The most favorite lure for catching walleye in winter time of the year are spinners. The benefits of using them are great. First of all, this is a great attraction for a predator, including a very large one, the ability to catch even when strong current and at great depths.

In addition, lures are very reliable and easy to use, and specialized stores offer a huge number of options that meet all requirements and individual wishes. Correctly selected tackle will last for many years without losing a single property.

For zander in winter, it is better to use spinners that meet the following requirements:

1. By form should be elongated and narrow enough.
2. Optimal weight from 7 to 20 grams, if the fish is large, but it is allowed to use a spoon and up to 30 grams.
3. Perfect color- silver or gold, red is more applicable for depth.
4. All edges are smooth, no sharp corners.
5. The game is active.

With a double or triple hook (less often single), while, if bait is not supposed to be used on it, it is recommended to attach a small brush;

Silver baits for walleye resemble bleak. It was noted that the overwhelming majority of bites fell on this particular color.

Many people notice that pike perch bites well on a combination of different colors, for example, orange and brown, but this does not apply to every region.

Note: using a single hook is extremely ineffective and does not yield a rich catch.

Do it yourself

Manufacturing requires the following materials:

1. A metal sheet, best suited: copper, steel, brass. Better to do it from a new piece of metal so that it is as shiny as possible. In rare cases, silver is used for making, of course, such spinners play better in the water and attract pike perch, however, this is a very expensive option.
2. Soldering acid.
3. Marker(black is better).
4. Wooden plank.
5. Burner.
6. Tin.

Required tools:

• file;
• pliers;
• large scissors;
• sandpaper;
• soldering iron;

Also, you need a hook, the size is chosen independently, but number 3–5 is considered optimal.

Manufacturing steps:

1. Take a sheet of metal and with the help of a marker, 2 identical oblong contours of the future spoon are drawn. The size is determined by the fisherman independently, if fishing for medium-sized zander is planned, then it can be done, for example, 7–8 centimeters long and 10–15 millimeters wide. For these purposes, a special black metal marker is suitable.
2. With scissors the resulting bases are cut out. It is better to draw and cut out first one part, and then the second one using this stencil. Some anglers believe that it is better if the parts are made of different materials, but in practice there is no evidence of an increase in bites on this type of bait.
3. A file is taken and all edges are carefully aligned.
4. With acid cut sheets are processed, warmed up and covered with a thin layer of tin.
5. The hook is taken and with the help of pliers bite off his ring.
6. Next on the burner it is required to heat the parts of the hook, first its tip. Be careful with fire, hold the hook with pliers.
7. Lay out the heated parts of the hook on a wooden board, make small folds and let cool.
8. Solder to base future bait hook and its ring. It is better to start with the ring, for this you need to press it as tightly as possible to the base. Carry out the same operation with a sharp point. An important point: the main thing is that the sting and the loop are symmetrical.
9. Next, you need to take a sheet of lead and cut out a small part from it (approximately 2/3 of the length of the spoon and, on average, it is one or two millimeters narrower). The edges are trimmed and the sheet is laid out on the prepared spoon. Such an element will give the bait the opportunity to roll from side to side in the water.
10. Take the second part of the spoon, put on top and everything is carefully soldered in a circle. The most diligent thing to do in the places of the hook and loop.
11. Using sandpaper the resulting spoon is brought to shine.

Fishing technique

There are increased requirements for tackle for catching pike perch in winter:

1. It must be very durable.
2. Rigid.
3. Able to withstand significant weight and resistance.
4. Best rod length- this is 80 centimeters, but depending on the reservoir, you can use a length of 30 or 50 centimeters.

Pike perch are a strong fish, their bites are sharp, so there are situations when the rod accidentally ends up in the hole, so it is better that the handle is made of a non-sinking material that allows you to easily get the tackle.

