How to make a cicada?


On catchability a bait, as the cicada is legendary. One of the fishermen says that cicadas come to the rescue, even in moments of complete lack of bite. Another part says that the cicada predator does not bite at all. I decided to make the bait at home, at the same time wanted to use the minimum amount of tools. The result was a lure, which can without much trouble and expense to anyone fishing. The main feature of my method of making homemade cicadas is that all used tools and materials can be found at home. Is that if there is no plaster, will buy or make repairs to ask the neighbors. It should not cast a lot and find it does not make much of a problem.




Tools and materials

For the manufacture of cicadas, we need the following tools and materials:

Tool. A knife, a small chisel, a hacksaw (if available a small grinder, the work will go much faster), a drill with a set of small diameter drill bit (if not drill the holes for the hook, and fastener can be made smaller or dowel rod sharpened). The material for the thin petals, therefore, making holes with a problem should arise. Sandpaper of varying grits and pasta GOI, to give the gloss lobe future of our lures. Also, we need the capacity to make a plaster form. In principle, any suitable cardboard box, but you can make a box of thin plates or sheets of plywood. So, from what will be done by the foundation for the plaster forms, the quality of future products will have no effect. To shape the petals, you will need a flat and round file. Pencil or marker. A sheet of paper. Dishes for mixing plaster. It is desirable to choose dishes from a soft plastic, then such container is easier to clean the remnants of plaster.

Materials. First, it is sheet metal for the manufacture of blades for future cicadas. This is mainly copper, brass, bronze and stainless steel. It is easiest to work with copper and brass, as these materials respond well to treatment. I advise you to use the sheet metal thickness from 0.4 to 0.8 mm. The thicker it will be bad "play" with the wiring, because of the greater weight. The petals of a thin material can not withstand the load jerks big fish and the fish just go away with the double or the whole cicada. You can also use galvanized sheet metal, over time, it fades and becomes dull. This color is a good bait to use to clear water, when it is too bright petals can scare away the fish. The main lobe of the production not to damage the galvanized. With regard to the fact that the zinc rusts, I can say one thing - if a petal carefully polished, it will have virtually no rust. I have a homemade petals from rotating spinners, they are a year and they are not a bit rusted. While they were in the water repeatedly.

Also, we need to lead. Of lead, we'll do a future cargo bait. Better to take a soft lead with antimony, it is easier to work with. Typically, a shell from the cable and the battery lead. When working with lead follow basic safety precautions.

Clay, we need to make an exact copy of a future bait. Clay can use any.

Gypsum. We need to cast the form in which we cast lures. Now I use a dry construction mixtures based on gypsum. JAFI forms longer, but at the same time, they are more durable. If the plaster mold dries well, it is not enough for a dozen castings.

The process of making cicada lures ...

First, on a sheet of paper draw the outline of the future lobe. Cut and carry on a sheet of metal. You can draw directly on a sheet of tin.




Cut. Process a file, removing burrs. This will be the template. In the future, it will be to cut the remaining leaves. Now take the clay. The most important thing to calculate the weight of the future of our lures. I am doing is simple, take a ball of clay with a diameter comparable to the big-eared load "Cheburashka". The accuracy of plus or minus 1gramm. Can be calculated by the formula, but I think it's faster and easier. Exactly in the middle of a plasticine ball sticks, our petal, and attach the form we need. We do it with a knife and a small, semi-round gouges.



As a result, you should get an exact copy of the cicadas.



Prepare a box to make a plaster form. To fill in exactly (approximately) half of the box with plaster, inside, draw a pencil or a marker label. Dilute plaster and fill in the form of a half. Gypsum should be diluted to a thick cream. We take our copy of the cicadas, one half of the oil the oil (vegetable fits the usual) and presses a half in the plaster.




It is also recommended to equip the form of guides to facilitate the combination of the form before casting. They may be from a bulge of plaster or metal pins or balls. Leave to dry. If gypsum is used, then 1-2 hours is enough. If a dry mixture of 5-8 hours. At this stage there is no point in this half completely dried form. After half a dried, oil the surface of the mold and the cicadas oil.



Fill the second half. And waiting for the complete drying. It will take approximately 1-2 days. Completely dried form is light, white light and heard the ringing sound of impact.
While the dry form can engage in the manufacture of petals. If the petals are ready, the faster will be the process of casting lead. Draw the petals on a sheet of metal. Cut. Drill the necessary holes. If you hold the grip of several pieces, they can be simultaneously drilled and obtochit. Grind the workpiece on the sandpaper, going from coarse to fine paper. Polish to a shine. At the point where it will load, drill holes or spend 1.2 times more hacksaw. Since the cargo would be safer to hold on to petal. Drill holes for a shotgun in an amount from 1 to 3 pieces. Later, it will give the opportunity to change the frequency of oscillations in the wiring and the angle bait when posting.




When the form is a little dry out, cut it and dissociate gate and the channel for the air outlet. Doing it with a regular knife. Channel for the air outlet is required in order to lead form filled out completely.







Thus, the form of dried petals can be ready to start casting. Before casting the shape it is desirable to warm up. Insert the lead petal and fill. It is desirable to do on the street or in a well ventilated area. Caution Be careful when working with hot lead! After 1-2 minutes take out a ready and prepare the next cicada.




If you have prepared all the petals, the cast of 10-20 baits not be easy. It will take 30 minutes on the force. Cicada will only handle a little knife, and she is ready. You can once again polished with GOI paste.








It remains to equip our twin bait (always stings to the top) and the bait is completely ready for battle. Equipped with such a bait, a little hooked. Check our job cicadas in the bathroom, and on the lake!
