Corporals Corner thank you for the information. I will try this little trick when I go fishing tomorrow I will use some Paracord for my bait and see how that will work. great video as always I myself use a lot of the tips and tricks that you show on here on a day to day basis.
thank you CORPORAL Kelly another great video like allway's I injoyed it allway's like you'r simple strat forward appoach no big o shit nice to allway's a pleasure to watch 👍👍👍 C😎😎L
My comment "works great 5 x 5" only one not liked? What did I say wrong? Still like the video,want to try the nail knot handle when I make time........
I've been passing your lessons on to my 9 year old son and his cub scout pack. They really dig it. They're going to absolutely love this one. Please keep up the great work. You are reaching way more friends than you may realize and making a positive impact on the next generation.
I would like to see you paired up with the Primitive Technologies guy on an extended field exercise. Between his building skills and your survival skills, you'd probably have an entire city built in a week. You are extremely inspiring.
Yes. Answering that next set of questions: Ok, I feel comfortable saying I have air/water/food/shelter for three days ... *now what* ?!? Maybe AvE or Cody's Lab scavenging the heck out of things. How, exactly, to get car alternator to be minimal waterwheel. Or whatever.
I caught a 52 lb. salmon on a stick with paracord bait! (If you're going to tell a fishing story, you need to stretch it). Thanks for the tip. Great work as usual!
I was sitting on the bank of a small stream one day whittling on a stick and all of a sudden an 18 inch rainbow trout jumped out of the water and landed in my frying pan! LOL...
@@legman1947 I was sitting under an olive tree one day when a giant olive branch fell into the water and hit a fish. Several olives got crushed and formed a layer of oil on the surface of the water which caught fire. When the fire died down, there was a perfectly cooked tuna lying on a bed of roasted seaweed.
Excellent video Corporal. Simple and quick, yet effective. Great idea making a tip eye out of bank line. 8 or 10 of those sunfish = a pretty good meal. Thanks.
Cpl. Kelly, as is your custom, another superior presentation. Our primary emergency fishing here in the Philippines will be done on the ocean for species like the small skip-jack tuna. I always carry a kit for hand-line fishing when we put to sea, even a short day trip. No one would want to eat anything from the local (heavily contaminated) drainage ditches. There is a species that survives and thrives in those ditches, however, all but one Filipino tells me "we don't eat those." It is called a janitor fish and they look like an armoured-plated catfish. Further inland and up in the mountains I will carry a kit and enjoy what lives there for dinner.
Now that truly was OUTSTANDING! It goes to show that you don't need hundreds of dollars worth of fishing lures. That bright orange paracord with the white center cords frayed out, sure looks like an attention getter. Based on your success, it is an attention getter under the water.
Through the years I have built my own rods and made my own tackle. An improvised rod with paracord bait is so simplistic and truly outstanding! I enjoyed the video............
I saw that paracord lure tip some years ago on the channel of IntenseAngler and tried it: it worked and still works, especially (in my area) on perch. Great idea on the improvised reel! Thanks!
While my compact fish kit is a little more heavy. Use a stainless bento box (2 high) QuAlways has some good prices ... put in a flat fly fishing reel, or a yo-yo reel (only ~20 ft of line on these). Have your designated line length and line test on the reel. Include sma series of small fish (trout, panfish) fish pole eyes and eye tip ... or large eyes and tip (salmon, steelhead, bucket mouth bass ...). And velcro strips. Carve a handle slot for the fishing reel, and velcro strap on tight. Same for the pole eyes. Cut the pole tip into "#". Place eye tip on center toothpick, and velcro entire pole picks together, clamping eye tip to end. Run line through. Second bento box (with wire snap closures) put all the bait, lures, flashers, swivels, hooks, flies, line weights, and various spools of line for leaders. Make your designated fishing system. Catch some fish ! When done, disassemble back into bento boxes.
Outstanding bushcraft rod and reel; better video!!! I am in awe of your bushcraft skills!!! Please keep the videos coming!!! Chuck Knight from Buffalo, Texas. 🤠👍🐩
Those Lil' Perch are some G00D EAT'n🐠🐟🐡YUM-YUM❕ 0h, NICE Setup you made. I never gave it a thought bout make'n a REEL on a wood'n stick before. Thats cool.
Just made this fishing rod using a scout stave to demonstrate to my Boy Scout Troop. Was able to cast about 20/25ft using the improvised reel. Will work better with some whipping action from bamboo or the green sticks the Sean used here. We practiced the whippings to make the end loop for bamboo style fishing rods. Planning a backpack/fishing trip in the coming weeks, this skillset will be helpful!
That was excellent. I am going to try this for sure here in AZ. Those sunfish 5-10 of them ( depending your body ) you have an excellent meal. Thanks for the advice, especially finding something that makes you happy! Its not all about the $$$. Work all your life and then cant do anything later, do what you love or love what you do!