To equip a fishing rod you will need:

1. Strong line, at least 0.2 mm thick (but not more than 0.4 mm). For pike-perch fishing, it is better to choose fishing lines depending on the behavior of the fish, if it is noticed that in a particular reservoir the predator is extremely cautious, then it is better to opt for a thinner, but durable option.
2. Coil. Many people prefer lighter and smaller models, but it is better to get a large inertial reel or multiplier. With this option, the tackle is heavier, but the line will be rolled up much faster, and fishing is much more convenient to do.
3. Nod. Such a detail is necessary if fishing is carried out at a relatively shallow depth or very easy view... A nod will allow you to feel any vibrations in the gear and will not allow you to miss a bite. The universal nod size for catching zander in winter is 3-4 centimeters.

Fishing technique:

First, you need to decide on the place of fishing.

Zander prefers to live in winter:

• in areas of greatest depth;
• in pits;
• in the eyebrows;
• in channels, especially at the end of winter;

You should do no less than 10 holes, while, if not a single bite happened for 20-30 minutes, go to another and so on all day.

Note: there are times that biting is not observed during the day, then it is recommended the next time to try to drill holes in a different place.

The main thing is to find a flock, then bites are guaranteed (if the tackle, rigging, etc. are selected correctly).

After the tackle is prepared, the cast is made. It is better to lower the spoon calmly without sudden movements.

Exist different options wiring:

1. After the spoon touches the bottom, it is required to raise it about 30 centimeters up and fix it. Next, smoothly pull the spoon up 20 centimeters, wait 2 seconds and sharply lower it almost to the very bottom. After half a minute, repeat everything from the beginning.
2. Suddenly raise the spinner and also abruptly return it to its original state. It is recommended to do such a wiring every 20-30 seconds.
3. The spoon sinks to the very bottom, after a few seconds, it rises sharply by about 50 centimeters. Then you need to return it to starting position... This should be done gradually, at first, with a sharp movement, lower it by 10 centimeters, then a pause for a few seconds and again lower by 10 centimeters, and so on, until the spoon lies on the bottom. After pausing, repeat everything from the beginning.

It is better to constantly change the wiring options, so the likelihood of attracting the attention of the pike perch increases.

1. Most active in zander during the first ice period.
2. January and February better to catch at night.
3. Spoons use different sizes and shapes.
4. Buy bait only well-known firms and not the cheapest.
5. After the purchase you should check the spoon, for this you can lower it in a bath of water.
6. Make holes necessarily at a distance of 1 meter or more from each other.
7. If in one of the holes biting has begun, it is recommended to make subsequent casts here.
8. If there is no bite, then try changing the spinner to a different type and change the wiring.

Fishing for zander with a spoon can be compared to a real hunt. It is not so easy to lure a predatory fish out of its shelters at the bottom of the reservoir, and only real professional anglers can do it. But beginners are also not averse to replenishing their catch with this delicious fish. Let's try to figure out what features a spinner should have for pike perch, how to use it at different times of the year, and compose the top of the most effective models in this matter.

First of all, you need to decide on a place for fishing. How successful fishing will be depends on this, because pike perch is not found in every body of water.

Zander prefers clean large bodies of water, especially with running water. At the same time, he likes to hide in secluded places such as large snags, deep pits or whirlpools. But he will never linger among thickets, mud, on a muddy bottom. You should also look for it in various depressions under dams, flooded drainage systems and branches of reservoirs, under cliffs.

It is also important to take into account the time of day - during the day, pike perch can be both very active and completely calm down for a while. The bite goes especially well early morning, starting from the predawn hour and until eight or nine o'clock in the morning. During the day, activity must be constantly monitored, since pike perch can go hunting both before lunch, for about an hour and a half from 10 am, and in the late afternoon for a short period of time. At night, the biting will start 100% again, you need to resume fishing from somewhere around 11 pm, until the predator retires again.

In addition, in different weather and at different times of the day, this fish can change the hunting place. At night, for example, it goes deeper under the water, and in this case the pike perch will have to be lured a little longer, driving it to the surface. Young pike perch most often gather in flocks, and always follow the same route, but larger individuals prefer isolation.

