Bottle for pike fishing: characteristics and remains

Yuri 09/22/2020 1515

Every year, fishermen select different, most interesting techniques in order to catch a large predator. But I found one of the best simple ways - catching pike with a bottle. It resembles the method of fishing with poles and circles, and is excellent for catching trophies.

But with the help of a bottle you can actively catch even medium and small specimens. In order to create such gear, you do not need to spend a lot of time and money.

Features of creating equipment

The main element of this device is a standard plastic bottle. The size depends on the baitfish. You need to tie a fishing line with tackle to the neck, and then wind it around the container.

Important! In order to fix it securely, you can make a small hole in the plastic rim and pass a fishing line through it.

Before you lower the tackle into the water, unwind more fishing line, and fix the reserve on the bottle so that only the pike can release it at the moment of biting. In order to secure the stock, you can use standard rubber bands for money. Place one in the middle, the second on the neck. At the moment when the pike begins to peck, the elastic band breaks or simply flies off the bottle, after which the predator can take as much fishing line as it needs.

In order to make the tackle more visible to the fish, I painted the lower part with a bright color. You can make it even simpler and place a bright piece of material inside.

For equipment I take the following components:

weight;
metal leash;
large treble hook;

The weight of the load should not be too heavy, since the bottle needs to be sunk, and it must stand vertically and not go into the depths. If desired, the weight can be placed on the fishing line in front of the leash. Thus, the baitfish will move the container around the reservoir as it wants.

But you can also make stationary tackle. In this case, the weight should be placed at the bottom, and the leash with the hook above. This tackle is ideal for catching pike in a body of water with a strong current.

Experienced fishermen use this option for fishing in thickets of grass and snags. It is better to use small fish as live bait, as in other cases it can lead the tackle into the thicket, where it will eventually get entangled.

Collecting tackle

The pike bottle has a very simple structure and components; as already mentioned, even a child can handle the installation. However, it is worth understanding that there are two types of gear:

for fishing from the shoreline;
for fishing from a boat.

The operating principle of both options will be identical, but there are still some features in the formation of the gear. The equipment is assembled from the following components:

tackle component	for fishing from shore	for fishing from a boat
bottle	for each piece of gear one	one for each piece of gear
the basis	nylon cord or fishing line of thick diameters, you will need about 15-25 m in total	nylon cord or thick monk, 8-10 m will be enough
leash	steel, up to 25 cm long	steel, 25 cm long
sinker	20-100 g weight	up to 100 g weight
hook	tee or double	tee or double

Having studied the indicators, we can safely say that the installation will differ only in the amount of the wound base. In all other respects, there is no difference at all in the components of the gear. But you need to know the intricacies of collection for both species.

Fishing from the shoreline

A distinctive feature of bottle fishing from the shore is the fixation of the gear in the vegetation. Abandoned gear is simply tied to bushes or a tree that is located on the shore for reliability. Its advantage is that it can be set overnight and only checked for catch in the morning.

In addition, installation has the following features:

additionally, 5-8 m of cord or fishing line are wound for fastening;
the sinker is attached at the end of the tackle; it does not have to be made sliding;
the leash is knitted to the base half a meter above the load securing;
To make the bite more noticeable, fill the bottle 2/3 with water.

Another important point will be the presence of aquatic vegetation; the tackle for pike must be installed where there is none at all. This will help avoid tangling the bait and the base.

Such passive fishing often helps out on camping trips; resting on the banks of rivers with such equipment will help you get hold of decent specimens of the predator.

Fishing from a boat

To catch pike with a bottle from a watercraft, the warps are wound less than when fishing from the shore. This is due to the fact that in this case the tackle is not tied anywhere, but placement is carried out directly in the chosen place, where you can swim by boat.

For greater reliability of the tackle, an additional hole is made in the neck or the cork itself, through which the base is tied.

The end of the tackle is a sinker; its weight can reach 100 g, but it must always remain sliding. Craftsmen often use various objects that help the gear stay in its intended place.

The leash and hook are attached as standard, for this you should study the depths being fished a little, and only then carry out installation.

