Got these thinking they were the slightly larger Panfish floats czcams.com/users/postUgkx_rJB7cli5f1ofPVGgn80S7Yj4vqwq0gU they work just fine. The smaller size lets me carry more in my tackle box, and the 3 color choices are nice for different lighting conditions, backgrounds, etc. They aren't the most durable things in the world. But, as cheap as they are, it's not heartbreaking to lose one or have to replace a worn one. The price on these fluctuates wildly, from about $9 to almost $16. So, time your buy accordingly.
I save my empty line spools to put used line back on. Pick out a spade bit that fits snug in the center hole and wind it off with the drill just like you did with the dowel.
A little late but ... Love your vids. For a line remover, you can take a plastic soda bottle cap or Gatorade cap and drill a hole in the middle of it. Screw in a 1/4'- 3/8" bolt with the bolt threads pointing out of the top of the cap. tighten on a nut and stick the bolt shaft in your drill. Screw on an old plastic bottle, tie your line to the bottle, and strip the line off of your reel. The larger diameter bottle makes it go fast. When done throw away or recycle the bottle with the line on it and use another bottle next time. Free if you have the bolt, and reusable forever.
Man I tell you what I'm a old boy from NC myself who watches fishing videos all the time and by far yours has some of the best tips I've ever seen...keep em coming
Comment/question> About the glow in the dark rod tips. Back in the day, you could buy small battery operated flashlight with a mini black light. STREN line used to glow in the black light so if you had your light on at night, you could see the line. I have not night fished for years so I don't know if this is still true or not. Plus the orange poles you had show also glow pretty good under a black light. Used to use little , what we called jingle bells and attach to the pole.
In the UK. I use small chemical glow sticks. Fix it to the top of my rod tip, with electrical insulation tape. Some of the glow sticks will last days. So if you stick the n the freezer, they'll stop glowing. Take it out and as it defrost, it glows again. Just make sure you dispose of the in the dustbin / trash can. Not throw them into the water or leave the on the ground.
Good stuff! Line off spool. I use an empty paper towel tube. It fits snug right over the outside of the chuck of my drill that is the same size as yours. Then just throw it in the trash.
Love ALL your videos; even though i’m a hardcore saltwater fisherman! I got a quick hack for you to try out...to wash off the fish smell I use 2 types of soap just as a dry rub with no water when I get to the car...but at home in the bathroom get a bit of soap, shampoo, conditioner, bodywash...i use whatever is in squirt bottles - works like a charm! Thank you for making these videos!
I am in Australia and I share your videos with my brothers who are keen fishermen. Thank you from across the globe. Being stroke affected I am limited with what I can do with one hand. But I still get to wet as line with my shimano, one handed casting reel. Love your videos.
Lately we've been taking g a small roll of garden wire with us and securing small smooth rocks with it for weights. For riverbank fishing it beats leaving a pound of lead on the bottom each time out. We also fish from a canoe so while waiting for bites when shore fishing we wrap some stones to keep ready for using walleye rigs from the canoe.
Another good hack I like to store my loose hooks and a wine stopper. It keeps them organized and keeps me from poking my fingers on them when they’re loose in the tacklebox. Just stick all your hooks around the end, it works great keeps them all organized and fits nicely in the box.
Larry Johns; saw your hack on respooling your reel using a dowel, which is good , but if you use an old medicine bottle , drill a 1/4 inch hole in the lid insert 1/4 pan head bolt and nut - tighten - run in drill , when full remove and drop the whole thing in a Fishing line recycle ben at fishing store , Hey ! It's all plastic . Thank you ! Really Enjoy your Channel .My Favorite ..😁👍
Also you can use the wine corks to keep your hooks in so they don't get tangled and float if they fall in the water. I use one for small, medium, and large hooks.
Thank you Sir , I appreciate that . I read that on a bass fishing article and always remembered it , I found it very interesting and thought other ppl would too
If you have a aquarium and the power goes out you can but hydrogen peroxide and sliced up potatoes in a bottle with a air tube an air stone coming out the lid it will provide oxygen to the water for your fish
My grandfather use to drill a small hole threw old corks like that. Then he put a wooden Skewer threw the middle of it. He could tie his fishing line to the Skewer. I have some of them in his old Tackle box that my grandmother give me after he past away. Back in his day, they used corks for whisky bottles. That's where got his. My grand father was big on fishing and even made his own fly hooks.