Advice! If you have a permanent fishing spot, try to memorize the routes of movement of zander in the pond. They migrate not only during the day, but throughout all seasons, but these routes usually remain unchanged.

What kind of spinner to use for fishing for walleye

Fishing for zander with a spoon will only be successful if you choose the right bait. For this fish, those spoons that are usually used for other, larger predatory fish will not work. Since the zander does not have a very large mouth, size is very important in this case - it will not even react to a bait that is too large.

In order to choose the right spoons for zander, you should pay attention to what kind of fish it eats. Due to the structure of the mouth, the pike perch prefers to hunt for medium-sized fish such as bleak, ruffs, vendace, roach and fry of various small breeds. From this we can conclude that lures suitable for catching zander should have the following characteristics:

• Oblong, streamlined shape.
• Small in size.
• With more realistic movements and active play, reminiscent of the behavior of fry in the water surface.
• Predominantly silver in color (this is also due to the appearance of the bleak, although it is believed that the pike perch reacts not to the external appearance of the prey, but to the vibrations it emits).

Photo 1. Castmaster will remind pike perch of his favorite delicacy - bleak.

But which bait is still better suited for a particular reservoir and season, you still have to find out empirically. In some periods, the behavior of the fish differs from the usual, for example, too active play can frighten off the pike perch, but smooth fishing techniques, on the contrary, will force him to come to the surface and grab the bait.

Advice! Always carry a few different types of spinners to test your pike perch preferences.

Two ways to bait walleye

Trolling for walleye is not an easy task. Good fishing results directly depend on correct technique catching. There are two main ways to make the spinner play live:

1. We measure the depth of the fishing spot, and then lower the bait to the bottom of the reservoir. After that, we raise the spoon from the bottom by no more than 50 centimeters, and it is from here that we start fishing. With intensive movements, we raise the bait by 20-30 centimeters, fix it at this depth for a few seconds, and then lower it again to a depth of about 20 centimeters from the bottom. We pause again, and then repeat the steps until the pike perch bites on the spoon.
2. We measure out the starting point of fishing in the same way. Now we make a sharp short dash upward, immediately lowering the bait back. We wait 2-3 seconds, and repeat this action again.

The lure will play effectively underwater, luring the predator. But we must not forget that the intensity of movements must be selected depending on the period of activity of the pike perch.

The choice of spinners for pike perch depending on the season

As mentioned earlier, the behavior of zander at different times of the year can vary significantly. The only period when this fish practically does not show activity in hunting is spawning, which begins in early spring and ends in early summer. During the rest of the year, the chances of a good catch are very high. Let's figure out what kind of bait will be an excellent bait at different times of the year:

• In the summer it is worth using a horizontal type spoon. In this case, it is better to choose those models that differ in weight sufficient for long throwing, while it is important that it can be carried along the bottom, luring the predator to the surface. If the pond is clean enough of various snags and sills, it is best to use spinners. With them, the chances of attracting pike perch are increased due to actively moving petals.
• In the autumn period, the zander zhor increases sharply. An excellent time to catch it will be from mid-August to early October. Then the activity of the pike perch decreases, the flocks go to deeper places, and special deep lures have to be used to catch them.
• In winter, pike perch constantly moves around the reservoir in search of prey. Therefore, in order to detect flocks, you have to drill more holes and often bypass them. To attract a predator during this period, vertical heavy baits with a lower weight, which carry out swaying (oscillating) movements, are perfect. Here it is already important to take into account the fact that too sharp and intense movements of the bait can easily scare away the pike perch, so you should give preference to smooth movements that will resemble a sleepy or wounded fish.

Important! Remember that the best bait for zander fishing will be one that closely resembles the natural behavior of this fish.

