I really enjoy listening to a fellow SOUTHERNER, with that country draw like me .
Using stones for sinkers might be a good idea when you got those finicky fish that won't bite when anything somewhat unnatural is around.
Your right . More natural presentation
I have using rock sinker for years. No drilling just use SS wire and wrap the rock. Then use crazy glue and baking soda. They will hold up great… no more lead in the sea.
Hey have you ever done any fiberglass boat repair? There is a lot of info and “how to lay up” but not a lot of buying guides.
Very little fiberglass . I was shopping for it to a while back for a video idea but never bought any
I watch a lot of different fishing and diy channels on RUclips but yours is the only 1 I ever give a thumbs up to. Not only do I like your content but it works. Love your channel.
That means alot , I really do appreciate you
Try the rocks again but use a hammer drill. Concrete typically has rocks in it and a masonry bit always works but only with a hammer drill.
I used straws to make slip pencil floats for trout. Use hot glue or silicone to seal top, glue a small egg weight and barrel swivel in bottom. Casts real far, very visible, won't spook fish, and super sensitive to light bites. Caught 22" trout with one this past week drifting in current down a ledge.
when making your attachment loops for sinkers, lures, etc... put an allen wrench in a vice put the wire around it and insert the two cut ends of the wire into your drill and you'll get perfect loops and help prevent getting any barrel swivels caught in the twists. Love the videos!!!
Thank you . I'll try it that way . I really appreciate
I've been making slinky weights with paracord and buckshot for many years to fish for salmon and steelhead.
I have a bunch of rebar I'm going to use, thanks for making this video hack.......#...?
Use the slinky weight latex tubing to hold a bolt or finishing nail. I have never got heat shrink tubing to work. But it my be the cheap HF tubing I have.
Best channel on youtube!!! Love the rebar sinker idea! I'll be making some tomorrow haha!!!!!
Hey its cheap lol thank you Sir
Hey you ever try a hole in a little rock and a piece of surgical tubing? When hung up the tubing stretches and gets skinner, an the rock pops off
You got some good ideas Brother. I really do appreciate these videos in the time and effort you put into them. It helps us fisherman on a budget make some really quality fishing gear and pole holders. 🤜🌟🤛
🐠🐟🐋🦀🦞🦐🐙🦀
Thank you Sir I appreciate you taking your time to watch em
The rebar works well for trotlines. I use size 14 rebar. Sometimes you can get it for scrap price if you're not picky about the length.
all this is AWESOME!....thanks for the video...but i'll be buying weights locally lol. keep it up!
Me too . Some guys like making everything . Everyone is different . For what I do my preference is to buy or pour mine
I cast cannonball weights, 1-2-3-4 ounce sizes. But fishin in the Colorado River recently, I was wantin for some no-roll weights. I found I can pound a 4 ounce cannonball flat and get a nice no roll 4 ounce about the size of a silver dollar. I used my double jack sledge hammer and a piece of steel plate as my anvil. So there you have it, sinker hack #14.
I had that planned for my next hack video lol . It's a great idea
Cool stuff! Try your rock in a bucket of water using a diamond burr, just don't use a pointy burr.
That makes more sense lol
Great hack there going to have to try !! Tried to find aluminum for the rod holder but no luck here !!
I looked up “Awesome” on the Internet and the first thing that popped up was your RUclips channel 👍🏻
Lol Swweet lol
Awesome fishing weight hacks 👍🎣. The best is using river stones, as look natural to the surroundings. Some fish like carp & catfish, can pick up the electro magnetic field. That steel & lead weights give off.
If ya going to a garage to look for spark plugs ya might as well ask if they got any old clip on wheel weights.
That's right
Another awesome video, brother. U got some great hacks. Keep em coming. 👍👍
what about using sand? wouldn't it be heavier if you wet it too?
That puddy you can use on lewers and make them dive deeper or give them better action iv ben doing it for years u can also add it to ur line for a sinker I keep a tube of it in all my tackle boxes
That's a great idea
Love those ideas. Gonna make it alot cheaper for sure.
