There are still quite a few fans of completely unsportsmanlike gear among anglers: scarves, screens, tracks and other net options remain consistently popular, including as additional gear or for. Trophies caught on such tackle are quite rare, but its compactness makes the scarf quite common.
Tackle features
Fishing scarf is arranged simply: it is a network that has a triangular shape when unfolded, which is provided by a metal rod at the base of the triangle. It not only plays the role of a sinker, plunging the tackle to the bottom, but also keeps the web in a straightened state. This moment allows you to use the scarf, including for ice fishing in winter.
When folded, the scarf is quite compact and easily fits into the hole even of a relatively small diameter.
Important! This device for catching fish is also considered a net, which means it is classified as poaching gear. And although you can’t catch a lot with a scarf, meeting with the fish inspection, especially during the spawning period, threatens with considerable fines.
Fishing in spring
A kerchief for catching fish is quite effective tackle in the open water season, especially in cases where you need to catch live bait, or just catch fish of non-trophy sizes relatively quickly, for example, for fish soup, and the angler is quite familiar with the characteristics of a particular reservoir.
Using such tackle, it is important to imagine where it will be most effective. If the net turns out to be far from the paths along which the fish usually move, then you should not count on the catch.
Option for the open water season - the float holds the tackle in the required position.
When installing a scarf, it is necessary to clearly represent the most likely places for the accumulation of fish in a particular reservoir. With no small probability in the spring it will be a line of growth of reeds, channel edges, snarled places, and the installation of scarves around a tree fallen into the river may turn out to be quite effective. Sometimes it makes sense to make a little noise, driving the fish out of secluded shelters - this technique is used both for screens and TVs, and for scarves.
Features of ice fishing
Due to its specific shape, the kerchief, when folded, easily passes into the hole, and after all the tackle is under the ice, it straightens out without any problems. The net is left fixed on a stick set across the hole for a certain time. This principle of fishing allows you to set several kerchiefs at once (in some cases, the score can go to dozens of nets), and periodically check them for a catch.
Important! If the main goal is to catch live bait, then you should not immediately pull out the entire scarf from the hole. First, it is worth freeing the fish that is tangled in the upper parts of the net - this way, the rest of the live bait does not have time to freeze in the cold.
As promising places for fishing, you should pay attention to the growth line of the reeds. Immediately after freezing in such places, fish often continue to stand (especially perch and pike). It is also worth trying to fish near snags and trees fallen into the water, at the entrances and exits of the pits. The better the angler is familiar with the features of the bottom relief, the higher the probability of success when fishing with a scarf.
The most effective fishing with the help of a scarf will be immediately after freezing, since at this time far from all the fish have gone to wintering pits, and can still quite actively move around the reservoir. When the fish is not moving, the scarf is practically useless.
The use of bait
A scarf is not enough large sizes network, which means that some kind of additional factor, attracting fish to the place where the net is installed. Together with this gear, you almost always have to use one or another version of bait mixtures. It is important to bear in mind that the composition of these mixtures will vary significantly depending on the season.
In open water, a light mixture with a strong spice aroma (which is attractive to most fish species) will work well. At the same time, you should use both highly moistened bait balls, which will work when they fall to the bottom, and under-moistened ones, which will create a loop in the water column that attracts fish. In order to increase the effectiveness of bait, you can add animal components of maggot, red dung worm or a fodder bloodworm.
Important! You can use the technique of feeder athletes: cut the red worm or maggots with scissors, and only after that add it to the bait. Such a smell is able to attract the attention of even the most passive fish.
Winter varieties are usually less nutritious, their flavor is much weaker, and the color is usually dark. A strong spicy smell or bright colors in winter can, on the contrary, scare the fish away from the place where the scarf is installed. The winter version can also be made from summer bait by simply adding a sufficient amount of soil.
You should also pay attention to the method of delivery of bait. In winter, it is better to use special feeders that allow you to release bait directly to the bottom of the reservoir. In the summer, the baiting process is somewhat simpler - ordinary bait balls are quite enough.
How to DIY
A handkerchief for fishing with your own hands is made quite simply, the process does not require the purchase of any specific materials or tools and is usually made from what is available. For this tackle, you will need a net, a metal rod with a diameter of at least 5 millimeters, as well as a fairly thick fishing line (at least 0.4 millimeters in diameter) or even a thick nylon thread and a relatively small foam float that will hold the upper edge of the scarf in position. The rod can be shortened to the required length with an angle grinder, but if it is not at hand, then such work can be done with a chisel with a hammer. The manufacturing algorithm is quite simple:
- On a flat surface, straighten the web. In the case when the scarf is made from a fragment of another network, it is necessary to cut out the canvas of the required shape and size. If it already has the desired triangular shape, you can immediately proceed to the next step.