I preciate you! The hacks are indeed awsome and I like your delivery. Wish I knew of you 25 years ago when I was serious into fishing. Fact is this video may be just what I needed to get on back to it. My motto was when fishing " if I happen to catch some fish it's a bonus". Just being out on the water away from all the bs is worth the price of admission! Hats off to you for a video well done!
Ol my , thank you so much . Your comment just made my day . I actually love building stuff as much as I do using fishing ...... and it's a good thing too cause CZcams keeps me busy lol , also me and you are a lot alike cause I feel the same way , I enjoy going fishing , catching is just a bonus lol . You should start back fishing I have it up for about 15 years or so . . I fished all the time when I was young then stopped when I had babies to raise . But I eventually got back nto it . I'm editing another Hack video now believe it or not lol . I'll be posting it ta day our tomorrow lol
Great as always .I started making bobbers using the cheap ? white ping pong balls that Academy sports sells (50 at $12) and coffee stirrers from Walmart (100 for $2-$3) just use a small drill bit the size if the stirrer drill straight through both sides , try to keep it straight,and slip the stirrer through the pong ball and super glue jell on both sides. You can make 2 bobbers with one stirrer( cut the stirrer in half). Thanks and keep up the good work.
Go ahead brother, that's what we're all here for ,to share and learn. I've also experimented using soda bottle tops of different colors and super gluing them together (open ends) and let dry then drill a hole and put the stirrers through it and finish by super gluing the straws in. Yes I loose a lot of bobbers fishing from the bank, And again thanks for all you do and I'm honored that you'd ask to use my idea, Thanks.
You don't need to use ketchup, you can use any acidic (safe) substance. It's the acid that breaks down the scent molecules. Try white vinegar, lemon juice, even orange juice. I use white vinegar to clean everything including the bathroom, floors, kitchen counters, even clothes.
VERY informative video, that was great! I like #8. We go to the Dollar Store and buy packs of small glow sticks, about 3 or 4 inches long, then use small zip ties to attach them to the rod tips. They're cheap, easy, and each one lasts for hours. Usually, one a night per rod will do ya.
Ive done that too man and it works good I was just thinking about a way you could get away from having to keep extra stuff , I'll update it if it works out lol , I appreciate you watching Sir
You can wash your hands with tomato juice also, it'll take the stank off your hands. If your dog gets sprayed by a skunk, you can pour tomato juice on it and scrub it down good then rinse her off.
Thank you Sir , to many serious people in the world today , and they always getting offended about everything , so I'll just make fun of myself hahaha , I appreciate it brother
My fishing hack night fishing.I use salty hot dogs this is for when the bait shops are closed..go to the all night store get a soda in a cup grab a few extra lids.I call this my strike indicator.cast ur bait out loop your line back put the lid where the straw hole is push it and the slack line onto your rod.the lid when the fish pulls the lid going over the eyes makes a racket fish on.that's my hack.
I made my line stripper with a 10/32 bolt and nut. Drill a hole in the center of a pop bottle cap. Stick the bolt & nut on it. Bolt goes in the drill. Twist an empty pop bottle on the cap. Bigger dia pulls line off faster. Chuck the bottle in the recycle bin.
Does nobody else drink wine? I have kept my own wine corks for a few decades - back into the 1970s at least. They have an enormous number of uses because they are such a great flotation and insulating material. I farm in Portugal where the cork grows. They do make great fishing floats too.
I've never been a big wine drinker lol . I tried to drink some because they say it good for your health , but I liken to have never finished that bottle lolol
@@FishinNStuff If you only use the corks for fishing floats then pay for the wine and I will send you the corks. Seriously you should try a few wines. You look the sort of man who enjoys his food without being greedy, and with a bit of experimentation you will find a wine to suit most things you eat. It really does add to the enjoyment. For the record, I am not a wine producer, just a wine drinker. I grow olives.
For cat fishing at night I use short glow sticks from the dollar store. Either stick them in the top rod guide or use a clothes pin an just clamp the glow sticks wherever. Awesome videos!! Keep them coming bud!!
