Homemade Bottle Top Lure - Fishing Hack
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- As a kid I grew up making these nifty homemade bottle top lures, they are super simple to make and can be great for family time. They also make for a great fishing hack, in case you are stranded and need a little ingenuity. The only things that you need to create your own bottle cap lure include:
A drill and a 1/16 ounce drill bit
Split rings & split ring pliers
A #4 or #6 treble hook
BB's or split shot sinkers
Drill holes in both sides of the cap and be sure to leave enough clearance from the rim, so that the integrity of the cap stays intact. Utilize your split ring pliers to open the rings and start gradually rounding them onto the cap, add a ring to both sides, once completed you can add your treble hook. Lastly, pour in a few bb's and squeeze the cap closed to prevent them from coming out. You can use your hand or a pair of pliers to aid in close the cap.
Obviously in a situation where you are stranded you would not have access to these essential tools and would have to improvise. Whenever I venture into the woods, I always have a small care pack that includes fishing line and hooks. I would advise you to do the same for good safety measures. If you enjoyed this fishing hack I would ask that you please give a thumbs up, subscribe and share. Thank you and until next time, we will see you on the water.

I tried it and it works! I catch more than any of my Rapala. I made 2. One I added ear foam protection to the inside but left enough room for BBs to rattle.
I use these SO much for trout that it’s practically the only lures I own.
Josh sir , thanks for this incredible vid , cause i recently got into making my own bottle cap lures ,what i've done was i took a lighter and heated up the bottle caps on soda bottles those plasticy kind and melted them down then dip them in water to prevent fires from happening and then shove a safety pin through the bottle cap and have hole to put the o ring and i personally got turttles to chase bottle caps
Very simple. Nice! Here in Brazil, I will try to fish Trairas with this bait. Thanks for that idea!
How'd it go?
did it work?
good stuff. I used to make all kinds of lures like this. My favourites were the spoons I made.
+Wheels gone Wild That is pretty cool too, I've watched a few of those videos.
Wheels gone wild did u ever catch anything
This works so well on trout to a point where it’s my go to,
Tip add cheap feathers for design
You probably dont give a shit but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream all the latest movies and series on Instaflixxer. Have been watching with my girlfriend recently :)
@Ryland Zain definitely, I've been watching on Instaflixxer for years myself :)
Simple, clear and to the point presentation. good job.
Glad you liked it
I like that for survival. In my survival situation, I will make sure to carry a box of split rings and a set of treble hooks, along with needle nose pliers and a portable drill...lol
I just made my own lures out of wood.!!!
can't wait to try them out!!!
That is pretty cool
son unos genios muy habilidosos me enseñan mucho por mas que soy matricero gracias
I appreciate that, glad to help.
These catch some bass .....about 4-5 months ago my son and i made these for a class project of his teacher and classmates really liked them he brought home and put in his tackle box and around 5wks ago me my son and my brother inlaw were out fishing and we were catching a few but was slow and my son tells me hey dad im gonna tie on my root beer lure i knew he was gonna try the bottle cap lure out i said idk bud dont think it will get bit he tied on anyways and on the first cast bam a decent 3 pounder he ended up catching atleast 6 more "biggest being just under 5" in less than 30 mins was just great to see made for some great memories. ... made me a believer in them for sure
That is great, they make for an awesome project with kids. We did a video with ours and we caught a slew of fish. Lots of fun.
Oh sure every time I am in an emergency situation I always carry my drill and pliers....
LOL just kidding.. Love your video....
You get the drift lol.
Carry a multi-tool with an awl and you're good.
HAHA I was thinking the same thing. Actually, if you really were in a survival situation...a short section of drinking straw and a trebel hook behind an in-line weight will catch Spanish macs. Fun video!! When I was a little kid, I made a popper lure out of a Lincoln Log...haha
Cherokee Rose I was thinking the same thing lol
Reduce, reuse, recycle... Bob the Builder would be proud! I need to try this!
gotta see this work.. I'm in Boston, too cold to try right now but you bet your ass I'm gonna!! Cool little thing to do to catch a FISH!!
twisted tea caps works great I caught a sauger on it today at the river 💯🎣
Thanks again Josh !!
