I got a simple hack for ya, specifically for ammo boxes, the cheap plastic ammo boxes make great storage boxes for packs of soft baits, this is especially handy so u dont have to be mixing plastics together that might react with eachother, and THAT is AWESOME!
Dayum good hacks! Everytime my wife walks by when your videos are playing, she says, "Well I guess you're going to HF/HD tomorrow..." And she's usually right! Keep'um coming buddy!
You could use the discarded foam sealant “balls” as catfishing floats (j/k). I installed the HF magnet bars in the VersaTrac grooves on the front and rear decks to hold hooks and baits when I change baits.
@@rcajun8902 Unfortunately, my boat is 30 miles away at my son’s home. Had I seen this response earlier I could have taken a pic as he and I were bass fishing this afternoon. To install, I used 1/4”x 1” carriage bolts (2 per magnetic bar) and nuts (SS preferred). I also put small sections of heat shrink over each end of the bar and made holes thru it for the bolts. This was to protect the boat finish where the magnetic bars would touch (you could just wrap the ends with electrical tape). The magnetic bar is U-shaped with the magnet inside it. The open side (the bare magnet side) should face away from the VersaTrac and toward the inside of the boat. The magnetism on the smooth side of the bar is too weak to be of any use. I hope this helps.
I buy most of my beads and a lot of my fly tying yarns and feathers at craft stores! I can buy a whole skein of yarn at the craft store for less than I would pay for a 3 or 4 yard length of yard on a card.
I've got 1 for you... Armor all have a UV blocker in it to protect vinyl and plastic. Hit your tackle boxes with a little armor all. Hit your cooler with a little armor all. Keeps the sun from breaking them down.
I close the handle end of the trolling motor lift lanyard into the closest locker to hold the shaft down so it doesn't bounce around whilst road travelling.
I think you should start a segment called “Will it Flex Seal?” Haha. Rubber coating all sorts of stuff is helpful, including your canon ball sinkers and fishing rod butt for grip
I LOVE ME SOME FLEX SEAL. AUWESOME video Keith. Think Mr. Blade bait needs to be thrown in the drink, so he learns a lesson. That magnet back would be good for when you're moving spots, can clip the hook to it.
That bead trick can be used for all sorts of things. Companies love taking a relatively common item, slap a label on it for a specific use, and then double or triple (or more!) the price. Look up spray glasses cleaner, and then look up spray monitor cleaner. Same thing, but one costs way more.
My Good Sir , Loved the video ! Now you got my attention when you got to the net !!! I have a fairly large net and I really don’t have the money for one of them high dollar ones, but wished I did. I am gonna ge a can of that flex seal and do mine! One thing , do you know if that stuff runs ? Well I will do a couple of light coats and see how it does ! Thank you a big bunch for that info ! Take Care and Be Safe
Ahhh man you are good. I've had an old decoy bag that I've wanted to use for a net. I have some, had some exotic wood for the handle (I'll have to get some more). Because I didn't want the fish to get hurt in the fabric, now they won't once I coat it with flex seal. 👍GOOD ONE!!!
I started using the heat shrink on my hooks before I ever knew about the nocturnal guys… it’s awesome at first I was using electrical tape but I didn’t like it. Also been buying most my beads at hobby stores cuz well why not
Thanks for the great Hacks! I did the same thing with expanding foam and my cooler lids a while back, works good! I’ll be using all these hacks except the troll motor support, because I remove mine from my small boat when transporting. Really appreciate you helping save loads of money, so I can get more Fishin Stuff..Thank you Keith! 👍👌✌️🎣
I got some of those harbor freight ties and they work great, but after a while the wires poke through the silicone. What I did is take the wire out and use paracord and removed the inner lines and used the sleeve sealed both ends with the wire inside they work awesome. Same idea like your slinky weights you did in one of your hack videos.
You have great videos. They crack me up and make my day. I need a DIY to mount a fish finder to my pontoon boat with out drilling any holes in it. I have the transducer figured out, I just need need a idea for the finder. There’s a cup holder close and I thought about using pcb to make a mount. Thanks, Craig
Pvc would probably work great in a cup holder . I've got videos about heating the pvc and forcing it into it so it would be tight . Hey I appreciate you watching . Thank you very much
Those gear ties are awesome things!!! I use them for tons of stuff with the boat or fishing. Especially to keep all my rods together when I'm bank fishing or traveling. Those magnets work great on fishing carts or a boat for your tools too, and I've used glow in the dark paint alone with the clear flex seal on some of my fishing bags to kinda waterproof them and make them slightly easier to see when you're out fishing in the dark. I think that you should do a video on your version of a diy/cheaper fishing cart.
Keith I found a hack at dollar tree I now use tooth brush covers to put on my hooked to keep from ending up with a big tangle after the drive home. On the subject of Flex Seal I had several tiny leaks in my flat bottom so I used flex seal to paint it white looks like a newer boat and is dry as a bone after fishing all day. Keep up the great work thanks again
alla these hacks were awesome!! i gotta admit i thought that cover on them hook shafts was just heat shrink and figured i'd end up doin some myself, i thought about that aggressive offset tweak but haven't ever done it, and now i cannot WAIT to go rubberize me a net!! awesome!
It would be cool too see you make a fishing cart out of metal or pvc would love too see what you can come up with if u could make it a budget project. Thx for all the great vids
I did a ice chest that way , it tripled the time it would keep ice , so you can take a cheaper ice chest and make it Purty Dang Awesome, I used some Gorilla Glue On the spots I drilled to seal it , a good Marine Silicone would work too ,,, Flex seal has a million uses , good one ya did with the Net ,, those 3)4 PVC Pipe things are about the same size as alotta dip net handles , Paddles etc , you can clip those things out of the way or they don't fly out during ya way to the lake , What can ya say except It's all Purty Dang Awesome Right There Y'all lol 😁,, Keep It Reelin Brother 🦈🎣👀 ,
Instead of heat shrink tubing consider using plasti-dip to cover shank of hook? You'll need can of plasti-dip(your choice on color) magnet strips to hang hooks while drying toothpicks or BBQ skews(depends on size of hook eye) to pierce eye of hook and maintain while drying and side cutters to trim toothpicks knife to sharpen point of toothpick.
Love your "hackery" ... on your catfish hook bend, I found out the hard way, that grabbing your hooks when you pull them out of a fishes mouth, Can scratch the hook, equally when you bend them out you can scratch the tempered metal as well. And as you know that is catastrophic (see what I did there. Catfish/Catastrophic)... Doesn't matter what size hook or Guage metal the hook is. When it is scratched it will explode under stress. So, 2 things I've done... #1 - I STOPPED scratching hooks. #2 - I dipped the needle nose pliers I pull hooks out with, in the liquid rubber from..... YUP, Harbor Freight. Just thought you should know... "You know what I'm say'n!" Keep up the good work. Preciate cha! Nick DeLuca in Redfield Arkansas.
You mentioned the brand of net you use and looked it up and saw the neat lift handle on it. Many of your hacks I know, are designed to save us money. I got the idea of putting weed whacker on my net to aide in lifting up a big catfish. Works quite well and you can get one on ebay for @ 10-20 bucks. Enjoy your videos!
kinda wished I seent this before I bought my fishing net for the boat. That flex seal "flex" was too damned cool not to use. Now I want to get another net just to do the hack!🤣
On your trolling motor hack, I was thinking that if you took the bottom piece and used an end cap with a hole drilled in it and a toilet bolt mounted sticking out, you could then use the black rubber boot to screw up or down to create more pressure so the likelihood of it popping off the trolling motor would be non-existent
Heat shrink works good for trailer hooks for buzz and spinnerbaits💪🇺🇸 thanks for the awesomeness 👊
The flex seal on the net was genius!!!
No, the magnet strips were genius!
I put flex seal on my anchors works great keeps them from rusting and staining the boat carpet🐟
Dennis, Great idea! 👍