The nuances of fishing with a bottle

In order to use this technique, it is better to use a boat. Fishing techniques can be active or passive. In the first case, you should set up the tackle not far from the boat and wait for a bite. In this case, the fish unwinds the line, and the weight is at the bottom, and the bottle lies on the water. As soon as you notice this, immediately go to the tackle, hook and pull out the catch.

If the predator is active, it will rush around the entire pond. In this case, it will not be easy to get the fish. I’ll tell you honestly, this requires experience and skill, since neither a rod nor a reel will help.

Attention! When fishing, you should be careful, as the fishing line can injure your hand. It is better to use a cord: it will be easier to pull out a large trophy and the risk of injury will be minimized.

Be prepared for the fact that the pike, which was tempted by the bait, will not catch the hook and will leave by the time the fisherman starts hooking.

What other fish are caught this way?

The bottle is used to catch not only pike with live bait; in the current, you can lure another predator in the same way:

pike perch;
soma;
carp

But even with this opportunity, you can even catch live bait with a bottle from the shore. The installation is made from two bottles, the bottom of one is cut off, the neck of the second is cut off in the form of a funnel, and the cross-sectional diameter must be the same. Next, the funnel is inserted into the bottle cut off at the bottom, holes are made using an awl, and parts of the trap are secured with a cord or fishing line.

The finished product is secured on sticks at the bottom of the shallows, having previously poured bread crumb, porridge or a little bit of bait inside and left overnight. In the morning they check the trap and take the catch.

Catching a predator with a bottle is as easy as shelling pears; even a beginner can assemble and display this rig. The pike will definitely appreciate the efforts and will definitely want to feast on the live bait offered to it.

Tubular vents

Tubular vents have become popular with the advent of various materials on the construction market. Fishermen have come up with a new variety - tubular, consisting of a polymer pipe with a diameter of up to 35 mm and a length of up to 70 mm.

Design

The design of the vent is easy to manufacture:

two holes are drilled at the top of the tube;
a length of up to 20 meters and a thickness of no more than 0 5 mm is wound onto a tube;
a sliding sinker weighing up to 15 g is suspended from the girder;
is stopped by a rubber damper;
a swivel with a clasp is tied to the end of the thread;
a section from a bicycle tube up to 2 cm wide is pulled onto the tube in order to fix the girder in the working position.

The principle of operation of the trap

A pike trap works like when fishing with live bait, only the mechanism works automatically, without human intervention, as soon as the predator grabs the prey. The principle of operation of such structures is the same - the activation of an alert mechanism, the capture of the target by the approaching working parts, biting into the victim, securely holding within the radius of the length of the fishing line (chain, leash) attached to a stationary object (stick, pole, bracket).

The working parts of this trap are held in the “alert” position by a corresponding spring, which is released after a bite. A steel mechanism with a strong spring is “able” to catch a predator weighing more than 5 kg.

Groundbait for crayfish

How to catch more fish?

Over 13 years of active fishing, I have found many ways to improve the bite. And here are the most effective:

Bite activator. Attracts fish in cold and warm water with the help of pheromones included in the composition and stimulates its appetite. It’s a pity that Rosprirodnadzor wants to impose a ban on its sale.
More sensitive gear. Read the relevant manuals for a specific type of gear on the pages of my website.
Pheromone-based lures.

You can get the rest of the secrets of successful fishing for free by reading my other materials on the site. It is generally accepted that crayfish are scavengers. This is both true and not true. Of course, they may be attracted to dead fish, meat or poultry. However, crayfish do not neglect other foods: they love melon, and also adore the taste and smell of garlic.

One of the famous treats for them is balls. They are made as follows.

Wrap the bran in a bandage and add pepper, which is used for catching carp. You can also use orange and strawberry flavorings. That’s it, in this form the bait can be placed in the crayfish trap. Usually it is attached with wire to the tackle so that the crayfish does not pull it apart.

