For fishing in winter, you need not only special tackle, but also such necessary tools as an ice screw and an ice pick. The foot is used in commercial fishing where wider holes are needed for betting nets. Also, an ice pick can help out a fisherman in the event that a large predator that does not crawl into the hole is caught on the girder.
It is necessary
- Leaf springs (old rasp, file)
- Pipe (diameter 70-80 mm)
- Wooden handle (shank)
- Vise
- Rope
Instructions
Step 1
The chisel knife can be made from a spring steel sheet. If it is problematic to get the sheet, then the best knives are obtained from old files or rasps. The main thing is that they are of a wide profile. The rasp or file must be sharpened well on one side as follows. It is best to do this in a locksmith's vice, holding the rasp in a horizontal position. One-sided chamfer is cut off with a grinder or grinded with a large emery.
Step 2
On the other end of the rasp, you need to weld a part of the iron pipe so that the handle-handle is inserted into it. For additional fixing of the handle in the upper part of the tube and the pawn knife, you need to drill a hole into which a nail or self-tapping screw will be inserted.
Step 3
The handle of the pawns can be made from a regular shovel or pitchfork handle. The handle must be inserted into the welded knife tube and fixed.
Step 4
For the convenience of using the paw, you need to make a loop for the hand on the top of the handle. To do this, you need to make a hole, pass the cord and tie it with a strong knot. This will allow you not to lose the ice when punching a hole.
