As a fisherman that was very helpful! As a person that admires comedy that was excellent. "I Just made a cork out of a cork. You know what I am talking about."
Yeah I was laughing editing that lol ,,,,,,,in there saying I'm so stupid lol . My wife normally agrees with me lol . I appreciate your awesome comment
Love your stuff. Can't tell you how many times I've fed the line through my guides and proceeded to gear up, only to realized I didn't close my bail first. #5 - why didn't I think of that before. Simple and awesome. Thanks!
Tip for cutting your felt for the magnet. Lay the felt on your metal bench, place magnet on felt, cut around magnet with a razor knife. No need for a writing implement and scissors. :) Love the Hacks.
Ta - Day, i found out i wasn't the only one who knew that stuff at Wal-Mart is cheaper in the hardware department than the fishing. Great hacks & information Brother. Ta - Day, i also watched your video 😁💪🎣😎
You always leave an awesome comment brother . I figured a lot of ppl already knew that too , until I went to Walmart and all the paracord was gone in the camping section and the hardware section had 24 boxs of every color hahaha I guess you and me were the only ones that knew lol
I used the rod holder extension on my old boat, had short standoffs using on a rail mount, got the things you mentioned and could have them any height. Good tip!!
Great channel by the way, wish I had some of the things in my shop that you do, it would be so much easier to make my own things versus buying, keep up the good work, hope to get to meet you some day.
Thank you Sir I appreciate you watching too , and it would be awesome to get to meet you . You just collect some and you'll have a bunch of tools before you know it lol
Lots of info and neat hacks, Keith. I did #6 (the hat hack for the cam mount) a couple of months ago. Works just fine. Always good stuff, and your videos give me ideas for other things to try, too!
Love the hacks, especially about pulling the bale off. Also, don't forget Harbor Freight for less expensive items. Picked up a dry box and extra tackle storage for great price today, thanks to your ammo box video (but didn't see the ammo boxes while I was there)
They seem to be hit and miss on the ammo boxes , I went to one Harbor Freight and bought the plastic boxes , and went to another one and all they had in stock was metal ones . I guess they sellout, Idk
I have noticed items that overlap from sporting goods to hardware. I actually remember seein needle nose in the camping sections and thinking theyre expensive for cheap needle nose and sure enough hardware dept had em way cheaper.
Sir, you are so creative and unselfish. Those hacks on your video are so helpful to us, fishermen, and save us a lot of money. Thank you sir, for sharing your brilliant ideas... May God bless you!!!
Ol now you hitting my heart strings there buddy , I hope God blesses you above anything you could ask or think . I really mean that . I appreciate you watching and leaving me an awesome comment more than you realize buddy
Great tips man! Way better than the other TH-camr vids I’ve seen out there. These are actually useful and not the same generic advice being spread over and over. Keep it up!
Wow, we (fishermen) watch a lot of videos, and see several DIY projects but yours are spot on, even if you only get just one out of the video you like, it's totally worth it. I saw a couple in yours that I will use, great stuff man, and what a personality you have, the guy that other guys want to hang out with cause your just fun...and a bit funny. Keep'em coming bro.
Well thank you man lol . I love to have a good time and joke around , I'm not quite as silly off camera but laughter is the best medicine, life's hard sho when I get on TH-cam I think taking thinks a little on the light side don't hurt lol , thanks for the great comment buddy
I never thought about checking the arts and crafts section for storage boxes for fishing tackle. I've had Plano boxes break on me and I'd always spend $8-$10.00 on new boxes. The arts and craft section is where I'm gonna head when I need a replacement for now on
Lol I did a video and posted on FB because I one day at home worked on a spinning reel that had what I would call a wobble because a screw inside had backed out. And put the line on the wrong side of the bail I cut the line then thought what the hell I could of done this and wouldn't have to cut the line. I got so many comments on how they dlnever thought about this. I still have the video.
Enjoy your videos. Please show us how to make a marker buoy power winder. I saw one advertised years ago but I can’t find it now. It looked like a cheap power screwdriver that simply plugged into a cheap marker buoy that we mark brush piles with. Sure would help because it takes forever to hand wind it in.
Good job keep it up. on the rod holder connection at home depot the rod couplings were cheaper in the section with threaded rod than in the electrical section. you have to watch all the stores for prices they are sneaky
