DIY winter lures for perch. Making winter spinners with your own hands from available materials. A catchy homemade spinner for perch in winter.

With the arrival of winter, many fishermen do not abandon this interesting activity. They put summer gear aside and arm themselves with winter fishing rods, since they differ significantly from each other. Winter fishing is also characterized by the fact that completely different baits are used here, including artificial ones. Fishing in winter involves the use of winter spinners, which are quite catchy. Moreover, you can either buy them in a store or market, or make them yourself. For most fishermen, this process is no less interesting than the process of fishing itself. Therefore, they carefully prepare for the winter season, making their own various elements of winter equipment, including spinners.

The use of spinners for catching perch, compared to traditional baits such as bloodworms or worms, allows you to catch larger perches, reaching them at great depths. As a rule, large perch always stay in deep water areas, compared to smaller individuals that prefer to feed closer to the shore.

Since the spoon has some weight, it quickly sinks to depth and resists the current, which can lure large perch. In addition, the spinner is noticeable from a great distance, as it can be up to 10 cm in size.

Main characteristics of a spinner for perch

The main task of the spinner is to lure a predator from a considerable distance. If its game does not seduce the perch, then we can assume that the spinner was unsuccessful and its place is in the garage, and not on fishing. For the spinner to work, it must be given the desired shape, weight and size. The larger the spoon, the larger the specimen can be caught. But this does not mean at all that there are no limits to the size of the spinner. As a rule, small perch are caught with spoons up to 50 mm in size, and larger specimens are caught with bait up to 100 mm in size.

When choosing a lure for perch, you should not forget about small details that additionally lure the predator. These can be images of fish eyes, imitation of blood stains, drawings of scales or fins.

When going fishing, you should not forget about groundbait and bait. Moreover, the size of the spoon may also depend on the nature of the chosen bait. When using large bait, the number of hooks increases.

Catchy winter lures for perch: description and drawings

Making spinners for winter fishing does not require a lot of money and time. Some craftsmen make such baits within one hour, and the tools for this can be found in any fisherman’s barn or garage.

It is possible to find such raw material for making bait at home or in the trash. A can for canned food is made of thin metal, therefore, a spinner made from this material is more suitable for catching perch in stagnant bodies of water where there is no current.

During manufacture, you will need the following materials and tools:

• Tin.
• Metal scissors.
• Awl.
• Sandpaper.
• Number 7 hook or tee.
• Two winding rings.

Manufacturing technology:

• Preparatory work boils down to preparing a metal plate. To do this, take metal scissors and cut an even sheet of thin metal from a tin can.
• After this, everything unnecessary is removed from the plate: paint, paper, etc.
• The shape of the future bait is drawn on a sheet of metal, about 5-7 cm in size.
• Using metal scissors, according to the drawing, the shape of the future spinner is cut out.
• Use sandpaper to remove all burrs.
• Using an awl, two holes are made for the winding rings.
• The next stage is polishing the spoon.
• At the next stage, the petal is given the desired shape. To do this, you can use a regular spoon. To bend the spoon, you need to take a soft object and press on the petal until it takes the appropriate shape.
• After this, winding rings and hooks are attached to the spoon.
• Finally, appropriate designs are made on the body of the spinner using nail polish.
• After the varnish has dried, the spoon can be used. Naturally, it is unlikely that you will be able to catch a heavy perch using such a spoon, but it is quite possible to secure intense bites from small perches.

Small spoon made from tweezers

A lure such as a jig is made from a monolithic piece of metal such as silver, copper or brass. If the spinner is not large in size, then the body of the spinner can be made from ordinary tweezers.

For manufacturing you will need the following materials and tools:

• Tweezers.
• File.
• Electric drill.
• The drill is not large in diameter.
• Sandpaper.
• A pair of winding rings.
• Single hooks or tees.

Sequence of manufacturing operations:

• The outline of the future bait is drawn on the tweezers.
• The body of the jig is cut along the contour using a hacksaw.
• It is advisable to file sharp edges.
• At both ends of the artificial bait you need to drill holes for the winding rings.
• After this, the almost finished spoon is polished.
• Finally, winding rings and hooks are attached to the body of the bait.