- With the help of a thick fishing line or kapron thread, the web of the net is fixed to a metal rod (notches should first be made on it). And also this main thread should be passed through the cells of the side walls. If necessary (for example, if there is a strong current on the pond), several additional sinkers can be attached to the rod so that the tackle sinks faster. The main thing in this case is that there is no excess in one scarf in one direction, it is desirable to distribute the load evenly.
- From above, the threads or fishing line passing through the side walls must be fixed on the ring, to which the rope will also be attached, with which the scarf is immersed to the required depth. In the summer version of the tackle, a foam float can also be added, which is necessary to maintain the net in a vertical position.
If you don’t want to mess with making your own, a scarf can be purchased at most fishing stores.
Mesh size
This parameter directly affects what kind of fish you can catch with a scarf. Conditionally, the following options can be distinguished:
- A double-walled version with cells of about 70 millimeters is suitable for serious fish like bream, there will definitely not be small things in the catch. Typically, such nets are made of fairly thick fishing line.
- Cells 50-60 millimeters - suitable for bream, more or less large silver bream and roach.
- A single-walled version with a 35 mm cell will perform well on perch, roach, and sabrefish.
- If a medium-sized live bait is needed, then the most suitable option is 20 millimeters or less. The fishing line is used of small diameter, and most often transparent, since fishing is supposed to be at shallow depths.
Self-weaving a network
It is impossible to make a fishing scarf without a net. You can use ready-made Chinese blanks, but often the quality of the fishing line from which such nets are made is extremely low. The lack of tensile strength is often compensated by a larger diameter, which makes the tackle more visible. Therefore, although relatively rare, fishermen can weave a net for a scarf on their own.
Main advantage self-manufacturing- the ability to choose the fishing line and its characteristics, ranging from diameter and color, to the characteristics of behavior at low temperatures (many cheap options “tan”: they lose their flexibility and elasticity).
Sometimes braided cords are used as a material for making nets. Their main feature is the minimum extensibility and high performance. breaking load with a small diameter.
For manufacturing, you will need a special bar that will ensure the same size of the mesh cells, and a shuttle that stores a supply of fishing line or cord, and the shuttle is also used for knitting knots. At the same time, it is important to take into account that it is possible to knit a network with large cells with a small shuttle, but, on the contrary, with small ones, it will no longer work: the shuttle simply will not pass through a cell that is smaller than it is.
The bar and the netting shuttle have probably changed little in the last few thousand years.
A kerchief is a relatively simple tackle, both in manufacture and in use, which, however, rarely brings trophy catches. It is most expedient to use it for the production of live bait.
Fishing is popular at any time of the year. This pastime allows you to relax, forget about all the problems and feel like a real hunter. Today there are many special means guaranteeing a successful outcome of fishing. One of the devices of the fisherman is a scarf. It can be done independently, taking into account all the preferences of the master. Next, we will consider options for how to knit a fishing scarf yourself.
What is a fish trap?
Scarf for summer fishing is a popular fishing tackle that has a strong frame made of metal, and a special net is attached to it. In addition, the metal part is a kind of load, thanks to which the net is not pushed out by water and quickly sinks to the bottom. A variety of product models allows you to choose the most suitable option and successfully spend the fishing season. The sizes of a fishing scarf can be different and in most cases depend on the purpose of the tackle. For example, a large fish requires a large net mesh.
Using a net for fishing is very simple. It is enough just to fix the structure made of metal with a rope and you can safely lower the product into the water. In order to be guaranteed to catch fish, it is recommended to lure the prey before diving the headscarf. The advantage of using the design is complete immersion to the bottom, which allows you to catch different types of fish and fish in bad weather, when all living creatures are concentrated on the bottom. Nevertheless, the fisherman must regulate the level of immersion, based on an assessment of the terrain and the bite.
There are several types of headscarves for summer fishing.
There are several types of scarves for fishing. You can opt for a particular model, focusing on weather conditions. Depending on the season, it is recommended to use suitable bait, equipment and other devices.
How to make a handkerchief for summer fishing with your own hands?
Before starting work, the fisherman needs to carefully examine the question of how to knit a fishing scarf himself. The good news is that everyone can make a product. The process does not require certain skills and expensive materials. All you need is to follow the technology, how to make a scarf for fishing, and do the job efficiently.
Work materials
Before starting work, you should carefully consider what kind of fish it is preferable to catch, where fishing will take place and in what season of the year. Only after that you can accurately answer how to knit a scarf for fishing. After all, the size of the product and its effectiveness depend on the size of the prey and its habitat.
So, for work you will need the following materials:
- canvas fishing net– this attribute must have the size of cells necessary for catching a certain type of fish. The larger the prey, the larger the cells should be and vice versa.
- Frame - this design can be built with your own hands. The main material is a wire with a diameter of 4-5 mm.
- Fishing line - the material must be thick (at least 0.8 mm). Alternatively, the use of nylon thread is allowed.
The outcome of fishing will depend on the quality of the materials. Of course, it is better to use more expensive elements and in the future the result will meet all expectations.