Great hacks , I done the hat and go pro a couple of years ago because I refused to pay the high price for the one you buy . The spinning reel hack is awesome . I've tied my lure on and forgot to put it behind the bail .
Solid Video Buddy! I feel kinda smart since I have already have been doing some of these! I am going to use the camera magnet idea since I have some of those magnets laying around the house! Happy Fishing my friend!
You always helping me out and ya don’t even know know me...great video...Getting my tracker ready for Santee and your simplistic ideas are helping 100%...thanks bud
Pays to shop. I put a TTop over my center console. The Dolphin TTop windshield that is plastic with velcro was 219.00 and I found the same size and material for a golf cart on Amazon for 15.50. Looks like the same thing except the outer vinyl is tan. Love the hacks guys. I'm doing the PVC rod holder...
Hey brother, I just came across your awesome channel and im hooked. Nothing but love and respect to you and your family from Brookfield Connecticut dude!!!
You are a Genius I've got a gopro clamp mount made like that. I love the extension made to fit in the rod holder mount. Now if i can ever get time to make and use some of this stuff. Great video brother. Keep them coming
Awesome hacks Brother..! Can you please make a "Rod Pod" for the shore anglers. You might want to consult your little Engineer Lady for some help lol. Enjoy your weekend, stay safe, and "Tight Lines ".
She is awesome ain't she haha , I've been wanting to make a rod pod , the hard thing a bout making DIYs is trying to figure out a way to make em easy enough for everyone to make em . That's where I'm have to problem. But I'm working on it. I do have a couple different rod stands but they aren't rod pods
@@FishinNStuff Just consult with your little behind the scenes "Engineer " , and everything will be alright..! No one will ever know that she's the brains behind the entire operation..!. Lol. I won't tell a soul. Lol. God bless you and your Family Sir, and please keep those Awesome videos coming. Good luck fishing and "Tight Lines "..!
Hello! As a fisherwoman for a lifetime and love your diy projects but I have a very dumb question. I've seen the planner board and I'm curious what it's used for? Also I'm planning on making your black rod holder for my husband and I. Plus why haven't you showed how to use PVC as a good use in your ice chest instead of ice? A piece of PVC pipe and 2 end caps. Put some rock salt or regular salt, fill with 3/4 water. Seal and put in freezer til you need it. No mess! You can also paint them any color you like. Real good for tailgate party's.
I do have another PVC video that had the ice tubes on it . I have a bunch of hack and PVC videos lol . Ol yeah planerboard are for trolling ( for Striper , Catfish , crappie ) or anything else you troll for , and its purpose is to spread your lines a part sho you can cover more water with every pass and to keep everything from getting tangled up .
Credit to Moomoo outdoors, fish grips work well as an anchor clamp also. Its something usually on hand all ready too. Nice for when space/weight is a factor like in a kayak. Gotta love dual purpose ideas because idk about you but I always have too much stuff lol. Thx for sharing all the interesting and helpful stuff. Always a pleasure, be well.
You know what ,,,,,,,,, I never thought about using my Fish grips lol . Dang that's a great idea , I appreciate that . I've hit like 3 pair of em and I love em cause I can go netless . I mean I take a net when its necessary but I like saving space
Great hacks , the par cord price difference I did not know but I get my lock tire gel super glue from the hardware section because it is a lot cheaper over there than the school/office section . I use the super glue on my soft plastics !
man oh man the hack about taking the spool off and opening the bail on the spinning reel. That one made me feel like a nut it was so brilliant . I've left my line out of the bail a good half dozen times. I cut and tie it back every time lol no more after this.
Im probably the opposite of a "hillbilly genius" in that I have few tools, few mechanical skills and am an office worker in New Jersey. But I love fishing, I love tinkering and I'm really cheap. So it seems that we have a lot in common after all! Love all your videos man, keep them coming! P.s.: just finished building your kayak nav light, and its awesome. Never really worked with wiring before, but had fun figuring it out and cant believe it actually works!
Buddy you cant do nothing if you never try . I always tell people everything is hard if you dont know how too do it lol . Sometimes I make stuff too save money and sometimes I make stuff ( like the nav light for instance ) because theres nothing on the market as good as that light . I've tried a lot of em . I appreciate you watching brother. Ps I'm not as Hillbilly as I act . Being silly loosens me up lol
That is a great idea , I really never thought of using it on trailcams but I guess they would benifet6 even more from this being out in the rain all the time
