Hope you enjoy this short one. For those from the U.K., remember it is illegal to use a handline in freshwater rivers and lakes, but you can use them sea fishing 👍🏻

Thank you for your nice videos, and most particulary for your elocution ; you speak slowly and you articulate, so I can get all the words since I'm French. I looking forward to try the hobo fishing line, but I think I must be the worst fisherman ever : I even failt to catch fishes with a bottle trap ( but maybe the entrance hole was too big, and they gone out after eating some bread ). Hopefully, my meal that night ( last night actually :D ) wasn't depending of that catch

@thopkins22 misinformation?? this law was most likely implemented to protect salmon and those land owners whom earn money from them being caught. They charge by the rod. Poachers tend not to use rod and reel but handline and net or even barehand (tickling).

It's only illegal when you get caught 😂😂😂

Back in the early 70’s I saw the street kids in Mexico using this method fishing for bass and other game fish . It worked .

Old wooden pepper mills are great, has a nice saddle to them and easy to grip on the hand. And having breathable storage helps prevent things getting funky

Nice job. You're becoming quite adept at these "how-to" videos! Thorough explanations. Nice job.

Very valuable video! Thank you! You really show precisely how to make a poacher’s stick. You don’t assume that all viewers are experienced woodcarvers. Bravo!

Good to see someone else using the little sewing machine spools, for storing line and thread, I get them from a "Chinese emporium", 4 on a card for about €1. I always have a few in my pack with different line and threads stored in a Lidl's soluble vitamin container. I always have a handline in my kayak.

Michael nice looking carve you did. Glad you caught a small bass. You're right about if it's a big one let it wear out first. Hey love it when Dustin teams up with you. Thanks for sharing Mike 👍 ... Arkansas Clyde 🇺🇸✌️

Perfect rainy day project like you said!

Simple and useful, I want to build one now. Very catchy.

I use the Mora wood carver and was ECSTATIC that they have a fixed hunter! Thank you for making me aware!

Awesome mate, was looking into buying one, may well have to give this a go instead! Cheers mike 👍🏼

Thanks pal. Saw this a while ago and made one in my spare time the last couple of days.

Great job, thanks for the reminder with knife safety. I will have to try making a few of these.

Class tutorial. Really simple but effective. Thanks for sharing.👍

Awesome and enjoyable to watch how you made this hobo reel. Definitely will be making one now after watching you show how it's done. ❤

Awesome bit of kit.

Not that I didn't enjoy earlier ones, obviously, because I'm still watching but I'm really enjoying these 'new style' vids. More of each please. 🙌🙌🙌

I bought the Ka-bar Kaster but I know I'll be making more on my lathe for gifts and I may make my son one like you showed how to do, he likes old methods. I'm glad I watched, it was well made and explained, I learned how to make a capped end from your video which could be applied on other projects. Love the simplicity of this type of fishing, I think I'll like it

What a nifty idea! Great for kayaking too!👍👍

Experts do everything light and simple.

When we was kids we used tin cans. I caught my first bass with one

The wooden one is beautiful!

Great job been thinking of making one for my camping bag.

Thank you , Mike .

Im making one out of plastic pipe, but knowing i can make one in the wild is great.. great videos, thank you..

Great video! Everything I needed to know. I can make this now! Thanks!

Excellent Mike, this video as helped me loads mate. At the end it shows how effective the hand line is. I'll be on this and making one at the weekend. Big thanks man 👍

You can use a flat spool from child’s kite too. Easy to pack but it can’t hold any extra items. Here in the southern USA, I see Mexican men simply wrapping fishing line around their hands to catch fish. All your ideas shown here are really good.

Thanks for a good information! Regards from 🇵🇪

Nice work Mike! I too make gift hobo reels. I have 6" clear tubes with tapered cork stoppers. I wrap the reel end with duct tape & triple up 1" Ranger Bands to create the spool, I run 3lb mono, tie on a snap swivel & attach a #8 snelled hook which I fasten down to the spool with a R. Band & I lightly stick the hook into the cork stopper, so it's ready to go on site. The tubes are filled with hooks, split shots, jigs/heads, spoons, inline spinners etc & a small cut off piece of cork stopper is a float if needed. You might want to add to your hearty collection: a Cuban Hand Reel- it looks like a plastic tire hub- 6" or 9" or 12" diameter, bright colors. Only glitch is left handers have to respool it lefty. Hold it 4 fingers & use your thumb as the drag & tensioner. Ciao!

Very nice!