I use a coke bottle hotglued to a wood dowle(no need to cut line off because bottle collapses and line slides off end) and I also use gloss white spray paint on the end of my rods and most nights I don't even need lights because you can see the rod tips in the moonlight
Instead of a wooden dowel we always used pencils. Everybody and they momma has a pencil somewhere. Cheap glow paint is fingernail polish. It also holds up pretty good if you want to add some touches to baits. After halloween you can pick it up on clearance for like 25 cents a bottle. I suggest dropping 2 BBs down in the bottle, the pigment settles and takes forever to shake up. The BBs act like the marble in a spray can.
Great hacks, watched lots of them. Made some also. Loved the the buckets. Barney from north bay ontario canda. Ice fishing coming... Stay safe. Fish lots.
8:03 I have another method,i flag using those green plastic bells you find in every fishing shop. If you mount them in the top of the casting stick,sometimes the fish bites and comes toward coast,so you won't see in time,but placing them like you did,on the line,they make a lot of noise when they go up,also if they go down and hit the ground. Important: always put them with the bells toward the reel,so it won't twist the line when you lift.
@@FishinNStuff The funny is i invented it by necesity ,once ,when i forgot my old flags home,LOL That happened 20 years ago,but from that day i always use it ,as is very sensitive also for the small fishes wich bite and run.
Rad, If you don't have ketchup to clean your hands you can use table salt. Wet your hands and pour about 1/2 a teaspoon on your hands rub them together just like washing and rinse. fish smell is gone. This is also great for getting rid of onion and garlic orders from your hands. Another use for salt: To get the fish blood out of your white tee shirts or whatever you splattered blood on. Wet the blood spot/s with COLD water, (warm or hot water will set the blood and it will stain), sprinkle salt on wet blood spot, rub the salt in to make a paste, let it dry, then wash & dry as usual. Blood is gone.
ITS REFRESHING AS HECK TO HAVE A SMART PERSON WHO IS WILLING TO SHARE HIS KNOWLEDGE, ALSO NOT TRYING TO SELLYA A BUNCH OF SH$$.THANKS FOR THE VIDS OVIEDO FL..
Thank you brother, thanks for the kind words , thanks for watching and mostly thanks for calling me smart haha most ppl just think I'm crazy , but if you can't have fun it ain't worth doin lol I appreciate you leaving an awesome comment buddy
I’m guilty..I’m guilty!! I judged you by how you speak. So glad I didn’t let it keep me from finishing your videos. I’m now a subscriber and a believer. Great videos thanks.
for fishing hack #9 , you can buy paramedic shears waaaaay cheapper and those can even cut even some metal sheets, I've even cut bicycle steel brake cable with them
For night fishing I usually use a bell. But my dad is hard of hearing so I have started using the cheap $1 packs of glowsticks bracelets. I use electrical tape to put 2 joints on the pole and then you can just pop the sticks in and out.
You can use some Pipe Cleaner as Flags. Bend it, add some weight and you are done. Or if you fishing at night. Use some Kinder Eggs. You can put a mini glow stick inside.
I agree ,, a lot of crazy in America but really I'm just comfortable acting stupid to make ppl laugh while most ppl like you for example are worried about other peoples impression and opinion of you , and that's weakness
Hey like your hacks . I fish only at night for slab crappie in Tennessee , several months ago I tried painting my rod tips with glow in the dark paint after sanding them a little with a brush. It lead to uneven coverage, tried some expensive spray paint also with ok results. But then I came up with an idea so I got a piece of 1 inch PVC pipe and a cap for it about a foot long then I put a screw cap on the other end , put the paint in the pipe and dipped the rod tips in the pipe,had six painted in 5min. Let dry then reopen the eyelets by using a nail. Worked great with good heavy coverage and a green glow. Just thought I would throw that out there. Like your video on planner boards .. keepem coming
That there , is a great ideas Sir . I appreciate you sharing that . I'm going to use that technique on my own rods, I've got a FB group I just started called all things fishing DIYs and that's what it's about sharing DIY tricks with each other you should join man
@@FishinNStuff don't know 2 bothers landed in Charleston south Carolina in the 1800s from Ireland 1 supposedly went to Texas and my great grandfather went to n North Carolina where he married a Cherokee and had 4. Or 5 kids
@@CRDODGE47 you never know man , my grandfather lived in Kentucky when he was young then moved to North Carolina , still you never know I could have come from the one from Texas lol
Man that was an awesome list! There are several items on that list that I need to a dress for my own fishing and I will be updating what I do immediately. Thank you for the awesome video sir I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Using a bobber as a flag. I use to do the same thing starting back in the 1970s but instead of using a float I would use a matchbook and just close it around the line and it would hang from the rod and reel. Since the bottom of the rod and the real were close to the ground, I would put the matchbook on the line between the reel and the first ring, pull the matchbook and the line out, and lay the matchbook on the ground. When you got a fish on the line the matchbook would be dragged across the ground not only giving you a visible flag but also resulting in a noise alerting you to action.
