Do-it-yourself spinners, choosing the most catchy spinner - a chapter from Viktor Andreev’s book “Spoons and Wobblers for Spinning.” Fishing with spinners - review, types, models, game, fishing, selection of catchy spinners, tips for beginning spinners.
The most catchy spoon
Once upon a time I literally prayed for “branded” baits and thought that it couldn’t get better. However, with age, I began to understand that even today’s ideal can be improved tomorrow.
After all, there is no absolute bait that is suitable always and everywhere. Each spoon is created for its own fish, its own fishing, its own depth - and for these conditions it can be ideal (although even here different colors will make a noticeable difference in the bite).
Therefore, it is always useful to remember that a good spinner is the one that best suits today's fishing conditions.
I remember an anecdotal incident when three “packed” spinners arrived at a pond where, as they were told, “there are a lot of pike!” They catch one hour, the second - empty. They played it, they think. But a local guy comes and starts dragging kilogram pike onto a rusty spoon.
How??? Why???
It turned out that only decent pikes and sleepers live in this pond. And the local “toothy” one was so accustomed to slowly swimming dark prey that it did not even react to any shiny “toys”. And our branded spinners were also generously covered with the newly appeared “flex”.
I had to urgently rip off the stickers and “smoke” the vibrators over a fire. Only then did we start getting bites.
So which spoon is the most catchy?
Homemade spinners - is it necessary to “reinvent the wheel”?
I'm actually a big fan of DIYs. And the village grandfather had his own spinner, ideally adapted to local conditions. True, already on the neighboring river it was useless.
But making an oscillating spoon yourself is not easy - and, perhaps, it is not necessary. But choosing the most successful samples and, if necessary, modifying them to suit local conditions is within the power of everyone.
The most catchy do-it-yourself oscillating spoon
When buying an oscillating spoon, you must first evaluate the body of the bait itself. Everything else is easy to replace. You can only take blanks from craftsmen and equip them yourself. By the way, it is much easier to work with such blanks, because they are usually stamped from sheet brass and are subsequently easily processed.
Layout
Let's start with the fact that you can often still find spinners of a good shape, but put together somehow.
Sometimes when stamping, burrs remain - we grind them off, and at the same time round off the sharp edges. Then we will work on the holes for the winding rings. For free play, it is desirable that the diameter of these holes is at least twice the height of the winding rings. If necessary, drill holes and countersink their edges.
The sizes of all elements must be harmonious. Special attention Let's put it on the hooks. Not only are they of high quality and the right size, but it is advisable to have dark hooks. After all, a light anti-corrosion coating is made for salt water, and in fresh water, excess shine can only alert the fish.
Changing shape
The easiest way to change the action of a spinner is to reduce its bulge. Once upon a time, I “ruled” an overly active “wave” with a cobblestone while fishing. If, on the contrary, the “wave” played sluggishly, it was necessary to additionally bend its front and back parts.
But the spoon bait behaves differently. Here, the flatter model, on the contrary, activates the game - the vibrator moves even further to the sides and even begins to rotate.
If necessary, you can change not only the convexity, but even the very shape of the spoon. True, it is difficult to predict in advance what will happen later. But if the bait doesn’t suit us in some way, why not try it? After all, for filing you only need a file or an emery wheel.
For example, let's take a wide S-shaped vibrator and see what can come out of it (Fig. 1).
Fig.1. Filing of the spoon: a) symmetrical, b) front, c) rear, d) asymmetrical. If you evenly remove the metal from the top and bottom edges of the spoon, you will get a similar, but narrower model (Fig. 1a). The new bait will not oscillate as actively, but more steadily, which means this modification is useful for faster retrieval or for fishing in the current.
If you “cut” the top and bottom only on the front part of the spoon, then the frequency of its oscillations will increase and the amplitude will decrease (Fig. 1b). And vice versa, if we “cut” the back part, we get a vibrator with wide slow play (Fig. 1c).
To give the spinner game an unstable, “hunting” character, you can remove part of the metal only from the top (Fig. 1d).
If you want to leave the shape of the bait unchanged, then you can adjust the activity of the game within small limits by changing the bevels (Fig. 2).
Another way to change the game is to make your lure lighter or heavier. In the first case, part of the metal is ground off from the surface, in the second, it is soldered. If at the same time different “pairs” appear, then a bimetallic spinner with its own electric field is obtained.