It is very easy to make a fishing scarf The process of making scarves for fishing
Having bought necessary materials, the fisherman is faced with the question of how to weave a scarf for fishing?
The manufacturing procedure is quite simple and consists of three stages:
- The fishing net is placed on a flat surface (preferably on the floor). Next, the blank is cut according to the selected dimensions. At this stage, the metal frame should already be ready and the resulting workpiece should be attached to it. In order for the structure to easily attach to the sinker, it is necessary to make notches on the surface of the frame every 20 mm.
- At the second stage, you should do the fishing line. The material should be carefully threaded through the bottom of the net and fastened where the notches were made. It is important that the network sag slightly. This will help you catch more fish.
- All cells must be connected with a nylon thread, and the material must also be fixed on the sides of the wire sinker. This process will provide a reinforcing base. It is necessary to make loops on the structure, in the future the fisherman will tie a rope to them, which will allow the product to lower and rise.
Having figured out how to weave a net, think about the materials that will be used. If necessary, use the help of a friend and build a structure together.
The strength of the finished product depends on the choice of raw materials for the scarf How to properly equip a fishing scarf?
Despite several technologies and techniques for preparing a scarf for fishing, there are no big differences in work. A feature of each product is the size of the net cells, depending on the type of prey that the fisherman wants to catch. There are also some differences in scarves, which are used for fishing in the winter and summer seasons. But the manufacturing principle remains unchanged: the metal frame is connected to the mesh and firmly fixed.
Every year with the onset winter period All large quantity Russians in their free time tend to go out into nature, to an exciting activity fishing th. There are many tackles and various devices so that anglers do not return from fishing without a catch. Fishing tackle "kerchief" is often used by fishermen for fishing in the winter.
What is a "kerchief" for fishing?
"Kerchief" - screen tackle for catching fish, which has a triangular shape. It consists of a metal rod to which is attached a mesh cloth having the shape of an isosceles triangle. At the top of which there is a ring, a rope is tied behind it. With its help, the tackle is lowered into the water. The rod plays the role of a sinker that helps to lower the device under water. Net cells can have different sizes depending on the type of fish it is intended for hunting.
To catch small fish, it is enough to put a net with a cell of up to 20 mm; for angling large fish, a net with a cell size of 50 or more millimeters is suitable. Therefore, the larger the fish you want to catch, the larger the mesh should be at the net, and vice versa.
How to use?
Used tackle fishing "scarf" is very simple. A hole is drilled in the ice, the dimensions of which will allow lowering a metal rod attached to the base of the triangle. They throw food into the hole, which they cook on their own or buy in a fishing store.
At a time when the fish has not yet sunk to the bottom and is active, the “kerchief” is lowered closer to the ice surface. Tackle during this period is the most catchy. And they do the same closer to spring, then the fish rises to the top, since here the water contains more oxygen.
In the middle of the winter period, the "scarf" fishing (winter tackle) is not used very often. Cold weather conditions and lack of food force the fish to sink to the bottom of the reservoir, where you can find food in the silt and not freeze.
After the fish is abundantly fed, the “kerchief” is lowered into the hole. After a certain period of time, it should be checked. Fishermen who have extensive experience take this device with them every time they go out on the ice. They put a "scarf", periodically checking it, while they themselves continue to catch on other gear at this time. The catch in this case will be much richer.
"Kerchief" fishing: what to make
You can make a simple and useful tackle with your own hands.
Any fisherman, even a beginner, will make such a device; this will require the following materials:
- fishing net cloth with the required mesh size;
- a metal rod or thick wire with a diameter of 5 mm and a length of 1.5 m, which will also serve as a sinker;
- thick fishing line or nylon thread with a diameter of 0.8 mm.
How to make a fishing "scarf"?
- Spread the fishing net on a flat surface and cut out an isosceles triangle with a base with scissors, equal to the length rod or wire.
- On a metal rod, make notches every 20 mm using a chisel to firmly attach the web to the rod.
- Attach the canvas, making a slight sag (without it, the tackle will not work correctly), using a fishing line or nylon thread, to a metal rod in those places where the notches were applied.
- Pass a nylon thread through each cell of the side walls of the triangle. At the top of the triangle, attach a ring to which a rope will be tied to lower it under water.
Where to buy a "kerchief"?
Do-it-yourself fishing scarf is easy to do, but sometimes for some reason you don’t want to do it or don’t have time, then you can buy it at any store that sells fishing gear. It is even easier to buy this tackle in the online store by clicking a few times with the mouse. Its cost is quite small - from 80 to 200 rubles.
Technique of fishing on a fishing "scarf"
Use this gear as follows:
- Using the sampling method to find the parking place of the fish.
- Make bait. For different reservoirs, a separate bait is selected. Compound feed, grains of any cereal crops previously steamed in water, breadcrumbs are used. Each fisherman selects all this individually, based on his experience, and beginners can consult experienced fishermen. good fishing largely depends on the right nutrition.