Lmbo . Tell your wife I'm sorry lol
Ooooo I'm digging the flex seal/net hack!
You're a frigging genius...
You could use the discarded foam sealant “balls” as catfishing floats (j/k).
I installed the HF magnet bars in the VersaTrac grooves on the front and rear decks to hold hooks and baits when I change baits.

you have pics?

How 🤔
Love all your hacks, but that rubberized net....
"IS PRETTY DANG KOOOOL"!
I buy most of my beads and a lot of my fly tying yarns and feathers at craft stores! I can buy a whole skein of yarn at the craft store for less than I would pay for a 3 or 4 yard length of yard on a card.
I watch every video you put out. !!!! Thank you Jim Fisher.
Great ideas! I love the magnetic strips and the net. Thank you for explaining the beads. I hadn’t been using them freshwater. I will begin doing that.
so far I have taken at least 1 hack per video and if I need a solution to a fishing problem your videos pop up I LOVE IT
Low expanding foam insulation for door and window installations will provide the ice chest insulation without the excess waste.
Definitely going to be using alot of these hacks. Thank ya neighbor.
The Net with the flex seal won me! I’m off to get sum rite now. Thank you Fishin N Stuff.
Thank you
Loving those awesome hacks! The rubberized net is genius!
I love the flex seal spray on the net.
Cool hacks!!! Absolutely love the lure with the attitude! 🤣
The rubberized net looks “really awesome”! Gonna have to give that one a try.
Absolutely awesome!
Flex sealing the net is pretty awesome!!
I chuckle the same time you did when you did number 7 😄
I've got 1 for you... Armor all have a UV blocker in it to protect vinyl and plastic. Hit your tackle boxes with a little armor all. Hit your cooler with a little armor all. Keeps the sun from breaking them down.
That's a good idea
Whole bunch of great stuff the net was awesome I'll be doing that one for sure
The lure talking is super funny
Flex seal. Next purchase
I close the handle end of the trolling motor lift lanyard into the closest locker to hold the shaft down so it doesn't bounce around whilst road travelling.

