Anyone can buy a spinner in a store, but making one with your own hands, and even from an ordinary spoon, is the domain of real homemade ones!
Catching trophy fish is a complex process of selecting that very “key” when the weather, location, and bait are suitable. But what to do when nothing is caught? Get secret baits, which are different for each fisherman. Some people prefer expensive store-bought ones, while others prefer their personal ones, modified at home. This type of bait also includes homemade spinners made from spoons. We offer you FIVE cool options for making such baits.
Making a feeder for donkey and fishing for cyprinids - carp, crucian carp, bream, etc.
Let's get to work. The step-by-step process of assembling the feeder looks like this:
- first, cut off the handle of the spoon using a grinder;
- the stainless steel strip must be leveled with a hammer;
- cut it into two strips, 7-8 cm long and two 5-6 cm long. This should be enough to make an arc out of these stainless strips, and also attach them to a spoon;
- at a distance of 1 cm from the ends of the strips, drill holes with a drill: one at a time from one edge;
- We bend the tape in an arc and attach it to the spoon. We bend their ends inward;
- to attach the strips to the spoon we will use copper rivets;
- match the spoon and ribbons to each other and rive them together;
- We make holes with a drill from the edge of the handle and from the side opposite to it. A ring is threaded into the hole on the side of the handle, and a swivel is attached to it. We knit a leash with a hook onto the tip of the spoon;
- Pour lead into the bottom of a spoon. So we will make this homemade feeder heavier, which helps the fish to self-hook when biting. In order for the lead to hold well, it can also be riveted using a strip of stainless steel.

Spoon spoon. Easy way
This “recipe” is considered one of the simplest. Its catchability is undeniable, since otherwise it would not be so popular among homemade anglers.
- How to do it yourself. The process is simple and clear even from this photo. You will need a tablespoon, a file, a metal drill, two winding rings and a tee. We saw off the handle of the spoon, drill two holes, mount the rings and tee. That's it, the spoon is ready to mow down pikes.
Selection of material for the production of spinners
Any spoon is suitable for creating bait, be it a table spoon, a tea spoon or its dessert version. The size only gives additional opportunities in creating products for catching different types of fish. For example, a tablespoon will make an ideal size spoon for pike and catfish, and a dessert spoon will be perfect for catching perch and pike perch.
There are no special requirements for the workpiece material. Items made of stainless steel, aluminum alloys and pure steel options with various coatings of their base are quite suitable for work. The only difference may be the need for additional shipment of light alloy products. This problem can easily be solved by soldering the recess of the cutlery with a small mass of lead or by riveting additional material.
Do-it-yourself catchy spinner
As with the spinner above, this type is very easy and simple to make. It is enough to have almost the same tools and materials on hand. Except for the spoon... You'll need a pen!
- How to do it yourself. You can use the handle from the previous method, or you can saw off a new one. The main thing is that the spouse or mother does not suspect something is wrong. We got the handle, drilled two holes, mounted the winding rings and tee. That's it, you can go in search of trophy pike or pike perch.
Characteristics of spinners for perch
In order to lure any fish, specialized equipment is required. Some tips and knowledge will help you make the right bait.
For predatory fish, the most attractive thing about spoons is their game. They must exactly repeat the movements of the perch's most frequent food in order to attract its attention and provoke an attack.
It is precisely in order for the winter lure for perch to play correctly with your own hands that it is made of certain shapes, sizes and weights.

They also use larger spoons to catch larger fish, so the outcome of the fishing depends on the size of the bait. But still, the parameters of ideal perch lures are limited and are within 5-10 centimeters.
In addition to its size and shape, fish are also attracted by their external similarity to the intended prey. If you draw a little eyes, scales or specks of blood on your spoon, then the perch will more effectively pay attention to it.

