Devon

Devon is a special class of  spinning   baits. The most  devon, having сигарообразное body with blades and a hole in the longitudinal axis, through which passes a steel rod with a t on one end and a rifle in the other.

There are many varieties of Devonian, different principles of construction and equipment. However, the information about them are very few.

Yes and find Devon on the counter of a shop - a task sometimes impossible. It and is clear: the Devonian satisfactory quality or one of any respectable business of our country does not produce. The same can be said about the majority of foreign companies among the motley the diversity represented in the directories baits devon meet infrequently. So basically fishers enjoy девонами, the wizard themselves or have become artisans.

Девоны less technology-wise, the spinners, and at first in their manufacture can be faced with certain difficulties. Some of the well, at first glance, made  devon  in water are less attractive for the predator, for they do not give due game. To help you avoid typical mistakes, I want to give you a few tips on the basics of building a devonian, and then offer several methods of their manufacture.

For the beginning - two important observations. We will talk only about the all-metal baits. Девоны there are also made of plastic, wood, and combinations of these materials with metals, but they have only external similarity with all-metal devon, and the technology of the manufacture and their practical application radically different.

At any artificial bait in principle, you can catch almost any predatory fish. And yet there is a bait "narrow specialization" to them as times and refers devon. It is intended mainly for catching ASP. However, in the historic homeland of the devonian, in England, this predator is not. And when I showed colleague from Manchester his book about fish breams, he did not understand, what kind of fish in question. I had to explain that she looks like, but larger and more aggressive...

Other predators, I believe, better to catch on some other lures. So, the speed of posting Devonian too great for catching perch and pike, and if we are his slow, then the trailing portion of the highly falls and the rotation of the strays.

So, what should be Devon, calculated on the ASP? He weighs 20-40 grams, has a length of 35-50 mm, quickly and easily rotates. The speed of rotation is largely determined by the angle of the blades to the direction of motion. Maximum speed is reached at an angle of about 60 degrees.

The first of the conditions that should be met properly constructed Devon - this is the lungs of the blade. They are usually made from stainless sheet steel or brass thickness of 0,5-1,0 mm. Brass easier by the fact that its easier to solder, but steel still preferable - it has a greater stiffness in the same thickness, as brass.

Another important requirement to the blade - their optimal size. The blades of a small, Devon is spinning fast enough; if is great, because of the resistance of the air during the hurling decreases "range" bait. Optimal total surface area of the blades to middle Devonian are 2.5-3.0 per square centimeter.

There is, however, the construction of the Devonian, which allows you to have larger blades without any negative side effects. The blades of "variable geometry" is not soldered shut in the body of the bait, and able to turn at a right angle to the special axes. In working position the blades through the fence occupy the same position, as usual, and when hurling the flow of air carries them in the head part of the body of the Devonian, thereby ensuring a minimum of sail bait.

Have the blades in Devon can in many ways. They are shifted back, sometimes to the very end, but all the same front blade Devon received the greatest distribution. 

The rapid rotation of the Devonian creates for the blades of a powerful vortex motion of water, which, apparently, is the main reason of increased interest of ASP to a decoy. When the blades are located in front of, turbulent flows cover almost the entire Devon, like a cocoon, and the fish is showing less cautious.

Another argument in favor of the front of the blades is much more robust sweep. In the grip of a predator (as cross, so also after) the blades, rear view, may prevent the hooks into the jaw of fish, acting in the role of a kind of braces. Usually Devon supply with two blades, at least - three, placing them symmetrically.

There is a group of baits, which to  devon  not, strictly speaking, belong - they are heavy  not spinning body and are associated with the blades. Such a design can be called "lazy" Devon - not because of the sluggish game, but because of the simplified manufacturing technology.

Really, no need to drill an axial hole, out of the blade. However, in the main - in attractiveness for a predator - "lazy" Devon markedly inferior to traditional. At the same time, the "lazy" Devon, with its asymmetric body, deprived of the principal drawback of the conventional Devonian - he did not  twisted line. However, the flaw inherent in  devon  with one-way rotation, it is quite possible to fight. For this there are several ways.

You can use anti spinner. They are eccentric (lead) and sailing (of celluloid or a thin metal plate). Lead completely exclude the kink the main line, but, firstly, worsen cast - in-flight Devon and revolve around a common centre of mass; secondly, it is not possible surface wiring - even at the highest speeds Devon is not close to the surface, and a few below.

All this severely limits the opportunities in the catching of ASP. Therefore, accessories with lead has a narrow scope of application:  when the fish is caught  or at the bottom. When the leash between anti spinner and Devon needs to be done not out of line, and of a rigid steel wire thickness of 0.5 mm, because soft leash very quickly collapse "thumb" and break even from a small load.

