Lovers of windless fishing for a long time have noticed mormyshkas as bait. Fishermen with many years of experience share their impressions, telling about successful biting and showing off photos of the catch. Recent discovery was mormyshka "cat's eye." It seems that there is nothing to surprise the modern fisherman, but no, the beads with low tide, called the "cat's eye," fell to the taste of fish.

Great choice

So what's the secret of this bait? In its similarity with the marmic, the mollusk, which feeds on fish. A semi-transparent ball, which is used for bait, will not leave indifferent any fish. If you have several mormys in the arsenal, you can buy a bead "cat's eye" separately and equip it with bait. "Boat", "nymph", "podenka" will look great in a new role.

Features of the bait

In itself, mormyshka "cat's eye" looks pretty attractive. And all thanks to the special effect that a bead has. When a light is refracted, a dark vertical strip is formed, which resembles a cat's pupil. This is what attracts the inhabitants of rivers and lakes.

But it is necessary to take into account the illumination of the reservoir in which fishing takes place. The color of the bead mormyshki should be contrasted against the background of water. That is, in a transparent and light pond, a dark bead will be excellent to cast in the light, and in a cloudy bead - on the contrary.

General information

So, why not try to make a bait like a cat's eye muzzle, with your own hands? It will be unique and special. However, before you start tinkering, you need to decide on the basic parameters. Below, the main characteristics of the mormyshki are described in the paragraphs, this will help you to choose the ideal variant for yourself.

Coloring

When choosing the shades of bait, it is worth considering the fact that fish distinguish colors. But this is not all their features. What is bait? This is an imitation of an edible specimen. Based on this, the color is selected. The small fry are colored golden and silvery, the crustaceans are dark, almost black. Favorite dainty submarine inhabitants - bloodworm of red color and habitual green alga.

Given these features, choose the color of the bead to be decorated with your mormyshka "cat's eye".

Heavy or light?

The weight of the bait plays a big role in catching fish. Lighter mormyshki are suitable for cautious fishing, when it is important to feel how the fish bites. Such baits are made of plastic or nylon. But you can make a light mormyshk from tungsten with your own hands. The weight of such products does not exceed thirty grams.

Heavy mormyshki will be an ideal option with a minimum bait size for a sensitive bite. Alloys of heavy metals are used for their creation, which are difficult to process. Using these useful tips, you can make a cat's eye catcher for fishing, which you prefer.

Successful form

It should be noted that the bait should be similar to food, so the behavior of the fish will be similar. This is called bait playing. Depending on the shape of the mormish, its movement in the water will be different. For example, bait in the form of a droplet forms turbid fountains. The flattened mormyshki is excellent at the bottom of the river.

The bait in the form of a pellet or oatmeal will be indispensable for fans of winter fishing. She is very delicate and carefully playing at the bottom. Proceeding from this, plan, what shape will be your mormyshka "cat's eye".

Strong hooks

Another important point in the manufacture of mormyshki is the choice of a hook. For this case you need a strong and reliable element, because it depends on it cutting. If you have the opportunity to buy new hooks, we advise you to check each of them. It is possible that in one box there may be incandescent products, which in themselves are very fragile. In order to identify hooks that are unsuitable for our mormyshki, it is necessary to squeeze each of them in the middle of the forehead. Strong products will change the shape only from strong pressure, while the incandescent will bend instantly. Pay attention to the sharpness of the sting, since it will depend on the cutting. For mormyshka "cat's eye", we recommend using single-hook hooks.

Preparation for work

So, the previous material helped to determine the parameters of the bait, now we proceed to its immediate manufacture. We will need:

• Bezmotlka as a nail scrounger;
• Bead "cat's eye" or a piece of colored silicone;
• Super glue;
• A small piece of sheet lead;
• needle;
• Nippers;
• wire.

When everything is at your fingertips, you can start. First of all measure lead, it should be along the length of the forehead, even a little more.

Bend and glue

After this, it is necessary to fry a piece of lead, having previously folded it in half. If you did not have experience with this material, we advise you to be more careful with fire and not overdo it. Further in the middle of the roasted lead we place the hook, fix it tightly and fill in the emptiness of the superglue.

We decorate

At this stage, you need to place the bead on the hook itself. This can be done in several ways. If you have a bead, then it must be firmly fixed on the hook, passing through its hole wire. In the resulting loop, you need to insert a hook, after which the ends of the wire are cut off and cleaned. It is possible for the reliability to drop glue in this place. Next, near the sting, we put a piece of cambric, which will act as a stopper. If you do not have the right bead, you can replace it with silicone.

We put a small piece of silicone on the tip of the needle and hold it over the heat to make a rounded shape. A ready silicone ball with a hole is placed on the hook. At us the ready mormyshka "the cat's eye" has turned out, responses about which rather positive.

Result

After spending only 15 minutes, we made our own hands a great bait. Perch, roach and other inhabitants of the river depths are excellent for it. You can experiment with the colors of beads, bait forms, weight and other characteristics. You can be proud of having made the bait yourself, and now you have a unique mormyshka "cat's eye", a photo of which you can show to the fishermen you know. Many of them will envy you.
