    About that worm digging device; you could also put that stick in the mud and wobble it around to get worms, this is because then they think it's raining and when that actually happens they'll drown, so that's why they come up, for the mole method they'd also be digging downwards, that's why I recommend this method more.

    Tip from a life-long fisherman. If you are using the weak line that you are, it's really important to make your rod as flexible as possible, so that it can take some of the strain. Any kind of young wood would work well, so long as it is nice and springy, and bends well under minimal stress. It makes it easier to cast the line (elastic to kinetic energy), play the fish (much more sensitive) and doesn't strain the line as much. Hope this tip might help for version 2.0!

    Well this fishing pole was way overdeveloped for it own good. I'd be way easier to simply use a long stick (preferably bit flexible at the tip), attach the silk to the to up to the tip and have the silk for the wire be the length of the pole. and a bone hook. This way you can cast quite properly and actually catch fish (without cheating by adding modern wire and hook). If you wanted to be fancy, you could have done a compound rod. Reel is for bigger fish.

    I agree. That fishing rod looks over-engineered. You can actually get the same result (roughly same size of fish) with just horse tail line tied to the end of a rod. To fish, you just dangle the line into the water from a pier then jerk the rod up when you caught something. You also don't need a floater, since you can feel the fish pulling on the line. I used to do on a lake in upstate NY during summer.

    Pro tip to catch worms, 1. soak some cardboard in the water. Leave it on the garden soil at night. 2. return in the early morning before the sun rise. 3. Flip the cardboard, you'll get dozen of worms in it. But it depends on the quality of soil, if it's a good soil you can get 2-3 dozen.

Google "peace silk" to learn more about the moral questions involved-apparently there's a movement to raise awareness about this kind of stuff.

    You can use an empty cocoon as what's called a "staple fiber"; a term that refers to any fiber that's found as several short lengths. Wool and cotton are staple fibers, to make long threads you must first spin them. Staple fibers are fine for clothing, but for a fishing line you ideally want long, unbroken strands--and those are obtained by boiling an unbroken (and thus occupied) cocoon.

    When me and my family go fishing, we actually make fishing poles sometimes if there isn't enough poles for everyone. People love to leave their tangled lines by the river so it takes just a couple minutes to find some good line. Bamboo grows everywhere so it's also easy to find, for the float we use a piece of styrofoam, that's also easy to find specially from abandoned coolers. The hook is a bit difficult to find but we always have some extra ones, then we just attach everything and there you go, a fishing pole.

    Biggest thing that’s stopping them from fishing properly to get foot fish is that they are using a WAAAAAY to big hook, the oldest way people made hooks for small mouth fish and small fish is with a small splinter of bone, sharpened on both sides, and then tied off on the center of the bone splinter. It’s sharp, the length of the bone determines the size of the mouth of the fish it will catch and it’s a very very good way of getting a small fish. LOVED the video! Keep making more!