Soldering is often useful for giving the vibrator better planning properties.
Additional items
To give the spoon new properties, you can experiment with various additional elements.
First of all, these can be acoustic holes and channels, both transverse and inclined. They are made on some “cut” spoons, but they can also be justified on ordinary spoons.
A faceted glass eye is considered a very useful element, and drilling three holes and inserting the desired bead on a wire is not difficult.
Why, for example, not try adding one or two additional petals to the vibrator?
If there are no hooks and the fish takes it sluggishly, an additional hook installed in front or in the middle of the spoon will help.
And finally, you can make a non-snagging lure out of your favorite spoon by replacing the “standard” tee with a hook with a safety mustache.
Hook attachment
A bright additional element on the tee not only camouflages the hook itself, but also attracts the attention of the predator and serves as a “sight” for it. Typically, a bright cambric or a thin plastic tail is used for this (Fig. 3).
Fig.3. Additional element on the hook: a) cambric, b) plate. For brightness, the tail can be pasted over with orange or acid-green “flex” - sometimes this significantly revives the bite.
An even greater effect can be obtained if you put a twister on the tee of the spinner (Fig. 4a).
Fig.4. Additional bait on the hook: a) twister, b) rubber tail. However, it makes the tee heavier and can negatively affect the performance of the entire bait, so the rubber nozzle must be used selectively.
You can cut a twister yourself from thin rubber gloves (Fig. 4b) and put it on the forend. The lighter version has less influence on the spinner’s own play, and has the same attractive effect on the fish.
Color change
Even the most proven model can misfire if its color does not match specific conditions. For example, the spoon is white and shiny, and there is a bright sun in the sky. Even if a predator comes to such bait, it doesn’t want to bite.
I used to take coarse sandpaper and scratch overly shiny surfaces. Now I prefer to reduce the “shine” of the spinner by applying a design with paints or waterproof felt-tip pens (Fig. 5).
By the way, this is not a waste of time at all, but a completely justified action. I have had repeated cases when only painting the spoon “like a perch” made the pike still take the bait. And try to guess which fish ended up in her stomach during cleaning?
But the lure can not only be painted.
Reflective stickers sometimes double or triple our catch. The most typical options for using “flex” are shown in Fig. 6.
Flex is especially effective on an active and aggressive predator. In this case, a bright sticker will attract the fish’s attention to the spoon much faster.
Once on the Kola Peninsula I saw an incredibly decorated fiddler. However, it was with this that a local angler caught a one-kilogram brown trout on a sunny day in clear water. Rather, for fun, I covered my entire lure with the four brightest segments of yellow, green, orange and red “flex” - and three spotted beautiful fish became a “valuable gift” for the invention. It seems that at that time the northern fish was let down by its aggressiveness.
To the south, the picture is the opposite - in good light, muted colors work better: pink, gray, bronze. They are also preferable for a cautious predator.
Small contrasting details are always useful on a spinner. For example, I like to stick on diamonds, circles or thin strips of “flex”. It seems to me that when the bite is good, silver and red elements are more effective, and when the bite is bad, golden and pink elements are more effective.
Small parts are glued to the convex side without problems, but large parts sometimes become puffy. In this case, we will cut out several narrow side “wedges” on the sticker in advance. And so that the “flex” does not lag behind, we first degrease the surface of the spoon and lightly heat it with a hairdryer. Now all the fish are ours!
The winter spinner Maropedka is a vertical type bait for catching perch and other predatory fish from the ice in a vertical position. Since 2014, after information about the catchability of the spinner was leaked, the popularity of the spoon has only grown every year.
The Maroped has everything it needs to gain popularity among fishermen who are keen on winter fishing:
- a strange but memorable name - “maropedka”;
- simple design that allows you to make a spinner at home;
- catchability for perch, both pike and pike perch are caught;
As we have already said, the Maroped is an incredibly simple, but very catchy spinner that collects fish like a “vacuum cleaner.”
The author of the spinner and the very name “maropedka” is a fisherman-sportsman, the Champion of Russia in winter spinners - Alexander Vorobyov, aka “Technologist” on the Internet. Taking as a basis the spinner of Vladimir Matveychikov, the elements of the spinner “rhombus” and “torpedo”, and combining the names of these spinners, we got “MaRoPedka”.
