Self-chopper for feeder, as well as for other types fishing tackle, refers to assistive devices, whose usefulness and effectiveness are determined by the time and circumstances of fishing. Such devices appeared not very long ago.

At first they were various homemade gadgets, which savvy fishermen invented and manufactured for their fishing rods and zakidushki. Nowadays, many devices that contribute to automatic fish hooking are produced by industrial enterprises.

Purpose of automatic undercutters

As you know, the most active and interesting part of fishing begins at the moment when the fish bites. Some types of fish are careful, others are not very, begin to taste the bait. It is at this moment that you need to make effective striking... Such a hooking is quite possible if you are fishing with one rod, and even better - if you constantly hold it in your hands.

Important! Always, on every fishing trip, you need to take into account the physiological characteristics of the type of fish that you catch. The strength and speed with which it needs to be hooked depends on this.

If you are fishing with several tackles, which is often the case in feeder fishing, you simply may not have enough time to react to the bite, run up to the desired rod and perform a sweep.

Self-guards for fishing, just in such cases, will be very useful. Their main purpose is hooking the fish on time and with the right effort, even without the participation of the angler in this process. These devices, during a bite, provide necessary jerk of the rig in automatic mode... Quite often, experienced anglers, on the basis of a self-developed design, make a self-propeller for spinning with their own hands.

Types of automatic cutters

Absolutely any fishing rods and bottom tackle can be equipped with such devices, designed for hooking fish without the participation of an angler. Most often, these mechanisms, depending on its device, equipped with ordinary zakidushki, feeder tackle and even float rods.

There is also a self-chopper designed for spinning, although many anglers doubt its need, because fishing with a spinning rod assumes that the blank is in the hands of the angler all the time. It is rational to use an auto-set for spinning only when trolling or if the spinning rod is adapted for.

An automatic fishing rod with an auto-saver comes in handy when long fishing, when the angler cannot constantly be with her, as well as in the case when fishing is carried out with several (sometimes 4 - 5) rods.

Depending on their design and manufacturer, these devices are divided into the following types:

1. Improved gear. This type includes floats and hooks, which, by making certain changes in their design, allow you to hook the fish without the participation of the fisherman.
2. Various homemade designs. As a rule, a do-it-yourself automatic fish trimmer and the scheme of its operation are based on the same principle of operation as a conventional mousetrap. The main driving force in them is either dense rubber or a tensioned spring of the required power.
3. Industrial devices. This type includes technological mechanisms that are originally designed for a particular tackle.

Fishermen often improve industrial designs of self-thrusters to suit their requirements, increasing or, conversely, somewhat weakening their sensitivity and strength of action.

Features of different types of undercutters

The most important characteristic in the action of any automatic stripper is undoubtedly the force with which it acts on the prey. In accordance with the required impact force, the tension power of the springs or rubber used in the device is calculated. It is, as a rule, the more significant, the heavier the tackle for which the mechanism is intended. For example, a feeder stripper requires greater strength actuation than a donkey striker with or without a short stick.

Expert opinion

Knipovich Nikolay Mikhailovich

Zoologist, hydrobiologist. I am fond of fishing at a professional level.

Attention! As a rule, springs stretch over time and lose some of their power. This must be taken into account when setting up the self-thrusting mechanism.

It is also important to consider the strength that is needed to removing the device from the safety lock and initiating the actual sweep. Stoppers and triggers, depending on the tackle, also come in different designs and power, but, what is imperative, they must all be sensitive enough to ensure that the device responds to any, most careful bite.

It should be borne in mind that an industrially manufactured fishing striker is designed for a specific tackle, with specific requirements, only if it comes with this tackle. The rest of the industrial mechanisms, which have different principles of operation and power, need to be matched to your gear yourself and, if necessary, modified.

A self-made undercutter always takes into account the characteristics of that rod, that tackle for which it was conceived and made. For example, a do-it-yourself spinning rod should take into account the following factors:

1. Weight and.
2. Approximate casting distance of lures. This is important for the approximate calculation of the weight of the rig in the water.
3. When fishing by trolling - the force of the current and the speed of the boat.
4. The size of the alleged trophies, their type, as well as how the bite of this type of fish usually occurs (carefully or quickly).

If an angler who makes an automatic undercutter for his tackle by himself manages to take all these factors into account and make a suitable device, the number of unnoticed or empty bites will be significantly reduced.

