No winter fishing is complete without such equipment as a fishing box. It stores all the winter gear, and the catch is not rare either, although it makes little sense to store the catch in it, if only there is a desire to stain it badly. After all, the catch can be put in a bag. The price tag for such a box in fishing stores is sometimes biting. Therefore, we will consider one good option for a homemade fishing box. The weight of the box that is presented in this article does not exceed 3 kg, and it looks quite nice.

To make your own fishing box, you will need:

Making a fishing box

For a better view of the picture, click on it to enlarge it..

Cut out a lid from a sheet of plywood. Cut out so that it protrudes 2-4 mm from all sides.

We make the bottom from a piece of tin, or the same chamber, and fasten it to the bolts (if you eat a riveter, it’s better to rivet it). We fasten the lid with the help of hinges.

From the inside we paste over the box with building insulation. Of course, you can do without it, but you will agree with it nicer. And glue the foam rubber to the lid.

We sew a cover and fit our almost finished box. Do not forget to put foam rubber on the lid.

We fasten a pair of holders for pvc pipes to one of the walls, they hold the fishing rods very well.

In the corner we fasten the holder for the thermos. For this, a pvc pipe holder for sewerage is perfect. But you can think of any other ring.

Many novice anglers, when purchasing winter equipment for fishing, experience financial difficulties when buying winter equipment. This is especially experienced by people of retirement age, residents of the rural hinterland and schoolchildren. But in many ways, you can alleviate your financial difficulties by deciding to make some fishing equipment yourself.

For example, a fishing box! In Soviet times, when the country "suffered" from a shortage in everything, many anglers themselves made this most important attribute of winter fishing. Most often, it was made from plywood, sawing out the necessary details (sidewalls, lid, bottom) and fastening them together with bars using nails. Almost at the same time, a method of making a box appeared, from a refrigerator freezer that had become unusable.

Today, old Soviet refrigerators are thrown into a landfill, replacing them with more modern and high-quality "units". For the case of a fishing box, a freezer removed from a worn-out Soviet refrigerator is perfect. It is only necessary to separate the tubes through which the freon gas went from the chamber and at your disposal is the finished body of the fishing box!

The bottom of the box is made from the required width of a wooden board of coniferous species (aspen can be used) with a thickness of 2-3 cm. For the penetration of melt water, especially in spring, between the walls of the housing and the bottom, it is advisable to insert a sealing strip of rubber (from the bicycle chamber), first wrap the ends of the bottom with it and fix it to the walls of the housing with screws, stepping back from the edge of the bottom 3-5 cm.

The bottom must be covered with drying oil or paint from the outside. The protective layer of paint and the maintained distance (between the bottom and the ice) prevent the penetration of water into the box. It should only be remembered to carefully free the place for the box on the ice from snow.

The lid of the box is cut out of thick plywood. Having given the workpiece the desired shape, one should take into account a small overlap in front and on the sides of the future cover. Then a sponge (from a tractor or car seat) is laid on the workpiece and covered with a tarpaulin. With the help of a furniture stapler, the edges of the tarpaulin are fixed to the plywood, to the underside of the cover. The resulting cover should be connected to the body with small hinges or a tape hinge using screws. A small bar should be attached to the inside of the case, into which the screws connecting the hinges will cut.

In the fishing box, additional compartments are needed (for gear, prey, products), which are easy to make from scraps of the board. Having cut to the required dimensions and processed the blanks, they should be placed vertically in the body and fixed to the walls with screws.

To carry the box, you will need a strong and preferably wide strap. It is fixed to the sides of the box with small bolts, having previously made holes in the sides.

The fishing box is ready! Its duralumin base gives the box lightness, which is very important for large transitions and an aesthetic appearance. It is quite strong and durable and, of course, economical - in terms of acquisition.

Good weather and winter fishing!

It is possible to make a fishing box with your own hands from the body of an already inoperative freezer. Such a solution is quite simple in terms of manufacturing and economical - from the position of investing money. Such a device allows you to realize several goals at once - it is possible to put gear in a fishing box made from a freezer, and use it as a seat during winter fishing, without spending money on expensive factory products.

You need to go on winter fishing well prepared, this will not only save face in front of your “colleagues”, other anglers, but also provide comfort during direct fishing. To increase convenience, a special device is required - a fishing or fishing box. Such a thing facilitates the process of storing ammunition. But, factory models are quite expensive and the best option is a homemade box, especially since making it from a freezer is quite simple.

How to do it yourself

It is much more economical and simple enough to make a decent fishing box with your own hands. It will be convenient to store gear in it, and its mass will be small. Such a homemade product, in addition to spaciousness and lightness, also has a sufficiently high strength, which allows it to be used as a high chair.

