Fishing line spider. Spider fishing: making a lift with your own hands and catching fish

A fishing spider is a piece of gear in the form of a mesh net thrown into the water. In this case, the fish is obtained without damage. Operate the device from the shore or a floating craft. The spider is designed for fishing in reservoirs with a small amount of aquatic vegetation. The volume of the catch depends on the characteristics of the pond and luck, since the tackle is not equipped with alarms.

In semi-flowing reservoirs with strong currents, a spider with a rigid base is used. A net with increased sagging is placed on a round or square frame, which allows it not to be overloaded when lifting. The device rests on the bottom with one edge.

Also used in ponds with active currents fishing tackle spider known as a parachute. The configuration of the lift resembles a net, has a large net slack, and is equipped with a frame made of reinforcement or metal rods. A thick rope consisting of four slings is fixed to the base different lengths, the angle of inclination of the structure is 45°. The diameter of the network cells is 50−90 mm. The device is designed for large fish. The optimal place for fishing with such gear are bridges, under which the movement of water is maximum. One end of the rope is fixed to the bridge railing for insurance, and the other end is held by the spider in the pond.

Among homemade models the cradle is popular. It is assembled from metal (galvanized) mesh measuring 500/500 or 1500/1500 mm. The cross section of the cells is 5−20 mm. The net is slightly bent, attached to the four corners of the rods, tied together, and fixed on ropes. Fishing with a spider cradle is done by regular casting or pulling it out of the water at an angle of 45°.

Fishing tactics

To successfully fish for any spider, you need to know the topography of the pond. Experienced fishermen choose places:

• with a slight slope;
• next to a snag or log;
• near water thickets;
• under bridges or near the bottom of a pit.

After choosing a place for fishing, the spider is thrown into the water and periodically checked for catch. This method of fishing is suitable for daytime and nighttime. To simplify the procedure of pulling out a massive structure, another rope is attached to the pole.

Large stationary lifts make spider fishing much easier. They are fixed motionless and equipped with a mechanism that makes it easier to retrieve the net with the catch. Such devices are prohibited by law for amateur fishing.

Making your own spider

Do-it-yourself fishing spiders are made from various materials in several ways. The simplest solution is to connect a pair of metal rods and a ring for fastening the rope by welding.

Then the edges of the rods are bent so that the mesh fits on them with a slight sag. The dimensions of the device and cells are selected depending on the expected catch. A factory-made small spider for catching live bait can also be bought in fishing stores.

Homemade spider of collapsible design

A fishing rod in the shape of a fishing spider can have a collapsible design. To make it you need a cross and metal rods. The length of the elements is selected taking into account the desired dimensions of the elevator being designed. If the length of each side is more than one meter, the tackle is legally classified as poaching tools. In the finished product, the racks can be removed from the crosspiece or disassembled themselves, increasing compactness.

The idea is implemented in two ways:

• using a threaded connection. It is practical and effective, but has one drawback - the complexity of the disassembly and assembly process of the gear. But in terms of reliability, it ranks first among analogues;
• option using pieces of pipe. In such a device, the rod is placed in place without gaps. A similar fastening method is used in plug rods. Half of the tube is welded to the foot of the tackle, the second part remains open and is easy to clean.

The speed and convenience of disassembling the lift play a role important role. It is easier to transport, use and store. It is not necessary to use metal parts during the manufacturing process. For a small network, a structure made of flexible wood is quite suitable.

Big spiders

Fishermen in some remote and remote places use huge lifts. It’s not easy to pull out such devices even empty. To solve the problem, mechanical advanced devices are used that facilitate the fishing process and strengthen the spider’s frame.

In small lifts you can use aluminum, in serious modifications - only iron. Instead of rope, a steel cable is often used. A special roller is mounted on the edge of the pole of the dimensional spiders, and the tackle is lifted using a winch. The characteristics of such structures guarantee the capture of valuable large fish. Poachers use this method even during spawning. This is illegal and punishable by fines or imprisonment.

Features of winter fishing with a homemade spider

1. A rope is tied to the tackle, which is used to pull out the prey. The second edge is attached to a pier or other stable object. Additionally, a wooden pole is mounted for additional fixation of the rope.
2. Wear gloves to protect against cold and injury while retrieving the catch.
3. The use of a spider when fishing from the shore involves attaching another pole, which plays the role of a landing net, facilitating convenient casting and pulling of the lift.
4. It is better to fish in familiar and well-known areas. The presence of circular currents increases the chances of good catch.
5. Night fishing is sometimes more productive than day fishing.