Anglers often use a variety of runners in combination with rubber bands or redesigned mousetraps when making undercutters for bottom gear. Also common are vertical struts, which are fixed in the ground or at the side of the boat, with powerful springs and appropriate stoppers.

Apart from all the devices for automatic fish hooking, there are floats and hooks.

A float that helps fish self-float is, as a rule, a regular float with an elongated central rod, supplemented by a disc of non-sinking material with a hole in the center for the upper part of the float rod and a special stopper (thickening) in the upper part of this rod. When biting, the main part of the float's body goes under the water, but at the end the stopper interacts with the disc, which sharply slows down its going under the water and contributes to the fish self-undercutting.

Self-locking hooks have a modified shape, somewhat similar to a spring, which contributes to its deep penetration into the fish's pharynx and its detection. Such hooks are produced by only a few foreign enterprises and are rarely found on sale. Their main disadvantage is that it is very difficult to free the caught fish from such a hook.

An example of a self-made self-chopper for a feeder

Let's analyze one of the options for an automatic undercutter for a feeder, in which the rod is attached to the swinging element of the rack, like a rocker arm, and the undercutting occurs due to the compression of the spring. Such a mechanism can be done by hand. Its design and principle of operation is easy to understand by understanding the following diagram:

First you need to make a stand or support stand. Almost any means at hand can do this, the main thing is that it turns out to be very high, because it is on it that a short rod will be attached to a thick and durable spring.

Self-landing spinning rods are very easy to make, because their design is not tricky. If you can't find a suitable option for yourself in the store or you like to do something with your own hands, then it's time to get down to business. The main elements for creating such gear are a spring, a lever and a stopper.

In a standing position, the rod should rush up, and in a bent position, it can be folded in half. The rod is connected to the rod by means of a spring. A retainer, trigger and stopper are attached to the rack. A line passes through the tip of the rod (it should be thin), which should be pressed with a stopper.

Such a compact fishing rod has an important drawback - in the vertical position, these devices are inherent in very low stability. But doing it doesn't mean getting a 100% guarantee that the fishing will be successful.

When making such rods, the following nuances must be taken into account:

• length and weight;
• the strength of the current and the speed of the boat;
• the distance at which the bait is thrown;
• the type and size of potential production;
• the nature of the bite (swift or careful).

How to set up a self-thrust spinning rod

The main advantage of the fishergoman self-landing rod is that it has a high structural strength, which gives an almost 100% guarantee of catching even the most obstinate prey.

Miniature size and light weight (compared to the fact that some rods have enough heavy weight) this is a big plus of the design, because the rod has good flexibility and strength, which means that even the most big fish.

Each package with a FisherGoMan rod, no matter what price, instructions are included in mandatory, where the rigging process is clearly spelled out:

1. To begin with, you should straighten all the elements by simply pulling the tip of this device.
2. Next, you need to install the coil and check its serviceability.

Voila, you can use the design and start fishing for fun. Just do not forget to check the operation of the mechanism and how correctly it is fixed.

There are several types of self-hitting rods, which differ in their design features:

Which option to choose for yourself is up to you. The main thing is that he is suitable for specific purposes and fulfills his duties.

Factory devices

Self-setting fishing rods are manufactured by enterprises, so they look technologically advanced and neat. All products are either folding rods or telescopic blanks mounted on movable arms. The line snatch here is carried out by a spring that straightens the rod.

If we mean a folding blank (has a generic name FisherGoMan), then a spring located not far from the reel seat acts as a working element of the self-securing device. In the ready-for-fishing position, the rod is folded at 90 degrees close to the handle, the line is wound into the trigger or ring, which holds the structure in this state.

As soon as the line is taut, the bracket slides off the retainer and the blank straightens out.

You can find out more about the characteristics of the automatic fishing rod FisherGoMan here.

In Russia, such mechanisms are recent times got the name "Chinese fishing rods" because they are distributed in most cases through the Aliexpress portal.

When using a catching stand, after casting, the rod is placed on an already loaded device, the line is inserted into the trigger guard, which is adjusted in such a way that when pulled, it releases the lever, and it lifts the blank up.

A spinning rod for a self-choker is selected based on the following blank requirements:

• it should be straight and smooth, free of cracks and scuffs;
• wire rings are in good working order, do not have slots and notches in the ceramic inner insert;
• the action of the rod is medium, the flexibility of the tip is not encouraged, otherwise the strike may come out slowly with a smooth effort (therefore, the auto-choke for the feeder is not used);
• the bend of the blank is uniform along the entire length, this quality is achieved on fiberglass or carbon fiber rods;
• rod test - depends on the weight of the intended trophy.

