflower oil. This is necessary so that the finished product does not adhere to the shape during the manufacturing process.
- All mold casting operations must be performed outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.
- Old, waste silicone products are crushed into pieces and placed in dishes that are heated on the stove. To prevent the silicone from burning, it must be stirred regularly, while the fire should be at a distance of 15-20 cm from the container with silicone. If you add dyes to the silicone, then you can get the bait of the required color, and if you add flavoring, then it will already turn out to be an edible silicone.
- A well-heated and carefully mixed mass is poured into a mold. If you plan to get a two-color bait, then each new layer is poured after the first layer has dried.
- After about 15-20 minutes, when the silicone has cooled, the finished bait is removed from the mold, the mold is cleaned, greased with sunflower oil and the process is repeated.
Almost always, when fishing, it is necessary to quickly and efficiently change the bait or modify the rig by changing the leash or feeder. For these purposes, there is a design of a clasp, of a rather small size. Making it at home will not be difficult.
Manufacturing technology
- The following tool is required:
- nippers;
- round teeth or pliers;
- tweezers.
- A large staple bracket can serve as the basis of the material.
- The wire is bent with pliers into a shape that looks like a paper clip, but smaller.
- Excess ends are bitten off with nippers.
- A cambric of the appropriate size is selected so that it can be loosely put on with a fastener.
- The size of the cambric should be slightly larger than the fastener, so the excess is cut off.
- A piece of cambric is put on the fishing line and fixed with a knot.
- Any bait is attached to the other end of the mini-fastener, after which, with effort, the cambric is pulled.
- Mini clasp, ready to use.
For those who constantly fish from a boat, it will be helpful to have a simple but effective feeder. It will come in handy if you have to fish on a river where there is a current. To do this, you need the following elements:
- a piece of plastic sewer pipe;
- two fasteners;
- lead;
- electric drill;
- rope, rivets;
- loop and lock.
A piece of pipe is taken up to 30 cm long and plugs are installed on both sides. One of them is installed deaf, and the other in such a way that it can be easily removed. After that, holes are drilled over the entire surface. A rope is attached to the plug that opens. To prevent the plug from opening on its own, a lock or latch of any design is installed.
On the reverse side, where the plug is rigidly fixed, weights should be secured.
The feeder is lowered to the bottom on a rope and remains there until the end of fishing. Thanks to the drilled holes, the bait is slowly washed out of the trough, which allows you to keep the fish at the fishing point.
Any spinning player wants to have a good, catchy wobbler, but not everyone can afford to buy one. As a rule, wobblers are expensive lures, especially if they are related to well-known manufacturers.
In this regard, some anglers have mastered, and very successfully, the manufacture of wobblers at home. This is a very interesting and exciting process that does not require special equipment and tools.
How to make a wobbler
- To begin with, you should decide on the shape and color of the future bait. To do this, you will have to do arts and draw a sketch of the future wobbler on paper. Regardless of the material of manufacture, the wobbler is made of 2 symmetrical parts. A reinforcing wire must pass inside them.
- Foam plastic can also serve as a material for manufacturing, but it is not as strong as wood or plastic. Therefore, taking the right material, they are engaged in the manufacture of blanks.
- Fasteners for rings and tee hooks are prepared from thin stainless steel. The mounts are mounted in specially cut places located on the body of 2 halves of the bait. the two halves are connected with glue. After the glue has dried, a cut is formed for the front blade, after which it is rigidly attached using the same glue.
- After that, the wobbler should be adjusted based on personal preference.
- All depressions or voids left on the bait are sealed with epoxy, after which the bait is sanded and prepared for painting. Painting is also carried out depending on the presence of your own imagination.
It is not at all difficult to make a spinning spoon yourself, if you have at least some skills in working with tools and materials. To make it you will need:
- regular paper clip;
- tee (hook);
- metal plate, 0.5-1 mm thick;
- not a large bead;
- a piece of sheet lead;
- tools: file, pliers, files, scissors.