Top 10 lures for catching walleye

We found out how to choose lures for zander and how to use them, now we will highlight the 10 best lures used for fishing this predatory fish:

1. "Nurse". The name of this lure is due to its increased fishing efficiency. Due to the peculiarities of the shape with unusual curves, this lure deviates in different directions, thereby covering a larger sector of the catch. Hook - tee.
2. "Vlasovskaya". The curved shape, almost the same as that of the "Nurse", allows this bait to create an imitation of the movements of an exhausted, wounded or sleepy fish. It is on such prey that the clumsy and lazy pike perch loves to attack. The hook can be either a tee or a double.
3. Spoon bait. It is specially designed for winter zander fishing in holes. It is heavier, without any special bends, equipped with a tee hook. It is a versatile bait that other large fish can easily bite on.

   

   Photo 2. Goose baubles.

4. "Ray". Another universal lure, the peculiarity of which is the center of gravity shifted to the hook. Thanks to this, this lure falls to a new place each time, covering a larger section of the river and increasing the likelihood of luring fish. Most often it is colored silver, the hook can be single or triple.
5. Triangular spoon. Because of this shape, this spoon is good to use on the current. It gives an active game and bright highlights, which immediately lure the predator. Has increased weight in comparison with other models.
6. "Uchinskaya". This model is also used in the current, as well as at great depths. She is distinguished by her increased weight, an unusual canoe-like shape, and often a two-tone color. The combination of gold and silver coatings gives interesting highlights that entice fish.
7. "Boat". Due to its oval shape and slight concavity, such a spoon starts a spectacular game as soon as it is immersed in water. The combination of a sharp climb with a gentle sway during a reverse dive, as well as the special glare from brass or cupronickel, immediately attracts predatory fish.
8. "Master". This spinner consists of two parts: the head and tail of the fish. The hook attached to the end also has a bright plumage, due to which, when laying the spoon along the bottom, the impression of a wounded fish is created. Very effective in deep sea fishing.

   

   Photo 3. Spoon "Master".

9. Rublex Orkala. A very easy-to-use lure that is popular with novice spinning players. It is used both for fishing in open water and for winter fishing through the holes.
10. "Cobra". The shape of this bait is reminiscent of the swollen hood of a cobra. Thanks to this, the game of spinners is almost unpredictable and very realistic for a predator. Smooth movements during posting perfectly attract pike perch.

Photo 4. Spoon "Cobra".

Almost all such lures are effective not only when fishing for zander. Therefore, you should not be surprised that other predatory fish - perch or pike - will bite on these spoons. But it is these types of lures that are perfect for such cautious fish with a small mouth, like pike perch.

With winter approaching, many fishermen begin to sort out winter gear and prepare for. And today we will analyze the question of what kind of spinners you need to use if you want to fish for pike perch. Or rather, today I have prepared for you the top 10 winter spinners for pike perch.

Goose baubles are not like pikes. This is due to the fact that the mouth of the pike perch is much smaller than that of a pike or perch. Therefore, through long selections and experiments, the optimal shape of the spoon was derived specifically for pike perch.

And so the optimal shape for catching zander was recognized as a running oblong shape of the spoon. Many believe that this form of spinner directly depends on what the pikeperch eats. Because his menu includes more fish of the same shape. This is bleak, gudgeon, goby. Well, plus to this the physiological structure of the zander's mouth, which is sharpened under such a form of spinner, well, or vice versa.

Now, a little according to the more generally recognized standard, spinners from 8 to 10 grams, and no more than 10 cm long, are used. For fishing on the first ice and on the last ice, spinners with an active game are mainly used. And try to work as actively as possible, portraying a fish that is trying to hide from the mouth of a pike perch. But in the middle of winter, it is better to use baits with no fast play work less actively, allowing the pike-perch to assess the situation and thereby.

Each spinner has its own play. And before the season it is better to study everything thoroughly. You can study the game of baits at home (by taking water into the bath) or on a reservoir with clear water. Try to study which spinner responds to your movements, how it behaves under certain fishing conditions. Having such knowledge with you will be easier for you to choose the right spoon and not be left without a catch.

More often, goose baubles are often performed in silver, it is believed that the color was again influenced by bleak, which haunts the pike perch. And which he is ready to eat over and over again. Basically, pike perch is more often caught with silver spinners. But there are also lures made in gold that also show no bad results... The main thing here is to figure out what will be to the taste of this fussy today, and the trick is in the bag. It is important to have with you not one spinner, but several spinners from the list below.