The listed qualities of the tackle are determined by the loads that the blank receives when straightening. The angler has to select its characteristics in such a way that the line is not damaged when passing through the rings, the hook is sharp, but up to a certain limit, beyond which the amortization of the whip begins.

Its excessive rigidity is also harmful: without amortization, the "stick" can break the tackle if a hook occurs.

Recently, other designs have appeared that are attached directly to the rod. The principle of operation is a bit similar to a stapler. There is a spring inside the lower part, at the end of the trigger bracket there is a roller through which the fishing line is passed. When undercutting, the bracket moves, disengages from the lower part of the undercutter and the whole top part sharply straightens up, pulling the tackle.

Homemade mechanisms

Most of the devices that anglers make on their own are based on the principle of operation of a mousetrap. As soon as a bite occurs, the stretched line moves the bracket with the elastic at the end a little and releases the lever, which makes the sweep.

The device is located on the shore, and so that the wooden base does not move arbitrarily, it is fixed to the ground with pins.

The best models of self-thrust spinning rods

In the meantime, before heading off to the store for a new self-landing rod, you need to research the designs that are popular with anglers. This question can be answered by Sergei Fedorov, who invented his fishing rod based on store options. It can be used as a main stance on the bank without auto-hooking, and spinning rods with an auto-hooking function.

Its undercutter is an elastic band with two support pegs. More detailed diagram its production can be seen in the author's video.

The fishergoman rods are very popular due to their compactness. The actions that it performs are performed automatically, i.e. independent control of the bite and hooking at the right time without the participation of the owner.

The fishing rod starts to catch, the fish at this moment grabs the spoon, pulling the line, thereby activating a special mechanism. The fisherman will only have to take out the trophy from the reservoir.

An equally popular option is the SUR-300 self-landing rod. It works for both lifting and lifting. It is designed for catching prey in winter time of the year. There are two trigger modes: manual and semi-automatic. In addition, the duration of the bite is regulated by setting the nod holder to a certain position.

What is an automatic fishing striker for?

If several bottom tackles are used when fishing, or the fisherman is simply distracted, you can miss the moment of a good bite. This is where donkey self-deflectors come in handy. They will be able to hook the fish in time without the participation of the fisherman - the structure will make an automatic dash. Specialists in fishing are able to make a hook for a bottom fishing rod with their own hands.

Types of automatic cutters

Such devices can be installed on any rod. Most often they are installed on simple zakidushki, feeders or fishing rods with floats. An automatic spinning guard becomes appropriate if a feeder tackle is installed on the rod.

Auto-deflectors can be installed:

1. On or near the rod. With this option, the line will be stretched using a rubber cord. If not, a simple rubber band will do. You will also need steel wire (or a simple paper clip) to make the lever. A fishing line will be attached to one side of it, and a stretched rubber cord on the other. The lever will be in the first ring of the rod. If the line pull is horizontal, the lever will pop out of the ring. Then the elastic will contract, and the fishing line will reach behind it.
2. On a leash. The sweep takes place right in the water. The hooking mechanism will be based on rubber or spring. At the time of the bite, one of the taut ends of the lever will be released. After the lever is straightened, it will make a sharp jerk, and the fish will be out of the water.

Both options allow you to increase the fish catch several times. The main thing is that the mechanism for their work is installed correctly.

Fishermen are constantly improving designs, making them as comfortable as possible for their rod. Some make them with their own hands from improvised means, others buy ready-made undercutters to modify the mechanism.

There are several types of automatic sub-slicers:

1. Improved tackle. Some changes are made to the design of the hook and float, thanks to which the hooking will be automatic.
2. Homemade construction. A self-made autoswitch is similar in principle to a mousetrap: its movement is based on either rubber or spring.
3. Industrial undercutters. These designs are made for specific gear.

Anglers can buy an industrial kit and modify it as they wish.

Today anglers use several types of self-starting devices for fishing rods. Each of them is designed for specific fishing conditions and has a number of characteristics.

The most popular option is a mousetrap mechanism. Despite the simplicity of its design, it does its job well and prevents fish from coming off the hook.

After the fish has swallowed the bait, the line will begin to pull quickly and trigger the trigger. A spring is used to tighten the lever, by means of which the fishing line is instantly fixed.

This is what will allow you to perform an accurate and hard hitting. The mechanism itself is on a piece of thick plywood or other material.

