Most people love a freshwater delicacy like crayfish. At the same time, many who even live on the banks of reservoirs do not know how to catch these animals. Therefore, it will be described below how to make a rakolovka, which works almost without fail.
Simple crayfish fixture
Across the world, these animals have been caught for centuries using the simplest devices. If earlier it took a lot of time to make them, then today we have a wide variety of materials and tools at our service, with which you can make an effective trap in a couple of hours. How to make scraping from improvised materials? The simplest and most primitive trap is made of a small piece of fine wire mesh made of thin wire. The shape of such a trap is conical. She has long proven her worth. To tighten the mesh into the shape of a truncated cone, you will need a screed (thick wire) and a
nylon thread.How to make a do-it- yourself raking? Making traps begins with bending the rings. To do this, the wire is bent so that the lower ring has a diameter of about 50 cm, and the upper one is about 20 cm. These sizes have been tested for years, so do not particularly experiment in this direction. Rings should be made of such a wire so that its weight allows the raking to smoothly sink to the bottom without turning over. Using ties, a mesh is attached to the larger diameter ring. She should not sag much. The optimal spacing between screeds is 6-7 cm. If there is no thin aluminum or copper wire for attaching the mesh, you can use a strong nylon thread.
How to make rakolovka effective?
After making the base, struts are made to support the top of the trap. For them, as a rule, they use wire, although in its absence it is possible to use suitable wooden twigs. After that, the lower and upper bases are connected in the form of a truncated cone. Optimum rigidity of this design will give 4-5 spacers. Tighten the mesh evenly on the fabricated frame. It should completely cover the entire structure (except for the inlet at the top of the trap). All connecting seams are carefully pulled together.
How to use a trap?
Many fishermen know how to make rakolovka. The photo above shows some of the simplest options for traps. As a rule, they all operate according to one principle: the cancer through a narrow hole enters the rakolovki with the bait, and can no longer crawl out. All traps (cone-shaped, cylindrical, in the shape of a parallelepiped) are tied to the top at three points for a long rope and lowered to the bottom of the reservoir. In oblong devices for catching these animals, inlet openings are most often located at both ends. Now it’s clear how to make rakolovka, but what bait should be used in it? Usually a piece of meat or a dried liver is attached to the trap. For greater catch, you can use several rakovolkov located along the coast.