Fixed a agrivating leak on boat with flex seal 2 years ago that still works!
@@charlesdotson9957 Awesome
FishNStuff I really liked all of those awesome hacks!
But those little silicone ties were more than AWESOME 👍 THANKS 👍
I love the idea of the flex seal for the net. finally somthing that shit is actually good for. Thanks for the Hack.
Have a blessed day. Thank you. Absolutely awesome,
A DIY rubberized net, only on the Fishin N Stuff channel do you get awesome hacks like that one. Thanks!
Great idea on the trolling motor brace. I got to get to work on that. I look forward to every video and always get a good idea from it. Thanks man!

Hack number 22. Use a piece of pvc and use it for a mount for ur net to keep it outta the way. Mines on my steering column

Great tips, again brother. Keep up the great work and we really appreciate all your work and great tips.
Tight lines and screaming reels.
Great Awesome fishing hacks and love the lures lol
Thank you
I like the bad-attitude lipless crank bait the best now, use to be the talking spinner bait.
Genius as always. I appreciate all the hacks and info of your content and put plenty of them to use. Thanks again and keep em coming.

This is the best hack video I have seen. I can use all of your ideas. Thanks much. 9:12 pm
Great idea on the shrink tupe to hold the snell knot..
I started using the heat shrink on my hooks before I ever knew about the nocturnal guys… it’s awesome at first I was using electrical tape but I didn’t like it.
Also been buying most my beads at hobby stores cuz well why not
The little LUER Dude is cool. I VOTE WE NAME HIM, STICKY,,,, GREAT VIDEOS, LOVE THE CHANNEL

Now that Spray Rubber thats some stuff !
Great ideas. Need to make the trolling motor support for mine😁
The trolling motor hack is zackly what I needed ! Thx !
YOU THE MAN!!!
Saving the best for last. I would have never thought about using flex seal on a net to rubberize it.
I swear, anything I make from a pool noodle or a section of PVC, even stuff you haven't shown, is 100% inspired by you!
Thank you , I appreciate you watching. I really do

Loved all the hacked but, I have one of them cheep nets I’m going to try the flex seal on. Great video Keith.
You can also get a water bottle and freeze it to put in your live well to keep the water cooler through out the hot summer day
I just found your channel a few weeks ago. My wife and I really enjoy the information and it’s fun to watch.Keep up the good work.

It would be cool too see you make a fishing cart out of metal or pvc would love too see what you can come up with if u could make it a budget project. Thx for all the great vids
I’m using the brush on Flex Seal for keel protection on the kayaks.
Did it work good
@@FishinNStuff so far, so good. I applied it fairly heavy and let it cure for a couple days.
I did a ice chest that way , it tripled the time it would keep ice , so you can take a cheaper ice chest and make it Purty Dang Awesome, I used some Gorilla Glue On the spots I drilled to seal it , a good Marine Silicone would work too ,,, Flex seal has a million uses , good one ya did with the Net ,, those 3)4 PVC Pipe things are about the same size as alotta dip net handles , Paddles etc , you can clip those things out of the way or they don't fly out during ya way to the lake , What can ya say except It's all Purty Dang Awesome Right There Y'all lol 😁,, Keep It Reelin Brother 🦈🎣👀 ,
I got an 💡 flex seal the the shaft and eyelet on the hook !
That's not a bad idea at all
Excellent ideas

I will 100% be doing the flex seal net. Thanks man!
The foam you pulled off your ice chest might make a pretty good float for fishing.
I thread my hooks on safety pins 🧷 to keep them organized
Dayummmm , I'll be getting me some Flex Seal tomorrow !!! That idea was ummm AWESOMER than AWESOME !!!!! ;/ lol
Mylar bubble wrap. I put over the top to reflect the heat.
Thanks! I'm going to use two of these hacks for my fishing stuff!