Lots of great ideas! After fooling around with drilling holes in rocks, or trying to, I just epoxied the wire loop to the rock. It’s a lot simpler, and you get the same end result.
Thanks for the fun video
David
I should have done that too lol . Or got a diamond bit . But you don't know till you try . Maybe it'll save someone else so time lol
@@FishinNStuff you’re a good dude
I really appreciate that buddy . You seem like a great guy as well
Hi, Your buddy from England here. If you know a tame Sparky (electrician) the wire from steel armour cable is soft and easy to work with. Wrap it to your stones and use hot melt glue. Saves all that drilling!
Sticking brad nails or finishing nails into a swim worm works well too
I keep my weights homemade and cheap almost free, I take any old rock assorted sizes flat works better for Rivers cuz it does not roll, Take 6 or 8 lb test line make a slipknot choke it up on the Rock and put a blob of five minute JB Weld then put a loop in it and there's your weight no expensive swivel a snap swivel is placed on your main line so you can add or subtract weight...
I’ve been thinking about those cement weights they use to hold down party balloons.
I was thinking of putting a dollop of cement on a square of plastic wrap and one of your wire loops in the wet cement and twist it up and wait for it to dry. Then I might plastic dip it or epoxy it.
Do you mind doing the hard work experimenting for me?lol
I will if I can figure out which video to put it on lol
New to your channel..love your videos..so many great ideas 👍👍
Thank you I appreciate that
If u want your bait to skip along the bottom, throw on a bobber at appropriate depth setting then 6 in. Up from the hook make a "shirt button" pattern with three or more split shot. Save you some snags especially if ur river fishing. Keep those tips up fellas and ladies! See u out there!
Freakin Awesome! Really Enjoying your style of videos😊👍👍
Thank you
Sinker hack # 🖐 six 😂 😂 😂
Always a quality video! ha ha...I don't know about these hacks though, seems like you were a little desperate for ideas on this one. Nuts and bolts, spark plugs... what?
No there's a large number of people that use alot of this stuff . Me personally I like making my own sinkers . But I do PVC projects to but I can also weld so lol . I don't make videos for me I make em too help other people really . And I like trying everything
Good stuff as always bud!!!
Keith, your videos are…..”Awesome”. And your Awesome. Dallas aka Polebender on RUclips uses rocks for weights because of loosing so many in the water she fishes.
That's cool
The slinky weight is paracord and buck shot. We call the roll of solid core or hollow core pencil weight. We use them for drift fishing salmon and steelhead. Love your videos keep it up
Thank you for clearing that up . Catfishermen call em drift weights , dragging weights , slinky weights , all kinda stuff lol . I appreciate you brother
You can get a slinky weight kit to build your slinky weight it comes with a funnel and ram rod to load your shot easier. It makes it a lot faster
@@elkhunter6746 the funnel would be cool . I use a bamboo skewer as a ram rod and it did pretty good
I found it on amazon but there's only one in stock it's from rainbow fishing tackle. They sell them at all the stores around here. Get a look at it and you should be able to make something similar that will work fine
Sorry the brand is riversnake slinky maker
Surprised tire balancing weights weren't mentioned....can get them for free from some tire shops
"Rock" solid idea lol
I've Used Spark Plugs For 40 Years lol ,,Nuts Bolts , Railroad Spikes , Bulldozer Pins and Bearings , Old Pistons outta Blown up engines , lol ,, Car Rims For Trotline End Weights , You name it I've Sunk A Bait With It lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤷🏻♂️ Now That's Just Purty Dang Awesome Right There Y'all 🐟🎣🤠😁 Keep It Reelin Brother
I would recommend old pallet wood nails for the weights you made with BBS or you can just use the nail on its own, tie to the top of the nail for dropshoting or use it as a neko rig weight
Love your how to videos. Can't wait to try some of them myself 😊
I'm sure someone else has most likely already said this, but... use a hammer drill with those bits. There's no need to buy the expensive "Tile Bits". (concrete is full of rocks... think about it) Even completely worn-out concrete bits continue to drill because of the hammer action.
This was like 15 ways to make the most expensive, and time consuming ways, to make fishing weights. Just get some lead and a mold.