- "Kerchief" fishing falls behind the rope into the hole. Its end is tied to a stick so that the tackle does not go under water.
- The fish is very shy, so the hole is carefully masked. To do this, put small branches on it and sprinkle with snow. The rays of the sun through such a shelter will not penetrate under the water, and the volume of noise will decrease significantly.
- After 20 minutes, the “scarf” should be checked, if it is empty, then you need to rearrange it to another hole.
Using a "kerchief" to catch fry
One of the best lures live bait serves for predators. Fishing "kerchief" is often used for catching small ones. For this, a net cloth is taken with a small cell not exceeding 15 mm. Fishing is carried out in the usual way, only it should be remembered that the fry must remain alive. In this case, it remains on the hook with a moving bait for a long time.
In severe frost, it is better to lift the tackle from the hole together, so as not to freeze the fish below, if it is then used as live bait.
The specifics of fishing
Fishing "kerchief" is mainly used for fishing as an additional tackle. It is perfect for catching live bait fish (described above). During outdoor recreation, putting this unpretentious tackle, you can quickly catch a few fish in your ear or for the grill.
The “kerchief” is also useful for fishing in reservoirs where there are a lot of algae, they put tackle there only in small gaps.
The time was around 10 am. I woke up early and didn't want to go back to sleep. After lying about half an hour, an interesting thought came to my mind. And she came to me because from the window of my house you can see the roof of the neighbors. A cat walked along this roof, carrying some food in its teeth. Whether it was a fish or a piece of meat remained unknown to me. However, it was the thoughts of fishing in the winter that began to appear in my head. After 15 minutes of thinking, I came to the conclusion that it would be nice to fish without spending too much time. Namely, to use a scarf as the main fishing tool. If someone forgot, - a scarf is such a triangular network. A piece of wire up to 1.5 meters long is used as a load, and a foam float is tied on top. That's the kind of tackle I decided to fish with. The technique of installing a scarf in winter has long been known to me. A couple of years ago, I already had experience installing nets on ice, in parallel with this I put several scarves. Unfortunately, I do not remember the result of the last fishing, so I decided to experiment and hope for the best. With these thoughts, I already put the kettle on and warmed up my porridge. The whole process of eating food was accompanied by brain activity. Finishing the last cookie, I already knew exactly what and how I would do in the next hour.
The day was surprisingly cold. I didn’t have time to look at the weather on the Internet, and I don’t have a regular thermometer. I put on sports tights and a light jacket and went to the garage. Going out into the yard, I realized that I dressed very lightly, but it was a bad omen to return. Fortunately, the garage is located 10 meters from the entrance to the house. I live in the private sector. Therefore, I didn’t manage to get pretty cold, although the weather was exactly for this and disposed. Quickly orienting myself in the garage, I took out several metal bars with scaffolding and ropes wound around them. These were scarves. I had them because as a child I was fond of knitting these same scarves. Having dragged all this dirt into the house, I began to get ready for the upcoming trip to the ice.
The essence of the proposed methodology was as follows. Having drilled a hole, she is fed with an abundance of food. After lowering the top dressing, a scarf is placed. Everything is simple and not tiresome. The good catchability of this method would mean that you would no longer have to sit with a rod waiting for a bite. Put a few scarves, and you can go home. The catch was planned to be picked up the next day. However, such an option would also be suitable, in which fishing is also carried out with a bait, and scarves are like a safety net and confidence in the presence of a catch. 
As an experiment, I decided to use a scarf with a small mesh. The cell size was 18 mm. Those who are guided by these meanings now chuckled. The fact is that this is a very small mesh, and you can only catch live bait in such a scarf. However, not big catch moved the process, and my curiosity. The gusset has been checked for holes, and is equipped with an extra piece of fishing line. At summer fishing the scarf is simply thrown with a stick into the water. It can also be lowered from the boat. In winter, you need to lower the scarf into a narrow hole from under the ice screw. That's why an additional piece of fishing line was required, attached to one end of the load wire. Having fixed one end, I measured a couple of meters and tied the other end of the line to the main rope. Now the kerchief can be lowered into the hole, holding it by an additional length, and after it is in the water column, I will take the main rope, and the kerchief itself will take the correct shape in the water.
The kerchief was ready to be caught. In the meantime, water was boiling in a pot in the kitchen. I cooked porridge. To be more precise, he cooked several types of cereals. It was semolina, peas, barley. A little bit of everything, but in the end we got half a plastic bag. I mixed all the porridges with each other, and also added soaked bread. Putting the mass in a plastic container, I went to get dressed.
By that time I had already checked the weather. -28 degrees. For many anglers, this temperature is unacceptable. But I, charged with optimism and enthusiasm, cannot back down. Felt boots, a warm jacket, three pants, three socks, a hat, a down jacket and mittens - that's what I was wearing that day. I left the house.
