In this review, the author shows how to make a trap for small fish with your own hands. This simple device is useful for "lazy" fishing.
To make the trap, you need a plastic bottle with a volume of 0.5 l (or more), a stud, plain and cap nuts and a small piece of extruded polystyrene foam.
The first step is to cut the bottle into two parts. We cut the edge of the upper part with scissors so that the lower one can freely enter it.
After that, you need to drill holes in the bottle cap and in the bottom. The author uses a step drill for this - very convenient.
Next, the author cuts a piece of aluminum tube, inserts it into the hole in the lid and fixes it with hot glue. You will also need to prepare a piece of the stud with nuts, and you can proceed with the assembly.
The main stages of work
We insert the hairpin into the hole in the bottom of the bottle, fix it with nuts. At the end, we screw the cap nut.
At the next stage, we put the upper part of the bottle on the lower part, pass the pin through the tube and then fix it with nuts.
Using a soldering iron, the author makes holes in three rows at the bottom of the bottle. In the upper part you need to cut two rectangular "windows" on the sides.
Holes must also be made at the base of the neck. Then we cut out a piece of extruded polystyrene foam and put it on the neck. At the last stage, it remains to tie the rope.
Add bait (pieces of bread) to our trap and you can throw it into a lake or pond. After some time we stretch out and enjoy the catch.