A bait such as a jig can be made without much effort from the handle of an ordinary spoon. The manufacturing technique is the same as in the previous case; it is enough to cut the workpiece of the required length from the handle. The main task is to polish the workpiece properly so that it is visible in the water from afar. In addition, any painted elements, such as eyes or fins, will not interfere with the body of the bait, which will be an additional attractive factor.

The Acme company produces so-called “three-edges”, which are considered good spoons for winter fishing. At the same time, it can be easily repeated with a minimum of effort.

To make the body of such a bait, it is enough to take a piece of aluminum cable, up to 1 cm wide and up to 6 cm long.

Technological stages of production:

• The body of the bait is cut so that it is shaped like a trapezoid.
• Thin holes are drilled at both ends of the bait's body.
• Winding rings and hooks are put into these holes.
• Such a bait weighs 5-7 grams and is capable of catching large perch in deep areas of the reservoir.

"Kastmater" is produced by the "Acme" company and is considered a fairly catchy spoon. But you don’t have to buy it, as you can easily make it yourself.

To do this you need to have:

• A piece of copper tube with a diameter of up to 10 mm.
• Electric drill.
• Thin drills.
• A hacksaw for metal.
• Blowtorch.
• Sandpaper.
• Protractor.
• Files.
• Clockwork rings.
• Tee (hook).

Manufacturing technique:

• The copper tube is marked so that on one side there is a slope of 17 degrees.
• On the second side there is an angle of 23 degrees.
• Using a hacksaw for metal, the body of the spoon is cut according to the marked angles.
• The result should be a shape that resembles an elongated puck.
• The inside of the spinner should be filled with solder.
• Holes for winding rings are drilled on one and the other side of the spinner.
• The body of the spinner must be thoroughly sanded using sandpaper.
• Attach winding rings to the bait and install a tee.
• As practice shows, a homemade spoon is no less catchy than the branded “Kastmaster”. In addition, the spinner can be colored at your discretion, which makes it especially attractive. As a result, a good mood from a good bait game.

This, simple at first glance, spoon breaks all records for catchability. In this regard, every lover of winter perch fishing has it. This spoon is characterized by an interesting game in the water column, which makes it quite catchy and makes fishing exciting. In addition, artificial bait has a long service life.

The Malek spinner is easy to manufacture and does not require special skills or special materials. The main material for its manufacture is corrugated plumbing pipe. The spinner is quite effective in winter, despite the simplicity of its design.

How to make a spinner from a corrugated pipe:

• To do this, you need to take a section of such a pipe and draw the contours of the future spinner on it. The approximate dimensions of the spoon are as follows: length – 5 cm, width 3 mm on one side, and width 8 mm on the other side.
• The next stage is the body of the bait is cut out along the drawn lines.
• Holes are drilled on both sides of the workpiece (one at a time).
• The body of the spoon is polished and very carefully.
• The Malek spinner can be equipped with both a single hook and a tee.
• Artificial threads should be attached to the hook (tee) so that they can disguise the hook.

Such a spinner is characterized by a very active game, which lures a predator. Since the body of the bait has an uneven surface, when it moves it emits peculiar acoustic waves. As a rule, the perch cannot resist this spoon and immediately attacks it.

There is another spinner that actively catches perch - this is the Maropedka spinner. There is a huge variety of artificial baits for fishing from ice on the market or in specialized stores. Unfortunately, they cost money, which not every fisherman can afford, especially since any lure can actually be made at home.

As a rule, those fishermen who like the manufacturing process make their own spinners. If you approach this responsibly, you will end up with copies that are no worse than factory ones, or even better. In addition, fishing with a hand-made lure is much more interesting and exciting.

COLLAPSE

There are a huge number of spinners for winter perch fishing. They differ from each other in shape, color and nature of the game. Among this variety there are both homemade and purchased baits. Not so long ago, homemade products were extremely popular, but with the expansion of the range of fishing stores, people began to forget about them, but in vain. In this article we will talk about some homemade spoons and how to make them yourself.