Experienced fishermen note that large fish often bypass the spider trap. Several tricks are used to lure her:

• take a large sheet of tin;
• paint it with moisture-resistant paint;
• press the element with weights in the corners, fix it with a rope;
• lower the lift into the water to the level of the painted part;
• the paint should contrast with the color of the equipment.

At shallow depths, it is possible to see the outlines of a large fish, having time to slam the trap while it is in the center of the net.

Small juveniles are caught using a similar principle. Only instead of metal mesh they use tulle. During the spawning period, choose a place that allows you to throw a small lift into the water and pull it out by simply pulling the safety rope.

Anglers of all levels can purchase a spider in stores or make one themselves. The advantages of the equipment include the ability to use it at any time of the year. Depending on the planned volume of fishing and the characteristics of the reservoir, the size and material of the spiders are calculated. As practice shows, the considered safe and effective method fishing is popular throughout Russia and beyond.

A fishing spider is a very simple device for catching fish; perhaps the only simpler thing is its use. Previously, it consisted of metal rods, now metal-plastic, plastic rods, etc. are used. These rods are secured in the crosspiece, and a net is pulled between their ends.

Types of spiders

Spiders are divided into several types depending on the design features and type of application:

• Classic tetrahedral.
• A more advanced “brother” is the hexagonal one.
• Shell spiders, tetrahedral and hexagonal.

Regular, for fishing in summer

For fishing in summer, a regular tetrahedral lifting spider is most often used. The reason is its ease of use. In addition, such a design is so simple that if you have a mesh and 4 rods (4 rods are easier to find than 6), assembling the structure is not difficult. Lure is placed in the net, the fish are collected for feeding, the fisherman pulls and it folds and pulls out the catch.

For winter fishing

Winter fishing is not much different from summer fishing. The only feature is the selection of a drill for wider holes so that the spider can easily enter and exit the hole. The bait is placed in the center of the spider, and it sinks to the bottom, there it “opens up”, the fish feeds, the fisherman lifts the spider, it folds, and the fisherman takes it out of the hole with the fish.

This method is used to catch live bait to equip the girders. It is worth understanding that the ice spider has some differences from products for open water fishing.

Large spiders

Naturally, the larger the spider, the higher the potential catch. Therefore, many fishermen have a weakness for large products, but it should be noted that the larger the size, the physically more difficult it is to lift the device out of the water. The largest spiders use fishing boats, but there is a special lifting mechanism. Some countries allow fishing for small spiders, but large ones are considered a poaching device. Therefore, before using this fishing tackle, study the fishing legislation of your country. If you are carried away by sizes, do not break the laws and common sense. A large product is usually fished from a boat, so it will be more convenient for the fisherman.

Best places to catch spiders

The best places are thickets of reeds (naturally, next to thickets of reeds - you can’t throw a spider into the thickets and “drown”) and places near trees growing in a pond.

Technique of use

You need to be able to use this wonderful tackle in every sense. The technique of its use is divided into several types, although in essence they are all quite similar.

• From the shore. In this case, the fisherman secures the spider on a strong base, which is often used as a shaft or the trunk of a small tree. A spider is tied to it and thrown into the water. In some ways, this device will be similar to a fishing rod, but instead of a fishing line, a rope is used, and instead of a fishing rod, a thick shaft is used.
• From a bridge or pier. A fisherman can use a "lever" device where the railing of a bridge or pier acts as a fulcrum. In this case, you can use a larger spider. Otherwise, this technique is extremely similar to the spider fishing technique from the shore.
• In winter. As mentioned above, it is impossible to use a large spider in winter. The reason is the size of the hole. A spider for winter fishing should be small in size, no larger than the hole that your drill can make. Otherwise, it will be impossible to get the catch out of the water.

Making your own spider

Materials and tools

• Metal pipes, preferably light metal. Aluminum is ideal.
• Metal tube for the cross.
• A fishing net that is stretched over a structure.
• Rope (pulling a lift on a fishing line is extremely problematic).
• Durable handle (in villages a shaft was used as standard).
• Hacksaw and hammer.
• The most problematic and expensive tool for assembly is a welding machine.
• Schemes and drawings.