Winter maropeds are made in sizes from 30 mm in length, with wings turned at angles from 90 to 120 degrees. For catching perch at shallow depths, the most catchy ones are 35 - 40 mm long with wings bent at an angle of 90 degrees. For fishing at greater depths, more weight of the spoon is required, and for this, the length of the spinner and some proportions must be changed.
Maropedic is easy to make with your own hands. Thanks to its simple shape, this lure is quite easy to manufacture; no special metalworking skills are required. Below we will show a drawing of a maroped, sketches of this spinner and what the result is. In addition, all the dimensions and manufacturing process of the spinner can be seen in the video.
To make a spinner we will need some tools and materials.
Tools:
- Soldering iron;
- Bench vice;
- Metal scissors;
- Pliers;
- Metal file, needle files;
- Sandpaper;
- Ruler and caliper.
Manufacturing materials:
- Sheet metal with a thickness of 0.1 – 0.5 mm (copper, bronze, brass, stainless steel);
- Lead-tin solder grade POS-60 or other;
- Phosphoric acid or other flux for etching during soldering;
- A pair of hooks for the eyes of the spinner. Instead of hooks, you can use nichrome wire or stainless steel. Wire ears are formed using pliers.
The process of making a maropedka
The progress of the work may be different at some points; different people make the maropedka in different ways. Here is one of the manufacturing schemes:
- Crown preparation. From sheet metal we cut out a rectangular blank of the required length and width, which will be the crown of the spinner.
- Marking. We apply markings on the metal plate - the center for bending and the widest part of the spoon, and draw cut lines. You can immediately cut off the tail part of the workpiece, the plate will become trapezoidal in shape.
- The bend of the spinner. We clamp the plate in a vice exactly in the center. Lightly hit the base with a hammer and bend the plate until it stops in a vice - 90 degrees. Turning the plate over to the other side, we repeat the operation. If the metal is thick, to avoid unnecessary deformation of the plate from hammer blows, you can use something wooden as an intermediary. A thin plate can be bent using the force of your fingers and finished with hammer blows. The thinner the metal, the more distinct the edge of the crown will be.
- Trimming and straightening. Using metal scissors or strong regular scissors, cut the plate according to the markings, leaving a margin for rounding in the head part. We remove the unevenness with a file and bring it almost to an exact match to the template. The final part of the adjustment will be after soldering.
- Tinning the crown. We heat the crown with a soldering iron and apply a thin layer of solder on the inside using acid or other flux.
- Soldering maropedka. We solder the ears and fill the crown with tin. Before soldering, the crown must be conveniently positioned. This can be done in a wooden block with a cut for the sharp edge of the spoon. We press the workpiece against the block with something heavy and begin soldering the ears from the tail and head of the spinner. After fixing the ears, completely fill the crown of the spinner with solder.
- Final processing. Using a file or needle file, remove excess solder, align all edges of the spinner, and sand with sandpaper.
- Installation of a tee. Through the winding ring we install a tee with a droplet or decorated with pieces of colored cambric.
It is better to watch the process of making spinners of the “maroped” type in the video. The first video from this list shows how the author of the spinner, “Technologist,” makes this spinner.
- For precision in manufacturing, especially if you need to make many identical lures, you can use a paper template. It is glued onto the plate and, guided by it, they are trimmed and finished with a file. It is more convenient to use paper with adhesive backing.
- If the metal plate from which the maroped is made is thin and the metal is plastic, you can bend it in half and then cut it along the contour. File the edges. Bend the plate to 90 degrees using a vice. This results in complete symmetry.
- The short and long parts of the spoon from the widest part can be calculated as the golden ratio of the total length. The approximate ratio is 0.62 on the larger side and 0.38 on the smaller side - from the head of the spoon. Accurate calculation of the golden ratio - calculator.
- The narrower the wings of a spinner spoon, the lighter it is, the smoother and more stable the game, and the more diving to the side.
- The smaller the spinner, the heavier the solder should be; large spinners use pure tin.
- Copper and brass quickly oxidize, and the spoon loses its metallic luster; to prevent this from happening, it can be coated with a thin film of waterproof colorless varnish.
Spinner setup and refinement
After the spinner is made, you need to check its operation in the water and, if necessary, adjust its play. The game of the spinner can be fast or smooth, it depends on the weight of the spoon. The maropedic woman can glide, but must not fall flat. If the spinner does not work properly, it needs to be modified.