How to paint a spoon so that there is a pike perch?
In this method we have combined several options. All spoons have been modified: painting, notches, “additional equipment”.
- How to do it yourself. In essence, these are improvements to the options described above. You can paint or draw on your eyes with nail polish. As an option - blue or red electrical tape. Notches or grooves are very easy to make using a file. As for “additional equipment,” various fabrics, fur or synthetics are suitable.
How to make a bottom feeder for carp from a spoon and lead
There are a huge number of feeders designed for both feeder and bottom fishing.
However, many fishermen understand the pleasure that comes from fishing with the gear that they made themselves. It is a kind of talisman, because it is a unique thing that no fisherman has. Here we will look at two ways to make a feeder for carp fishing with your own hands. One option will use a tablespoon, while the other will use a feeder made entirely of lead and copper wire. Materials and tools: - tablespoon (stainless steel); - lead; - carabiner, ring, swivel; - soldering iron; - drill; - hammer; - Bulgarian; — stainless steel strip; - copper wire.
Lead can be found in old batteries or can be obtained from lead-insulated wires. It must first be melted; a tin can is quite suitable for these purposes. As for the stainless steel strip, the author found it in an old mixer. The width of the strip is 5 mm and the thickness is 0.5 mm.
The process of making a spoon feeder:
Step 1. Making the base of the feeder
For these purposes, you need to take a grinder and cut off the handle from the spoon. Now, using a drill, you need to drill holes on both edges of the spoon. They are needed to attach the feeder and leash with a hook. By the way, you shouldn’t throw away spoon handles; they can be used to make excellent spoons.
In addition, you need to drill 2 holes (4 in total) for the arcs.
Step 2. Making the arcs
The arcs will be made from strips of stainless steel. The length of one strip should be 7-8 cm, and the other 5-6 cm. Stepping 1 cm from the edge of the strips, you need to drill holes for attaching future arcs. Well, now all that remains is to bend the strips and attach them to the spoon. The author used copper rivets for fastening.
Step 3. Weighting the feeder
In order for the fish to be able to hook itself when biting, the feeder must have a sufficiently large weight. To make it heavier, you need to use lead. To do this, melt it and pour it into a spoon. In order for the lead to hold well, a hole is made through it and the spoon, and then the same copper rivets come into play.
That's all, the feeder is almost ready. All that remains is to install the swivel and tie the leash with the hook.
Another way to make a feeder In this case, lead and copper wire will be used. To make the body of the feeder, lead is rolled out in a spoon. Subsequently, the edges of the body are sealed with copper wire; in the process, loops are also made for attaching the feeder to the main fishing line and the leash. As for the arcs, they are also made of copper wire.
When fishing for carp, the author recommends using hooks with “hair”. Thanks to this “hair”, boilies, corn or other bait are caught. Boilies are attached to the hair using special clamps. As for corn, the author recommends attaching 4-5 grains per “hair”. That's all, after filling the feeder with food, you can cast and wait for the trophy.
Also, this type of feeder is great for catching crucian carp, but in this case two hooks are used. Leashes are made 10-15 cm long, and for their manufacture it is best to use fluorocrabon. The fact is that the light refraction spectrum of this material is the same as that of water. This means that the fish will not notice such a fishing line in the water. As a result, the fish will think that the bait is floating above the feeder.

Spinner made from a whole spoon
In the process of preparing this article, we came across this option. Do you think this is generally a joke, or a full-fledged spinner? They just catch it on everything, from beer caps to toothbrushes, but here there is a completely understandable form and predictable game... Apparently, this is a silver spoon, so maybe it’s just a gift option. In any case, the spoon sinks, plays, has a hook, attracts the attention of the fish. This means “our” client.
Siberian homemade products
The fifth point we would like to mention is a user of our site who has repeatedly participated in competitions for homemade baits and tackle. Gennady (Gennadii.) decided to open a “waste-free production” and not throw away unnecessary parts. How do you like this idea? Three different spinners, three different games and all from one Chinese spoon.