Manufacturing and assembly technology

Anyone can make a homemade spider, the main thing is desire and a little ingenuity.

• First, the crosspiece is made. You will need a hammer to flatten the pipes. Next, using a welding machine, we fasten the pipes perpendicularly by welding. Welding will also be required to weld a ring to the crosspiece, to which a rope will be tied to lift the spider and immerse it in water.
• The second stage - using a hacksaw, we make notches on the aluminum arches to tightly fasten the fishing net. Of course, the arches themselves must fit very tightly to the structure.
• The third stage is attaching the mesh. It needs to be secured in such a way that it sag slightly, otherwise if the net is simply stretched, the fish will easily leave your tackle. But the network should hang down a little, because what more network, the harder it is to get a spider out of a pond, especially with a catch.
• When the metal rods have entered the crosspiece and the structure has been assembled, you need to fasten a rope to the crosspiece ring, and securely attach its second end to the shaft so as not to miss the spider. For these purposes, a path is sharpened with a knife at the point of attachment to the shaft. Thus, the rope is held not only by the knot, but also, as it were, “bites” into the tree.

Fine for catching a spider

Fishing with a spider is not prohibited in the Russian Federation if the size of the gear does not exceed 1x1 m. A larger spider is considered a poaching device, and a fine may be imposed for its use in the amount of 2000 rubles. You can also get a fine when catching certain types of fish during spawning, if fishing for them is prohibited in your region during this period.

Of course, it is prohibited to fish for a large spider, which cannot be lifted by a person on his own, and vehicles and mechanisms are used to lift it. A similar violation is set out in Article 256, paragraph “B”: “Illegal extraction (catch) of aquatic biological resources using a self-propelled floating vehicle or explosive and chemicals, electric current or other methods of mass extermination of the specified aquatic animals and plants.”

Also, under this article, you can be subject to criminal liability when catching fish even with a 1x1 m spider at the time of spawning (point “B”): “in spawning areas or on migration routes to them.”

The punishment for such acts is truly severe. The mildest is a fine of 100 to 300 thousand rubles or correctional labor for a period of 2 years, the alternative is a prison term of 6 months.

Therefore, use this device for fishing You need to pay attention to the laws in order to get pleasure from fishing, and not fines and other unpleasant consequences.

A tackle like " spider"Designed for fishing both in summer and winter. For many centuries, such a lift was considered a convenient tackle for fishermen. Making a “spider” yourself does not require much effort or money, and the fishing process is very interesting and, as a rule, gives good results. Therefore, such tackle among fishermen is considered a popular means of catching large quantities fish.

Spider for winter fishing - how to make it yourself?

First you need to decide on the size of the “spider”. Depending on the fish that the angler is going to catch, this tackle can be with large cells for large fish and small cells for small fish. Of course, the size of the “spider” needs to be increased if you plan to catch big catch fish.

It is equally important to take into account your physical capabilities, because the larger the catch, the more difficult it will be to pull it out.

To assemble a homemade “spider” yourself you will need the following elements:

1. aluminum pipes for arcs;
2. metal pipes for the cross;
3. nylon mesh;
4. rope;
5. pole for the handle;
6. hammer with hacksaw;
7. welding machine.

We begin to assemble the “spider”.

1. First you need to make a cross. You will have to flatten the pipes with a hammer so that there are no holes in them. Then weld them together perpendicularly. Weld a ring on top of the crosspiece, where you can then tie a rope.
2. The next stage will be aluminum arches, which must adhere tightly to the structure. Small notches must be made at their ends in order to strengthen the network. For this you will need a hacksaw.
3. Then you need to secure the mesh so that it sags a little, but is not too tight. When pulled, the fish will easily leave the resulting trap. You can buy the mesh or knit it yourself.
4. Next, you need to tie a rope to the ring on the crosspiece and secure its other end to the pole.

You can see the structure of the spider in the drawings.

We can say that the simplest version of a small lift has been made, and with its help you can pull fish from the shore.

Those who wish to make a larger lift will need to tie additional rope to the end of the pole, while providing support at the near end of the pole. And when the fisherman pulls the fish, the tackle will also rise. The support can be a stone or any other heavy load.

For people with greater capabilities, it is possible to make a lift of much larger dimensions than the previous two. Naturally, this will require enormous strength. Therefore, you will need serious equipment.

