BUSHCRAFT SPINNING REEL AND ROD - SOLO OVERNIGHT - CATCH AND ROAST FISH ON SPIT
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 июл 2021
- So I decided to make the reel and rod all natural this time. There is a learning curve mastering casting with my design. At the end of the night I got several nice long cast. I had two things against me. First the rod is fresh green wood. So it's not stiff enough the first days to throw far. I noticed this in my previous rods too, after a few days it dries out and get much more spine which makes for much better cast. This rod worked great and I had a nice catch. I will bring it out again and we shall see the improved power of the rod. And two: I only had a couple of light weight lures with me. Need maybe 10 more grams and it will respond better to the rod and line. I was not sure if to call this a spinning rig or a baitcaster reel. In fact it's a spinning reel when casting and a baitcaster reel when reeling in. So spinning/baitcaster hybrid was too long for the title lol. The reel itself was a super nice improvement over my previous reels I built here on the channel. One: it was super fast to make...maybe just 15 minutes over the old ones that I drilled (and needed a bigger auger over the nifty little gimlet I love and always have on me) and carved out from a solid piece of wood. And two: The reel action was 10 times more smooth because of the much less friction surface between the stick that you mount the reel on when reeling in and the reel itself. Because the bigger friction surface on the old reels I did, they worked horrible if getting wet. So if you dropped it in water or got rain on it fishing that day was over. This one worked just as good when wet. Big improvement. One more thing, when making a survival type of rod like this it's important to get the rim of the reel as smooth as possible with the knife, sand paper or what ever you have. Or else the line will get stuck when casting the spinning way in micro cavities on the rim. You also got to keep the wood moist as long as you want to use it because green wood will crack in a couple of days if not treated with oil etc. You can make it out of dead wood instead but its easy to carve in green wood (and hard to find dead wood without natural cracks) and then when it dries some the dry sticks that plugged the reel get stuck and makes for a strong reel that holds together when you see some pike action. You don't want to put it directly in water, better to keep it under some moss or something. It also works for catching bigger fishes. You don't use the crank adapter I made when fighting it, you hold the reel with your right hand and let it slide if you need to let line out. Now when Im home I will drench it in linseed oil and take it out again in the next trip. Thanks for watching!
DS and please don't compare this rod to a commercial rod. A lot of individuals can't understand why one would use an inferior tool and are dead set on buying their way through this life. Its FUN to build things! I skipped the industrial revolution and made it work. The comparison is pointless. If you have a line and hook this sure beats the old hobo reel. It's all about covering water surface to increase your chances of catching a fish.
It is always good to see your craftsmanship & ingenuity.
Definately!
Hi Lonnie!
Love your channel too!
New videos from Connie, Lonnie and Swedwoods and the day is fine.
Thanks a lot my friend!
Hello I am from South Korea 🇰🇷 but living in Mozambique 🇲🇿/Africa. Me and my hushand are huge fan of you. Your video makes me calm and happy. Thank you for sharing such a good moods. We would love to visit Sweden 🇸🇪
For me, this is the best channel on the Internet. My life is pretty calm but this is like frosting…taking it to a better level. Thank you as always for your skills and efforts.
Watching your craftsmanship is so much fun. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks!
I admire you! your videos convey a peace and a feeling of tranquility to me! Your fault I bought all the camping items! Your imagination and the way you do things is incredible. I was amazed at the oven you made
What a beautiful rod and reel set up 🤩 amazing for me to follow you on your adventures 🥰 keep up with the excellent episodes 👌 I love watching them 🥰
Thank you!
You've set the bar high with this one! Love it.
So many nice scenes, awesome bushcraft. And the feeling of catching a fish on that rod! Really inspiring 👍
A fishing rod like yours is only one in the world.. 😎 Your idea was wonderful and unique..👍
Thank you!