To make it yourself, you must follow these instructions:

It is a snap to build a high-performance, self-locking rod. To do this, you need to carefully follow the instructions, accurately following each step by step action... In this case, a homemade mechanism will work no worse than an expensive factory model.

A fishing rod with an auto-safety device has the following principle of operation: when a fish approaches the bait, takes it and begins to swim away, the line is pulled. With a certain tension force, a special bracket disengages from the bracket and the spring fastened to it sharply straightens the working element, supporting the tackle. Thus, the fish self-hooks on the hook.

The following can act as a work item:

• long arm if the device is based on the mousetrap principle;
• self-locking bracket attached to a rod with a roller at the end;
• rod, if the jogging is done by raising the blank sharply.

The tension of the line is adjusted so that even a slight bite will trigger, but the wind and waves could not.

Many anglers are fond of several types of fishing. To combine walking fishing with spinning on a predator from the shore and a quiet sit-down hunting for white fish with bottom or float gear, you need to be a rare lucky person or a professional. When you're on the sidelines trying to lure predatory fish, keep track of the bite on the triggered bottom gear, to react in time, then it is practically impossible to reach the place where the fishing rods are exposed. There is still a way out of this situation - this is an automatic hooking when biting without the participation of an angler. You can make and install the undercutter for a bottom fishing rod with your own hands right on the shore of the reservoir.

Types of auto-undercutting devices

The practice of using rod-mounted auto-safety devices has been around for decades. The self-propulsion design is offered:

industrial manufacture. Such options have a complex structure, often large dimensions, high prices;

When purchasing an industrial self-choker for a donkey, it is necessary to upgrade the rod specifically for this device.

homemade production. They are represented by a large number of versions for which inexpensive materials at hand are used. There are freely available drawings and assembly procedures for such devices.

Industrial undercutters replace the stand, are used to install a rod in them. They require personal care, are prone to corrosion, have complex technical solutions for undercutting. The moving parts of the auto-jump mechanism are clogged with dirt, sand, the springs are deformed, which leads to missing bites and idle sweeps.

Self-made self-choppers, unlike purchased ones, have a budgetary cost. Misfires during their use are practically excluded. The simplicity of the design allows the use of such structures in any natural conditions, does not require additional maintenance and care.

Simple and budget-friendly design

A homemade feeder stripper is easy to make with two rubber bands and a paper clip. Such a device, after throwing the donkey, fixes the main line, and during the bite it hooks the fish at the right time.

The procedure for using and making a homemade undercutter for a feeder:
the elastic bands are connected into one by threading into each other and fixed at one end by the coil leg;

the paper clip is straightened into a flat wire, with the help of pliers bends are formed in the form of hooks along its edges;

Paper clips are of low cost, so there is an opportunity to practice making a quality fixture without worrying about breaking one or two pieces.

after casting the bait into the water, the modernized wire hook is fixed to the first ring of the rod with one hook;

The sensitivity of the auto-choke operation can be adjusted empirically using the fictitious bite method.

with the help of the main line, the self-locking device is cocked, the free wire hook of the automatic safety device is fixed.

After cocking the undercutting mechanism, it is necessary to check its operability once, then put it back into automatic mode.

Float based

People's ingenuity and ingenuity has shown itself in fishing with float gear. It happens when the bite is activated, and it is physically impossible to fish with two or three rods. The bite occurs, but the angler does not have time to hook. For such situations, a float-based self-throttle was invented. The manufacturing principle is simple:

• a flat foam rubber cylinder is cut out, the size of which is determined empirically by the diameter of the float;
• the selected piece of foam rubber is put on the tip with free movement along it and fixed with a bead with a cambric.

When biting, the modified design goes under the water. In this case, the cylinder creates significant resistance to immersion, and self-chopping occurs.

The sensitivity of the hooking is easy to adjust by moving the foam rubber along the antenna of the signaling device.

Attention! When fishing for crucian carp, this refinement does not work. The main feature of his bites is the raising of the float, and not a sharp drowning, like in other fish.

Industrial analogue

Typically purchased holders with automatic hooking have a high price and are not always made of durable material. Therefore, having the necessary set of tools and a sufficient budgetary amount of funds, you can make such a device yourself.

A simple design is the key to accurate response and minimal maintenance.

List of tools required for manufacturing:

• pliers;
• grinder with cut-off wheels;
• welding machine, electrodes;
• drill;
• a hammer;
• yew;
• marker or chalk;
• paintbrush.