There are spinners that have two colors, the so-called bimetallic. They are made of two different plates that, when played, give an unusual color scheme to which the predator reacts. But letting it go will not be news for you that other predators such as or can react to gossip baits. These neighbors are also not indifferent to these types of baits.

How to lure walleye - two basic rules for catching walleye

There are two ways how to correctly give the game to the spoon, this is the basis or the classic as it is more convenient for you to call it.

Method one... After you have drilled the hole, measure out the depth. Lower the bait until it touches the bottom. Then we raise it but 40-50 cm from the bottom and fix ourselves at this depth. This will be the starting point for fishing. Then we sharply raise the spoon to about a height of 20-30 cm and abruptly descend to a depth of 20 cm from the bottom, hold a pause for about 2-3 seconds and repeat the rise again.

Method number two... After the starting point of fishing has died out, we make a short sharp dash upward and return the bait to its original place. We pause for 2-3 seconds and repeat the jerk return again.

How to find the right wiring for zander fishing in winter

When fishing for zander closer to the middle of winter nice results shows the second method of catching and luring walleye. So it is better to make short strokes and tear off the spoon no higher than 10-15 cm from the starting point.

Note that for each spoon you need to individually select the pause exposure. Each spoon, due to its shape, stops in a different way. Therefore, you need to know how long it takes for it to come to a static state. For this, it is advised to use clear water to grind to each spoon. Well, the holding time of the spoon is calculated according to the following algorithm. After you have lowered the spoon, we count the time for which it will completely stop and add another 2-3 seconds to this time.

Vlasovskaya

Now I propose to get to know the spinners closer and study their characteristics.

In shape, it looks more like a ski than a fish. But don't let that scare you. If played correctly, it makes an excellent imitation of an exhausted fish to which a predator will immediately react. Most often it is equipped with a tee, but it also happens with a double soldered into the body of the spinner. In shape, it resembles a nursery spoon.

Nurse

This lure is so named for its increased catchability. Due to its unique curves, it can be deflected in different directions during immersion, which allows you to fish much more space under the hole.

Ray

This lure is often silver. The original center of gravity has been moved to the hook. Available with tees or single hook. The center of gravity shifted downward when the lure falls, allows the bait to land in a different place each time. Which again allows you to catch more space. Other predators nearby can react to this bait.

Zudachy Blesna

It is used for catching zander in the hole, that is, in winter it refers to winter baits. In a place with pike-perch, trout often reacts on it.

Uchinskaya baubles

The lure is intended for catching zander at great depths or in the current. For this, she has increased weight. It is often made in two colors. They combine silver and gold, which actively helps the angler to lure the fish into the shine of the bait.

Triangular

This lure is also designed for catching zander in the current. Due to its unusual shape, it gives a unique play on the course. Much more weight than standard lures.

Spoon Boat

This oval-shaped lure starts to work when diving. Attracting a predator with his magic dance. After a sharp rise, it descends smoothly, swinging in both directions like a boat on the waves. For manufacturing, two metals are used, either brass or cupronickel.

Spoon Cobra

It got its name due to its shape reminiscent of a cobra with its hood down. When driving, it gives an unpredictable game that makes it more realistic in the eyes of a predator. Even if the bait is not fast, it retains its unique game. Which also contributes to the attack of the predator.

Rublex orkala

Bimetallic spoon. When wiring, it creates an imitation of the tail of a small fish. It is used not only for fishing in the hole, but also in open water. It is not whimsical in the wiring, and therefore it can often be found in the set of novice spinningists.

Master

The combined bait consists of a small fish head and a tail in the form of a petal at the end of a hook with feathering made of wool. This lure is also not whimsical in the wiring. Most often it is used to catch zander closer to the bottom. When posting, it creates an imitation of a wounded and exhausted fish.