Hey Cpl. When you show a fish you caught, you really take your time. Any chance you could give the kind of fish it is and whether it’s good to eat. I’m a Newby at this and that would REALLY help. And I would like to see how you prepare frog legs? I’ll go check your list just in case you. Have done it already once. Thanks.
When I was growing up my brothers & I provided most of the fish my family ate during the spring, summer & fall using a 4inch branch fora pole - although we didn't have any high faluton handle. Back then we got line, 2 split shots, a hook and a cork (this was before plastic bobbers) all on an H shaped kit holder for a nickel. That, a couple of worms, crickets, grasshoppers, anything else we could find provided dinner for the family. We didn't know about paracord back then it was only used in the military back then.
Never have had much luck fishing, but seeing that orange 550 cord used makes me wonder if I might not give it another shot. Ever thought of using a pellet rifle on small game? That I can do; look at a Hatsan 95 in .22 as a basic entry point that will put game on the table. Still trying to play catch-up on all your outstanding content, the more I see, the more inspired I become.
Good stuff. The orange paracord looked like it worked well as bait. As part of a survival fishing kit. One could also add a couple of small lures, rubber worms. They weigh almost nothing. In addition a small roll of actual fishing line has numerous uses. Depending on your situation. Example a vehicle bug out kit you could add a couple of mini reels.
Outstanding fishing trip with the Corporal! Did I detect a little grin toward the end as you were catching fish? Everybody loves catching versus fishing! Great Video
Just wondering. Does it help you with TH-cam if we listen to the commercials? I'm thinking it might help you financially if I listen to the whole commercial. I've established 30 seconds as the longest time I'll "listen". If it doesn't help you either financially or "stability" with TH-cam, I'll probably just skip them.
Bill, I always watch the full commercial on channels that teach truly useful information. Our thought is that is the very least we can do to reciprocate and reward the vlogger for their efforts. Like you, I have a time limit but it gets longer as the length of the video extends. Max will be a two to three minute commercial for a long presentation that will be helpful.
Wow man you caught fish with an piece of orange para cord well thats definitely a new one for me outstanding man, here in Alberta it’s illegal to use barbed hooks we gotta pinch em flat with pliers. It’s supposed to give the fish a fighting chance yep you read that right, pretty silly I think, Peace from 🇨🇦
Another kind a fishing gear that you could make or use is a simple Cuban Yoyo. I think you'll find it interesting, corporal. Thanks for the great video
That orange paracord bait is a great idea...and in clear water you can see the fish take it...I used to tie a lot of flies, and found for panfish, I could not beat a black fuzzy bait, so for those fish, I bet a fuzzed out bit of black paracord would work just as well!
bigger the bait bigger the fish....i saw a guy in the woods using a mouse...lol and this giant large mouth came up like a swamp monster and took the mouse...that fish knew where his hook was and tossed his empty hook back to him....it was one in a million to see this grand daddy fish in action. and the pond was so still no bubbles no nothing . out came swamp grand daddy....im going him this year...yup
Great demonstration. Fishing is a great way to get food. Using the loop of a safety pin at the end of the rod is helpful, but I do appreciate you making it work with just bank line.
The Corporal should take poor old Les Stroud out and teach him how to catch fish. How many times did Les come up empty on his show. He sure tried though...
great vid corp friend english friend , try brass wire as eye and ya hobo reel attached to ya pole makes great fishing rod , also use a short peice of twine whip in any whipping and you have no need for knots . always enjoy your videos big thumbs up from uk
...great fishing. I really like the fishing rod - especially the line loop at the tip. I have a few tricks that I will have to share on making a paracord lure...
I carry some small i-screws to make fishing eyes with, even in my small altoid tin kits since thet take up like no room . Ofcourse they could be used for other things
I have made a similar type of pole for poke poling on the rocky coast here in California. Drop a piece of bait in front of a fish hiding under the rocks, and dinner is served. Great vid as always.
Why waste cordage on the handle ? I grew up using the bamboo cane poles for panfish and occasional bass , for the part they had no handle and lasted for many seasons.
Another thing you can do is fix the line near the handle but have it freely running through a loop at the top. It can then be pulled in with one hand and cast out by letting go. Allowing for a longer line to be used and retracted. Not dissimilar to the way a fly line is cast just without the reel being there.
I love to fish now i have a game plan to do this good video love the catch and release we all need to practice that so there is fish to catch for our future generations