First about the benefits

Against the backdrop of a significant increase in prices, the relevance of homemade goods increases, since the costs of their production cannot even be compared with the cost of branded goods. Moreover, in most cases you will only need to buy hooks, and all other elements are made from available materials. Such low cost of gear opens up new opportunities for perch fishing enthusiasts. Now you can fish in those strong places that you previously bypassed, so as not to ruin your family budget due to numerous breaks of branded spinners.

Savings are not the only advantage. Making your own gear opens up a huge space for experimentation. For many anglers, this brings no less pleasure than the fishing process itself. Sometimes even a slight change in the design of a spoon can greatly affect its performance and effectiveness in catching perch. Through trial and error, the best option for specific conditions is found. Each subsequent foray into a pond for a fisherman becomes not only a pleasant pastime, but also an occasion to test new homemade products.

A distinctive feature of this spoon is its versatility. She changes her game depending on the angler’s manipulations. The torpedo can sink vertically, twist, or deviate greatly from the vertical axis. Thanks to these performance characteristics, it is very popular among both athletes and winter fishing enthusiasts.

Spinner "Torpedka"

The first stage of making a torpedo is creating a blank. It is necessary to cut out the outline of the future spinner from thin stainless metal. For these purposes, it is better to use aluminum cans.

The resulting workpiece is bent in the center so that a symmetrical structure is obtained, and its edges are processed with a small file or sandpaper.

To correctly bend the workpiece in the longitudinal direction, it is best to use a template in the form of an ordinary tablespoon. It is enough to attach the future spoon to the tableware and create the force necessary for deformation.

Two swivels connected to each other with strong wire or guitar string are used as fastening elements. The length of the wire is selected so that the swivel bodies are located at the edges of the workpiece. Next, this entire fastening structure is soldered to an aluminum plate and filled with solder.

The final stage is cleaning the inside. This work is carried out in stages - removing small layers of solder alternates with testing the bait in a container of water. The play of the spinner depends on the amount of solder. The required result is selected experimentally.

To add shine to the spinners, GOI paste is used. It is also necessary to use winding rings so that when fishing for fish, the line is not cut on the sharp ends of the metal.

For shallow water

The game of this homemade perch is somewhat reminiscent of the game of a classic spinning spoon. When swinging, it rises almost vertically, oscillating along its longitudinal axis. The bait has proven itself very well when catching perch at depths of up to two meters.

To make it yourself, you need to cut a plate from a sheet of metal according to a template. Using steel rods and balls from bearings, the plate is given the desired shape, which is then filled with solder. After grinding and polishing, holes are drilled on the edges of the bait. Two rings are wound into them - a hook is attached to one, and a fishing line is tied to the second.

For cloudy water

Thanks to the shiny chrome-plated surface, perch can see this bait from a great distance, which makes it possible to use it for fishing in muddy water, at depth or in cloudy weather.

The material used is a piece of chrome pipe, which is cut into two plates. There is no need to bend the plates to the end, since they should have a slight bend. The material is given a rounded fish shape. A hook of a suitable size is soldered to the wide end, and a hole for the fishing line is drilled in the narrow end.

"Carnation"

When jerking, the carnation floats up vertically, and during a pause, it lies on its back and moves slightly to the side. It has proven itself well when fishing in deep water and strong currents.

To make a nail, you need to cut two diamond-shaped plates of different sizes from a sheet of copper with truncated vertices lying on the larger axis.

A larger rhombus bends at an obtuse angle along its smaller axis. A loop of wire is soldered to the wider part of the smaller diamond, which will serve to attach the hook. The diamonds are soldered along the truncated vertices, and the space between them is filled with solder. A hole for the fastening ring is drilled in the narrower side of the resulting structure.

"Karasik"

This homemade bait is distinguished by its sailing action. After a jerk, it slowly, swaying from one side to the other, sinks to the bottom. There have been cases when it was the crucian carp that showed the best results for shallow-water perch.