Materials used:

• fittings with a diameter of 8-10 mm for the manufacture of legs;
• sheet metal with a thickness of 2 mm and 5 mm;
• door spring 50 - 80 cm long.

The procedure for making a self-prying device with:

The simplicity of the self-locking device allows you to measure and draw up a drawing according to the attached photograph.

• according to the drawing, the reinforcement for the manufacture of legs is measured, cut off with a grinder;
• prepared rods are formed with a hammer and yews;
• staples holding the rod, spring and undercutting mechanism are cut out of sheet metal (thickness 2 mm);

The undercutting process is based on the principle of the trigger supporting the tongue holding the stand.

• holes are drilled in the spring holding bracket;
• the tongue of the undercutter is made of iron 5 mm thick;

The tongue is pinned or twisted by a bolt, but has free play.

• cut and prepared parts are welded in the right order;
• the structure is painted.

Conclusion

The use of automatic strikers is advisable and confirmed by the amount of fish in the catch. With their help, it is possible to combine fishing and recreation, as well as different types catching. The proverb “You will chase two hares, you will not catch a single one” with such assistants is refuted.

With what pleasure do fishermen hook the fish when, having settled down on the shore in good and not so good weather, they sports passion pursue their hobby. Emotions, adrenaline, rich catch! All these are components good fishing... But what if you need to move away from the tackle for a while, have a quiet lunch and relax? For such a case, this tackle is provided. The automatic fish deflector is very necessary when there is no time to constantly monitor the fishing rod and watch the bite.

Homemade at work

Self-propeller with aircraft rubber

In one of the simple and at the same time effective self-prying devices presented below, the basis of the mechanism is aviation rubber, a plastic profile, a piece of plastic from a DVD or CD disk, an aluminum rod, an M6 bolt, two nuts (you can also use a lamb, it is more convenient), pin. As you can see, scarce materials are not needed to make a do-it-yourself undercutter, you can assemble it from the parts at hand.

When catching fish with the help of a self-tapping device, you can use the donk without a rod and with it, attaching a device under it. After casting the fishing rod, you need to release the line a little and bring it into the slot of the gatehouse.

Now even simpler in design and operation of the autoshock and that, how the undercutter works... Such a device works great on a current, it is easy to use and can be used at any time of the year.

During feeder fishing often sluggish and subtle bites occur, often invisible to the eye of the fisherman. In order for them to be realized, self-thrusters were invented, which are currently used both for fishing with classic donks and for more advanced feeder fishing. There are a lot of self-propelled guards at the present time, it is sometimes difficult for an angler to understand how this design works, and how to make a self-propeller for fishing on a feeder with his own hands.

To understand what constitutes a self-chopper for a feeder, you need to understand its structure, principle of operation and varieties. The device is auxiliary when fishing with a feeder and does not represent a full-fledged self-landing tackle.

Self-chopper for feeder

A classic auto-choke for a feeder - home-made or factory-made - consists of the following main elements:

• Support stand - serves for fastening the self-propeller in the soil of the shore;
• Rocker arms - designed to fix the rod handle;
• Springs - when biting and triggering trigger under the action of the elastic force, gives the feeder itself a jerky upward movement - undercut;
• Trigger mechanism - designed to trigger a spring-loaded rocker at a certain tension of the fishing line.

Such an automatic fishing striker, when properly adjusted, practically eliminates idle operations and provides maximum amount productive jogging. You can buy it in addition to fishing shops as well on various Internet portals.

In addition to store-bought self-chockers for the feeder, home-made ones have become widespread recently. They are in no way inferior, and sometimes even surpass the factory counterparts. There are enough videos and drawings on the web, thanks to which the process of creating a device is simplified.

How does it work

The self-locking mechanism works as follows:

• Feeder with baited rig is thrown at the fishing point;
• The rocker arm is installed perpendicular to the rack and is fixed by a trigger;
• The rod is inserted into the rocker arms, the slack in the line is reeled off;
• A fishing line or cord from a reel is wound by the trigger of the trigger;
• When biting, the fishing line pulls the lever, the trigger releases the rocker, and it rises sharply under the force of the spring tension.

Purpose of self-deflectors

A self-undercutting device is a device designed to perform undercutting at a certain tension force of a fishing line or line by a fish when biting.
Self-deflectors are used in the following cases:

• With a lot of gear. If the angler catches on 4-5 feeders, then he will not be able to equally follow each tackle. In this case, he will be helped by self-cutters, which will perform sweeps for him;
• At night fishing... At night, auto-deflectors will give you the opportunity to sleep for a couple of hours and not worry that the bite will be missed;
• With a weak bite. When the fish is inactive, it is easier for the angler to install all the tackle in the self-thrusters, adjust them for a weak bite and catch at this time with a float rod;

Self-landing gears are not used when biting is active - in this case, the angler will spend a lot of time reloading very quickly triggering self-landing gears. In this case, it will be easier to sweep manually and catch no more than 3 feeders.