The instability of the maropadic game may be due to its sphericity on the solder side (D). In this form, the spinner works normally only with a certain wiring - at the lowest point it will move a short distance from the center (2). If you remove excess tin (D), making this edge flatter, the play of the spinner will become more stable.
Achieving complete repeatability of the desired game from a homemade spinner is easier than from some other spinners, but this is achieved with experience. Simplification of the already simple shape of the bait allows you to achieve the desired result in almost every lure.
Maropedka 40 mm or more
Initially, the maroped spoon was designed for catching medium-sized perch in winter lure competitions and had dimensions ranging from 30 to 40 mm. Then, attempts were made to adapt the spoon to catch larger perch at greater depths.
Experiments with larger lures have shown that the spoon becomes too heavy. As the length of the spoon increases, the spinner gains weight disproportionately faster, and the nature of its play and catchability changes. Therefore, with an increase in the size of the spinner, when making a spinner, lighter solders are used that do not extend beyond the cut of the crown, and the longitudinal center of gravity shifts closer to the middle.
Carnation spinner for perch is the most common type of artificial bait. Thanks to its versatility, it allows you to catch both large and small fish, forcing them to instinctively react to the behavior of the structure in the water.
The presented spinner is oscillating - Products of this type have several rings located between the plate and the hook. With their help, natural vibrations of the bait are ensured, attracting living creatures. Sometimes the device is made in monolithic form.
Dimensions of carnation spoons for perch in winter
Experienced anglers almost always have Gvozdik in their arsenal. Standard size of this spoon is 30-35 mm. In this format, it is suitable for fish of different sizes, but most lovers of catching underwater inhabitants select the dimensions for certain conditions. Take a closer look at the possible variations:
- 15-20 mm - it is good for any type of perch, but one should take into account the relatively low weight of the product, which forces the use of fishing line with a thickness of up to 0.12 mm;
- 25-35 mm - best option, which reduces the number of bites due to the fact that small fish stop paying attention to the bait. If you want to “hunt” large animals without sacrificing too much time, these are the sizes that are recommended;
- 35 mm and above - As you can guess from what was said earlier, a large bait will be useful exclusively to connoisseurs of large fish.
Please note that if there is a chain, the number of small individuals encroaching on the spoon will increase. Therefore, it is considered to be one of the most versatile tools.
Winter lure for carnation perch - preparation, use
The “carnation” should be attached to the fishing line using a loop threaded through the ring. The knot in this case will be less appropriate.
Another advantage of the presented product is the absence of the need to create continuous high-frequency oscillations - it allows you to achieve results in almost all conditions.

Today, fishermen give the Gvozdik a different look. Most often, it is a metal base that does not have any design. The shape of the product can be triangular with sharp edges, flat or oval. Store-bought versions are made in the form of fry. In practice there is not much difference.
DIY spinner for perch
To make your own fishing bait you will need the following components:
- Copper sheet (approx: 8x2.4 cm and 0.5 mm thick);
- Hook - you can choose tee No. 3;
- Solder (20 g) and soldering acid;
- Wire up to 0.8 mm (1.5-2 cm);
- Grinding paste;
- Sandpaper.
Points are knocked out on the copper sheet, which must be connected to each other in order to obtain a finished drawing, according to which we will cut out two parts of the product. The hook fastening is made from wire. Its base is coated with acid and soldered to the base of a smaller workpiece. We bend the second part and connect it to the resulting structure. “Fill” the remaining voids. We make holes for the fishing line. Remove all excess drops with a file.
All that remains is to thoroughly polish the spoon and, if necessary, knock off sharp corners. Finally, treatment is carried out with GOI paste, hooks are hung - your “Carnation” is ready.
How long has it been since you had a really BIG CATCH?
When was the last time you caught dozens of HUGE pike/carp/bream?
We always want to get results from fishing - to catch not three perch, but ten kilogram pikes - what a catch! Each of us dreams of this, but not everyone can do it.
A good catch can be achieved (and we know this) thanks to good bait.
It can be prepared at home or bought in fishing stores. But stores are expensive, and to prepare bait at home, you need to spend a lot of time, and, to be fair, homemade bait does not always work well.
