Fishing is not only a great pastime, but also an exciting hobby and sport. There are often cases when, in addition to the loss of the catch, the jig also swims away. The average price of this fishing tackle is 20 - 500 rubles. But why waste money if the jig can be made at home.
It is necessary
- - thin brass or copper tin,
- - scissors,
- -tweezers,
- -Matchbox,
- - pliers, - wire cutters, - file,
- - 40 watt soldering iron,
- - nichrome wire (you can get it by disassembling the old 50 watt 24 Ohm resistor),
- - soldering materials: soldering acid (flux), solder, rosin, tin pieces and graphite grease.
Instructions
Step 1
"Bite" small pieces of solder with pliers or wire cutters, since such small pieces are more convenient when soldering to the jigs' body itself - the pieces stick better to the soldering iron and melt faster than if you take the solder from a single piece with a soldering iron.
Step 2
Cut out a workpiece from a tin using nippers that resembles a future jig in shape. The jig (and hence the blank for it) can be made in any size you need.
Step 3
Make a hole in the resulting workpiece with a needle approximately in the middle.
Step 4
Treat the blunt edge of the hook with soldering acid (flux) and irradiate it with a pre-prepared soldering iron.
Step 5
Pinch the sharp edge of the hook with tweezers.
Step 6
Place the blank on a matchbox (pre-weighted with small bolts and nuts) so that the edges obtained by making a hole (step 2) would be inside the jig. The matchbox should be placed at a slight slope so that the hot melted tin would drip more towards the thick end of the jig. That is, if the box lies straight, then the tin will be evenly distributed over the surface, and this is not necessary at all.
Step 7
Treat the nichrome wire with graphite grease (this is necessary so that our hole does not disappear during soldering) and insert it into the hole. Use the same wire to pierce the box to secure the future jig on it.
Step 8
Lubricate the workpiece with flux and irradiate with a soldering iron.
Step 9
Use tweezers to press the hook against the brass blank.
Step 10
Solder the hook to the future jig using a soldering iron and pieces of tin.
Step 11
Remove the nichrome wire from our jig using pliers - a hole has formed in the jig.
Step 12
File the surface and sharp edges of the jig. If the hole for the fishing line is small, then it can be increased using a gimbal.
Step 13
Equip the jig with beads or colored beads, if desired, for a better future catch.