It would seem that everything is ready and you can move forward. But I did not find the ice drill in its usual place. Immediately I remembered that in the fall I dug holes for fence posts with it. At this point, once again experienced anglers smile. Because the ice drill, after interacting with the ground, could hardly drill ice with confidence. I would not say that I did not try to do something. Taking a file, I conjured over blunt knives. As a result, this was, of course, not enough, but first things first.
forgot to say that winter fishing I am satisfied, interesting and traditional. That is, sitting in a warm tent with a bait, I fish with interest and pleasure. But experiments and an unconventional approach are a characteristic feature for me. That's why I'm already approaching the frozen and snowy river.
I considered experimenting on the river itself unnecessary and poorly effective. It's all in the flow. And the bait, which was supposed to be a key factor, would be carried downstream, thereby diverting the fish from the established net. I went to the creek, so to speak. It is very good that we have a place nearby where the current has no power over the water. This backwater has connections with the river, but in general it looks like a separate lake. It is here that you can meet an abundance of anglers. For reference, I will say that on the weekends, on the ice, you can see up to 30 tents with fishermen. In principle, fish are caught and many prefer to sit on the ice instead of lying on the couch.
So I arrived at the place. The frost has pretty much knocked down the ranks of winter fishing enthusiasts. Besides, it was already evening, about 4 o'clock. A couple of tents could be seen in the distance, and not a soul was near me.
Looking around the area, I found a suitable bend near the shore, against which, as it seemed to me, the fish must certainly be standing. This was evidenced by the fact that there were several wooden sticks, which means that pike were caught here. There is a pike - there is small fish , I thought. I began to drill a hole exactly between two tent sites. Apparently, in the morning the fishermen sat on them, and now I had the opportunity to catch the fish fed by them. Here the first incident happened. The ice drill did not want to drill through the ice. With great difficulty and noise, I drilled only 15 centimeters, and that was because I put a lot of pressure on the ice screw with my weight. Realizing that this attempt would not be successful, I went to study the prescription of tent places. And lo and behold, they were indeed fresh. A few manipulations with the ice drill along the old hole, and I saw water. Breathing a sigh of relief, I took out the shabala and pulled the ice out of the hole. Perking up, I was already scooping up the bait prepared at home. And I raked her in the feeder. It is worth talking a little about this tool. Homemade feeder, designed for targeted delivery of feed to the bottom. It is arranged in such a way that with a slight movement of the hand, the bottom of it opens, and all the bait spills out in the immediate vicinity of the bottom. I lowered about 3 feeders to the bottom. The capacity of one is a good handful of feed. In addition to the bottom, I decided to open the feeder half a meter, as well as a couple of times a meter from the bottom. Well, I threw a few handfuls of the remaining food into the hole itself. The remains of the porridge slowly swirled in the lenok, and I swirled around it, warming my already freezing legs and arms. - 28 in the open area, and even with the wind turned into - 30. Literally after 3 minutes, I felt fine, and with my bare hands I spun the tackle. The process of lowering the "fresh" kerchief did not cause any trouble. I put it on the very bottom, pulling the main rope a little, and giving the scarf a “stretched” position. Holding the rope with his finger, and making sure that no fish immediately got into the net, he went for a walk along the lake. Standing still was a bad idea, because, as you know, not actively circulating blood in the limbs quickly cools. Having made a small circle, which took about 20 minutes of my time, I returned to my gear. Pulled out and surprised. There was not a single fish in the scarf. Poraskinuv brains, as far as the situation allowed, I decided to put it again, but now at a distance from the bottom. The fact is that I remembered how last year we caught fry on the first ice. Then the fish could be seen directly from the hole. The little baitfish swam under the ice. Deciding that maybe now the fish is in the thin water, I raised the scarf a couple of meters above the bottom. Another 20-minute walk, again I am standing at the hole. Pulled out - empty. It was not possible to experiment with the place, again because of the auger, and I began to pack up.
On the way home, I made conclusions and assumptions. Everything concerned without a productive experiment. Main question: "Why?*" Found several answers in my head: Wrong fishing spot. The kerchief stood for little time.
Of course, it is impossible to draw exact conclusions, and therefore I tuned in to further experiments. I decided that the first thing to do was to buy new knives for the ice drill. Equip a couple more scarves, and place them in different parts of the reservoir. I also thought about experimenting with food. Maybe it was worth using flavorings, and live supplements - bloodworm or hunchback. After all, in winter the fish is not so active, and perhaps in such a frost it is not tempted to simple porridge.
At home I was already at dusk, pretty cold and surprised by the result of fishing. But nothing can be done, you need to take it as a given of today's experiment, and try something else. This is the experience I had. I wish you a good bite, warm weather, and the realization of your thoughts!
Craft scarf do it yourself is not very difficult
Making a scarf with your own hands is not very difficult.
you can start with a regular, non-folding scarf 180 cm long. It will be catchy and quite simple to manufacture. And transportable.