I have watched a lot of bushcraft videos and your rod and reel is by far my favorite. I love to fish and can’t wait to make a version of yours. Hopefully it won’t be too horribly copied. Keep the videos coming! Excellent job! 👍❤️
Thank you!
This guy is one of the all time great bushcrafters. I watch every single video.
Thank you!
Beautiful hand-crafting and scenery! Primitively rich and very professional, everything is cool and controlled, although not easy at all. Great video! Greetings from Finland
That fishing rod is craftmanship at its best. It is both well made and a thing of beauty. Your skills know no bounds . Every viewer of your channel comes away having learned something new. Your filming is world class capturing the true essence of what it is to be out in nature. May i say you have one of the finest channels on RUclips. Many thanks Swedwoods
Great! You're real skillful master 👍
And "sound of silence" in your videos is especially pleasant!
Thanks and good luck!
Hi friend. thanks for sharing your new adventure. greetings from Valencia. 👍
Thank you!
Hi my friend. Another masterpiece of craftman in the woods. A nice utilitiy easy to make and very useful. One more time the master in charge of the nature workshop shows a great video with the great reward. Thank you for sharing and showing
Yep, hybrid spin/bait reel and the thing is, it works. All natural materials right down to the glue holding the line guides in place. Ingenuity and determination are hallmarks of this channel, always something new and useful being made. Looked to me like the cast were decent enough, a stiffer pole will make a marked difference for sure. Nice catch and cook, looked tasty. Great video once again, well filmed. Thanks. Enjoy!
Thank you very much!
🇷🇴🤝🇸🇪..its second time when i see on you a custom made wood fishing pole functional🤩...Really good job .
Thank you!
Brother, you video was a real treat. The shite-meter in my life is pegged above the red line. Your quiet competence and ingenuity in that beautiful habitat was a joy to watch. And more calming than the meds prescribed. Thanks for doing what you do. Peace.
Missed the release of this one, was out in the woods myself! This rod/reel setup is surely a step up from the last one you fashioned - smoother action and better weighted. And the resin on the roots was brilliant. Interesting curing method - in moss. Not an option everywhere, but this is Swedwoods, after all. ;-) P.S. I heartily recommend the Okanagan Wilderness in Washington State, USA. Much drier and more open woodland than Sweden, but stunningly beautiful and full of surprises, mostly pleasant. Keep sharing your passion, my friend!
Yeah and this is why I'm subscribed to your channel, nothing but amazing! Now that's how you catch fish on a budget. Love your channel.
Thank you very much!
It's always good to post your skills & intelligence to me, I always learn a lot from you sir.
wow for the first time I see such an invention in the form of a fishing rod
Shared it on facebook, will watch it later tonight, I kind of trust this guy..
Thanks brother!
These never get old.
Thanks!
WOW! What an awesome reel and rod! I simply admire your skills! And what a catch! Nothing tastes better than fresh self catched fish. Once again your video was full of beauty and very artistc, enjoyable to watch. Stay safe, be blessed and enjoy the riches of summer!
Thanks Marja!
Outstanding skill and a truly great result.
Thank you very much!
Your are a real Bushcraft Man.Best!
It was great to see the moon 🌙twice in different but beautifulsettings & learning patience through fishing 🎣. Thanks again for sharing
Thank you!

Good morning from Colorado. Fantastic video and scenery. Your craftsmanship never ceases to amaze me.
Something I wanted to run by you. I live on a property that was first established as a cattle ranch in the late 1890's. My understanding is that I am only the fourth owner, and I moved here in 1988. Today, as I was going through a bunch of old junk in a long unused shed, at the bottom of a bunch of rubble, I found an axe. Rusted, but not pitted, the handle worn down, but not rotted. I guess it to be either Hickory or Oak. I enjoy restoring old hatchets and axes, so I was pretty excited. As I started removing the rust, I noticed a makers stamp, and ..."In Sweden" under the stamp. The word "made" isn't legible. The maker's stamp is a small circle, with HB, and an arrow pointing up between the H and B. On the opposite side, 1.5, and 3/12 is stamped. I'm assuming the weight in kg and pounds. I was hoping to email you pictures, but I see you don't make your email address available, no doubt for good reason. I thought you may know of the history, and I wonder if HB is still around. Also, I believe the axe head to be forged as a solid piece. Thanks for your time here. Stay safe. Roger
What you got there is an old Hults Bruk axe. Hard to find a better axe than that. HULTAFORS AB is running the factory today but they mass produce so not the same quality. Thanks for watching and your story, atb!
