We make a feeder rod with our own hands

By a simplified definition, feeder tackle- this is a donka equipped with a feeder.

All other additions, including test readings of the rod, its action, the presence of a quiver tip, the weight of the feeder, are nothing more than convenience in the process of fishing.

In Kazakhstan, for example, back in the sixties, they successfully caught and are now catching three to five kilogram carp per bottom with a feeder. The equipment is simple: ordinary spinning, inertial reel of the “Neva” type with a ratchet, two or three short leashes are mounted on the main line, a sinker-feeder is fixed at the end of the main line 40 cm - 50 cm from the last hook, weighing 80 g - 100 g.

Spinning on the shore is on a stand. The coil remains with the ratchet engaged. Tackle is thrown by hand. Casting accuracy and distance depend on experience, as, indeed, the owner of the classic feeder gear. A bite and, often, the cutting itself is signaled by a ratchet of the reel.

Of course, this tackle is not for professional athletes. For them, the "purity of the genre" is paramount. But for lovers, it may well replace expensive feeder tackle. However, it is possible to get closer to the classic feeder assembly by remaking the spinning rod or adding some details to it.

Do-it-yourself feeder rod

Unfortunately from scratch do-it-yourself feeder rod impossible to do. In any case, you will have to purchase blanks and parts in the form of tubular material, rings, special types of glue, etc.

It's easier to redo spinning suitable for this.

Picker from spinning

For alteration, you need to buy a very hard winter nod and spinning fast building. The elastic band of the nod is carefully cut with a sharpened knife and inserted through the cut onto the tip of the spinning rod (photo 1).

The fishing line is pulled through all the rings, including the nod ring.

The inconvenience lies in the fact that when casting, you need to retract the nod to the end, and after casting, pull it to the desired length, given the strength of the current.

Tip insert

A piece of TV antenna tube is mounted on top of the tip of the spinning rod suitable for the diameter of the purchased tip. The top is equipped with a tulip and, if necessary, an additional ring (photo 2).

Flaw- weak sensitivity, which does not allow to determine a cautious bite.

Quiver type insert

Tulip spinning is removed with pliers and heat. Inside hollow tip, if the diameter allows, a quiver-type is inserted and fixed with a thread winding, capturing the tip of the spinning rod as well.

If the tip is intact, small pieces are cut off from it until a hollow inside appears, suitable in diameter for inserting a quiver-type (photo 3).

The disadvantage is the inability to restore spinning.

Fiberglass rod feeder

Buy a set of quiver types. The tip of the rod is removed. A sleeve is machined from a suitable material, which plays the role of an adapter. The outer diameter of the sleeve should be similar to the inner diameter of the second section of the rod. Into the inner hole of the sleeve interchangeable quiver types are inserted (photo 4).

Perhaps the best option alterations and in price, and in sensitivity, and in ease of use.

It is possible that someone will come up with the easiest way to make a feeder rod with your own hands. Desire is a great power. Whoever wants, he will certainly find the opportunity to realize what he wants.
