Most people love such a freshwater delicacy as crayfish. However, many who even live on the shore of water bodies do not know how to catch these animals. Therefore, below will be told how to make a rakolovku, which operates virtually trouble-free.
A simple device for catching crawfish
Throughout the world, these animals have been caught for many centuries with the aid of the simplest adaptations. If earlier it took a lot of time to manufacture them, today we have at our disposal a wide variety of materials and tools, with which you can make an effective trap for a couple of hours. How to make a rakolovku from improvised materials? The simplest and most primitive trap is made of a small piece of a fine mesh made of fine wire. The shape of such a trap is conical. It has proved its effectiveness for a long time. To tighten the mesh in the form of a truncated cone you will need a screed (thick wire) and a nylon thread.
How to make a window with your own hands? The manufacture of the trap begins with the bending of the rings. To do this, the wire is bent so that the lower ring has a diameter of about 50 cm, and the upper one - about 20 cm. Such dimensions have been checked for years, so do not experiment especially in this direction. Rings should be made of such a wire, so that its weight allows the sink to slide smoothly to the bottom, without turning over at the same time. By means of ties to a ring of a larger diameter, a grid is attached. She should not sag. The optimum interval between screeds is 6-7 cm. If there is no thin aluminum or copper wire for fixing the mesh, a strong nylon thread can be used.
How to make an effective gangplank?
After the base is made, the spacers that support the top of the trap are made. For them, as a rule, wire is used, although in its absence it is possible to use suitable wooden twigs. After that, the lower and upper bases are joined in the form of a truncated cone. The optimal rigidity of this design will be provided by 4-5 spacers. On the fabricated frame evenly stretch the mesh. It must completely cover the entire structure (except for the inlet at the top of the trap). All joints are carefully tightened.
How to use the trap?
Many fishermen know how to make a shack. The photo above shows some of the simplest versions of traps. As a rule, they all act on the same principle: cancer through a narrow hole gets inside the broomstick with a bait, and back can not get out. All the traps (cone-shaped, cylindrical, in the form of a parallelepiped) are tied to the top at three points for a long rope and lowered to the bottom of the reservoir. In the elongated devices for catching these animals, the inlet holes are most often located at both ends. Now it's clear how to make a rakelovku, well, what kind of bait should be used in it? Usually a piece of meat or a withered liver is attached to the trap. For a larger catch, you can use several rakolovok located along the shore.