Hey, a good video idea, might be how to make lead molds, for weights and lead head hooks! BUT it looks like you already did!.... 😁
Awesome , Awesome hacks. I made the pyramids and im gonna make the shrink tube drag sinkers! Keep it up buddy!
Awesome video Keith. I liked those rebar weights I can't believe you didn't weigh that thing. Thanks for all the ideas and Thanks for taking the time to post these videos. Can't wait for the next one
I made sinkers with 7 to 8 of 1/8" bolt and i weld and fill up with welding all the way to the top and it was super heavy and it works super. Still thanks for the tips.
Thank you for the tip buddy
I really like the stones. Economically and environmentally the stones rocks. May god forbid it, but if the lines should break, the stones ends back home where they comes from. It's awesome.
I agree
i cast my own Cannon ball weights 1/2oz to 10oz . im going make some drag weights next
I don't know how they do it in the States, but here in Europe, they use lead flashing where the roof meets the masonry, and also around window frames.
I love that stuff, for dyi sinkers. You can even wrap it around the shank of a hook for dyi weighted worm hooks, so you can make them whatever weight you want.
It's getting rare, these days, but sometimes when they take down an old building, you might be able to get your hands old lead drain pipe. Awesome for ring sinkers or flat sinkers, or to melt down for sinkers or ammo casting. There's a lot of weight in that stuff. Inch n a half diameter weighs about 3-4 pounds a foot, iirc.
A lot of the lead I buy for scrap is from old roofs too . I never get lucky enough to find it for free lol
Leave some wire length on the rock sinker wires to fold back and jam in the hole. Gives the epoxy even more to grab onto.
I believe I've seen "cigarette #1 before 😂. I believe it would work well for trout fishing in clear water. I haven't tried it yet though.
Ta-day I learned a bit.... Use sand or pebbles in the tubing idea, even tiny ball bearings , when at the dollar store go to arts and crafts area for the rocks that go in your aquarium. I like the glow in the dark plastic style because in slower water they work great for cats and walleyes, plus they are easier to drill into ,plus they bounce along covering more water.,....washers have always worked as a sinker for me ever since I was a kid.,. Slinky rigs are the right way to say it, here in Canada we slinky rig and paracord with tiny ball bearings. Orange is my favorite.....
Good ideas 💡
Awsome as always
See you on next one
👍👍👍😜🏴🦕🦄😁🤞✌
Hey brother, don’t you run a Suzuki? I have a brand new Suzuki shirt if you want it, yes a freebie, let me know where to send it.
Me and my buddies used to use railroad spikes as kids because we wished along a train track which is pretty common along a river lol
Your DYI’s are freaking awesome!
Thank you
Im all for making your own weights... but if you are why not make it out of natural material so it isnt poluting the river as bad if/ when it comes off the line.
I love using suspended bobber rigs with heavy weights, or a drop shot with a half ounce weight tied to a double surgeon.
Great ideas 💡. I particularly like the reo bar sinkers and the river rock sinkers. I just think the ocean 🌊 has enough plastic in it for the time being. The fish 🐟 also have enough lead in them too.
Calm down all you haters… I am just an old dog trying new tricks… trying to teach my son.
Pretty cool 😎;! I being a Ironworker like the rebar one. In fact I made a lot of them one time. I cut up a bunch of # 6 es, 7,and 8 that’s the size of the rebar . About any where from six- nine “ long at a 45 degree angle on each end. Then I drilled a hole 🕳 at each end then I put key ring’s on , they looked like diamond sinker jigs ! Panted them up different colors
And they actually work, I take them deep 🌊 sea fishing 🎣 put a big ole treble hook on there and catch a big ol lingcod !
Those sound like they look good . I love quality work . But I understand sometimes it's not important at the Sametime
you could get spark plug from workshop or car servicing center though
but spark plug are not too great on fast current fishing
And the thoughts go to the Egyptian art of making the pyramids. Just saying b
Awesome! Good to see you back more often Keith!
