Fishing is one of the most favorite activities of many men. However, fans of this pastime can be divided into two groups. The first of them prefers fishing with a fishing rod, and the second does not imagine its life without spinning. This article will be useful to everyone, because it will talk about how to make a tube for spinning rods and fishing rods from improvised materials.
Shop models
Today in specialized fishing shops a huge assortment of both vital and absolutely unnecessary things is presented to the fisherman. To which of these categories does the spinning tube belong, everyone must decide for himself.
There is no doubt that there is a benefit from such a device, since it will be very difficult to keep a fishing rod or spinning rod on the road without it. The question is different. Is it worth it to spend your hard-earned money on what you can do yourself without problems in just a couple of minutes? Here again, complete freedom of choice. If saving is not in the first place, then why not get such a thing?
Especially for wealthy people whose passion is fishing, rather than elephant safaris, it is necessary to give some recommendations on choosing a tube. The first thing you need to pay attention to is roominess. Choosing is worth a model that will fit more than one rod. The material of manufacture also plays an important role. It must have the necessary rigidity to protect against mechanical damage. The additional functionality of the tube will give the presence of various straps and mounts, as well as additional compartments and pockets for storing gear.
The Aquatic Spinning Tube has excellent performance in all of the listed criteria. The competition for this company can be only the Plano trademark. It is on these 2 brands that you should pay attention when buying.
Homemade option
For those who are not fortunate enough to be born an oligarch, it remains to advise only one thing - to make a tube for spinning with your own hands. In fact, the procedure for its manufacture will take no more than an hour.
Before you get to work, you need to make sure that you have everything you need. In order to translate the idea into reality, you will need:
- Water plastic pipe.
- Gas-burner.
- Plastic plug.
- Knife.
- 2 carbines.
- 2 rings.
- Belt.
Despite such an impressive list, all of the above items can be easily found at home or ask a neighbor. The most difficult job is to solder the plugs and pipes, for this it will be necessary to heat both parts. After the plastic cools, a very strong connection will be obtained.
The spinning tube is ready, it remains only to attach the belt so that it is more convenient to wear it. Just for this you will need rings and carbines.
Comparison
This is one of the few cases where a DIY item can be many times better than a store item. This is due to the fact that the tube for the spinning
rods from the
water pipe can be made absolutely any size. It is only necessary to choose the appropriate diameter.
As for the appearance, the home-made tube is a blank canvas, which you can draw at your discretion. Fans of minimalism can not strain and leave everything as it is. Everyone else just needs to find a fabric or fur that sticks directly to the plastic. Thus, it turns out a beautiful and functional thing, the cost of which is mere pennies.