To prepare this tackle, the pole must be securely strengthened so that it does not change position with a large load. At its far end you need to install a roller where the rope will roll, and place a winch nearby. You can also find a strong tree and attach a pole to it. This will simplify the installation of the winch.

For a huge lift, you will have to replace the rope with a cable and use materials in the form of iron pipes and arcs.

Simple small “spiders” are pulled out of the water by tugging at the rope with your hands. This method is more common from a pier or bridge. If an angler uses a “spider” from a boat, then a long pole will be required.

Self-expanding spider for winter fishing

In the principle of operation of a self-expanding “spider”, reliability is important.

According to experts, difficulties may arise:

• unfolding the tackle;
• held tackle cords often do not come together, which leads to problems in removing this device from under the ice.

How to make a spider self-expand:

1. increase the weight of the tackle base with lead weights;
2. It is advisable to use a float with a fixing cord;
3. the cords must be passed through the ring of the adjacent “beam”.

Spider - umbrella for winter fishing

A tackle such as an “umbrella” is used more often for winter fishing than in other seasons. It also has another name, which came from the Far East - grabber.

To make an “umbrella” yourself will require effort, as well as basic knowledge and patience.

The easiest option for collecting this gear:

• 4 knitting needles for the frame;
• 4 springs;
• nylon net with cells;
• lead sinker;
• fishing line;
• 4 rods for fishing line;
• cord;
• wire;
• float;
• PVC tape.

Manufacturing process:

1. Weight of the central sinker will depend on the flow of the river or lake, the depth and size of the gear.
2. Springs are inserted into the sinker, with the help of which the “umbrella” opens and does not prevent it from closing when rising.
3. Rods are embedded in springs.
4. The coils are wrapped with PVC tape so that during lifting and bending the springs do not cling to the net.
5. The fishing line, which is attached to the sinker, is connected by the weight part and the float.
6. The float pulls out the vertical part"umbrella".
7. Pull made from fishing line, secured to the end of one of the rods.
8. The rod is pulled to the spoke through the cells, and then thread them through a wire ring attached to the end.
9. Then they pass the fishing line through the cells wing and between the float hole.
10. Above the float they fasten into a knot 4 fishing lines and mount them with a pulling cord.
11. Then the central line is secured with a float without connecting it with a cord.

Only when the entire procedure is done correctly will the “umbrella” function perfectly.

The advantages of this gear are:

• ensuring a large catch;
• catching different types of fish;
• fishing in any season.

Along with the popular “umbrellas,” there are models that are equipped with additional floating cords and a central vertical spoke. They allow you to lower the tackle to the bottom of a reservoir or river without any problems.

To catch in winter or early spring more fish, you must adhere to the following principles:

1. into a cut hole lower the umbrella top part down;
2. based on grid secure the bait;
3. lower the umbrella to the bottom, and when it touches a hard surface it immediately opens;
4. when catching fish You need to sharply pull the cord and the “umbrella” will fold, trapping the prey.

Cross for winter spider

Based on the above, the “spider” consists of metal rods mounted on a crosspiece and a mesh stretched between them.

The crosspiece is made of steel - a spring is fixed to a special structure using a bolt, which determines the operation of all other parts.

When fishing from a bridge, a rope is tied to the crosspiece. If you are fishing from the shoreline, you will need a long pole, with the help of which the lift will be delivered to the farthest fishing point.

Spider for winter fishing - price and where to buy?

You can buy such tackle for catching small or large fish in the Pan Rybolov online store by placing an order or in fishing stores. The winter lift is easy to use and has several sizes ranging from a meter to one and a half meters. In winter it is convenient to fish on such a lift, and you can lower it into the hole using a rope.

The price of a canvas for a “spider” measuring 1x1 m is: 340 rubles in St. Petersburg in the “Fisherman’s Shop” store. Delivery within the city 500 rubles .

You can also order a 20-cell spider mesh, which will be useful for repairing gear.

You can also select the following characteristics in the online store when placing an order:

1. type of gear;
2. canvas;
3. cell;
4. height;
5. length;
6. price.

A small “spider” for winter fishing can be purchased in a complete set for 800 rubles. A large "spider", accordingly, will cost more.

