Don't let this guy fool you folks. Only person I have ever gone fishing with and got tired of catching fish. He makes it look easy and it might not always be so. However I am going to make one of those kits. Thanks for the idea.
Hello from Australia, Enjoyed watching your video. Up until recently, I would stagger down to a river or lakeside with a heap of rods and gear then just end up using one outfit. Now I use a couple of handlines with minimum gear. I seem to still catch a feed. Since watching your video I've made up a pocket fisherman kit from a button tube that I got at a sewing store. A fun way to fish and very compact.
@nadrous01 I never thought of the clay but was given a cork from a burbon bottle and found the bobber inside the kit worked better. Since using it all summer last year I have made a few upgrades to the whole kit. The clay is a great tool to keep in mind to tinker with this year. Thanks for the comment and suggestion.
Now that was fast catch :O Now tell me, did someone hook the fish on for Ya? :)) JK
Yeah, what size of hooks You use? Figured out, one should take in consideration how big fish lives in the nearby waters and put hooks in the kit according to possible fish weight, I'd go with at least 3 types of hooks, 2 of each size in case of...
That badboy puts meat in the frying pan for sure. I just made one recently, having had a chance to really try it out yet. Looking forward to it. Love the videos man!
It sure enough does. I keep it in my pack and look forward to trying it out this winter. I think things may slow down a bit on the action but I'm betting it will still do its thing.
my micro fishing kit is floss some flies and a small knife i made out of a hacksaw blade.

2 segestions. number one you can make a sinker with wraping clay around the line. number 2 you can make a bober out of a wine bottle cork.