you can also use the corks to attach to small things with a little detachable clip. if you drop them in advertantly, you can retrieve them, because they float! obviously, it wont work for larger things. for that i use pieces of pool noodle. but, if you wanted to you could do one for each lure, just incase l! but yeah, overkill and space. I usually lock everything valuable in the car and bring a single key. that would work as a floating keychain. Combine that with the glow in the dark paint or tape and you got a bright colored night time float! you seem like youd be fun to fish with. thanks for the only "hacks" video ive watched that actually has useful info in it.
Dowl to remove your line. If you just use the same dowl multiple times you take more line off quicker. Just throw a peace of tape over the last peace of your old line and do the next one. Been doing that for years
Tip 2 put the old line onto another stick then respool it onto your reel. the good line from the bottom of the reel will now be at the top of the reel the old worn out line will be at the bottom of the spool.
I posted last week missed the week before , sometimes some videos eat up a lot more time than others . Ima try and get ahead Christmas and stay on schedule next year
It's also a great way to help a plant with root rot. Any disease that staves the roots of oxygen will die from hydrogen peroxide applied to the roots and the extra oxygen will bring the plant back to life. Also good for hydroponic reservoirs.
I'm an Aussie so don't hold me to this, but l'm sure l read/saw somewhere that if you get sprayed by a skunk that you should use tomatoes/tomato sauce first to get rid of the scent before washing clothes/yourself/whatever..
Carol Taylor - half tomato paste and half whole milk works well too- a cup of vinegar also helps this mixture tremendously. Always mix me up some of this in an old butter container when I go pier fishing, squid, clam and cut bait stank is harder to get off than fish smell, people will look at ya funny but it keeps my rods and steering wheel from reeking.
10:10 My mom got a pair of those to open tough packages, but the screw that holds the 2 sides together kept loosening, so I replaced the regular nut with a wing nut so it's easy to re-tighten
What diameter Tube is best to use as an underwater LED . You said earlier that I needed 16 ft. of LED for 2 ft of tubing. What diameter is that for? What lumens strip is best? How many tubes are best or number you suggest? Is 3 inch tube any better if so how many Ft. needed for 2 ft, 3 inch tube. I join the hundreds of your followers saying, One Fantastic job you're doing!!!!!!
Watch the light videos I made the larger the diameter the tube the shorter it will be . I put 16' on a 1" tube on the last light video and it was about 2' long ive done 1 1/2 " tube its around 18" long .
For night fishing I use a small bell that clips on the end of the pole. Then I can set back around the fire and drink beer with my buddies and wait for the sound of the bell
You can wash your hands with a piece of stainless steel to get the smell off too. You can actually just rub your soapy hands on the sink if you have a stainless steel sink. Also, on the peroxide tip, I assume it would also work in your minnow bucket? Or would that be too concentrated?
You can never have enough storage for all your stuff plus the Peroxide is a great idea to stop the possibility of Infection....Add Super Glue to mend up the those nasty fishing gashes!!
Man everybody know stuff , there's things I have know clue about but other people do , that's why we help each other , no body knows it all . And when you think you do you stop learning
Haha heck I crack myself up some times when I'm editing that stupid crap I do haha , I can Just hear my wife saying,,,,,,,,,,, something's wrong with you hahaha
Well heck we practically neighbors man , I work and grew up in Gastonia, graduated from Hunter Huss back in the Stone age lol . I appreciate you subscribing man , I just posted a new Hack video today
Just subscribed. Good Channel. Seen you guys on Wylie at the 49 Bridge. You stopped by my boat. I picked up 3 nice fish out of that spot. One channel, nice Flathead and blue. I will take it since it been SLOW! :) I only found fish it 30+ water.. That drill method works great much better than those cheap line strippers. I like the ketchup hack... I need to try that so I don't go to work smelling like cut bait...
