Fishing, judging by numerous reviews, is one of the best reasons to stay on the beach and relax. To ensure a good catch, the fisherman has to constantly control the bite. Nevertheless, there are situations when you need to go away. As a result, the rod will have to be put aside, and the fishing process itself will be interrupted. Just for such cases, automatic choppers were invented, namely, a self-chopper for donks. These devices are sold in fishing stores. However, most anglers prefer to use handicrafts. About how to make a do-it-yourself self-protector for donkeys, you will learn from this article.
About the purpose of the device
The main task of the fisherman during the bite is to complete the cut in time. To do this, you have to follow the twitching of the fishing line, and if necessary, take a fishing rod in your hands and make a jerk. If you have a good reaction and dexterity, there are no problems. However, if the angler fishes with several gears at once or is forced to move away, an automatic device will perform hooks instead, it will react to the bite and sharply stretch the forest. In this case, the fisherman will not participate. According to experts, automatic chopping is used exclusively in bottom fishing. Consumers use both factory-made proprietary designs and do-it-yourself designs. Self-guides for donk handicrafts, judging by numerous reviews, are no less effective. In addition, the use of homemade water on a pond to a home craftsman will be cheaper. On how to make a self-remover on a donk with your own hands, further.
About tools and supplies
Before you begin to make your own self-protector for donks, you need to get the following:
- aluminum plate;
- 2 mm wire;
- a plate of red-hot steel;
- a board;
- pliers, a screwdriver and wire cutters;
- an elastic band or a spring;
- plastic;
- with one clothespin, bolts and nuts.
In addition, you need to prepare fishing tackle: fishing rod with fishing line, reel, hooks and lures.
Working process
A do-it-yourself self-protector for donkey is made as follows. First, an aluminum plate is bent. On both sides you need to retreat 20 mm. The product must be in the shape of the letter P. Each bent side is equipped with one hole, the diameter of which is 2 mm. Next, the hot plate is equipped with a wire, which will be used as a spring. According to experienced masters, three turns are enough. Then one end is bent so that it is like a big hook.
The finished spring is mounted on an aluminum plate. From the opposite end, cambric is installed, it will perform the function of a latch. Next, the end of the wire is bent. After that, a loop is made from the long end of the spring, strung on a wire. This mechanism and the wire ring are attached to the very end of the board. The hinged structure should stand so that it contacts the gatehouse. Then, with screws, the plate is attached to the board. After performing these steps, the do-it-yourself self-protector for the donkey (the product photo is presented below) is ready for operation.
What will experts advise?
For those who perform such work for the first time, experienced craftsmen recommend being careful as much as possible. Due to the fact that the rubber or spring is under high tension, as a result of the slider slipping out of the base, the fisherman may be injured. To increase the sensitivity of the device, the descent should be set to a minimum. However, this is possible if you had to fish in a pond with a calm course.
