Large individuals of many species of fish try to inhabit the bottom layer and far from the coast. Therefore, anglers often meet with difficulty - the capture of a trophy. There is a way that increases the chances of a fisherman to catch large fish - this is fishing on the donka.
Donka has many advantages over a conventional float rod, these are:
- the ability to throw tackle much further;
- the bait is located directly at the bottom;
- fishing on the donkey brings the best result.
It should be noted that purchased donks sometimes do not quite suit anglers, and adaptations have to be redone. Another thing is a donka with a
feeder, created
with its own hands . After all, we are preparing such a donk directly for certain fishing conditions.
The bottom line of the donkey with the feeder is that the fish can be provided not only with bait, but also with bait.
We will deal with the components of such a donkey:
- spring, or bait basket;
- sinker;
- leashes with hooks;
- carbine.
Simple enough to make a donkey with a feeder, even an inexperienced master can make it with his own hands. In the fishing store you can buy all the components listed above.
Manufacturing process
First of all, you need to prepare leashes with hooks. Basically, if you are not a fan of sport fishing, you can use about four hooks. It will be a kind of "satellite". The leash length is about 6-8 centimeters, longer - there is no need, as the leashes will become tangled, and this will bring discomfort when fishing. The material for the manufacture of leads is braid with a diameter of 0.16-0.2 mm.
Springs for the manufacture of the feeder, it is desirable to select a conical or straight shape. You should not buy springs with a sinker mounted inside, as when fishing in a muddy area, the sinker will sink the bait in the silt along with the bait.
A self-made donka with a feeder also includes a sinker. Its weight should be from 20 to 50 grams. The load should be placed at the end of the donkey on a leash, at a distance of about 10-15 centimeters from the spring.
A spring feeder is practical enough. You can hammer in such bait as a mastic, fishing clay, a combination of loose bait with fishing glue. On hooks, you can bait almost all the nozzles, both natural (peas, corn, maggot), and artificial (foam balls, artificial corn).
Bait hooks must be placed on the sides of the feeder. If the donka with a hand-made feeder has four hooks, then they should be placed opposite each other. In the event that the bottom at the bottom falls by one hook, the other three will be in full view of the fish.
Thus, a do-it-yourself donka for fishing, by many criteria, exceeds the purchased one, since you prepare it based on your own experience and make your changes and improvements there that are most suitable for a particular reservoir.
Such a donka with a feeding trough is a universal tackle for catching many peaceful species of fish. The advantages of such tackle are that you can freely provide not only bait, but also bait to the fishing sector.