To make a crucian carp with your own hands, you need to cut a diamond from a sheet of copper and bend it along the minor axis. A triangular metal plate and hook are soldered to the lower half, and a hole for the mounting ring is drilled in the upper half.

"Balda" This bait is also called “eggs”. Balda does not have any spectacular game, but the perch loves it very much.

He is attracted not by the play of the bait, but by the dregs that it raises as it falls.

To make eggs, two hooks and a cylindrical weight in which a hole is drilled will be enough. All these elements are put on a thick fishing line in the hook-weight-hook sequence so that the hook tips are turned away from the sinker. Additionally, you can use various decorative elements (beads, thread).

In terms of efficiency, homemade spoons are in no way inferior to their factory counterparts, and in some cases even surpass them. Any angler can make himself a sufficient number of catchable baits without spending a lot of money. Winter lures for perch differ from baits for other types of fish only in size. The choice of spinner is determined by the depth of the reservoir and the current.

For example, in January, perch, like trophy humpback salmon, is caught using a spinner with a narrow body and noticeable weight, because the process takes place at great depths.

When and how to catch perch using lures in winter

You can start trolling as early as a week after the river freezes, but the most successful period for catching a predator is considered to be the end of winter, when the fish need to gain strength after the cold weather.

1. At the beginning of winter, when the ice is not yet thick enough, “minke whales” live close to the shore. The peculiarity of this period of time is that, despite the rather greedy bite, you still have to look for fish, at least if your goal is large prey.
2. In the middle of winter. Perch can be found throughout the entire area of ​​the reservoir; predators are divided into schools of no more than seven individuals. Using the reconnaissance method, places with the most intense bite are found, and subsequently the fisherman will simply need to find these points on the reservoir again.
3. In February. The accuracy of determining the position of a perch reaches one and a half meters. At this time, the ice is already quite thick, and the angler will have to drill for sure.

An important element of almost any fishing is bait; its main purpose is to keep the school near the hole. Ideally, bait is carried out a day or two before the fishing itself, in this case the chance of success of the event increases significantly. For perch, store-bought food bloodworms are best suited. If it is possible to grow live bait in an aquarium, then this option is no less useful: live bloodworms will attract fish for a long time by burying themselves in the ground.

How to make a spinner with your own hands?

Due to the fact that there is an abundance of all kinds of fakes on the market, and prices for branded sporting goods are quite high, some fishermen prefer to make spoons from scrap materials. Despite the fact that the drawings of spinners for different types of fish may be the same, craftsmen make qualitative changes to the adjustment of the plate, which ensures its guaranteed reliability.

A homemade spoon, even of low quality, is a good chance for beginners to try themselves in this business by first catching small perches.

Algorithm of actions

Technology for making a spinner for winter fishing from a tin can:

1. Cut a straight sheet of metal using special scissors. After which the paper, paint and other unnecessary elements are removed.
2. On the sheet, draw and cut out the shape of the future spinner with scissors.
3. Remove burrs using sandpaper. Use an awl to make two holes for the winding rings. Thoroughly polish the lure.
4. Give the bait the desired shape using a spoon or other handy means.
5. Attach winding rings and hooks to the spoon. Apply appropriate designs with nail polish.

The creation of a catchy winter lure for perch is clearly demonstrated in the video from the Fishing channel with Romario Agro.

Dimensions of perch lures

The size of the spoon directly depends on the size of the prey. If the fisherman is interested in large perch, then spoons from four to seven centimeters are used. This size allows the weighty predator to attack without obstacles in the form of a small school. If the priority is a small fish, then a bait of two to three centimeters in size is used. The optimal length is considered to be a spinner length of three to five centimeters.

Main types of perch spinners

Anyone who wants to test their strength in trolling must know the types of bait action depending on its variety. The behavior of the bait can be divided into four characters.

Gvozdik

This type of spinner got its name because of its vertical fall and is well suited for catching active perch. The bait is lowered to the bottom of a reservoir up to two meters deep, then a smooth rise of 15-30 centimeters is carried out and dumped.