Thank you brother, I appreciate your support buddy . I was nice meeting you and getting to talk to ya . My buddy said he thought he saw you at the Great Outdoors before his son is a boat mechanic there. Ol and the Ketchup truck works great ppl used tomatoes to get the smell off of em when skunks sprayed em in the old days . That's where I learned it lol
@@FishinNStuff He did. I purchased a 40HP engine for my other boat. I live like 10 minutes from the place. Nice to meet you guys as well. You can never know to many fishing folks.!
i make rod ties with the cork by drilling a hole in the middle and putting para-cord into it and make 2 foer my rods and use them when i break them down so when i travel they won`t fall and break.
Tip for duck hunters, you can burn a wine cork and rub it on your face (let it cool first) instead of face paint, it’ll wipe right off with a towel when you get back to the truck so you don’t look like a fool at Waffle House after a hunt. and it doesn’t itch like some face paints, I always keep a lighter and a cork in my blind bag
Hey thank you Sir for watching , I really appreciate that , I didn't know where Currituck County was lol had to look on Google maps . You lucky dog you practically live at the beach haha , thanks for commenting brother
While your explanation about hydrogen peroxide is mostly correct, Oxygen as a single element is very reactive, as the single atoms of oxygen tend to quickly bond with nearby molecules. On Earth's surface, it does not exist naturally for very long. Dioxygen(O2) and Ozone(O3) are the most common allotropes on earth. So, the formula should be: 2x H2O2 -> 2x H2 / O2 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allotropes_of_oxygen#Atomic_oxygen en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_peroxide#Decomposition
Some people have phenamones that will basically make your bait unacceptable to fish. Use tomatoe juice to remove skunk smell from dogs, so catsup would probably work

The info on the peroxide is fantastic! Would have never thought about adding that to my livewell, Thanks!
I would add it before putting fish in it and give it time to break down
I save my empty line spools to put used line back on. Pick out a spade bit that fits snug in the center hole and wind it off with the drill just like you did with the dowel.
That's a good way to do it man 👍 I like it
Same here, and its easier to recycle braid, I xfer the line twice and use the good braid that never sees action, cuts the price in half
#9 & 10 is quite handy for cutting off the backstrap of the fish. It is also useful along with an icepick for performing ikiijime (活き締め).
A little late but ...

You're a riot dude, I would totally enjoy fishing with you, I like your frugal approach to everything. keep em coming....hahah, still laughing.
Thank you Sir , to many serious people in the world today , and they always getting offended about everything , so I'll just make fun of myself hahaha , I appreciate it brother
That is the greatest idea
My fishing hack night fishing.I use salty hot dogs this is for when the bait shops are closed..go to the all night store get a soda in a cup grab a few extra lids.I call this my strike indicator.cast ur bait out loop your line back put the lid where the straw hole is push it and the slack line onto your rod.the lid when the fish pulls the lid going over the eyes makes a racket fish on.that's my hack.
That's a good hack
I made my line stripper with a 10/32 bolt and nut. Drill a hole in the center of a pop bottle cap. Stick the bolt & nut on it. Bolt goes in the drill. Twist an empty pop bottle on the cap. Bigger dia pulls line off faster. Chuck the bottle in the recycle bin.
That's a good idea
Does nobody else drink wine? I have kept my own wine corks for a few decades - back into the 1970s at least.
They have an enormous number of uses because they are such a great flotation and insulating material. I farm in Portugal where the cork grows. They do make great fishing floats too.
I've never been a big wine drinker lol . I tried to drink some because they say it good for your health , but I liken to have never finished that bottle lolol
@@FishinNStuff If you only use the corks for fishing floats then pay for the wine and I will send you the corks. Seriously you should try a few wines. You look the sort of man who enjoys his food without being greedy, and with a bit of experimentation you will find a wine to suit most things you eat. It really does add to the enjoyment.
For the record, I am not a wine producer, just a wine drinker. I grow olives.
For cat fishing at night I use short glow sticks from the dollar store. Either stick them in the top rod guide or use a clothes pin an just clamp the glow sticks wherever. Awesome videos!! Keep them coming bud!!