You guys are a$$hats - you know that, don't you?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Fly fishing with paracord. Gunny would have loved it.

Don't sweep the audience with your fishing pole Corporal, come on.

how could you get a thumbs down on that. I don't know, but good job sir. that is a lot of fun. GOD bless us all.
Jealous no talent desert trolls. Thanks for watching
My dad made me one a bit shorter. Out fished most of the adults. Then, when I got a store bought, I was just as bad as everyone else.
Great tutorial. Thanks corporal!
This place is incredible! Congratulations, *beautiful* Video. Hugs and good fishing!👍🎣🐠🐟
Thank you and thanks for watching
Luckily the pond was full of the rare Bushcraft Bass. They go crazy for paracord lures. :)
So pleased I have notification bell turned on!
Through the years I have built my own rods and made my own tackle. An improvised rod with paracord bait is so simplistic and truly outstanding! I enjoyed the video............
Love the idea of putting the improvised reel on there. Will keep that in my bag of tricks. Thanks again db
Would not have imagined Paracord as improvised bait. I want to try this locally with my "regular" rod to see what results I will get.
Post the results ...
I guess that's a fish
Thank you for your simple survival skills
Sure did enjoy this video. Educational, proven with the catch'in and very useful! Thanks
I've made improvised fishing poles (think cane poles), but never thought to implement a 'reel'. Good job!
I saw that paracord lure tip some years ago on the channel of IntenseAngler and tried it: it worked and still works, especially (in my area) on perch. Great idea on the improvised reel! Thanks!

I'm glad you said that about the handle, because I'm sitting here going if I was hungry I never would of made it! Nice vids thumbs up👍🏽