Looks fun to make as well

Very informative Mike, cheers. Definitely going to give this a go, might have more luck with one of these than a rod and reel..... :-)

Hi again, it was myself and friend john who made the first hobo line you showed, i have improved it over the years, glad you are still using it lol , handy bit of kit to have, should last a lifetime. Keep up the good work👍

This is wonderful! I've been wanting to better learn how to fish, but i'm also interested in backpacking, bushcraft, etc and felt like taking a fishing rod probably wasnt a thing. This is the solution! Other than perhaps bow fishing... Lol. This is more discreet.

Great idea mike . Thought it was harder than that ...

great video i made one with sink waste pipe works well

Good video thank you

We always fish like this in Mauritius..We put our line on a pvc tube..that is more easy to find..thank you

Nice video Mike 👍🎣.

That looks Awesome Mike 👏 I think I will have a go at making one of those in the next day or so 🙂 great video, really interesting & informative 👍 Take care & Stay safe my friend 🙂🙏👍

Heck yeah! Morakniv!

Super nice vid m8. As I live near a river & several creeks here in the US. Been looking 4 something like this. Always getting snagged up in trees & brush on the banks. Hoping this type will help.

Awesome video 👍🙏💖

All you have to really do is buy a heavy braided line on a spool & cut out the spokes in the inside of the spool , sand the inside so sharp plastic don’t cut you & drill out 8 small holes 4 on each side of the spool but you need to stagger them , you use these for making a loop & thread it thru one of them & hang from a tree voilà you have yourself a yo-yo like fishing thingy . Use a 30 pound braided line if you don’t want your line to snap or you don’t want the fish to get away . You can always carry your tackle in a small thick ziploc bag that way if you happen to land a big fish & you get the spool taken out of your hand you still have the rest of your tackle minus your spool & line . I made numerous ones & I always have one handy where ever I go .

Can you show how you set up the actual line, floats, weights the hook etc? Loving the videos!

I worked w some Mexican guys on a horse farm when I was younger. They would wrap line around a beer bottle and twist it to reel it in. It worked! They caught just as many fish (or more) than the guys using traditional rods and reels.

seen a vid, hobo fish line one end, made from plastic pipe, hooks etc inside.. top end.. The handle again plastic pipe, had snares etc in it.. looked good, always looking to minimse, etc..

I’m sure eating it won’t effect the rest of the population bro. Governments should be holding corporations and companies responsible for over fishing.. not us! Loved your vid and will be making mine tomorrow! Cheers from Australia

Good video

I was fishing one time without a rod, just a reel. I put alot of weight on so I could get a good cast, but forgot to let go of the release button and I hooked my friend in the nose right below his eye. We had to go to the ER and have it removed. So I'll second the part about not fishing around people with the hobo reel

Yes i have done it

I am a massive fan hope to join your video one day

Hi Mike! You ever look into Tenkara fly fishing for your hikes? Really awesome tool for those fisherman who like to reach remote streams for that trout bite ;)

Hi Michael, A possible improvement, use braid, something like 50lb same size as 15lb mono, the only drawback is line burn but you get this from mono as well. The positive side is instant feel and no stretch on the strike. Tight lines, Mark

@TAOutdoors

4 жыл бұрын

Yes, but braid is not abrasion resistant like mono, it would be useless rock fishing with this unless I tied a very long leader of mono or fluorocarbon

my grandmother used a corncob pipe, she would smoke and fish at the same time.

I’d be really interested in seeing how that float is made.

2" pvc 12" cap off top drill 1/8 hole in block off cap for para. cord . spool line 10 lb test pocket hooks,lead,worms,bobber.

I got a fishing friend named hobo. : )

I use a fishing rod with an extra ferrule fashioned from a piece of wire. This ferrule sticks out 3 or 4 inches from the rod, so i can wind the hobo reel around it with my right hand. Would this possibly be a legal rod and reel in the U.K.? And those are some cool reels you have. Thanks for sharing.

What sort of rigs would you use on this hand reel for sea fishing?

I have a newb question, since you hold the line with your hand, how doesn't it get cut when fighting the fish or reeling a bit faster? Thanks!

What watch is that good sir?

Would bamboo work?

Think you should have mentioned that Hand Lining or using a Hobo Reel is illegal in Ponds and Rivers in the UK, but as shown can be used coastal fishing.

Is this method legal in UK 🇬🇧 ?? Plz someone tell me, and can I use it on lake,river.

what if you dont have tape to pin the line down

Not really on topic for this video, but... seeing as you have a daughter now, how about some bushcrafted baby gear? Even just as proof of concept, I understand 6 months might be a bit young to *actually* bring her out into the woods with you, but just imagine IF you had to bug out into the woods, while keeping her safe and happy, what would be some challenges of that?

Why wouldn't you want to use a 30 + braided pound test,so you don't get hung up,you can just pull it in,I don't know,that's just what I put on mine anyway,I've used it in the Ohio river,it did well with a 20 lbs catfish ..