Ive done that too , and it works really good . I appreciate it brother and thanks for commenting
I use a coke bottle hotglued to a wood dowle(no need to cut line off because bottle collapses and line slides off end) and I also use gloss white spray paint on the end of my rods and most nights I don't even need lights because you can see the rod tips in the moonlight
Instead of a wooden dowel we always used pencils. Everybody and they momma has a pencil somewhere.
Cheap glow paint is fingernail polish. It also holds up pretty good if you want to add some touches to baits. After halloween you can pick it up on clearance for like 25 cents a bottle. I suggest dropping 2 BBs down in the bottle, the pigment settles and takes forever to shake up. The BBs act like the marble in a spray can.
A pencil, I like that . And dropping bbs in the paint is genius. I'll use that . Thank you Sir
Great hacks, watched lots of them. Made some also. Loved the the buckets. Barney from north bay ontario canda. Ice fishing coming...
Stay safe. Fish lots.
8:03 I have another method,i flag using those green plastic bells you find in every fishing shop. If you mount them in the top of the casting stick,sometimes the fish bites and comes toward coast,so you won't see in time,but placing them like you did,on the line,they make a lot of noise when they go up,also if they go down and hit the ground. Important: always put them with the bells toward the reel,so it won't twist the line when you lift.
That's a good idea , I like it
@@FishinNStuff The funny is i invented it by necesity ,once ,when i forgot my old flags home,LOL That happened 20 years ago,but from that day i always use it ,as is very sensitive also for the small fishes wich bite and run.
@@draculakickyourass that's interesting I'l try it thank you
Take your used line to your tackle shop to be recycled.
I use a small sandpaper block for keeping a point on a pencil for sharpening hooks. Dirt cheap at hobby and art stores, and it floats!
Yeah, no
I use mini glow sticks (1 1/2 inch) taped to the end of my pole for catfishing. They work like a charm and they are super cheap!
That's a good idea
Rad, If you don't have ketchup to clean your hands you can use table salt. Wet your hands and pour about 1/2 a teaspoon on your hands rub them together just like washing and rinse. fish smell is gone. This is also great for getting rid of onion and garlic orders from your hands.
Another use for salt: To get the fish blood out of your white tee shirts or whatever you splattered blood on. Wet the blood spot/s with COLD water, (warm or hot water will set the blood and it will stain), sprinkle salt on wet blood spot, rub the salt in to make a paste, let it dry, then wash & dry as usual. Blood is gone.
That's some awesome tricks . And salts easier to get than ketchup
ITS REFRESHING AS HECK TO HAVE A SMART PERSON WHO IS WILLING TO SHARE HIS KNOWLEDGE, ALSO NOT TRYING TO SELLYA A BUNCH OF SH$$.THANKS FOR THE VIDS OVIEDO FL..
Thank you brother, thanks for the kind words , thanks for watching and mostly thanks for calling me smart haha most ppl just think I'm crazy , but if you can't have fun it ain't worth doin lol I appreciate you leaving an awesome comment buddy
@@FishinNStuff Crazy as a fox, maybe and what if the ones that are deemed crazy are the most sane and the rest of us are the nut jobs?
I enjoyed your video. I am a huge fan of ambassador reels. My step dad fixes them as a hobby. It is the only reel i have ever had.
I love em too . Man only round reel I use
I’m guilty..I’m guilty!! I judged you by how you speak. So glad I didn’t let it keep me from finishing your videos. I’m now a subscriber and a believer. Great videos thanks.
Thank you Sir , i just like to act stupid hoping to make somebody smile . There's enough serious stuff going on now days without me adding too it lol
for fishing hack #9 , you can buy paramedic shears waaaaay cheapper and those can even cut even some metal sheets, I've even cut bicycle steel brake cable with them
For night fishing I usually use a bell. But my dad is hard of hearing so I have started using the cheap $1 packs of glowsticks bracelets. I use electrical tape to put 2 joints on the pole and then you can just pop the sticks in and out.
I've used em too they definitely do help at night
You can use some Pipe Cleaner as Flags. Bend it, add some weight and you are done. Or if you fishing at night. Use some Kinder Eggs. You can put a mini glow stick inside.
You crack me up with the looks and stuff! Good blend of information and comedy. Haha good stuff.