For improvised bait, a snippet of bankline would like a black fly.
Another kind a fishing gear that you could make or use is a simple Cuban Yoyo. I think you'll find it interesting, corporal. Thanks for the great video
Awesome video Corporal! Always good to see the versatility of cordage in your survival kit. You don't even need a fishing kit.
Very cool pole setup. Ive caught a few on paracord.. another thing you could do as well is find feathers for lures
put a alimun foil tail just ahead of the treble. wow i can believe your catching fish like that with paracord. im impressed...hmm.
That orange paracord bait is a great idea...and in clear water you can see the fish take it...I used to tie a lot of flies, and found for panfish, I could not beat a black fuzzy bait, so for those fish, I bet a fuzzed out bit of black paracord would work just as well!
Perfect timing. We moved to the country and my daughters want to try fishing. Thanks.
Man I wonder if you could catch a fish in that para-cord lure, chop him up, and catch a bigger one, and so on.
to quote you sir...Outstanding! Excellent tutorial, thank you
bigger the bait bigger the fish....i saw a guy in the woods using a mouse...lol and this giant large mouth came up like a swamp monster and took the mouse...that fish knew where his hook was and tossed his empty hook back to him....it was one in a million to see this grand daddy fish in action. and the pond was so still no bubbles no nothing . out came swamp grand daddy....im going him this year...yup
Never To Old To Learn Something,Tn,OOHRAH!!
It appears you brought your own monofilament fishing line, yes? Or, did you use a strand from paracord?
Great demonstration. Fishing is a great way to get food. Using the loop of a safety pin at the end of the rod is helpful, but I do appreciate you making it work with just bank line.
I love the videos thanks for sharing. I bought a Milwaukee folding saw that accepts any sawzall blade and wanted to hear your thoughts on it.
Would have never thought to use paracord as bait. Thanks Corporal can't wait to try this here in Michigan.
Simple and Effective. Excellent. 👍👍😎🇺🇸
Thank you, wo rks very nice you're setup. Thanks for helping me to survive in all you do. 👍
The Corporal should take poor old Les Stroud out and teach him how to catch fish. How many times did Les come up empty on his show. He sure tried though...
Liked before watched, that's what you do because the content is ALWAYS good
So good I had to watch twice lol.
If you reeled it onto a bigger circle facing sideways to the loop you would be able to cast normally? I think. just thumb the line till you release.
great vid corp friend english friend , try brass wire as eye and ya hobo reel attached to ya pole makes great fishing rod , also use a short peice of twine whip in any whipping and you have no need for knots . always enjoy your videos big thumbs up from uk

By all means don't forget the treble hook for little bluegill ? I guess the should not swallow the hook.
What ever works for you.
I have made a similar type of pole for poke poling on the rocky coast here in California. Drop a piece of bait in front of a fish hiding under the rocks, and dinner is served. Great vid as always.
You have lots of grand ideas, lf the world crumbles l hope l can remember even some of these. Thank you so much for sharing.
Why waste cordage on the handle ? I grew up using the bamboo cane poles for panfish and occasional bass , for the part they had no handle and lasted for many seasons.
It's called a 'Ned Kelly' rig here in Oz (somehow fitting).
Awesome video. Great work Shawn.
An easy way to keep fed! Thanks for sharing.
Another great use of paracord and bank line. I never thought you could use paracord as a lure, thanks.

Allowing for a longer line to be used and retracted. Not dissimilar to the way a fly line is cast just without the reel being there.
That was a beautiful little bluegill you caught. I lived in Missouri for years and caught a lot of perch. The larger fish make some very fine eating.
I like bluegill as well, my Grandma would cook the Bluegill and occasional bass I'd catch (using a handline) as long as I did the cleaning. Fair deal.
And your fishing traps work ekseland and it's great for fishing at the river
Wouldn't a longer pole and a thinner tip help you cast farther and add more flex when you set the hook?
Cool vid CC! Gonna definitely try this next time fishing, thanks for the great idea.
Would be a good project to involve kids 🙂 👍 nice one buddy 👍
Great video, sir! Liked the lashing for the handle, tip and reel.
Excellent friend l know how to make a fishing rod etc
Very Nice Corporal. Great fishing
grew up in Creek doing this all day long for several years
how funny, I just got that shirt in the mail yesterday
i used to make customs rods and do repairs and fancy designs....i miss making rods.
Is that what is called a bluegill? It seems to me that every hobo reel fisherman catches them and I believe they are invasive.
What model SAK is that?
Victornox one handed Trekker
Well, I know what I am doing on my next camping trip.
I love to fish now i have a game plan to do this good video love the catch and release we all need to practice that so there is fish to catch for our future generations
Great ideas!!!
I’ll try it, Sir!
Yarn is commonly used in Alaska as bait. It does seem to work well.
Do you think it's less likely to get a ticket when trying this without a fishing license?
No way! wow! Awesome! What kind of hook was that? What size hook?
Semper Fi brother...great video
try using crack as bait. it worked on king of the hill. hilarious episode.
So what is the difference between bank line and paracord
hell yeah i made something similar this year when camping.
You keep showing up in my feed just saying
I what is the europian name för spankline i want to buy that line