Spider fishing

When a fisherman has chosen a fishing spot, the following rules must be followed:

1. Tie a rope to the tackle, thanks to which you can pull out prey. The other end can be tied to the pier so that the “spider” does not float away. You can also put a wooden stake and attach a rope to it.
2. Gloves should be worn so as not to damage your hands with the rope when you have to handle it with the catch.
3. If you use a spider from the shore, then you need to tie a pole to it, with the help of which it will be convenient to throw and pull this tackle out of the water.
4. Usual place for fishing will be a plus, especially if it has a horizontal bottom. If there are circular movements currents, the chance of catching more fish may increase.
5. Night fishing will give good results than the daytime one. All that remains is to periodically raise the “spider” to the surface and check for the presence of a catch.

Selecting a location

Before you start fishing with a spider, you first need to check the fishing spot.

To do this you will need to do the following:

• Check the bottom of a river or pond: There should be no periodic tilting.
• It's worth fishing there where fish stay to spawn.
• Fishing spot you should look where there is:
  • narrowing river bed;
  • backwater with a circular current;
  • near the snag;
  • at the bottom of the pit;
  • near the reeds;
  • at inactive structures.

Usually fishing with a “spider” is done blindly. You just need to frequently check the tackle for the presence of caught fish. If you didn’t manage to catch something right away, you can make a few more attempts and move to another place. However, if the fish swims in a school, then fishing with a “spider” will pay off.

Experts note that large fish often avoid the spider. To lure her into a trap, smart people came up with a method of “fishing with iron.”

To do this you need to do the following:

1. take a large sheet tin;
2. paint the sheet white waterproof paint;
3. press it tightly with stones in the corners and secure with rope;
4. lower the spider into the water so that the net is on the painted surface.

At shallow depths, you can see the silhouette of a large fish, and when the prey swims to the center of the “spider,” the trap can be closed and the catch taken out. Thus, fishing will become more exciting, and it will be possible to catch even the most cautious fish, like trout.

Fishing for young fish using a small “spider” is based on a similar principle. Only in this case, instead of a net, they take homemade tulle, and at the moment when the fish swims into the center of the trap, all that remains is to pull the rope and pull out the prey.

You can choose a place for fishing among the spawning grounds, but only use a smaller “spider”. Lifting here will be carried out using a regular pole, without a winch.

The following are most often caught with this type of gear:

• carp;
• crucian carp;
• perches;
• pike, etc.

Fine for catching a spider

Fishing for a spider is not prohibited, but only if its size is not more than 1 x 1 m. Otherwise, the fine will be 2000 RUR .

In conclusion, it can be noted following points winter fishing for "spider":

1. Based on your physical capabilities, anglers can purchase small or large gear. Its collection is not particularly difficult if you follow all the necessary elements.
2. For making your own “umbrella” It will take a lot of effort, so most fishermen prefer to buy them in stores.
3. Advantages of this gear will provide a large catch of a variety of fish at any time of the year.
4. Disadvantages of the "spider" This is due to the incorrect layout of the gear and cords, which often do not converge on it and can cause problems when fishermen remove the “spider” from under the ice.
5. Spider cost for fry does not require large expenditures. Those who are going to catch a large catch will need a lot of gear and labor.
6. If you choose the right place for fishing and adhere to the rules of fishing with a “spider”, any angler will be satisfied with his activity and catch.

Fishing with a spider is a controversial phenomenon. Most fishermen consider the tackle to be poaching, while supporters of such fishing, on the contrary, argue that this is a virtually non-injurious fishing method that is safer for aquatic inhabitants than any equipment with hooks. Legislation in most regions is still on the side of opponents - the spider, or as it is also called a fishing lift, can be legally used for catching fry. For this purpose, restrictions have been established on the size of the network itself and its cells and no more than a meter per meter and a centimeter per centimeter, respectively. In places remote from frequented fishing routes, you can see large structures of this kind, equipped with special lifting mechanisms. But such tackle is illegal and is used by those who like easy catches at their own peril and risk.

Spider for fishing - a simple design both in use and in self-production. It consists of metal rods fixed in a cross and a net stretched between their ends, bending during the fishing process and holding the fish inside. There are also options with small side walls, also mesh, preventing attempts small fish escape.

For fishing from bridges and piers, a rope is simply tied to the crosspiece. If the spider is used from the shore, then in addition for normal operation of the tackle you will need a pole of the appropriate length to ensure delivery of the lift to the fishing point remote from the shore.

Photo 1. Spider and black when folded.