Reel covers and lure cover are ridiculously priced. I have an old Dodge pickup that is my fishing truck. I have one piece rods. Do you have any ideas about making some reeel covers and lure protectors while being transported?
That ! Is a good idea man . I start thinking about that ASAP . That really is a good idea for a hack video . I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment brother
I just loved fishing at number three and I wished I would’ve knew fishing at five about two months ago because it happened to me and I had to cut everything lose all my loans hooks sinkers and re-thread I never thought of that thanks for that information all great Fishing hacks
A 1/4-20 bolt inserted through one of those spring clamps makes a good GoPro mount too. Clamp on almost anything and film. Also put one through a plastic tent spike for a stick-in-the-ground GoPro mount
Threaded rod maybe a little lite for extensions for bigger fish or if real long. I made my on trolling rack with 3/8 rod but I have piece of 3/4 ENT sandwiched between base and t-bar. It’s as sturdy as the what bass is mounted to.
1/2" threaded rod is plenty strong enough , I wouldn't go over 12" but for that application there's no way 20lb can bent it , which nor many reels even have 20lbs of drag . I think my ProRockets only have 18lbs of drag but most ppl only run 5lbs while fishing . I really don't see em not being strong enough
Another great video, I want to thank you for all the help you showed us how to save money 💰 And do a great job with all your Hacks , stuff I would never thought of 👍
You can also wrap the magnets with felt bring the felt back over the magnet with a eyebolt and washers on both side(to help hold the felt . This way if your into magnet fishing where there's alot of iron or when it builds up you can unbolt and wash out all the trash off your magnet.
Good deal as always some I new some I'm glad to no. So again thank you. I like the rod ex. That I'll deff remember. The corks if I ever get that away I want to get some. I have some jugs for fishing well there the budwizer bottle the aluminum bottle take off the call add a cork and eye screw and line weight and bait on a hook I seen some. I thought damn trash in the water and all beer bottles got close to one it was fish on it. So cool yea and diffent I like diffent. But need to fill good and take my boat out to try. But I got some bottles need to cork them. But hey great video sir. God bless
@@FishinNStuff aww thanks I love watching and I've told few friends I do fish with to watch and learn. So hope I can get more to watch and maybe help there fishing trips. Told them the rod holders you make better than any store and I need a new friend a welder. Lol.
Just one thing to add on the clamp/limb hack. Run the cord through in a way that when river fishing, when you clamp to a limb then the more the current pulls, the tighter the clamp grabs.
That's an awesome idea man I wish I'd thought of that , sounds like you've used one of those before , I didn't think of it because we mostly have reservoirs
I’ve had a float tied to the back of my hat as long as I can remember. I recently DIY’d one to my sunglasses, too. I was writing about cheap sunglasses, and it dawned on me that people are always losing the things.... and I had a solution. The same one you offer, here. Now I’m an old geezer, and have done this, well, for a while. It’s good to see another guy doing it. Thanks and keep hackin’! PS here’s a link to the sunglasses solution, found near the end of the post... palmettoflynfish.blogspot.com/2019/07/another-float-tube-adventure.html?m=1
No.sink. sunglasses , I like that . I almost did some sunglasses on this video too but I was pressed for time . I'm an old geezer too lol . Well I'm 50 bur between TH-cam and working I feel really old done fattys lol . I appreciate the awesome comment Sir
DIY suggestion: I’m thinking about how to make a simple spider rig set up for small boat. 15/48 Grizzly Sportsman. Must be removable. Thinking 4 rods opposite troll motor. Thinking magnet on existing flat iron I’ve already mounted for my duck hunting light bar. Dunno if it will be string enough. I dunno. Ideas? Could get a store bought aluminum one for 150 but that’s no fun lol.
Lol nope that's no fun at all , I've never thought of using a magnet . Hmm not a bad idea . Maybe 3 of those 90lb magnets from harbor freight, it could work . If its removable I don't see why you couldn't use some 1" steel tube . The boat RodRack I made is holding up good . Its coated with bedliner spray , ppl always say ol you can't use steel but 98% of boat trailers are made out of steel and we dunk then in the water . Plus if its remove able it's not going to be left outside all the time . And steel is not much different than aluminum weight wise because it takes a thick piece of Aluminum to be as strong as a thin piece of steel
For rod holder extenders from the bank I use old broom handles cut to size and drill a hole deep down.. electric tape the tip so it doesn't crack and taper the bottom to a point.... good as gold...
As a fisherman that was very helpful! As a person that admires comedy that was excellent. "I Just made a cork out of a cork. You know what I am talking about."

