Features of the Texas equipment. Fishing tackle pear, or bullet Features of the Carolina equipment

Greetings to all anglers - do-it-yourselfers. The opening of the open water fishing season is approaching, those who did not have time to prepare for it during the long winter, it's time to start. Today we will make a spinner that is not difficult to manufacture, called a bullet or a pear. Rumor has it that this bait is very catchy, well, let's check it out.

Required tools and fixtures.

1. Angle grinder.
2. Drill on the stand.
3. Industrial hair dryer.
4. Drill 2 mm.
5. Vise.
6. Pliers.
7. Scissors.
8. Sharpening machine.
9. Felt circle.
10. Sandpaper.
11. Pasta GOI.

Required materials.

1. Brass stem from the valve.
2. Fitting from the car camera.
3. Copper tube with a diameter of 7 - 8mm.
4. Sheet lead.
5. Sheet asbestos.
6. Red woolen threads.
7. Fishing tees.
8. Clockwork rings.

For the manufacture of these spinners, we need a brass or copper bar with a diameter of 7-8mm. A tube of the same diameter will also work.

If there is no bar or tube, you can use improvised materials, for example, a brass stem from a plumbing valve or a fitting from a car camera.

To begin with, we clean the parts with sandpaper and polish on a felt wheel using GOI paste. It's best to do it right away, as polishing fine details is much more difficult.

We clamp the workpiece in a vice and make three cuts with a grinder, 90, 30-35 and 90 degrees.

We get two blanks for spinners, one a little less, the second more.

We clean the burrs, polish the cuts and drill holes for the winding rings.

There is a little more work with the pipe, since it must be filled with lead.

After the fitting from the chamber was cut, it turned out that it was made of a very thick-walled tube.

It was decided to leave this tube as it is, and fill the thin-walled copper tube with lead.

We cut off about 5-7 cm from the copper tube.

We clog one end with wet asbestos.

Asbestos must be dried well with an industrial hair dryer.

Cut the sheet lead into small pieces and fill the tube tightly.

We heat the tube with a hairdryer, when melting, lead should be added little by little from time to time. To avoid heat loss, the vise tube can be insulated with the same asbestos.

We also cut off the blanks, clean the burrs, polish the cuts and drill holes for the winding rings.

Now you need to prepare the tees. We take a red woolen thread and cut off two pieces of 5 cm from it.
We thread the segments into the eye of the tee and tie with a regular thread. We fluff the tails of woolen threads with a needle.

We attach the tees to the spinners with the help of clockwork rings.
It turned out six spinners, of different sizes and weights. From a brass bar, 9g and 7.5g, from a brass tube 6.5g and 4g, a copper tube filled with lead 8.5g and 7g.

• I call it a "bullet" because its shape resembles a bullet. It is an oval-shaped piece of lead, painted in bright colors, with two hooks on the sides. The "bullet" is made very simply. To make it, you will need: some lead, dishes in which it can be melted, thick foil, two hooks, bright nail polish, multi-colored cambrics, a hammer, side cutters and a file.

• Fishing video for pike, catfish, carp, bream, pike perch, carp, crucian carp, spinning and lure, bait and other gear. Texas equipment installation. The simple installation of Texas equipment and its non-hooking properties has become one of the leading ones for catching pike, pikeperch, perch, ide, chub in places abounding with snags and algae. Components of the rig: bullet weight plus offset hook with silicone bait.

In this video tutorial, we will look at a unique fish tackle called a pear, sometimes called corn, or a bullet. They are mainly made of brass, lead, but any metal can be used. For example, you can take a copper tube, pour lead into it and give it the desired shape. Used for spinning perch, pike perch, silver carp, carp.

On some days it is better to catch fish on a yellow brass rig, on other days on a red copper rig, sometimes it bites more actively on a white iron rig.
How to make a pear?

Consider an example when an iron black rod is used as a blank. It is clamped in a vice, marking is performed - 2 oblique lines. With the help of a grinder or a hacksaw for metal, the rod is sawn according to the marks.
Next, you need to round the corners, edges, grind the workpiece.

There are many options for modifying the pear. As a rule, a smooth transition is made on one side. Nothing complicated to do with this bait should not be. It is catchy with the simplest processing. However, for every fisherman there is plenty of room for creativity.

Ways to equip a pear with a tee.

The first way is the easiest. Lurex thread is wound around the finger, cut off. After that, part of the threads is directed in one direction, part in the other. We cut off a piece of thermophyte, this is a tube that shrinks when heated. We put it on a tee, warm it up with a lighter. The panicle is fixed.

You can simply wind the thread and fix it with varnish.

Which tee is better on a pear?

You don't need to grind with a tee. It should protrude beyond the edges of the pear so that the fish clings well. This is the main criterion for choosing its size.

Tuning threesome with fur.

The fur in the water will lively play, sway. Other suitable material can be used instead of fur. We take a threesome and insert it into vise. The plane must match the eyelet. We wind the thread. We cut out a piece of red fur, put it on and fix it with a thread. It remains to fix with superglue. If desired, you can make a light-accumulative point. Tuning will be even more interesting with two-tone fur.

The spinner bullet is a very catchy bait, which is used for winter and sheer fishing from a boat. Also, a bullet can be caught with a spinning rod, on a jig wiring. Spinner bullet is also called corn and pear.

Both small and large predators are caught on such a lure, moreover, some fishermen even catch carp, crucian carp and roach with a bullet. But the main catch is still perch, pike and pike perch.

The peculiarity of the bullet spinner is that it is very shiny and noticeable from afar, and the hook is attached to the top of the bait, so you can tap the bottom on winter fishing, with a minimal chance of hooking.