Thank you brother, I appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave an awesome comment
I agree ,, a lot of crazy in America but really I'm just comfortable acting stupid to make ppl laugh while most ppl like you for example are worried about other peoples impression and opinion of you , and that's weakness
Hey like your hacks . I fish only at night for slab crappie in Tennessee , several months ago I tried painting my rod tips with glow in the dark paint after sanding them a little with a brush. It lead to uneven coverage, tried some expensive spray paint also with ok results. But then I came up with an idea so I got a piece of 1 inch PVC pipe and a cap for it about a foot long then I put a screw cap on the other end , put the paint in the pipe and dipped the rod tips in the pipe,had six painted in 5min. Let dry then reopen the eyelets by using a nail. Worked great with good heavy coverage and a green glow. Just thought I would throw that out there. Like your video on planner boards .. keepem coming
That there , is a great ideas Sir . I appreciate you sharing that . I'm going to use that technique on my own rods, I've got a FB group I just started called all things fishing DIYs and that's what it's about sharing DIY tricks with each other you should join man

Thank you buddy I always enjoy your videos too
Using a bobber as a flag. I use to do the same thing starting back in the 1970s but instead of using a float I would use a matchbook and just close it around the line and it would hang from the rod and reel. Since the bottom of the rod and the real were close to the ground, I would put the matchbook on the line between the reel and the first ring, pull the matchbook and the line out, and lay the matchbook on the ground. When you got a fish on the line the matchbook would be dragged across the ground not only giving you a visible flag but also resulting in a noise alerting you to action.
That's smart thinking
use handsanitizer to wash off those fishing smell. wipe residuals off with kitch tissue. very effective.
you can also use the corks to attach to small things with a little detachable clip. if you drop them in advertantly, you can retrieve them, because they float! obviously, it wont work for larger things. for that i use pieces of pool noodle. but, if you wanted to you could do one for each lure, just incase l! but yeah, overkill and space. I usually lock everything valuable in the car and bring a single key. that would work as a floating keychain. Combine that with the glow in the dark paint or tape and you got a bright colored night time float!
you seem like youd be fun to fish with. thanks for the only "hacks" video ive watched that actually has useful info in it.
You are like a country fishin' MacGyver. Love you, man.
If you've got a bunch of extra corks and make your own carp boilies if you blend up a couple corks and add it to your dough they'll float.
Dowl to remove your line. If you just use the same dowl multiple times you take more line off quicker. Just throw a peace of tape over the last peace of your old line and do the next one. Been doing that for years
Great hints and hacks, Keith! I'm putting the peroxide one to use tomorrow!
Thank you brother I appreciate it
Tip 2 put the old line onto another stick then respool it onto your reel. the good line from the bottom of the reel will now be at the top of the reel the old worn out line will be at the bottom of the spool.
Back when I carp fished a lot , when I was younger , I did that . Mostly because I changed my line a bunch and very often
Good video !
I have been thinking, that I could probably use my drill press to turn things on it, like a lathe.
It didn't work too bad , but with a little tweaking it could work really well I believe ,
Been busy brother glad to see you back.. gonna use the line removal soon. Thanks for sharing
I posted last week missed the week before , sometimes some videos eat up a lot more time than others . Ima try and get ahead Christmas and stay on schedule next year
Some excellent advise, and by the way love the accent. Love your videos, all the way from over here in south australia👍
Never knew that about the peroxide, definitely going to try that
Thanks for watching brother
It's also a great way to help a plant with root rot. Any disease that staves the roots of oxygen will die from hydrogen peroxide applied to the roots and the extra oxygen will bring the plant back to life. Also good for hydroponic reservoirs.
I'm an Aussie so don't hold me to this, but l'm sure l read/saw somewhere that if you get sprayed by a skunk that you should use tomatoes/tomato sauce first to get rid of the scent before washing clothes/yourself/whatever..
Your right , its one of the old time solutions for getting skunk sprayed . That's what made me try it 20 years ago lol .
Carol Taylor - half tomato paste and half whole milk works well too- a cup of vinegar also helps this mixture tremendously. Always mix me up some of this in an old butter container when I go pier fishing, squid, clam and cut bait stank is harder to get off than fish smell, people will look at ya funny but it keeps my rods and steering wheel from reeking.