Equipment selection

Depending on the time of year, types of fishing differ in the methods and equipment used. In the summer, you can fish from the shore, boat, or pier. In winter, it is better to try your hand at ice fishing or in unfrozen areas of water bodies. Before deciding which fishing rod to buy, you need to decide on the categories of fishing. The most common fishing methods:

Float
Donny.
Spinning.

For the first, most simple one, you will need a float rod, whose simple design and ease of use are suitable for a novice amateur. The advantageous feature of this hobby is the possibility of fishing in fast rivers, quiet lakes, and seas. Fishing with a rod has long been a favorite method, because almost any catch can be caught with its help. Its mandatory elements are a float, a sinker, and a hook.

Real lovers know that cautious fish are afraid to approach the shore when a person is sitting on the shore. At the moment of the bite, he must sharply hook his prey, which becomes frightened by these movements, swims away, and the whole operation ends in failure. For this purpose, a self-hooking fishing rod is used. When the bait is swallowed, the float goes under the water, pulling on the rod. The vibration of the string actuates the latch, which straightens the spring of the device, withdrawing it, performing a cut.

For frosty winter weather, amateurs prefer innovative developments such as an electronic fishing rod

For ice fishing, it is important to maintain the vibration of the jig at a certain frequency, which is difficult in severe frosts. Even beginners can achieve good results using this model.

The variety of models and their purposes will help you choose the type of fishing rod whose price and functionality will allow you to enjoy the exciting, exciting process.

How to make a fishing rod

With all the variety of equipment on offer, many craftsmen prefer homemade devices for fishing. Strong rowan or hazel branches used for fishing rods are oiled and then coated with waterproof varnish. Melted pieces of plastic are used to form a handle, which is adjusted in thickness to the width of your hands.

This rod lasts a long time, outlasting purchased models. A do-it-yourself fishing rod is made to suit your own physiological parameters, is easy to balance, and also helps to avoid financial expenses. If you equip your product with special traps that allow you to catch fish without active participation. The Samol winter fishing rod can work autonomously.

By placing it on the ice in front of the ice hole, you can go away for a while, being sure that the catch in the trap will remain alive. The design of this fishing equipment is simple - it is equipped with wings and sleeves made of a strong net, stretched over wire hoops. Fishing lines with hooks are attached to them and lowered to the depth where the target is likely to appear.

The best bait for self-catching is foam balls attached to metal fasteners. The fence with wings should be installed in the path of the fish. Going around them, she falls into the net. Also, this samolov fishing rod is successfully used for catching crayfish.

Homemade donkey bite light indicator

A homemade donkey bite alarm from a bottle for night fishing is mounted on a printed circuit board, which should either be etched in ferric chloride, or the contours of the conductive areas should be cut with a knife, then the intermediate foil should be removed using the same knife.

Printed circuit board for donkey bite alarm

A printed circuit board for mounting parts of a homemade electronic light signaling device for fish bite on a donk during night fishing is shown in the picture.

In addition to the printed circuit board, to make an electronic signaling device with our own hands, we will need the following purchased parts and home-made structural elements:

2 batteries (rechargeable tablets)

bite alarm switch

tilt sensor, which closes the electrical circuit in the event of a fish biting on a donkey hook.

LED (bright wide angle)

A board made of one-sided foil getinax or fiberglass with dimensions of 50 by 15 mm.

The average voltage drop on electronic LEDs in red and yellow is 2.0 V with a current consumption of 0.02 A. Typically this value ranges from 1.8 - 2.4 V, and for white, blue and green - 3.0 V (3.0 - 3.5 V).

The printed circuit board for a homemade light electronic signaling device for biting a donkey from a bottle can simply be cut out with a homemade cutter made from a piece of a hacksaw blade for metal.

The main requirement for a printed circuit board: its width, together with the hanging elements, must pass through the hole in the neck of the bottle.

Therefore, the bite alarm design is mounted inside a yogurt bottle with a wide neck.

Making an electronic donkey tilt sensor

To make an electronic donkey tilt sensor with your own hands, take a tube with a diameter of 6-8 mm and cut off a 15 mm long part from it.