Yeah...that's a good one.

@@FishinNStuff I did not, mostly for crappie fishing but I have hooked catfish as big as 10 lbs and they held strong.

ABSOLUTELY GREAT.!!!!!!!! Smart thinking. I especially like removing spool to fix forgetting about bail. Great adaboy

Great video buddy. I’m going to Lowe’s tomorrow to get the stuff to make the rod holder extensions. Thanks
That's awesome , I was told they worked great and figured I would share it

Threaded rod maybe a little lite for extensions for bigger fish or if real long. I made my on trolling rack with 3/8 rod but I have piece of 3/4 ENT sandwiched between base and t-bar. It’s as sturdy as the what bass is mounted to.
1/2" threaded rod is plenty strong enough , I wouldn't go over 12" but for that application there's no way 20lb can bent it , which nor many reels even have 20lbs of drag . I think my ProRockets only have 18lbs of drag but most ppl only run 5lbs while fishing . I really don't see em not being strong enough
Another great video and will be looking forward to more DIY’s and Hacks for 2020. Happy New Year 🎊

You can also wrap the magnets with felt bring the felt back over the magnet with a eyebolt and washers on both side(to help hold the felt . This way if your into magnet fishing where there's alot of iron or when it builds up you can unbolt and wash out all the trash off your magnet.
The rainX hack will be very useful! Thank you buddy!

Good deal as always some I new some I'm glad to no. So again thank you. I like the rod ex. That I'll deff remember. The corks if I ever get that away I want to get some. I have some jugs for fishing well there the budwizer bottle the aluminum bottle take off the call add a cork and eye screw and line weight and bait on a hook I seen some. I thought damn trash in the water and all beer bottles got close to one it was fish on it. So cool yea and diffent I like diffent. But need to fill good and take my boat out to try. But I got some bottles need to cork them. But hey great video sir. God bless

My favorite was definitely the camera mount. I may even use it!👍💯
I think it would work great on that new boat, you can never have enough camera mounts lol
@@FishinNStuff I have extra holes in those rails all over the place!😁
😜
Just one thing to add on the clamp/limb hack. Run the cord through in a way that when river fishing, when you clamp to a limb then the more the current pulls, the tighter the clamp grabs.
That's an awesome idea man I wish I'd thought of that , sounds like you've used one of those before , I didn't think of it because we mostly have reservoirs
I’ve had a float tied to the back of my hat as long as I can remember.
I recently DIY’d one to my sunglasses, too.
I was writing about cheap sunglasses, and it dawned on me that people are always losing the things.... and I had a solution.
The same one you offer, here.
Now I’m an old geezer, and have done this, well, for a while.
It’s good to see another guy doing it.
Thanks and keep hackin’!
PS here’s a link to the sunglasses solution, found near the end of the post...

No.sink. sunglasses , I like that . I almost did some sunglasses on this video too but I was pressed for time . I'm an old geezer too lol . Well I'm 50 bur between TH-cam and working I feel really old done fattys lol . I appreciate the awesome comment Sir
Fishin N Stuff no problemo
DIY suggestion: I’m thinking about how to make a simple spider rig set up for small boat. 15/48 Grizzly Sportsman. Must be removable. Thinking 4 rods opposite troll motor. Thinking magnet on existing flat iron I’ve already mounted for my duck hunting light bar. Dunno if it will be string enough. I dunno. Ideas? Could get a store bought aluminum one for 150 but that’s no fun lol.
Lol nope that's no fun at all , I've never thought of using a magnet . Hmm not a bad idea . Maybe 3 of those 90lb magnets from harbor freight, it could work . If its removable I don't see why you couldn't use some 1" steel tube . The boat RodRack I made is holding up good . Its coated with bedliner spray , ppl always say ol you can't use steel but 98% of boat trailers are made out of steel and we dunk then in the water . Plus if its remove able it's not going to be left outside all the time . And steel is not much different than aluminum weight wise because it takes a thick piece of Aluminum to be as strong as a thin piece of steel
Enjoy your stuff
Thank you buddy I appreciate that
Awesome! Thanks!
Thank you Sir for watching
Another fantastic video nicely done my friend 👊
Thank you buddy .
For rod holder extenders from the bank I use old broom handles cut to size and drill a hole deep down.. electric tape the tip so it doesn't crack and taper the bottom to a point.... good as gold...
Thanks for the rain-x hack. I use silicon anti fog spray but it doesn't last very long.
Some great stuff! New sub from Tampa!
Thank you Tampa I appreciate that , thanks for watching my friend