Consists of scarf from netcloths, triangular, or trapezoidal shape, a piece of reinforcement with a thickness depending on the place of fishing. For example, in carp pond you can use 3 mm reinforcement or a steel rigid bar, and preferably a reinforcement of 5 mm thickness, so as not to bend it due to inexperience. For flow and fishing with a small cell, you can use reinforcement up to 1 cm thick.
Netcloth. Take a net cloth 1.8 meters high, suppose that you cut it off from a doll (a standard cloth 60 m long and 1.8 m high) and calculate the number of lower cells for a scarf.
Formula: D / A * 0.9 Where D is the length of the reinforcement (mm). For our sample, it is 1800, and the cell (mm) (for example, 45, 60, 33, i.e., the mesh is mesh, is the distance of the fishing line between the 2 nearest knots). Usually written on the doll or easily measured with a ruler. 0.9 - landing coefficient.
From the result obtained, we take only the integer part, everything after the commas, the fractional part, is discarded. Because this error is taken into account during landing due to the fact that the extreme 4 cm are occupied by fasteners. This whole part number of cells must be written down on paper. And next to write down this amount divided by 4. If it is not divisible by a whole, let's say the remainder is 1-3 cells, then evenly distribute it over all the quarters when landing. If in some quarter there is 1 cell more, and in the other 1 cell less, then fishing will not be worse from this, for this a coefficient of 0.9 is taken into account.
Stretch mesh cloth, so that it hangs a wall for several meters. Count the number A on the mesh from the bottom corner edge. Do not be too lazy to highlight the lowermost cells of your future scarf with some kind of tied thread made of wool or something else. And then they always distract, or knock down, then you make a mistake, and you cut off the sideways, or you have to recalculate ... And then you cut it off diagonally. From the edge, starting from the second cell from the bottom, cut so that each time the row from the edge is 1 more. You will get a pyramidal diagonal. So cut off to the upper cells and separate the unnecessary corner of the mesh (do not throw it away, then it may come in handy for something). You should get a pyramidal structure of the edge of the canvas. And the bottommost cell is the one you marked, you haven't reached the other one yet. Stretch this canvas somehow so that everything can be seen.
Start counting down the bottom edge of the number of cells A that you calculated. Having reached the desired cell, stick a small piece of electrical tape on it or highlight it with a thread. Hold this cell and slowly cut, starting from the next in a row, diagonally upwards so that each next row of your scarf decreases by one. You will immediately see this diagonal of cells, and the main thing is not to stray from it. To do this, you need to stretch and mark the extreme cells. In short, in the end you will get a triangular piece of canvas. If on top of this triangle there is not one cell, but several - this is normal. It depends on the size of the cell you are cutting. The main thing is that the side parts are consistently cut off, i.e. without carving by eye - just stealing one at a time. And then they do a tyap blunder, and then it is badly caught. By the way, that’s why it’s risky to buy a store-bought cloth cut for scarves, they cut the doll so that it comes out more economical and a smaller piece. And the canvas itself - some cheap stuff. And coefficients are not considered.
Bottom weight. Take a rebar 5 mm and 180 cm long. Straighten it. To be straight, like a stretched thread. The edges of the reinforcement at a distance of 2 cm are processed with a chisel for notching. For each edge, it is enough to make 6-7 good deep notches on both sides. You can also suffer with a file, but it’s easier with a chisel. If it’s not difficult for you, you can flatten the edges, also by 2 cm, and then make notches on the side surfaces of the flattened reinforcement. For the most skilled, you can weld small wire rings 0.5 cm in diameter (a simple wire, approximately 1 mm in diameter, twist so that there is a ring and legs, and weld these legs) or drill holes at a distance of 2 cm from the edges. 2 centimeters along the edges - a technological gap. Various fasteners are carried out on it, and additional elements can be installed.
The mesh is attached to the bar. To do this, a nylon thread is threaded into all the lower cells, no more than a shoe thread (no more than 1 mm) thick. The length of the thread should be 2.1 m. Having threaded the thread into the lower cells, we attach this thread with reliable knots to the notches of the reinforcement on both sides. In this case, it is necessary that the thread between the fasteners is not stretched. The slack should be such that if you put the reinforcement at 2 extreme points (2 cm each), for example, on 2 stools, then the resulting sag should be 4-6 cm. And the fasteners themselves must be made so that the ends of the rope do not hang out. And it is necessary to tie it in such a way that there is no twisting of the thread around the reinforcement, so that the thread is parallel to the reinforcement. By the way, the extreme side cell must be tied together with the knot that fastens the vein. This applies to both sides.
After that, we mark the gap between the extreme nodes on the reinforcement - into 4 equal parts. On the reinforcement we make risks with some kind of marker or chalk. Then we remember how many cells accounted for 1/4 of the total. If there was a balance of 1-3 pieces, then we distribute it in one additional cell in each quarter. Until the rest is gone. For example, there were 43 cells. Mentally divided by 4 - 10 cells came out and 3 in the remainder. Then we make the first 3 of 4 quarters - 11 cells each, and the remaining quarter - 10 cells. We wind a thread with cells with electrical tape, making sure that the resulting quarter has the number of cells we need. The electrical tape should lie between the cells, grabbing only the thread to the reinforcement. And, if you take an example, you get the 1st, 2nd, 3rd quarters - 11 cells each, and the 4th - 10 cells.