Pike perch is a fanged predator of our reservoirs, which is very popular among spinningists. Every year there are more and more people who want to learn how to catch pike perch, and also many spinners want to hone their skills in catching a predator. That is why the site brings to the attention of spinningists the TOP-10 best spinners for pike perch.

Our TOP consists of spoons, which have been recommended by professional anglers as the most catchy for zander. By choosing these baits, you can save time and money before learning how to identify catchy spoons... Below will be presented really good spinners for zander, which received the maximum rating from anglers. Let's get started and take a look at each of them.

TOP-10 spinners for pike perch

The rating will feature catchy spoons for pike perch. Please pay attention to the fact that each lure from this rating is equally good for zander and its place in the rating does not indicate an advantage or, on the contrary, weakness over other lures in the rating. Among these excellent baits, it is difficult to determine which of them deserves first place and which should go to tenth. Therefore, lures for pike perch are listed in random order and are conventionally equally good.

1. Acme has released such a wonderful and unusual lure as the Kastmaster. It does not look like any of the spinners familiar to anglers. Although formally a castmaster is considered an oscillating spoon, in fact, he has little resemblance to it. The bait is a metal rod cut at a steep angle on both sides. And it is no coincidence that the castmaster has received recognition both among professional anglers and among amateur anglers. He showed himself excellently for zander in our reservoirs, quickly gaining popularity. The castmaster is able to give you not only pike perch in your catch. He also takes great, and. The bait is very weighty, which gives it another big plus - long range. The original Kastmaster from Acme is perfectly balanced and each facet is crafted with incredible precision. Each edge and cut is made at a certain angle, which makes this lure as effective as possible. The castmaster works both with uniform wiring and when wiring with a step. Rolling from side to side and gleaming with edges, it simply forces the predator to attack. If you are serious about fishing for walleye or any other predatory fish, this bait should be in your arsenal. It may take several fishing trips to understand and catch this lure, but in the end you will understand how versatile and effective this lure is.
2. 
   Another unusual bait, akin to a castmaster. The bait is a heavy, narrow-bodied spoon or a noise-making pipe cut obliquely on both sides. There are metal balls inside the jig of the noisy tube, which, during the wiring, make a noise even more attracting the predator and provoking it to bite. Initially, the jig was used for sea ​​fishing, but, as it turned out, it was perfect for catching a freshwater predator, although the size of the bait had to be reduced. For river fishing, jigs up to 100 grams are used; it is optimal to use jigs of 10-50 grams. Pilker showed himself excellently when fishing for walleye. The bait is weighty, it allows you to fish well the bottom layer of water, where pike perch prowls in search of prey. The lure works great when using stepped traction, and also shows good results with uniform reeling. Best for zander fishing at great depths - more than 5 meters. In addition to pike perch, the bait works for asp, pike, perch, catfish. The bait is universal, as it can be used for other predators, and it is very effective. You also need to get used to fishing with a jig, but the bait is worthwhile and every angler should try it, many will like it.
3. 
   ... An excellent spinner that catches any predator and pike perch is no exception. Spoon often saves from failure on fishing and even on the coolest day mows pike perch, perch, pike, chub, asp,. To catch zander, you need to catch the bottom layer of water and this lure is great for such fishing. Flash Line shows the most interesting and effective game just on pauses, so step wiring (jig) is exactly what you need to catch a fanged predator. Spinning players who have chosen this lure are advised to use heavy models of this lure in the following colors for catching zander: FL04, S01, FL0, FL07, FL12 ... The spinner is really very interesting and will bring you a lot of bites. the site recommends taking a spinner and in large sizes for pike perch and in small sizes, since it will also come in handy for fishing, and in the middle and upper layers of water.
4. ... Who does not know such a sensational bait as Aglia Long. Everyone knows about it, even anglers who are not related to spinning. And the thing is that this bait turned out to be incredibly catchy for any predator. So, by choosing a heavier spoon, you can safely go in search of pike perch knocking stepwise along the bottom. Depending on the fishing conditions and the size of the potential catch, Aglia should be chosen for zander in the size nos. 2-4. This spinner should definitely be in your fishing arsenal, because this spinner is one of the most top-end for any predator and it will not leave you without bites. In addition, pike perch is far from the only predator that is able to covet this bait. Try jigging with the bait or making an even run in the lower layers of water with pauses before touching the bottom, experiment with the length of the pauses, but do not tighten for more than 3 seconds.
5. ... Another lure from SV Fishing, which works for zander. True, this lure is very versatile and is capable of mowing absolutely any predator - pike perch, perch, pike, asp, chub, catfish, ide, trout ... But for its versatility, the spinningists liked it - pike perch does not bite, it's okay, you can still not drag other fish changing baits. The shape of the bait excludes malfunctions in the game, which is why the spinner works great even on slow wiring, and during a pause it makes pirouettes that are very attractive for a predator.

