  • i dont get how to make the part that slides onto the straw

  • Clip the tip of the straw at a slight angle, and then cut a 1/16th inch strip, which by virtue of the elongated shape, is larger than the straw’s diameter, and will slide onto the straw to use for fastening the fishing line. Read more details at survivaltekDOTcom/?p=1851

  • what if you forget the lighter?

  • If you forget your lighter, just use something else that's hot enough to melt the plastic edges together... a match, car cigarette lighter, hot tail pipe, magnifying lens... otherwise, use a stick instead as a float.

  • Hmmm... in what respect? Did it not float? Did you have difficulty attaching the line? Did you not see the initial fish strike? More details please.

  • I've been looking for simple, light duty, highly sensitive bobbers for crappie fishing, I looked at "straw bobbers". They fetch about $1.00 a piece. The porcupine "Quill Bobber" fetches even more. Then I remembered this video. I watched and learned. I got out my tools and put your knowledge into practice. It works like a charm. It's still January. I haven't been able to try it on crappie yet but I'm sure in March I will keep more money in my pocket and put more crappie in the pan. Thanks Friend

  • @runincool01 - Thank you for your comment on the soda straw bobber... I'm pleased that you tried it out. I'd love to see the results of your fishing experience. :-)

  • Nice Vid an additional tip! If you cut two slices and slid them up the shaft before heating the ends . Your fishing line would sit snug against the bobber in two spots making the bobber more sensitive. Str8ts rules