Further, a side vein is threaded into the extreme lateral diagonals of the scarf. It can be a nylon cord or a thick fishing line 0.8 - 1 mm in diameter, whichever is more convenient and expedient for you. Pozhilina is threaded up one diagonal, then down the other extreme diagonal. And then you begin to maneuver the length of the vein. Immediately - tie one end of the vein in the place where it went down to the edge, over the knot of the lower selection. This is why notches and technical gaps of 2 cm were needed. The other end of the lateral vein is not yet fixed for you, and you can change the total length of the vein by pitting or pulling it through the cells by the second end of the vein. Your task is to make veins of such length that the total height of the net in the most high point kerchief was 153 cm. But at the same time, you should have a margin of + 8 cm for the loop of the kerchief. This stock is not included in the height of the scarf, it is immediately outlined like a loop, but it is not tightened until the desired height of the scarf is obtained. This height is due to the coefficient vertical landing 0.85 of the total web height of 180 cm. With this fit, your scarf will have a slight slack in the net. And then it will be better to get confused. And if you catch tight with your hand, for example, from a bridge, then a poking fish, even larger than it falls into your cell, may not get tangled in your scarf for a long time, but you will have time to pick it up and it will be in this bag. Therefore, you should not make too much sagging of the lower rebounds, so that the fish from the net bag does not jump out into the sagging rebounds. For our headscarf, I have already calculated the lengths of the side veins - they are equal to 178 cm each. But to them it is necessary to add the length of the loop + 8 cm, and the length of the thread for tying knots along the edges - 15 cm on each side. In total, 178 * 2 + 8 + 15 * 2 = 394 cm must be measured on the side vein.
The excess that remains after tying the knot should be pulled into the upper loop, let it be longer. But the final height of the scarf and the length of the veins must be unchanged. The upper loop is a simple knot from a folded vein, by the way, capturing the upper parts of the upper cells. It is necessary to tighten so that the cells do not fall out, and the knot does not spontaneously untie. But while you are setting it up, you don’t need to tighten it too much. Having achieved desired height you somehow mark the thread of the side vein in the place where the tip of the triangle of the scarf will be, and try to have the same length of vein on the sides. This is not difficult to do, even by eye, but it is better to measure. And then you tie the second end of the wire to the technological gap.
On the right scarf when you lift it by the loop, the mesh is stretched evenly, but with visible slack, and the reinforcement is parallel to the floor. If there is a bias, it is better to eliminate it immediately by manipulating the rope in the loop. As a result, you should get a triangular piece of the network, the lower selection of which is rigid reinforcement.
scarf attached to the top loop. If you fish from a plumb line, from a bridge or from ice, you need to make some kind of signaling of fish hitting. It can be a twig stuck in the ice, to the top of which a scarf thread is attached, a float that you made with a removable antenna, and it runs freely until the scarf sinks to the bottom, and only then you clamp the rope in the float with the antenna (it should be a float with a fist, and the antenna is some kind of wooden twig with a pencil thick, respectively, inserted into the float hole). The mesh should be stretched with a float or a rod. And you shouldn't give up. If you did everything right, you will immediately see that your landing is similar to landing on a good net. And you can catch it on the bay, and on the sea, and in the crucian pond. And selected carp, while on a bait you might not have caught them, (their head hurts) they do not want to eat. Or you want, but not what you have planted.
You need to determine how many scarves you want to make. This affects your cost of netting or line. It is more expedient to buy at once a whole canvas 60 m long and 1.8 high. This is the most versatile height. And at the same time, this length of the mesh cloth will be enough for you for several seasons of continuous use of scarves, when you no longer darn the old cloth, but simply cut it off and plant a new one. In addition, you will probably want to make more than one scarf. After all, it is more interesting to put a scarf in several places that are not overgrown, for example, in a crucian pond, and then feed these places. It is not necessary to make a scarf of this length, as is usually sold in the store. They cut off the minimum piece of linen there, and sell it at such a price that if you regularly fish for scarves and change linens, you will very quickly realize that it’s better to pay once and buy an excellent Finnish or Japanese linen from a strong and, at the same time, the thickness of the fishing line you need, and then make such scarves as you need. At least 2 meters, at least 4.
Then you will get the hang of making scarves, and if you fish in deep places, from a boat, or in a hole in winter, you can make scarves 4 meters long. (Do not forget that sometimes the depth of fishing will not allow you to use such large headscarves. In shallow water, for example, they will not stand up). Naturally, scarves can be folding. The odds remain the same. The division of the lower cord is 4 parts each half (if you fold the scarf into 2 parts). Don't forget to slightly increase the length of the bottom cord so that you can unfold and fold the scarf. But also remember that a large gap between the selection and fittings is a loophole for fish.
