In a more recent video, his friend shows him a version he made himself using and PVC pipe, an end cap and a plug. I decided this was the type I'd make, but a little more robust.
I was able to get all the components I needed to build the fishing kit over the weekend. Actual construction of it took less time than I thought it would. It was a matter of sawing the ABS pipe to size, cementing the end cap, and hammering in the plug. I also drilled a hole in the threaded end cap so I could thread a piece of 550 cord through to use as a wrist sling. The final product is shown below.
A complete list of what is included in the kit:
- 1.25" ABS pipe container used for casting and holding tackle /w 550 cord sling
- 5ft Orange electrical tape for marking drop lines
- 8lbs test line wrapped around casing
- 4 floaters, varying sizes
- Variety of jigs and hooks
- Weights/sinkers
- Extra 8lbs test wrapped around 2 nails (used for drop lines)
- Zip-ties (multitude of uses for these!)
Sadly I haven't yet had the change to go out and catch anything with it yet, since I didn't pick up an fishing license this year. I should get one soon, just to play with this.
HOBO!
ReplyDeleteI love this fishing kit. I made myself one after watching a few you tube videos. It works. It's compact and very handy. I give it a thumbs up. :) May teach some little kids I know how to fish with it. Cheers.

looks great i have a large tube 4 or 5 inches in damaret and it some times gets stuck, have u had any probs with this kind of thing
ReplyDeletea 4"-5" diameter tube seems quite thick..I've used a 1 1/4" tube and have not had those problems.
ReplyDeleteHow do you all cast out the line, and reel it in. I'm really wanting to make one of these?