Fishing with a spider does not involve visual monitoring or any indicators of the presence of fish; the lift is simply checked at certain intervals, depending on the characteristics of the reservoir, the fish that are planned to be caught, and not least on the personal preferences of the angler. Sometimes bait is also used. It is thrown into the net when it is already installed at the bottom, but more often it is done without feeding.

Important! If the depth at the fishing spot is shallow and the bottom is light (for example, sandy), then you can use polarized glasses - it will be easier to see the fish without the glare of the sun.

Application tactics

There are no special tricks when fishing with a lift. If an angler knows well the features of the bottom of a reservoir, this significantly increases the chances of a big catch. You should choose flat areas and places with a slight slope:

• not far from some snag;
• near a stone;
• near thickets of aquatic vegetation;
• under a wall of reeds;
• at the bottom of the pit.

After this, you should periodically lift the tackle and check for the presence of a catch. Such fishing will be successful both during the day and at night, and sometimes at night the catches can be greater than during the day. When using larger lifts, there is a way to simplify the process of pulling the net out of the water: you need to attach another rope to the end of the pole, where the spider itself is already tied, and pull the tackle out by it, having first found a reliable support for the pole on the shore.

Photo 2. Lowering the spider into the water.

In the case of a stationary lift, it is even simpler; there is no need to select a fishing point. Such spiders have large sizes, and as a result, they are installed motionless and equipped with a mechanism that facilitates the lifting of a heavy net with a catch. Sometimes a sheet of metal painted white is lowered to the bottom of the lift under the structure and secured there, most often simply by rolling the corners with massive stones. This improvement makes it possible to assess the presence of catch in the net, although particularly wary fish may be scared off by a very bright and prominent area of ​​the bottom.

Photo 3. “Trophies” in the grid.

Important! It should be borne in mind that large stationary spiders are definitely not a fishing gear approved for recreational fishing.

Making your own spider

A DIY fishing spider can be made from different materials and in slightly different ways. It all depends on what the fisherman has on hand and what size net he plans to create. The simplest solution if you have a welding machine in cases where you need a small lift for catching live bait is to simply weld two metal rods in the middle, and weld a ring there for attaching the rope.

After this, you should bend the ends of the rods and attach a piece of net of suitable size to them so that it only sag slightly. The size of the mesh and the thickness of the fishing line from which the lift is made are selected according to the expected catch. A factory-made small spider for catching live bait can also be bought in fishing stores.

Photo 4. The crosspiece is enlarged.

This tackle can also have a collapsible design. To do this, you will need a crosspiece, and the same metal rods, the length of which must be selected based on the desired dimensions of the future lift (but if the sides are more than a meter long, this will already be considered poaching gear). The spider's legs can not only be removed from the crosspiece, but they themselves can have a collapsible design, thereby increasing the compactness when disassembled.

There are two ways to implement this.

1. The first - thread, provides a strong connection, but there is also a drawback. If clogged, problems may arise with assembling and disassembling the gear.
2. A more reliable option is to use pieces of pipe into which the rod fits without a gap - a similar connection method is used in rods of a plug design, which means you don’t have to worry about reliability. Part of the tube is welded to the spider's leg, while the other part remains open and is easier to clean due to the lack of threads.

The ability to disassemble the lift is very important not only when traveling to a remote body of water, but also if your favorite fishing spots are located in hard-to-reach areas of a river or pond.

When making a spider, it is not even necessary to use metal parts. If the net is small, then flexible wooden rods are sufficient, but when such a fishing lift gets into a more or less serious catch, this may result in the equipment breaking. And in order to catch live bait, even such an unreliable design is enough.

Large spiders

Fishermen (albeit more likely poachers) in quiet places far from busy paths use lifts so large that a person is unable to pull such a structure ashore even empty, not to mention the additional weight of fish and algae caught in the net. In such situations, they resort to the use of mechanical improvements that make it easier to pull out the net, and the spider itself is made with a much greater margin of safety. If aluminum could still be used for a small lift, then only iron is suitable. The rope may also not be strong enough, as a result of which it is replaced with a steel cable. A special roller is usually installed at the end of the poles of such huge spiders, and they are lifted using a winch. The strength and dimensions of the structure ensure the possibility of capturing trophy specimens both peacefully and predatory fish, which is what poachers take advantage of, especially during the spawning period.