A folding kerchief can be made from your finished kerchief 1.8 in length or more. The calculation is such that you made the scarf more transportable, but at the same time increased its length.
It is done elementarily. The lower reinforcement is sawn into as many pieces as you need. And in places of cuts, a metal tube is put on one side of the reinforcement up to half the length of the tube, so that it enters the reinforcement with a small gap or tightly. And the tube is made at least 7 cm long. It can be more than 10, 12. On the side on which the tube is put on, it is pinched with a hammer blow so that it does not hang out. Or come up with another way to strengthen the tube on the armature. A piece of reinforcement is inserted into the remaining hole. For example, such a scarf, as described in the example, will be folded without rings 94 - 98 cm due to the protruding part of the tube. It is convenient to tie such a folded scarf to a box on skis, an ice drill, put it in a backpack and transport it like that, and lay it out on the spot.
The lateral veins of a kerchief longer than 180 cm can form an isosceles triangle with the length of the lateral vein 10 cm longer than the lower reinforcement. But at the same time, on each vein it is necessary to attach a rope (upper selection) so that at a height of 153-155 cm from the armature it passes between the veils, the upper loops of the scarf are hung on it, they do not need to be divided into parts, just thread all the cells on this rope, fasten the extreme ones together with the knots for tying the upper selection. Try to make such knots so that they do not stick out. And so that pieces of thick rope or fishing line do not cling to the cells, wrap them better with electrical tape, or think of something else. It is allowed to sag the upper selection no more than 2 cm, with the kerchief fully stretched, when the armature is hanging. Those. the final adjustment of the upper selection should be carried out last.
With a kerchief height of about 4 meters, it will catch at the bottom at the level of 153 cm. You can make such a kerchief so that it catches at the entire height. Just combine on one upper selection at the same time the upper cells of the lower canvas, and the lower cells of the upper one. But I didn’t make such a scarf, because basically we catch fish in the bottom layer, even at great depths of 10-13 meters. It is obvious that according to the height of hitting the scarf, it falls into the lower 50-60 cm.
Additional fishing attributes for winter may be required. These are side rings and a winter lifting thread. The side rings are needed to prevent the edge of the reinforcement from getting into the cell, after which the scarf will not be able to stand under the ice. These rings are made of steel wire 1-1.5 mm. The diameter of the rings is 5 mm larger than the double cell of the scarf. But no more than the diameter of the hole that you can drill. We must also take into account that the hole freezes over slowly. In general, the wire should spring and compress slightly, if large diameter, when it enters the hole, and then no deformation. The ring is easy to make. The circle is bent, 2 taps are made at a distance of 5-7 mm from each other. And 2 such rings are attached one piece on each side in the place of technological gaps. You can weld them, or wind them with a thin wire - at your discretion. Just so that nothing comes out, so that everything is smooth and wrapped with electrical tape on top. And then all the time there are burrs, bitten off ends of the wire, bent, and the cell strives to catch the whole thing. So definitely wrap it up.
The winter thread is attached to the ring, it is screwed in the part opposite to the place where the ring is attached to the scarf. Or, if you don’t put rings (for example, when using 180 cm scarves, you don’t need to put them, in the proportion indicated by me, side hooks are practically excluded), from any technological gap. This thread is attached on either side, right or left. Top part the thread should be attached above the attachment point of the upper loop of the scarf to the approximate thickness of the ice, + 15 cm. That is, if your ice is thick in winter, even to the maximum, 70 cm, then you need to attach your Winter thread above the attachment point of the loop to the lifting thread, by 70 + 15 = 85 cm. The thread should not warp the scarf. It should hang with a slightly noticeable sag. In winter, lower the scarf into the hole sideways. Ice drill knives should be set to make the hole as wide as possible. Those. we lower the scarf in combat working condition vertically. This is where the rings are needed, and the careful sealing of all ends from the fasteners. Under the ice, the kerchief unfolds on its own and assumes its original horizontal position. After that, lower it to the bottom, attach the float, or twig. Expect fish. Gotcha - there is a signal. Raise the main rope to which the scarf and winter thread are tied (the winter thread is tied above), and soon you will see it. Then you just take this winter thread and pull the scarf! scarf takes a vertical position under the ice and is pulled out into the hole!
If you have large scarf 4 meters, made of 8 mm smooth reinforcement (these are the ones I have for depths), then in fact it is necessary to make both the main and winter threads from a braided nylon cord (so as not to twist), and make all knots strong. Because it happens that the fish are so full that you can barely pull into the hole, such a friction force and heaviness. And if there are a flock of scavengers, then this is where a double scarf is needed, because a single one cracks and bursts at the entrance to the hole. But this is if the fishing line is bad. And Finnish canvases are generally kept mostly.