Then we cut out the side wall of our sensor - a night bite alarm - from sheet brass or tin, and tin it (photo 8).

After this, we cut out the second side wall of the donk bite sensor from foil fiberglass, but only with a short leg.

In the center of the textolite sidewall, we drill a hole into which we screw a small self-tapping screw, the head of which is moistened with flux and tinned (photo 9). The cap should be smaller than the inner diameter of the tube.

On the other hand, we solder the self-tapping screw to the foil on the PCB (photo 10).

Light sensor for donkey bites from a bottle

Assembling the light bite sensor for night donkey from a bottle is carried out in the following order:

We place a metal tube on the textolite sidewall so that the screw head is in the center and does not touch its walls.

Glue it in this position. The tube for the light bite sensor can be securely glued to the base with PU glue or epoxy resin (photo 11).

Preparing to fill the bite alarm sensor:

We take a copper wire and carefully clean it until it shines. Then we bite pieces of copper wire 10-11 mm long and stuff the sensor with them, so that the wire pieces completely occupy the free space in the tube.

But at the same time, the package of pieces of wire should move freely inside the homemade sensor of the electronic light fish bite indicator (photo 12).

Then we solder the metal sidewall to the tube and seal the sensor of the electronic light bite alarm with glue. The free play of the wire in the sensor should be approximately 3 mm.

Comments from the site administrator https://99ll.ru/

Looking ahead a little... The operation of the donk bite indicator light sensor in night fishing conditions is very simple. Essentially, a signaling device is a current breaker in an electrical circuit.

If there are no bites, all wire scraps are in the sensor tube and their ends should not come into contact with the self-tapping screw screwed into the side insulator. In photo 13 it is on the right.

Assembling a light bite indicator

To conclude the production of a light indicator for fish biting on a bottle donk, we will directly assemble the electronic device into a single whole.

To begin with, we assemble and place all the elements of the electronic circuit on the bite alarm light board, solder them on the side of the etched and tinned surface of the board.

Then we attach the board using a nut under the lid of a yogurt bottle. To attach the board, we cut out a brass plate, drill a hole in it for the passage of a screw, and bend it at a right angle.

We solder the bent part of the plate without a hole to the side strip of tinned foil (in photo 7 it is on the left)

All! Our homemade donka with fishing equipment tied to a yogurt bottle and an electronic light indicator for fish bites at night is completely ready! Let's check its functionality.

North

our country. Nord looks like a fish tank. That is, this is the fish tank, the neck

I would have thought about it if I hadn’t tried to catch this miracle. Here is how it was,

I arrived in a village located in the forests. I was asked

go fishing. When I arrived at the lake, I was taken aback, the lake

kilometers of flooded trees and bushes turning into a swamp.

I will not say anything about the fish that are caught there, because I have the same coloring of crucian carp

never saw. So, having arrived there, I was handed a fishing rod with

picking up a rigid, non-bending fish tank with a neck that was

directed inwards, wandered through the “swamp”. Having found an open area, I

drowned the Nord, into which he had previously poured bread, and tied it to

get the nord. How surprised I was when, having taken out this miracle, I discovered

There are two dozen crucian carp inside. There I also learned that the Nord, made from

hard materials you can catch crayfish, you just need bait

use “rotten” meat.

Secrets of a good catch

Summer girders are used in reservoirs with different currents. If the river is stormy, then choose a large bottle; a small bottle will quickly be carried away by the current. Do not let the tackle out of sight; secure the pole with a cord on a long stick. Use a fishing line or cord that is brown in color. The white color can scare away predatory fish from the bait.

To ensure that the baitfish does not lose activity, place it on the hook correctly. Pass the line through the mouth and gills, and tie on the tee. You can place the bait under the dorsal fin, but this requires skill so as not to pierce or break the fish's spine. Catch live bait in the same reservoir in which pike fishing takes place.

Summer fishing with the help of a girder is used by all pike fishermen. You can make fishing tackle right on the shore of a reservoir. Manufacturing does not require much time and effort, and you will be able to go fishing where a spinning rod and fishing rod are useless.