@@Swedwoods Thank you for the response! That makes my find even more exciting. The edge is in bad shape, and beyond my ability to fix. There's a shop here that I'll take the axe to have the edge redressed. Other than that, I'll do some file work, and try to find a handle befitting of the axe. Thanks again! Take it easy. R
Den här var en riktig bushcraft succé! Snyggt jobb o tack för alla videor.
I really enjoyed the video as usual. You are so ingenious in your craft making skills! The rod and reel were awesome!
Thanks!
Shared with my fishing buddies... thanks for reminding us of the simple pleasures of creating something by hand.
Great to see you again Northern friend!..hope all is well with you and yours!😊🙏✌💛🤘
A beautiful project and so many skills included! Master class. greeting Steven
Well you managed to catch supper well done/ nice video 👍🏴
This must have been the tastiest fish in the whole world. You so deserved it. Thank you for the amazingly relaxing, entertaining and educational videos you share with us.
How incredible is that! And what a beautiful piece you can display proudly in your home. :)
This is so mesmerising ✨
Heyyyy
Hello!!!
Nice to see you again.
Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷
Nice job on the fishing rod!!! I like the “spinning reel” casting, and the “bait casting retrieve” best of both worlds. The fish looked tasty too! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Cavemen would gather round to learn from you. Very nice. The fish looked quite oily, needed lemon and perhaps some salt? Love that you give things a go and that you have the skill and craft to pull these things off.
Thanks!
Interesting observation. In an outdoor situation, where you're very active all day, your taste and texture response might skew towards "oil is good." I'm that way out in the woods. Greasy breakfast that I would rarely fix at home is a MUST in the woods.
I always knew you were a very skilled craftsman and you just took it up another level with this rod and reel. Great job!!
A spectacular video showcasing very practical outdoor skills for the environment you're in as well as the raw beauty of the ecosystem. Thank you as well for the wonderful acoustic guitar solo .. it was the icing on the cake!🤝🤙🤝
I love that unique craftmanship.
Thanks!
Thanks for that wonderful video 🙏🤗 on this beautiful Spot 😍
Thanks for watching!
Very nice video, thank you once again. I take it that it is quite warm there now as I see you are sleeping under the stars with no shelter.
Thanks! Worst heat I ever experienced. 33C In the day and over 20C all night.
Very slick craftsmanship on that rod. Bet that fish wash damned good after all that work
I'm gonna try this!! Great craftsmanship, awesome video
Nice job!!! The melted tree sap to glue the eyes was my favorite touch.
En rejäl abborre! Snyggt spö - ett riktigt hantverk!
You are so skilled. 🐠🐠😍😍😍
Thank you!
Hope all is well with you and your family, I sure do enjoy your wonderful and well put together videos, I hope to see a new video soon, from Muscle Shoals, Alabama hello. JJ

Gilligan's Island equipment.. Nice Work!!!
Congratulations on catching the fish, ate the fish, 😂
The best rods are made of hazel, if you have the opportunity, I recommend trying this wood :) It is flexible and durable even after drying. Great fishing rod, beautiful perch, nice camping. Cool. Best regards.
two previous versions was hazel. But its harder to find here. Thanks!
@@Swedwoods oh, I didn't know, thanks!:)
What talent men never seen before keep it up..
Hope she will give you a chance for further outdoor adventures!