I'm trying to stay consistent lol . Some of these videos take sooo long . I appreciate you watching them brother
@@FishinNStuff I love em all! Keep em comin brother and thankyou!
@@FishinNStuff My pleasure! I know we all love em. Can't imagine the time and knowledge it would take to make a video but you got it down right!
Thank you brother
For a walking wait I just use electrical wire in assorted sizes and lengths that I get from an electrician friend of mine just screw a I bolt up through the end there you go
el mejor de plomada de piedra y tubo hierro o acero de construcción... es muy simple natural y cero contaminación..
Great video fishin stuff .I've thought how do you think a price of bicycle chain dipped in plastic dip for a dragging wt. Just saying love your videos.
Ol my gosh that's a very interesting idea man . Ima have to try that
That's awesome going to have to try some of these tricks, thanks for the great video!🎣🎣
I made sinkers useing a rock wrapped in a piece of paper bag tied with cotton string it will last a hour or more before paper falls apart and no pollution great for bottom fishing in snaggy water, and u can make almost anywhere
I know another spark plug window shattering trick... Lol
I made several of the step bit weights after that video posted, works awesome! I really like the rebar weight for my next one. Lead is getting hard to find. Thanks for the awesome videos brother!
Those were awesome thanks super K that reminds me I need to make some
EVERYTHING IS GOING UP IN PRICE IT'S CALLED BIDEN PRICES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOR REAL!!!!!!
Gotta watch suggesting spark plugs for sinkers since it isn't legal everywhere to use things like that
Hey the tackle bandits are 30 minutes from my house
that a good heck for the large fishing poles using the broom holdeds .i need aset for myself .
For free lead... go to the firing range. Most places will let you find lead.
Instead of bbs for weights you can try and use filling the tubes with water.
Not many fokes can count to 13 on their faingers… just sayin’! 😁
I love your videos and creativity. Please keep making them... really enjoying.
Your diy videos are the best!
Thank you brother
I really like that rock sinker, it's nice.
Here in the N.W. a slinky is your paracord weight.
Love your videos ❤️. Have made a lot of your hacks and saved me a lot of money. Even the hacks that I don't need i find a lot of other uses for some of them like using the drift weights to help pull electric lines in walls with only e small drywall patch at the top to fix instead fixing the hole wall. Keep the great videos coming.
That's always the most important part the ideas . I always know a good video , if it makes me say ....hey that gives me a good idea 💡 that's what DIYs are all about
like always, your videos are awesome
Great video! I love hacks! Creativity made real.
That .041 is what they safety airplane propellers with
I’ve used old spark plugs since the 90s
epoxy the swivel in a drilled out hole in the end the bolt is another way
I beat john 🎉Thanks for the remainder.
It just amazes me when I see people from all over the world enjoying your great videos. You must be so proud. Thanks for all your hard work and keep them coming. I also wanted to know if you are doing any winter (cold weather) cat fishing?
Thank you , because it Amazes me too lol . My favorite time to catfish is winter and spring but I haven't got to do that much this year . I'm struggling just staying constant with with and my videos . But spring is coming and I love spring equally as much lol
Totally agree,,from South Africa
Ok... separate comment... isn't it way cheaper to buy some of the sinkers you showed... buying stainless bolts/nuts/wire + epoxy + plasti-dip ='s expensive.
Your right it would be cheaper to buy sinkers or make your own , ive got lots of videos on DIY sinker molds . But it's not if you've got SS nuts your not using .
And some states aren't allowed to use lead like in NY . So it's really for them
You can also change the sex of your bolt by addin nuts.
Great hacks going to have to try !! I did try to find aluminum for the rod holder hack but had trouble finding some tube around here !!!
Tube is hard to find here too . I have to buy it new most the time
@@FishinNStuff ok so what is the proper size of tube inside diameter wise ?? Length I can figure he he he !!
Can you smell what the *ROCK* is cooking? Personally, I'm more of a *STONE* Cold fan. Ok, I'll stop with the pun.
Haha 😄
Almost that time of year again! Can't wait!
I got dragon tails I made like this. Last week not tried em yet
Hey love ur video but i wana see some fishing now😆