What are the types

Depending on which tackle is used, all self-thrusters are:

• For bottom tackle - designed for hooking when fishing with classic bottom rig;
• For the feeder - great class self-deflectors, designed for installing feeders on them. Special hooks can also be used as self-securing devices in the feeder tackle, the design of which, when swallowing and pulling them with a fish, contributes to the easy and reliable entry of the sting into soft tissue fish mouth, secure hold when playing;
• For float gear. There are used both self-projectors similar to feeder ones, and special floats with a movable flat washer made of floating material on the antenna several times wider than the body. Such a self-chocking float works as follows: when biting into the bottom, the washer does not allow the float to go under the water, counteracting the pull of the fish hook with the nozzle and thereby causing self-chopping.

By the method of manufacturing and modernization, the autoshockers are:

• Factory - represented by models of domestic or Chinese production;
• Self-made - self-prying devices, made by fishermen on their own;
• Upgraded (improved) - self-made or factory self-choppers with additional components installed or improved existing components.

Features of different undercutters

Depending on what kind of fishing the self-thrusters are used, they have different design features:

• The presence of fasteners for the rod. For feeder self-projectors, the presence of fasteners for the blank is mandatory, while for the classic bottom gear on the reel, fasteners are not required in the design of this device;
• Spring force;
• Features and force of triggering. The design and actuation force of the trigger mechanism of the self-propeller depends on the type of gear and the weight of the intended prey.

Self-chopper for a do-it-yourself feeder

The following tools will be needed to make a self-securing device:

• Drill;
• Set of heads;
• Bulgarian.

Materials:

• Steel wire with a diameter of 3 mm;
• Stainless wire with a diameter of 1.2 mm;
• Aluminum corner 20 × 20 mm;
• Door spring;
• Bolt 8 × 30 mm;
• Nut М8;
• Bolt 6 × 15 mm;
• Nut М6.

Making an autosweater

• We make a stand 80-100 cm long from an aluminum corner. At one of the ends we make an acute angle to fix the self-propeller in the soil of the shore.
• From the wire we make a rocker with two brackets for fastening the rod - the back bracket should have the shape of the English letter "D", directed with the flat part down, and the front one - the Russian letter "C", with the convex part down. The two brackets should be opposite each other and perpendicular to the wire axis of the rocker arm.
• We also make a loop in the middle of the rocker to fix this element on the main rack. When bending the front bracket, we make a loop for attaching the trigger of the trigger.
• From a thinner steel wire we make a trigger with a loop in the middle, a ring and a semicircular hook at the ends.
• From the same wire, we make the second part of the trigger, consisting of two straight segments, movably connected to each other (ring into a ring) - while one of the segments is attached to the front bracket in the same place as the trigger, and the second is slightly bent and is passed into the ring in the middle of the trigger.
• To fix the moving parts in the working position, 5-7 cm below the upper end of the main stand, a small wire hook is attached to its back side.
• Using a 6 × 15 mm bolt and a corresponding nut, we attach the wire trigger to the hinge on the front bracket.
• In the rack, at a distance of 30-40 cm from the upper end, we drill 3-5 holes.
• Using a loop in the middle of the rocker arm, we fasten it with an 8 × 30 mm bolt and a corresponding nut on the main post.
• We attach the spring by clinging its handles to the holes on the rack and to the flat part of the rear bracket.

The installation process for the assembled self-propulsion system is as follows:

• The rocker arm is bent with effort so that the angle between its plane and the upper edge of the rack is 90 0.
• The junction of the moving parts of the trigger is attached to the hook on back side racks.
• The free tip of one of the two moving parts of the trigger is passed into the ring in the middle of the trigger.
• The rod is fixed in the rocker brackets, the excess fishing line is exhausted.
• The line from the reel is neatly pulled back and clings to the trigger hook.
• When pulling, the fishing line moves the trigger hook, the tip of one of the two movable parts of the trigger jumps out of the trigger hole, thereby releasing the rocker arm with a spring, which rises sharply, thereby performing a sweep.

In order to improve the sensitivity of this device in the rig, it is better to use a stiff braided line.
