Instructions for making wobblers with your own hands

The classic spinners were replaced by wobblers that better imitate the behavior of fish. Wobbler building began to gain momentum during the period of shortage of baits. Now you can choose a factory model for price, appearance and properties. But some fishermen prefer to make them on their own, and sometimes home-made wobblers outperform factory counterparts in terms of parameters.

Types of wobblers and their characteristics

Before starting the manufacturing process, you need to familiarize yourself with the accepted classification of baits. You can make several wobblers with your own hands for various fish species, fishing conditions. With the design and characteristics are determined in advance.

Lure types:

• By the nature of behavior in water - floating, sinking, balanced and superficial. Determined by the ratio of material with and without buoyancy.
• By form. Crawler is the best wobbler for chub. A variety of rotational movements are provided by a wide blade in the front of the structure, and cutters are located at the back. However, due to the complexity of the design, their repair is difficult. A homemade wobbler from a toothbrush is made in the shape of a popper. He has a small cut nose, the blades are missing.
• Length and weight. Depends on the size, weight and behavior of the fish. The recommended length is no more than 15 cm. Weight affects the choice of spinning.

Independent wobbler building requires special attention to the preparatory stage - the choice of drawing, material of manufacture. As a basis, you can take the factory model and make a number of improvements to its parameters.

Drawings for manufacturing

For the manufacture of wobblers, you need to draw up a diagram. It will include not only a list of materials, but also their characteristics - size, weight, location and method of fastening in the structure. The simplest model consists of a floating body made in the shape of a fish. A wire with cuts is installed in the longitudinal section. It also performs the functions of a sinker. A blade is mounted in the bow.

The advantage of such wobblers is the ability to make repairs in the field. However, they lack an important factor for bait - no sound waves. Therefore, it is better to make a complex wobbler with your own hands on the recommendation of a professional.

It consists of the following parts:

• Hollow body divided into three chambers.
• Large and small noise chambers located in the frontal part of the bait. To generate sound waves, small plastic balls are placed in them.
• Places for attaching hooks.

The disadvantage is that it is problematic to repair such a design. To make such a beetle wobbler, you will need a complex operation to form cavities in two parts of the workpiece. The recommended material is wood.

Material selection

Most often, wood is used for spinners and wobblers. This material is easy to repair, process and has proper buoyancy. For self-production, you need a minimum of tools that are available in any home workshop. You can use other materials.

Styrofoam

A foam wobbler is used for fishing at the very surface of the water. This is true for places with abundant vegetation. The foam has good buoyancy. For the factory model, a minimum depth of up to 20 cm is required, which may affect the quality of fishing.

Making recommendations:

• choose a foam with a maximum density indicator;
• for external processing use fine-grained sandpaper;
• when mounting cutters and blades, special glue is used;
• a small piece of lead is mounted in the middle part for shipment - a slight deepening.

The advantages of these baits are that they can be quickly made, repairs are done on a fishing trip. It is enough to fill the damaged part of the structure with glue and wait for the final hardening. This is the best wobbler for pike for summer fishing.

Tree

The classic lure was originally made of wood until it was replaced by plastic models. The blank is made from any piece of wood at hand. For accuracy, you need to use patterns. Do-it-yourself lure cutters are better not to do. It is recommended to purchase factory ones to avoid twisting of the fishing line.

Tips for choosing material and manufacturing:

• The easiest way is to make a wobbler from cork or other soft wood - lime, cedar or pine.
• A complex bait with sound chambers is made of two parts. First, one part is made and a mirror is made according to its model.
• An engraver is used for fine work.

Special attention is paid to glue. It should not dissolve in water, while at the same time giving the connection the required reliability. For repairs, you will need to disassemble the bait, which often leads to its breakdown. The way out is to make several models of the same type for quick replacement while fishing.

Resin

If you need to repeat the shape of the factory model as accurately as possible, it is recommended to make a wobbler from epoxy. This will require a form of solid plasticine or clay. On the plate, an imprint of the bait is made on both sides. Subsequently, these recesses are filled with epoxy resin.

Before you make a wobbler, you will need to perform a number of preparatory steps:

• Choose a mold material with a minimum moisture content. After the impression, it is desirable to freeze it to preserve the contours.
• Filler composition. ECF or EDP are used as a basis. You need 9 parts of resin, one part of glue and 8 parts of small chips.
• For floating models, after pouring one part with resin, a wooden insert is installed.

The final stage is grinding and installation of gear. First, it is checked for buoyancy in a container with water. If required, a weight is added. Repair of such a bait is impossible.

Wobblers made from a brush do not have the proper characteristics. The advice of experienced anglers is to spend more time and money to make a truly effective lure.