You know that disappointment when you buy bait or prepare it at home and only catch three or four bass?
So maybe it’s time to use a truly working product, the effectiveness of which has been proven both scientifically and in practice on the rivers and ponds of Russia?
Fish Megabomb gives the same result that we cannot achieve on our own, especially since it is cheap, which distinguishes it from other means and there is no need to spend time on production - you order it, it’s delivered and you’re good to go!
Of course, it is better to try once than to hear a thousand times. Moreover, now is the season! A 50% discount on your order is a great bonus!
Find out more about the bait!
The fish is not very large; the largest specimen caught by fishermen weighed almost 6 kilograms, with a length of over 50 centimeters. Usually you can catch small minke whales, from 150 to 300 grams, the size of a palm, hunting not far from the shore. Humpback whales under 1 kilogram and more are rare in catches.
Although the common river perch is very similar in appearance to the American yellow perch, at the genetic level they are not related.
Winter spinners for perch differ from spinners for winter fishing for other types of fish only in size. Most often these are not large 3-7 centimeter, narrow-bodied baits, made of copper, brass, stainless steel plates with or without galvanic coating.
To increase the weight and solder the hook, lead is soldered onto one of the surfaces of the spoon. There can be from one to three hooks.
On some models, instead of a soldered hook, a tee or chain with a hook is hooked through the winding ring.
Vibration in the water column is created by shape and bending.
Sometimes, for winter fishing, summer oscillating spoons of small sizes with a driven body are replaced.
Winter fishing rods for trolling.
Winter fishing rod for fishing, is a handle made of lightweight thermal insulation material(foam, wood, neoprene, etc.) and a thin whip inserted into it from any durable lightweight material. At the request of the fisherman, the trolling rod is equipped with a reel or reel for winding fishing line. To better control bites, many anglers attach a nod to the tip of the whip.
“It is important that after tension you must stop immediately. Each lure has its own nod. The material for manufacturing can be a nipple, a metal plate or a polymer material. Anything that has plasticity.”
Important “When choosing the length of the fishing rod, you should take into account the time of year and the activity of the predator. Length should be 35-70 centimeters. For active play against an active predator, a long whip is preferable; in the dead of winter, for passive play, a short one.”
It’s not difficult to make tackle with your own hands at home, the main thing is to choose the right material and tool.
As a cord for fishing at depths of up to 5-6 meters, it is more convenient to use monofilament fishing line with a diameter of 0.14-0.22 millimeters according to the domestic classification. Over 5 meters 0.3-0.4 millimeters.
The line on the reel should be at least 1-2 meters deeper than the depth in the intended fishing location. If possible, you need to wind 15-30 meters.
It is not advisable to use a thin, light braided cord for a fishing rod; it floats too much in the wind, clings to the edges of the hole and leads to the failure of the correct play of the spoon.
When fishing with a tackle, with a small 3-5 centimeter bait, a metal leash is not advisable, coarse material has a bad effect on the vibrations made by the spoon when gliding in the water column and alarms the fish. To quickly change bait, attach a small carabiner to the end of the cord.
How to catch perch spoons.
The nature of the game of spinners can be divided into 4 types.
Carnation.
Carnation spinner. The most recognizable spinner, known since Soviet times, does not stand out much in its variety of shapes, as well as in its play. Works at depths of 1.5-2 meters. The game is played as follows.
We lower it to the bottom. We wind the fishing line about five centimeters. Next is a smooth rise of 15-30 centimeters and a reset. The spoon falls almost vertically, making slow vertical oscillations. Sometimes it deviates slightly by 20-30 degrees to the side. Oddly enough, this particular bottom spoon may be the only one that perch bites in the dead of winter. Well suited for catching active perch. According to tactile sensations, this is one short blow when the fishing line is tensioned after the bait falls. There are several types (St. Andrew's nail, deadlock, prohibition nail, narrow).
Gliding (floating).
Oscillating spinners. The peculiarity of such spinners is that when they fall, they do not fall like a nail, but take a horizontal position and, oscillating, go far away from the hole. Having pulled the fishing line, they lower smoothly, waddling from side to side until they assume a vertical position.
A bait of this type is lighter in weight than a nail, the body shape is concave or convex, and slightly curved. Winter trolling of perch is most often done with such spoons. It allows you to catch perch at depths of up to 5-6 meters, below which it turns into an ordinary nail.