10:10 My mom got a pair of those to open tough packages, but the screw that holds the 2 sides together kept loosening, so I replaced the regular nut with a wing nut so it's easy to re-tighten
Well that's good thinking , I wonder if some lock tite would hold it
@@FishinNStuff That's a good point. I've actually never used lock tite so I didn't think of it as an option. I'll look into that - thanks!
fitztastico you can heat up the threads if you ever want to take it apart too.
As far as the barber as a flag it also works very well on Windy days the barber goes up when you get a bite or side to side when the wind is blowing
What diameter Tube is best to use as an underwater LED . You said earlier that I needed 16 ft. of LED for 2 ft of tubing. What
diameter is that for? What lumens strip is best? How many tubes are best or number you suggest? Is 3 inch tube any better
if so how many Ft. needed for 2 ft, 3 inch tube. I join the hundreds of your followers saying, One Fantastic job you're doing!!!!!!
Watch the light videos I made the larger the diameter the tube the shorter it will be . I put 16' on a 1" tube on the last light video and it was about 2' long ive done 1 1/2 " tube its around 18" long .
@@FishinNStuff THANL YOU , Big Time!!!
For night fishing I use a small bell that clips on the end of the pole. Then I can set back around the fire and drink beer with my buddies and wait for the sound of the bell
For fishin hack #4 I use Barbasol shave cream original. This works great too!
3:23 go through all that trouble to throw cut it up and throw it in the trash. You cracked me heck up.
I try lol 😆
that bag with the set rigs is an awesome idea
You can wash your hands with a piece of stainless steel to get the smell off too. You can actually just rub your soapy hands on the sink if you have a stainless steel sink.
Also, on the peroxide tip, I assume it would also work in your minnow bucket? Or would that be too concentrated?
I think you could use a little , I would put it in first and let it break down into oxygen and water
You can never have enough storage for all your stuff plus the Peroxide is a great idea to stop the possibility of Infection....Add Super Glue to mend up the those nasty fishing gashes!!
Thank you buddy

Just subscribed. Good Channel. Seen you guys on Wylie at the 49 Bridge. You stopped by my boat. I picked up 3 nice fish out of that spot. One channel, nice Flathead and blue. I will take it since it been SLOW! :) I only found fish it 30+ water.. That drill method works great much better than those cheap line strippers. I like the ketchup hack... I need to try that so I don't go to work smelling like cut bait...
Thank you brother, I appreciate your support buddy . I was nice meeting you and getting to talk to ya . My buddy said he thought he saw you at the Great Outdoors before his son is a boat mechanic there. Ol and the Ketchup truck works great ppl used tomatoes to get the smell off of em when skunks sprayed em in the old days . That's where I learned it lol

Cool video man. I been making wine cork bobbers since I was a kid using tobacco sacks with rocks for sinkers
That's just cool man . I'd love to see one . Post them on my Facebook page the link is in the comments
@@FishinNStuff I don't have Facebook but I'll see what I can do
i make rod ties with the cork by drilling a hole in the middle and putting para-cord into it and make 2 foer my rods and use them when i break them down so when i travel they won`t fall and break.
That ketchup hack is good to go . my hunting buddies use v8 or tomato juice to bath there dogs if they get sprayed by a skunk.
Once again amazing info and We Always learn something new that we will use thanks

Tip for duck hunters, you can burn a wine cork and rub it on your face (let it cool first) instead of face paint, it’ll wipe right off with a towel when you get back to the truck so you don’t look like a fool at Waffle House after a hunt. and it doesn’t itch like some face paints, I always keep a lighter and a cork in my blind bag
That's a good idea , ive fit buddys that duck hunt

While your explanation about hydrogen peroxide is mostly correct, Oxygen as a single element is very reactive, as the single atoms of oxygen tend to quickly bond with nearby molecules. On Earth's surface, it does not exist naturally for very long. Dioxygen(O2) and Ozone(O3) are the most common allotropes on earth.
So, the formula should be:
2x H2O2 -> 2x H2 / O2

Some people have phenamones that will basically make your bait unacceptable to fish. Use tomatoe juice to remove skunk smell from dogs, so catsup would probably work
@@gerardhaubert8210 ketchup works great , ive been using it for years . Your exactly right about the shunks lol
You can usually use tomato juice or a tomato and squash it in your hands and I do the same thing