Necessary materials

To assemble a homemade fishing box, you will need the following tools and materials:

• hammer or mallet;
• a sheet of plywood according to the size of the freezer;
• freezer from a Soviet refrigerator;
• a pair of aluminum sheets according to the size of the freezer;
• pencil or marker - for marking;
• drill and drill 3 mm;
• canopies - 2 pieces;
• rubber glue;
• leather belt or car seat belt;
• strong thread;
• sealant;
• large sewing needle;
• materials for interior decoration of the box;
• foam rubber and other seat upholstery materials.

Inside the box, you can not zone it, as well as not make the seat soft, just leave bare plywood. In this case, materials for arranging the interior space and upholstery are not needed.

Preparing the necessary elements

The algorithm for making a box for winter fishing is as follows:

1. First you need to remove the freezer from the old Soviet-made refrigerator.
2. After that, it is necessary to cut off the pipe through which freon previously circulated and rivet it, since otherwise this substance will flow out with an unpleasant odor.
3. When the pipe is riveted, it is required to remove the back (during operation it is the bottom) wall of the freezer, lightly tapping it with a hammer.
4. After dismantling the wall, you need to take 10 mm plywood, which is pasted over with plastic on both sides. Other types of plywood are also suitable (coated with NC varnish or drying oil).
5. With a pencil, you need to circle the inner perimeter of the freezer and cut the desired piece out of plywood along it.
6. If the back wall made of tin does not correspond to the size of the freezer, then it is recommended to cut a sheet of aluminum of the same dimensions as plywood, but with rounded edges. To protect against water from an aluminum plate, it is also necessary to make a standing seam (a certain option for fastening metal sheets in roofing), but do not rivet it.

Advice! It is better when the refrigeration equipment is no longer working, since a normally functioning unit can be used much better than disassembling it and rendering it completely unusable.

Collection

It is necessary to lay plywood, and then you need to put a fold on one of the open sides of the freezer and only then a pre-cut aluminum sheet. However, the folds cannot be clamped or riveted, only tightly planted to better hold, you can slightly adjust with gentle blows of a hammer or mallet.

When the fit is completed, a pencil or marker is taken, and the centers of future holes on the folds with the freezer box are marked around the perimeter. The drill makes holes along the marks, so about 12 pieces will come out around the perimeter. This allows you to partially secure the bottom of the fishing box.

Seat

It is permissible to take 10 mm plywood on the seat;

Attention! If the plywood is not processed, then it needs to be impregnated with varnish or drying oil and allowed to dry.

On the side where there is a hole from the nozzle, you need to drill 4 holes - for two canopies. When they are fixed, it is required to mark the centers of the holes on the plywood (seat) and also drill holes. Then, after the completion of this stage, foam rubber is laid and covered with any selected material (leatherette, leather - natural or artificial, fabric, etc.). In order not to hear how the air comes out of the seat when you sit on it, you need to smear rubber glue along the edge of the articulation of the upholstery material and plywood. In this case, the corner where leatherette or other material is connected must be sewn with a strong thread.

Zoning and arrangement of internal space

The interior space of an almost finished ice fishing box can be kept intact. But, throwing all the necessary fishing accessories into the camera, there is a risk of breaking a rod or other valuable item. Partitions inside the box can be set in accordance with your own wishes, for example:

• large department for the catch;
• compacted area for a thermos;
• loops for fishing rods;
• place for a drill and a shovel.

Also inside or outside you can place an additional pocket for storing fishing line, hooks, weights. As a material for the manufacture of partitions, you can use the available material - aluminum or plywood sheet. If the additional walls of the compartments are made of metal, then when cutting it, you need to leave a tolerance of 1.5-2 cm on each side. On the left stock, cuts are made and the ears are bent for fastening to the body of the freezer. Bolts can be used for connection.

Carry strap and padding

To fasten the belt, you need to make reliable loops from a dural rod and a plate. The loop itself should be bent from the wire and clamped in a plate folded in 2 layers. The plate itself must be bolted to the body - the calculation should be done so that the place of fixation of the belt is swivel. When the holes are already prepared, you can start upholstery:

1. A piece of leatherette or other selected material must be wrapped around the walls of the freezer with a margin of 2 cm per seam and 2 cm each from the top and bottom sides. In this position, the place of a tight joint should be noted.
2. According to the marked position, it is necessary to make a line seam with a dense thread - it is better if it is nylon or lavsan. If you sew through an overlock, then the connection will be much stronger.
3. The resulting bottomless bag should sit with a slight interference fit on the body of the freezer. Before putting it on, the surface of the box is coated with moisture-resistant glue.
4. When the upholstery is already stretched over the body, the upper and lower edges of the material must be smeared with adhesive, bent to the inside (cutting where required) and fixed with paper clips or clothespins.

When the glue is completely dry, you can proceed to the final assembly of the structure - installing the bottom, dividing partitions, seat and belt loops. The bottom of the box after assembly on the inside and outside in the area of ​​​​the seams should be additionally coated with sealant. The place reserved for the thermos can be additionally sealed so that the flask does not hang out in its cell.