Gliding lures for perch

Gliding or floating spoons are distinguished by their oscillation. Such baits fall in a horizontal position and go a decent distance from the hole. Externally, it is distinguished by concavities and convexities on the body, as well as noticeable curvature. The weight of such a spoon is less than a nail, and the permissible depth for effective fishing is from five to six meters. The bait slowly rises to a level of up to sixty centimeters and drops sharply.

Loose spoons

In the manufacture of such baits, technologies are used to shift the center of gravity to the middle of the product and symmetry of the sides with an acute angle in the center of the entire length. The fall also differs from other types; it occurs slowly in a horizontal position at the bottom, while the spoon creates small oscillatory movements. The bait slowly rises to any height and is dropped abruptly; in this case, throwing should be avoided.

Spinner "Step"

Another type of bait for winter trolling of perch. Externally it is a narrow strip with a concave shape. The game is played with a short swing and a sharp release of the spoon.

A bait based on two jig heads, designed for catching schooling perch. It is a kind of rocker, with two jig heads attached to each of them. The game of two baits at once attracts perch quite strongly. It is quite possible that with active biting such gear will catch two predators at once.

The most important thing in such a bait is the hooks; you don’t need to spare money on them. They should be small, thin and very sharp.

The bait has the shape of an arc, and therefore the likelihood of getting caught on underwater obstacles is extremely low. Depending on the weight of the gear, you can fish at different depths, including the bottom. Any wiring can be used, it can be either a sub-game or a uniform stroke. In addition to this, you can also use jig wiring, but you should be careful, as the hooks will fall to the bottom and you can get caught on something.

Tools and materials
- eared sinker;
- small and inexpensive twisters;
- a piece of wire;
- hooks of the required size;
- pliers.

Bait making process

Stage 1. Assembling the base

You need to take a piece of wire, it should not be too soft and at the same time should be thin. The size of the gear can be any, here each fisherman chooses at his own discretion. The wire needs to be folded in half, this is done to determine the middle of the future tackle. A loop is made in the center and an eared sinker is inserted into it. You can also install a winding ring here, this will allow you to easily change the weights.

After this, the loop needs to be twisted several times to fix the sinker on the wire so that it does not move.

Stage 2. Installing hooks
The wire must be passed through the eye of the hook to form a tip 15-20 mm long. After this, you need to evenly wrap the wire around the hook. The wire should lie flat, the remaining sharp end should be finally bent using pliers. This way, two hooks are installed.

The ideal option would be when the hooks are symmetrical relative to each other. The author also recommends installing hooks so that their tips do not stick out in different directions. Hooks and wire should lie in the same plane.

Stage 3. Installation of twisters
Immediately after the jig heads are installed, you can begin the process of testing the gear. You can pass the bait along the top of the water and see how it behaves.

The disadvantage of such gear is that during active biting or fishing in hard-to-reach places, you will need to straighten the wire from time to time and bring the gear back to its original form. But it’s all worth it, because it gives excellent fishing results. In addition, such tackle is cheap and easy to assemble. You can conduct various experiments with twisters and long wire, thereby inventing more and more catchy gear.

Artificial baits of different colors are great for catching perch, if, of course, you know its behavior and the terrain. Any beginner can learn quite successfully when performing the fishing technique.

Perch: description and behavioral characteristics

- a river fish with red fins and a striped body. The fins are equipped with sharp spines and if you handle the fish improperly, you can get pricked, but this is not contagious, because the spines of the perch are not at all poisonous. Perch does not grow large in size; depending on the diversity of plankton in reservoirs, its weight can reach only up to 3 kg.

The predator is sensitive to changes (in particular, its swim bladder), so the bite stops at low or high pressure until the perch adapts to sudden changes. Usually the perch bites during the daytime, but dozes off at night, preferring to stay in cover.

Hunting for perch is preferable at dawn in the upper layers of water, when perch gather in schools and begin to look for food. Can migrate and swim to distant places.