The list of "tidbits" for pike perch includes tubular spoons. At the same time, in some regions these lures are considered exclusively as a summer option, while in others they are excellently caught with "pipes" from ice by the method of sheer lure.

Varieties of tubular lures

Self-made bait technology

The undoubted advantage of the tubular pike perch lure is the simplicity of its manufacture. If "turntables" and "vibrators" are rather difficult to assemble, then tubular lures can be literally stamped with a stream - and therefore, caught on them without fear of safety. In zakoryazyazhnye places, where the pike perch likes to stand, the stock of lures will be very useful.

• As a basis for the workpiece, we take a duralumin tube with a wall thickness of about 0.8 mm and a diameter of 8-10 mm.
• Cut off a 70 mm fragment from the workpiece.
• Using a metal saw, we cut one edge of the tube at an angle of about 70 degrees, and the other - 20-22 degrees. We clean the cutting lines with a file and sandpaper, hitting all the burrs and smoothing out the sharp edges.
• At the edges of the beveled parts, we drill holes with a diameter of about 1.5 mm. We attach a swivel with a winding ring to the front edge (blunt cut). We mount the winding ring to the rear edge for attaching the tee.
• We equip the bait with a tee. Since we are planning to catch pike perch, and the sky is very hard, it is advisable to use high-quality hooks with a perfectly sharp hardened sting.

If we need a loaded bait or a lure with a sealed end, then we act a little differently:

• We make a blank by cutting off the edges at the angles indicated above.
• Fill one or both holes with molten lead. If necessary, put the grain inside.
• After the metal has solidified, we grind the end parts.
• We drill holes in the attachment points of the equipment, after which we complete the spoon with a swivel and a winding ring.

We choose best spinning for twitching - in the next article.

The most difficult option is to create a compound spoon:

• We divide the tubular workpiece into three parts.
• On the details we cut out protrusions in which we drill holes.
• We pass the rivets through the holes and connect all three elements. Such a spinner will not only prowl during posting, but also bend in motion.

This completes the production. Immediately before fishing, you can clean the surface of the spinner from oxides using fine emery. But polishing it is not worth it!

Fishing with a tubular lure

In order for fishing with such a bait to be successful, you should adhere to the following recommendations:

• For inactive fish, you can use spinners with a length of 50 mm or more. During the zhora, when the pike perch is active, we hook the bait from 90 to 110 cm on the leash. This way we cut off the trifle and lure the larger specimen.
• When fishing on the current, you should opt for hollow tubes. In calm water, models with a sealed end work much better.
• When posting this bait, it is worth alternating pauses with periods of active reeling. At the same time, the spoon imitates the behavior of a wounded or weakened fish - it freezes near the bottom at a slight angle, then it begins to scour from side to side, provoking a grip.
• If there are a lot of collapses, you can replace the tee with a model with wider hooks and a shorter forend. As a rule, after that, the pike perch is spotted much more reliably.

Pike perch from a tube belongs to those lures that do not lose their effectiveness over time. And let her appearance and loses to branded "turntables" and expensive wobblers, but the pike perch grabs it no worse than twenty, thirty and fifty years ago. The main thing is not to hack during the manufacture and to monitor the sharpness of the hooks.
