Baubles "cicada" with his own hands

Lures such as "Cicada" (or Bleydbeyt) sold in stores for over a decade. However, our fishermen underestimate her. And for good reason. Indeed, in some American states have banned it, even from the high catch. Those Rybalovo who tried it possible, became known as trolling "cicada" "killer for perch." But as long as it is not popular in our country.

The lure of "cicada" - what is it?

Baubles "cicada" catchy looks. I like it on Rathlin Island. And not only in appearance, but also the nature of the game. The significant difference is the absence of rattles inside and possibility of long casting, which allows you to cover a large area while fishing.

For bait fishing line can be attached in several places. When the wiring "cicada" nose moves down, so the vibration power and angle dependent on the point of connection. It is necessary to attach the line to the front edge, if you use the technique fast wiring, the middle - if the medium, and to the rear - if slow, respectively. Ogruzhaetsya bait below the front part.

Production of spinners "cicada"

Make trolling "cicada" in the power of the home. At the same time keep costs to a minimum. It is possible to use the minimum amount of materials and tools at home. Is it just have to spend on plaster (if that is not found on the farm) or ask neighbors to make repairs. In any case, this material is inexpensive and easily available.

Tools

Made Baubles "cicada" with their own hands with the help of the following tools:

• chisel;
• a knife;
• hacksaw;
• drill;
• a small diameter drill bit;
• sandpaper;
• paste GOI;
• container for manufacturing a mold of plaster;
• file;
• marker;
• Paper;
• utensils for mixing plaster.

better to use a grinder than a hacksaw To speed up the process. If the economy did not find the drill, the sharpened dowel or twig can make holes for fastener and hook. Paste GOI use glossing product. For the manufacture of the gypsum may be any form of a cardboard box, thin board, plywood. The material from which it is made, does not affect the quality of the bait. It is better to choose the capacity of soft plastic for mixing plaster. This will simplify and speed up the process of removing debris from it.

Materials

As for the material, for the petals "cicada" need sheet metal. Ideal copper or brass. They are more amenable to treatment. The sheet thickness must be 0.4 to 0.8 mm. Thicker petal will play when the wiring is bad, and thin can not withstand the load. Used and galvanized sheet, which eventually fades, what is good for catching fish in the clear water. Very bright petals in this case, can scare away the fish. It is important in the manufacturing process, "cicada" not to damage the galvanizing. If this happens, you need very good polish Petal, then it is virtually porzhaveet using.

Lead will need for the manufacture of goods for future bait. It is better to choose soft, with antimony in the composition. With it will be easier to work with. Made of a material of the cable sheath. We can take the lead from the battery. It is important to observe elementary safety during operation. You will also need any clay. From him a replica of "cicada" will be made.

As for plaster, it will be used for the manufacture of molds for the future tide bait. You can use dry mixes, which are based contain gypsum. They are durable, while dry for much longer. Well dried form is enough to cast a few dozen "cicadas".

The manufacturing process of

Baubles "cicada" is made up of petals. Drawing them is transferred onto the metal sheet. Cut. Handle the edges with a file. This tab is used to make other. Then taken clay and molded from his ball, the middle of which is necessary to stick the tab and give form. This is done with a knife and a chisel. We are making an exact copy of "cicada".

Now you need to make the shape. To do this, fill a box of prepared diluted gypsum. You need to fill exactly half. Put inside the container in advance marks a marker or pencil. Gypsum is diluted to a consistency of thick cream. "Cicada" copy lubricated with oil (vegetable will do), and the mixture is pressed into the half. Equipping form guides facilitate the alignment. For this convexity may be used from the same material as beads or pins made of metal.

Allowed to dry for a few hours, if gypsum is used, if the dry mixture, the drying time will be considerably longer. Then the surface of the mold and "cicada" again smeared with oil and poured the other half. Now it is necessary to dry the product completely. It takes a few days. If the form has become a light, white, upon impact is ringing - this means that it is completely dry.

Then, on the metal paint petals, cut several pieces clamped in a vise and drill holes in them for the goods, grind, grind sandpaper (for this transition from coarse to fine-grained paper), to polish shine. You can spend hacksaw. This is necessary to secure the cargo to the petal. Drill some holes for the rifle (1-3 pcs.), Which makes it easy to change the angle and frequency of the oscillations during the drive. Next, after drying it forms a knife and do sever sprue channel and to the air out. He needed to completely fill the mold with lead. When everything is ready, we proceed to the casting. Before starting the work it is desirable to heat the shape. Petal paste and pour the lead. Better done it on the street. You have to be extremely careful. A couple of minutes, and the "Cicada" is ready. We take out. You can proceed to the next one.

Prepare all the petals, and then 20 baits easily cast in half an hour. After processing the knife spoon "cicada" is ready for use. At the request of polish paste GOI. Fit double stings up. All. Now, the product was finally ready. This bait is practically engaged. The result is a beautiful baubles "cicada" (photo shown). Work the bait can be checked in the bathroom. Now on the pond!