Catching a bullet on spinning

In open water, such a spinner can be well caught with jig wiring: pull, pause, pull. Or a variant when, after the spinner falls to the bottom, two jerks are made. The point is that the first pull is off the bottom, the second pull is done halfway before the fall.

After the spinner falls, we wait a few seconds for the dregs to settle, and the fish has time to come up and examine the bait. Most often, bites go on the falls themselves.

The jerks themselves are made by spinning, the tip of which should work at 50-90 cm.

It is very important that the “bullet” spinner shines well. We recommend polishing it with GOI paste.

The bullet can be tied in two ways:

• the tee hangs round.
• the tee hangs down on the plane;

Do-it-yourself bullet spinner

Making such a spinner is not easy, but exciting. The following tools and materials will come in handy:

1. Vise;
2. Bulgarian;
3. Drill (screwdriver);
4. Files;
5. Sandpaper;
6. Paste GOI;
7. clockwork ring;
8. Tee.

Lure making process

Take a piece of brass, clamp it in a vise and process it with a grinder or files from all sides so that the shape is appropriate. Then sand with sandpaper of different grits (200, 400, 1000) and polish with GOI paste.

Drill a hole with a drill for metal, remove burrs, insert a winding ring into the hole, and a hook into it. The line is also tied to the winding ring.

The Texas rig was invented in the 1950s. Initially, it consisted of the following elements:

• artificial worm;
• offset hook;
• bullet-shaped brass sinker;
• plexiglass ball.

Thanks to the sinker-pool and offset hook, it became possible to fish in places with underwater obstacles. And the contact of brass and plexiglass creates a ringing noise effect during wiring.

Note: Texan equipment is focused on fishing in snarled and heavily overgrown areas of the reservoir.

Currently, anglers use different silicone lures instead:

• twisters;
• lizards;
• crustaceans;
• arthropods, etc.

But the main problem when installing Texas equipment can be finding a load-bullet.

Many anglers understand that the name of the sinker (bullet) comes from the similarity in shape with the detail of military ammunition. The sinker has a through hole for fishing line, and also differs from the usual bullet by a recess in the back. The classic rig assumed the presence of a ball, which organically entered the recess of the sinker.

Many anglers now rig without a ball. In this case, it is better to use lead as a material for making a bullet. It has softness, which will retain the integrity of the equipment for a long time.

If the sinker is not soft enough, then it is better to install a rubber shock absorber or a small bead between the fishing line knot and the “bullet”.

A spinner who decides to use a Texas rig may encounter the unexpected problem of a lack of bullet weights in fishing shops. Then fishing ingenuity and invention will come to the rescue.

You can make a load-bullet yourself. This can be done in several ways. If there is a desire to perform a classic snap with a brass "bullet", then you will have to turn to a turner.

It is best to order several loads of different sizes and weights at once. Then on the pond it will be easy to choose the appropriate equipment option.

The second option for the manufacture of sinker-bullets involves the implementation of foundry work at home. To do this, you first need to make a mold, for example, from plaster.

To make a mold, you will need two empty matchboxes. Gypsum is mixed with water to a creamy state and poured into one of the boxes. Then the bullet is half-immersed in the gypsum mass. Now you can pour the gypsum mortar into the second box. The first part with the sinker is neatly combined with the second half. In this position, you need to let the plaster harden.

After drying, it remains to make holes for pouring lead and venting air. Before filling the bullet, it is necessary to lay a thin wire along the axis, after lubricating it with lard or fat. After the lead has cooled, the mold is dismantled, the wire is removed from the body of the sinker, the casting flash (burr) is removed with a file.

When fishing with large baits, you can use a conical weight from the Carolina equipment as a blank.

In order for the equipment to successfully overcome underwater obstacles, it is necessary to correctly select the hook for the bait.

So when using a worm, an offset hook with a long forearm and a slight bend is suitable.
For mounting larger silicone baits, an offset with a large bend is required.

Please note that baits must be used with a round shape. Then the "patency" of the equipment will be the highest. Deviations from this form threatens to increase the number of hooks.

In addition to artificial worms, various options for soft baits can be used, starting with twisters and ending with foam rubber fish.

The use of an offset hook and a bullet sinker in the rig allows the angler to explore the problem areas of the reservoir. But it is under the snags and in the thickets of algae that a lot of predators are hiding. Basically this is . And if the hook is skillfully hidden in the body of the bait, then the equipment can be safely called "non-hooking".

Successful fishing with a Texas rig will also depend on how the lure is laid. The wiring technique chosen by the spinning player can bring overwhelming success or a complete fiasco. The main animation options for the Texas rig would be:

• step wiring;
• uniform winding of the fishing line;
• wavy movement of the lure.

Whatever animation method the angler chooses, the pace should be very slow.

A common mistake made by beginner anglers is to use a heavy sinker. Approximately when fishing at a depth of up to 2 m, the weight of the “bullet” is selected within 3-7 g. When exploring the water area with a depth of 2-4 m, the weight of the sinker increases to 7-10 g. the weight of the load reaches 10-13 g.

Assembling Texas equipment is quite simple even for a beginner spinning player. The angler requires accuracy and consistency in performing simple actions.

1. A sinker-bullet is strung on the main fishing line with a pointed part to the rod.
2. A silicone shock absorber, a bead or a Plexiglas ball is mounted on the fishing line.
3. Now you need to tie the offset hook to the fishing line.
4. It remains to choose the right bait and put it on the hook correctly.

Recommended: if there is a high probability of pike biting, then it is necessary to protect the equipment from its sharp teeth. To do this, a metal leash is attached to the main line. The hook with the bait is mounted to the leash with a carabiner. The rest of the equipment is placed on the main fishing line.

Making a Texas rig is not that difficult. Yes, and the technique of fishing can be mastered by any angler. It is only important to choose the optimal ratio of sinker, hook and bait so that the bite of the predator does not take long.