There are two types of perch: small-growing ones with a weight of no more than 30 g, going mainly for spawning and fast-growing, dark-colored large individuals weighing up to 3 kg, preferring to live in open areas of ponds and reservoirs. Although the weight directly depends on the habitat and feeding conditions of the fish.

Habitats

It prefers to be found in river beds, stagnant bodies of water with densely populated algae, on riverbed edges with trees leaning towards the water. It is in these places that worthy specimens are found, also in deep parts of the reservoir, where they prefer to flock together and move long distances in a school, chasing small things.

Fish reproduction mainly occurs in European waters. In Russia there are a lot of perch in the Lena River; quite large specimens are found in the reeds near the sandy rocky bottom, in places with islands and flowing currents. You can often catch perch in places with sunken trees, where the predator comes out to feed and feast on small minnows. When choosing a place, it’s a good idea to fish near rifts with a pebble and rocky bottom, where perch feed on plankton.

Perch is a schooling fish and where there is no plankton, the little ones feed on whatever they find. Large individuals are more picky about food and can live alone, feeding on fry, but they are always a good catch for fishermen.

Biting calendar by fishing season

The bite is successful in the spring when the fish, hungry after winter, goes to feed and on warm days begins to feed heavily both on the current and in places with standing water.

Fishing successful practically throughout the summer and, knowing the area, it is possible to catch large specimens.

The bite doesn't stop in September when the perch begins to go into the depths and hide in the thickets.

The largest individuals can be caught in October with light baits, the main thing is that the weather is warm. Towards the end of October, the time comes to change baits to heavier ones, and prefer to catch fish in deeper places.

In the beginning of November the perch begins to gather in schools and remains so until spring. But even at this time, fishing is rushed when fish are crowded. In the chosen place you can fish with, vibrotails and twisters, when fishing for pike is also successful. If the days are warm in November, then it is quite possible to catch stripers. By the end of the month, the perch sometimes bites, sometimes doesn’t bite, and the bite is inconsistent. Basically, large specimens are encountered periodically. During moments of active splashes on the water, you can catch quite significant trophies on a jig, organizing raids at great depths, where perches prefer to be at this time.

Advantages of using spinners for perch

Spinner fishing is successful all year round. It is best to fish in winter, using them as bait to catch large individuals, playing with the bait, copying the movements of the predator. Perch reacts quite well to bright lures and bites successfully.

Today there are many spinners on sale with different sizes and characteristics.

When choosing, it is necessary to take into account fishing conditions, as well as knowledge of the area.

Spoons, unlike natural baits, can be used repeatedly. However, they will not be useful when used in muddy waters, as they will simply become unattractive for the fish to play with.

The fish are mostly found where weeds and snags are common when using other baits. Spoons do not cling and are successful when catching perch in such places.

Criteria for choosing a spinner

When choosing artificial baits, you should pay attention to the shape, size, color and hooks. So:

• Size the most suitable one is No. 13. The smallest spoons are difficult to cast, but large ones can scare the fish, so the size should be taken into account. The best is the golden mean.
• Form oval is preferable for perches with the petal deflected by 60°.
• Color, the perch has a good reaction to red. A predator will bite well on a bait with such a pigment, especially in clear weather, when you need to use fairly bright baits with smooth petals to sparkle in the water to attract perches.
• Hook- an integral part of the equipment. It must be of high quality with a sharp sting and a ring for attaching to the fishing line, also soldered evenly in the center of the bait. The tip should be slightly concave inward. It is preferable to catch perch using spinners so that the bait vibrates well, flickers and plays in the water. Rotators are suitable for fishing both in still water and in large currents.

Techniques and tactics of catching perch with a spoon

• raise the bait to a height of up to 2 m;
• lower slowly;
• count to 5 seconds;
• after the bait reaches the bottom, immediately raise and lower the spoon again;
• play with the bait, pausing for up to 5 seconds;
• after which you can begin the raid and cross the middle layers of water.

Perch is caught well with live bait, so it is necessary to put such bait on the hook so that the predator quickly pecks at it. When the fish is starving, the color of the spoon does not play a significant role. If the water is cloudy, then color and size are still worth taking into account.
