      Thought the same after working in retail when I was younger, that really annoyed me (still does when I see it shopping) when you find a steak not just on a random unrefrigerated shelf but actually hidden behind something, I mean is it too difficult to put it back where you picked it up or if you are lazy which you are if you just dump stuff take it the till when you checkout and hand it in there to have a staff member return it for you. Rant over lol.

    Few thoughts...
    The outer layer of the tape probably had to be put in the opposite direction, so that it doesn't open the seams when dragged against the water flow. Additionally when seams are open (as seen on the video) it may create an extra drag to slow you down.

      I'm sure there was something at the Dollar store with a pull tab. But when it comes to fishing, he could have taken a whole tackle box full of fishing lures and still caught nothing. Fishing is like that sometimes, especially when you want or need to catch at least one. @@justincaseypoohed1823

    You have enough safety pins to make an excellent treble hook... in fact, you were more than halfway there! Twist three more safety pins upside down just above the hooks. The idea is to have it function just about like a snap clip carabiner.
    Since the Spring Loop is already made in the safety pins, this should be easy enough to accomplish. It may even help to keep the hook more weedless too!
