3:20 Brendon I saw another bait in the tree
It’s always nice to find fishing gear. I spend quite a bit of time intentionally hunting for lost fishing gear when my local lake draws down in late summer or fall.
I’ve retrieved pounds of lead that I re-melt and cast into new jigs and sinkers. I find that a fair bit of the soft plastics are usable once cleaned and allowed to dry out for some time, usually a few weeks and the plastics that are not good can often be remelted after cleaning and allowed to dry over several months.
Metal spoons and blades, especially brass can often be polished out. I repaint those hard baits that are too worn to use as is. I polish clear diving bills using 1K to 2K wet/dry sandpaper and plastic polish and a rotary tool.
Don’t discount spinnerbaits, buzz baits and chatter baits that have hooks that are too corroded to use as is. I’ve successfully installed new hooks by cutting off part of the existing hook and using heat make a loop for adding an open eye hook to the bait. If you’re careful you won’t melt the lead. Sometimes I have to cut some of the lead off of the shank area below the head to expose good metal and I do re-temper and anneal the loops I make in the metal. This does mean that you’ll have a free moving hook instead of a fixed one (which so far actually seems beneficial and doesn’t seem to negatively effect hook up ratios) and there won’t be any retainers for soft plastic trailers, but they work fine for me. I’ve caught fish on such modified lures that otherwise would have gone to scrap for the lead. I have not been able to do this with jigs however. If the hooks are gone on those I simply wash and usually am able to re-use the skirts and melt the lead heads to make new ones.
Great video. Finding free fishing gear is always a good time especially when the fishing isn’t good because of water conditions.
Keep up the good work love these vids, always look forward to the one just after Xmas that you do.
I love the lure hunting videos ! An idea for you to make a video using these lures to catch fish for an episode...
Lately I've been seeing you catch more lures than fish but you got me hooked on these videos and I can watch from beginning to end. Spring is coming up fast out here in California so I'm hoping for good fishing soon.
always a great day when you upload much love man always looking forward to future uploads and all the stuff in the works.
I love the fish searching for fishing lures series
The fly you found is actually called a “streamer” mostly for pike in the netherlands when it is colder weather, because you can fish it very slow.
Interesting to find two of the same. Funny thing is, I found one of those the other day too lol
Quick question: have you ever had to deal with a karen when you go lure hunting or fishing?
Someone called cops on him saying he had a gun.
I'm prob just weird, but I think of that happening to me all the time... I'm waiting for it lul
I was getting screamed at while holding the fish in my pfp. Safe to say NOTHING could ever take away the joy of the massive sklunge
Always exciting to see a new video from you
Love hunting for lures!! Great find!
Nice video brendan, keep the good work up!
I need me one of those extender sticks...
Yippee! Fishing lure hunt! 💖
What do you do, with everything you find? I know you say “ new hooks and into the tackle box” but do you ever actually use them? Would be a fun video! Catching fish on lures you’ve found and repaired.
Love the videos I’ve been a old fan
Hey man where’d you get that long stick for getting lures out of trees?
They usually sell them at fishing outlets and sporting goods dtores ie. DIcks or Academy
Soooo cool!
I'd watch you magnet fishing. Gotta be a lot of stuff considering how much stuff you have found in your videos ..I have a neighbor who collects bobbers on his walk home from work and I buy them from him because he doesn't make a whole bunch of $$$ in his job
good video
Friends commentary the entire video…. “Yup.”
Can you make another tackle bag video?
Are you also a disc golf player? That looks like a disc golf retriever you are using.
Am Don Kenyan asking if we can saply you with fishing flys
please post more often 😥
Being in Ohio you must find a lot of dead bodies looking for lures. LOL
Where do you lure hunt because I want to get lures lure hunting to
I do it in several areas of lakes that get lowered. Popular fishing areas with rocks are the best for me. My cousins do it on the ocean and look in the rocks at popular fishing locations at low tide.
3:26 jerk bait, not crank bait.
What happens to the hooks on those lipless cranks? Do they fall off that easily?
The little o ring that attaches the hooks to the bait , rusts before the hooks . You put new o rings and hooks and voila
With the exception of stainless steel, hooks, even high quality hooks, rust rather quickly. I find many lures with the split rings still attached but the hooks are gone.
To illustrate this I have retrieved lures I lost weeks to months prior and the hooks are often corroded rather severely. More than once I’ve lost a lure and gone back the following week and retrieved them and even within one week’s time the hooks have already begun to corrode.
3:20 you skipped a lure
That was a musky fly those are Actually expensive
30th like !