Results

Making a fishing box from a freezer is not a difficult task. The main thing in this matter is to choose the right materials and strictly follow the procedure. If the design is assembled correctly, then such a box can last several decades. Changing the design features and selecting upholstery materials to your liking will only give the fishing box a certain personality.

Do-it-yourself box for winter fishing is not so difficult to make, there would be a desire and the right hands. And you can’t do without this accessory in winter, even a beginner who first got on the ice understands this. The charaban, as it is also called, is truly a multifunctional and irreplaceable thing.

This piece of fishing equipment allows you to arrange all the accessories in the proper order, without worrying about their safety in the future. In addition, the chaise has another important purpose - its cover is made in such a way that it acts as a seat.

Parameters to help make a box for ice fishing

Boxes have become so popular with anglers that they are used even in the summer. Almost all the necessary accessories are in one place - fishing line, reels, various baits and other elements. The most common boxes are made of polymers. Brand models are distinguished by quality and reliability, however, their cost is quite decent.

They are distinguished not only by soft seats, a convenient carrying strap, removable containers, but also a small hatch into which they throw the caught fish without getting up. There are many models on the market, however, choosing the right one, you need to remember some parameters.

1. Appearance, of course, does not play a decisive role, but aesthetic data is always pleasing to the eye. Modern models look quite stylish and have a whole palette of various colors.
2. More relevant box size. It is chosen not only by the internal volume, but also by the height, which lies in the range from 300 to 600 mm. The height is determined by the type of fishing, predator catchers take high products, jigfish - low.
3. Transportation of a charaban is also not the last thing. In most cases, there is a strap that differs in material, size and shape. Anti-slip pads and handles may also be present. There are models with skids.
4. In winter boxes, first of all, attention is paid to the material of manufacture, on which strength, weight and frost resistance depend. Each material has its pros and cons, as we wrote in the article " The best winter boxes for fishing: metal, plastic, foam».
5. The functionality of the internal volume is another parameter. The most demanded boxes are divided into horizontal compartments, thanks to which it is much easier to find the right thing without taking everything out.
6. The comfort of the ice fishing angler depends on how comfortable and soft the seat will be. As a filler, building foam, foam rubber or polystyrene is used.

All these qualities are taken into account not only when buying a factory product, but also if you decide to make a do-it-yourself fishing box for winter fishing. In addition, it is worth considering that every year more and more advanced models appear on the fishing market. For example, there are boxes with a special bag for the catch. The material from which it is made is easy to wash and does not allow unpleasant odors to spread around the box.

How to make a fishing box from a fridge freezer

A good alternative to a factory box is a chaise made from the freezer of an old refrigerator. The bottom is made of any material with which it is most convenient for the angler to work. If plywood is taken as the basis, it is easy to fasten it with self-tapping screws, galvanized steel is put on riveting.

Put the camera on a sheet of plywood and trace the outline. Cut out, taking into account the moment that the bottom should fit snugly into the body. Before installation, plywood is treated several times with hot drying oil and then varnished to avoid delamination. The junction of the bottom and the body is treated with a sealant so that water does not penetrate from below.

The lid is made in a similar way, not forgetting that it must be a couple of millimeters larger than the body so as not to fall through when closing. They fix it with the help of hinges, which are mounted to the plywood with self-tapping screws, to the body - with rivets or small screws.

As you can see, a box for ice fishing from a freezer is quite simple to make. It remains only to fasten the strap for carrying the box. To do this, you can use furniture handles made in the form of a bracket and a belt from any bag with carabiners.

In principle, the box from the freezer for fishing is ready, but you can go further and improve it. For example, foam rubber is placed on top and covered with leatherette or carpet - a special automotive fabric. On the reverse side, the upholstery is fixed with staples of a furniture stapler.

So that the gear does not hit the thermos inside the case, you can put a partition, which will significantly strengthen the chaise. It can be made both from plywood and from a metal sheet. During transportation, the thermos will pound against the walls, so the compartment can be finished with soft soundproofing foam.

How to make a battery ice fishing box

This box is smaller than the one we described in the article " Homemade box for summer fishing: advantages and disadvantages» from a canister for automotive oil. Anglers have different requests, and someone does not need a bulky box, which, by the way, is more difficult to transport and carry.

How to make a box for winter fishing yourself from a battery, which can be successfully used in the summer too. In addition, lead plates in the household are always useful, for example, for casting sinkers of various weights for certain types of fishing.

1. First of all, the electrolyte is drained and all the insides are removed.
2. To neutralize the action of the acid, the box is thoroughly washed with water and diluted soda.
3. Partitions must be removed, but the stiffeners should protrude two to three centimeters.
4. Sharp edges must be carefully processed and rounded.
5. The battery cover makes a decent upper part of the container, it is hinged.

The result is a small but very convenient box for fishing accessories. It remains only to adapt some kind of fastener for the cover, for example, in the form of a wire bracket, which clings with its bent part to the flanging of the lower part of the case. The outer half of the cover is easy to paste over with polyurethane foam. The tackle box is ready, and even in the boat it won't take up much space.