First, on a piece of cardboard, you need to draw the shape of a petal for the future bait, after which the drawing is transferred to the metal. Scissors are taken and a petal is carefully cut out of a piece of metal. After that, the cut out petal is processed with a file so that there are no burrs. Two holes are drilled along the edges of the petal (one from each edge) and processed with file files. Places where holes are drilled need to be bent 90 degrees in relation to the petal. Then you need to take the wire and align, and at one of its ends you need to form a loop and fix the tee.
After that, a petal and a bead are put on the same wire, after which, at the end of the wire, a loop is again formed to attach the fishing line. Moreover, the loop must be made so that it does not interfere with the free rotation of the petal.
The lure requires adjustment by additional loading. The lead weight is placed between the tee and the petal. Again, you need to calculate everything correctly so that the weight does not interfere with the rotation of the petal. The last step is painting the petal.
Arriving on a fishing trip you have to spend a lot of time catching live bait. The fact is that in the summer it is very difficult to store live bait: it quickly dies in any container, and live bait should always be vigorous. A device made of 2 plastic bottles will help solve this problem:
- A 2-liter plastic bottle is taken, the neck of which is cut to half.
- After that, from the same side, the neck is cut off in the widest part.
- As a result, you get a detail that looks like a watering can.
- In this bottle, the bottom is cut off.
- The second bottle is taken and the bottom is cut off, at a distance of 5-7 cm from the greatest thickness.
- Finally, the structure is put together. The cut-off "watering can" is inserted back, but only vice versa, with the thinnest section inside, after which the structure is firmly connected with the help of artificial threads. Another bottle is taken and the cut end is put on the first bottle with a neck.
- A weight and a rope are attached to the trap.
After that, you can place a bait in the trap and lower the trap to the bottom of the reservoir. A fish that falls into a trap will no longer be able to get out of it. If you need live bait, you just need to pull the trap out of the water. In order for the fry to always be fresh and lively, the trap must be kept in the water, moreover, for an indefinite time.
In winter, the most common tool for catching a predator (pike) is a girdle. It turns out that it can be done quickly and easily:
- The basis for its manufacture is a PVC sewer pipe, 32 mm thick. The pipe must be cut into pieces of 10-15 cm in size.
- It is better to file all irregularities in the places of the cuts with a file.
- Make 3 holes in the pipe. Two holes are made on one side, one against the other, to be mounted on a tripod, and one hole is made on the other side for the line stopper. Its diameter is 1 mm.
- In the shape of the letter P, a line stopper is formed and passed through a small hole. The stopper should not restrict the free movement of the line.
- A ring is formed from a fishing line with a thickness of 0.4-0.5 mm, which is passed through two holes located opposite each other. This ring will serve as a kind of mount. The zherlitsa is attached to a metal rod securely driven into the ice.
- About 10 meters of fishing line is wound around the pipe section.
- A corresponding weight and a hook, such as a tee, are attached to the end of the line.
The zherlitsa is ready for use at the end of the pipe; red tape should be fixed at the point of suspension (attachment), which can serve as an indicator of a bite.
Making bait for crucian carp
Crucian carp, the average one that most anglers catch, prefers semolina bait prepared according to a special recipe.
Recipe for making a catchy bait for crucian carp:
- Water is poured into the dishes, a couple of drops of flavoring are added, and brought to a boil.
- Semolina is poured into boiling water with constant stirring. The result should be a homogeneous thick mass.
- The fire is turned off to cool and steam the porridge.
- Upon reaching room temperature, the porridge is kneaded with your hands to obtain even greater density.
- After that, the porridge is wrapped in several layers of gauze.
- It is not recommended to wrap porridge in polyethylene.
Balls are well molded from the finished porridge, after which they are put on a hook.
The recipe for making porridge bait in a cold way:
- Water from the reservoir is drawn into a suitable dish and a little flavor is added.
- After that, semolina is added to the dishes with active stirring.
- As a result of active stirring, a homogeneous mass should be obtained. The readiness of the bait is checked as follows: if you lift the spoon with porridge up and turn it over, then the porridge should remain in the spoon.
- Stirring is stopped and the porridge is left to swell for 10 minutes.
- In conclusion, you need to take a syringe and fill it with porridge.
The porridge from the syringe is squeezed onto the hook in a spiral so that the sting of the hook is closed last.