Method of play. Slow rise to a height of up to 60 centimeters and a sharp release (lowering the tip of the rod to its original position). When pulling the line, this game feels like a light pull, with virtually no impact.
If necessary, the technique for catching perch at depths of more than 6 meters changes from wide swings to short sharp throws and lowering of the fishing rod, the swing is equal to the length of the bait. Names of planners (small fry, Matveychikova, torpedo, slipper, etc.)
Bulk.
To lure perch, loose lures are used; they differ from others in that when they fall in the water column, they do not fall like a nail and do not glide, but turn over horizontally to the bottom, and slowly sinking, as if they flutter (crumble), creating small 
oscillatory movements.
Such vibrations are created by shifting the center of gravity to the center of the bait and the absolute symmetry of the sides with an acute angle in the center of the entire length.
It is very good to catch loose fish in snags.
The playing technique involves a slow rise to any height and a sharp drop. Throwing bait is contraindicated and can scare away a predator or lead to snags in snags.
Loose (half diamond, coffin, Alaskan, vandal, joker, tube, bug).
The hanging time is long; a double blow to the hand helps determine the behavior of the spinner. The first, when the fishing line was stretched, the second, the bait took a vertical position.
Step.
Another bait that is used to lure perch in winter is a step. The bait is a narrow strip with an inwardly concave, slightly bent crescent shape.
Retrieving with a step can be classified as retrieving, which is done with a short swing and a sharp release of the spinner.
Steps (tube, vandal, etc.).
Catching lures for perch
Made of two copper plates with a soldered single hook in the wide part and an eye in the narrow part, for attaching to a fishing line. The space between the plates is filled with tin.
Catching perch with the Andreevskaya spoon is carried out with smooth, wide rises and a sharp drop, and the bait goes vertically, slightly deviating to the side.
Torpedo spinner.
It has a torpedo-shaped body, is made of a slightly concave plate and tin soldered onto it. Works with both single soldered and triple soldered lugs.
Game. Smooth wide rise and sharp drop.
Coffin.
Loose spinner. It is made from two metal plates, both one material and different.
Plays well with smooth rise and sharp release.
Tube.
Cut from various metal tubes. Length from 30 mm to 130 mm. One angle is 30 degrees, attached to the fishing line, the other 45 is attached to the tee. The most versatile spinner that can animate various games depending on the wiring and load. Plays both at shallow depths and at depths of up to 17 meters. Recommended fishing line is 0.4 mm.
“With a spoon you can catch not only a predator, but also quite peaceful fish, rudd, roach, bream.”
Catching perch in winter with a spoon.
Perch fishing cannot be successful without the ability to find the hunting fish. It rarely happens that a perch using a spoon in winter is caught in the first hole drilled and the fisherman immediately finds a school. Therefore, winter fishing for perch with lures is popular. To find a parking place you have to drill many holes.
And yet there are classic superficial signs that will help with the search.
- Branches of coastal trees frozen into ice.
- The edge of the growing reeds.
- A tree that fell into the water.
- Driftwood.
- Places where small streams flow into the main riverbed.
- Glades of frozen burdocks on the ice surface.
- Cloudy ice on a section with clear ice.
Beginners can try to find fish based on availability large quantity old holes with signs of repeated and long visits to this place.
Marks left near catchable holes (a bunch of straw stuck into a hole, a stick frozen in ice, etc.).
- If these signs do not help, then you can try to look for a predator by measuring the depth; as a rule, perch does not really like places with a depth of more than 4 meters and stays on the dump. I dumped a place with a sharp change in depth, for example from 4 to 4.5-5 at a distance of 3-5 meters between two holes.
- In the clearings. An elevated plateau in a deep place.
- A border of underwater vegetation or a clear spot in a clearing with algae.
- Flooded driftwood.
Two guys are sitting fishing, but they don’t bite. They sit for a long time. Suddenly one of them gets a bite. He pulls out a kilo-sized perch, but it doesn’t fall into his hands. Jumping, spreading his thorns. Lucky asks his neighbor.
Vasya, what should I do with him?
“Some fishermen themselves arrange places for predator ambushes, freezing tree branches into ice, and in advance of freezing, lowering a sheet of iron, slate, etc. to the bottom of the reservoir in places with grass.”