Not quite solve this problem and double-Devon - with different directions of rotation of the front and rear parts. One of the directions (usually the one in which rotates headache half of the Devonian) overpowers another, and as a result of the line was twisted. Although, obviously, so you can find the correlation of the size of the blades (rear - more front - less), that the overall rotation of the bait is reduced to zero. The method of trial and error I came to the conclusion that the best thing to periodically rotate Devon with the opposite direction of rotation. At first glance, it is very troublesome, because every 10-15 casting need to remove one of Devon and put instead of the other. However, the replacement procedure can be reduced to a few seconds, if not cut and tie every time Devon again, and use the simplest wire harness, which is attached to the rifle. Another effective way to deal with  anti spinner line is to achieve ease of rotation of the Devonian, using for this purpose the beads. If for rotating spinners have one beads, base on which tab, then for the Devonian they should be two-three, and touching the surface of the beads (like the end part of the lures that contact with them) should be perfectly smooth. Beads is better to make of metal or fluoroplastic. For the Devonian you can take one double rifle, but you should make sure that he is free to rotate in both joints.

It is important to wire rod was fairly tight and not moving from the small efforts, " this may lead to reduced speed or even to a complete halt. The same often happens in cases when the diameter of the holes in the body of the Devonian too small - it fall to the sand, get rid of that is not easy: we have to dismantle the bait. So diameter longitudinal holes must be in two-three times larger than the diameter of the axis. In this case, the sand does not stay inside and washed out with water. However, when the opening of the much broader axis, the rotation arise beats, but it is more of a positive impact on the nibble, because the Devon gets more and more game. Moreover, to strengthen this effect, it is useful to drill the hole is not axially body of the Devonian, and at a slight angle to the axis.

Devon is equipped with a tail tee, rarely - two. In this case, the stock of one of the tee is located inside the Devon and soldering of hooks in the immediate proximity to it. The second tee, of smaller size, designed to поклевку pursuit, very typical for ASP.

Any additional hooks, associated with the body of Devon, in the best case, slowing its rotation, in the worst - bring to nothing the measures against the tightening of line. Yes and special need for additional hooks no, because Devon - bait compact, empty poklevok on it, even at the same t a little bit.

At the time of posting Devon is not horizontal, and slightly tilted position. Some of the fishermen believes that this is a big minus - bait is unnatural look, especially when decreasing the speed of the movement, when the angle increases. I do not share their views. In some cases there is a rule: exacerbating the lack of, gettin ' dignity. An example of Devon illustrative in this respect.

What happens if shift the center of gravity closer to the tail of the bait? She, of course, will be stronger deviate from the horizontal. At a very fast wiring Devon with a heavy rear part, keeping the tilted position, leaves on the surface of the water, and located at the front of the blade noisy scatter around the fountain of smaller droplets. This is the so-called continues travel wiring, one of the purely methods of catching, the very effective in low-light conditions - before sunrise and after sunset. For fishing suitable and common Devon, and swaying spinners, but the skimmer Devon more convenient. You can give Devon ply properties,  making heavy tee lead on the stock. 

Now let's talk about the manufacturing Devonian in the Amateur conditions. The easiest way is to use a ready to lead sinker type "olive" appropriate weight,  cutting through the slots and soldered in their blades. Personally, I prefer  Devon  light colors (although some are caught mainly in the dim bait).

In the hole "olives " - billet insert a metal rod and  her in a Vice or on the anvil, so that the two parties were formed flat facets. To these the faces of the  cutting through the thin strips of Nickel silver or brass. The sides blades. Devon out half a brilliant, half-dark. When rotating turns out a kind of flickering, that, apparently, favorably affects of Cleves.

You can make the body of the Devonian of the whole metal blanks, drilling her along the longitudinal axis of the lathe or a drilling machine. It is important that the drill was sharp and strictly  center , as well as not happened distortions during drilling. Attempts to perform this operation manually using a drill or  brace , in the absence of a skill often end in failure drills. 
You can avoid the procedure of drilling, if you make housing Devonian not monolithic, but of two parts. For this it is necessary to make two identical (in a form the body of the Devonian) metal plates, but of different thickness - for example, 2 and 4 mm. On thick plate is done with a hacksaw and  needle files  drunk, after which the plates  solder. Be easy to make a cast Devon round cross-section with a shell made of brass, Nickel silver or tin. To do this, I take a plate of sheet metal the size of 50x50 and a thickness of 0,2-0,3 mm, and also a round wooden rod with a diameter of 8-10 mm (suitable thick pencil). Previously honoured with the inside of the square of foil tightly wrap it around the shaft and squeeze in a vise. Then set forth a rod out of the tube almost the entire length and put in his face surface pre-greased nail in the rod should be the deepening). Putting all of this construction vertically, fill the inside of lead. When the workpiece to cool down, take out a nail and a wooden rod, remove excess metal.