+Alvin Wolfe Thanks for watching
Nice Idea
Watching from New Delhi India
"....i got these split rings. They're really cheap, like $8.00." Now maybe its just me, but thats not cheap!!!! 😮
i bought split rings for 6dollars and in the packeg was 100pcs
@@user-vz4ui9wo6z there’s a space between 6 and dollars also it’s $6, also *package* but you were close enough!
putting a small piece of foam inside the cap helps it flot abit and keeps it just below the surface of the water..
Nice to get a reply hope you are having a great time over there i'm in Australia
Fishing and working, can;t wait to get to Australia to do some fishing.
Joshua Taylor ok
This amazing.. i think can do.
Want to meke it too..
Thanks dude.
Very good video
Very nicely demonstrated.
Thank you!
Very cool video! Keep these type of videos coming, Josh!
+Chris “BYAFishing” Matt Thanks Chris and will do.
ur awsome
Chris Canning
Chris Canningbeowy
Good like 👍👍👏
Good look!
Very Nice.
Awesome video!
cool hook im happy beaceuse im watch the idea for fishing thank you
i was watching another video of a guy using bottle cap lures and he said they have no action and only caught 1 fish, but if you add some bbs to the lure I'm guessing this bottle cap would be very very effective during the ice fishing season when your just jigging it up and down while it makes that rattle sound to draw fish in
Good idea!!
NO ACTION: This cap lure needs to be Twitched to impart some Action. As a homemade Lure Maker, I have Experimented With Teaking cap lures, so they will" HAVE" there own action. The Solution is a Different, " PULL POINT" I drill a few spaced holes on the radius curved , folded shoulder, and use a tiny, " Snap clip"
to change various pull point angles. This causes them to have a Tight wobble, progressing to a wider wobble as you clip to a further " Rearward hole. ALSO you can add a teaser attraction Tab on the Hooks Split ring, such as " SWEDISH PIMPLE LURES, RED OR YELLOW" Little plastic tabs. You can order online. Good Luck with these Enhancing Methods.
Awsome dude. Never seen anything like it.
Thanks bud!
Nice brother
Thanks
Never thought about that
Muy bueno el video saludos desde Argentina
Yes because when ever any one is in a bad situation they have there drill and pliers
shot gun Shell work's better to.its like a Popper you should try it
I am going to try it
hunter parker lalongitee
yo finger ring is beautiful
Gonna try this here in East Texas. Think it might work in these city ponds/lakes.
COOL IDEA. next video you should catch a fish with it. we all know all you gotta do is find some cravell jack
I'm going to put something together showing that it works. Keep watching. ;)
Autoo Zero this idea is from a 🇨🇦 guy I did years ago
Joshua Taylor they don't work people used to make them just to hang on there hats 🎩 back in the day
I have a video showing that they do work. ;)
ruclips.net/video/K_Oafh4iSRI/видео.html
It's a good idea.. will try it soon.. thanks man
You are welcome!
Good idea
Thanks Paul!
If I ever need to survive I'll just hope I can find a good drill maybe a cordless 😂
you can pierce a bottle cap with a knife
i just made it i am trying it tomorrow
Nice!
Yes I’m going to just randomly find a drill and pliers and hooks on the shore
Let alone a rod and reel
Use a sharpened nail and a rock - -
Sharpen the nail WITH the rock,
Or just go VEGAN !!
that's good I never thought of that I'm haft to try that out
Fun project that surely works.
I personally prefer aluminum cans you can cut a little fish shape out
ever put a ballbearing inside to rattle? wonder if that would attract more bass? pretty cool idea.
Patrick Dillon I've put bbs in the top, they work great.
any ideas on poptops from cans? I'm on the lake now without any caps & nothing is biting...but drinks are cold ;)
I've never used them but I'm sure you could get creative.
I agree
Me too
That's really cool
Thanks Luke!
Nice concept
Thanks Curtis, checkout the video of us using them. Lots of fun!
Very interesting!
I like this man 🔴 🌊🦈😍❤️
Very nice 👍
Wooow.. Nice..
So cool good job mean
Good my friend.....👍👍👍👍👍👆👆👆👆👆🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
that is too cool!
I thought so, something fun to do with the kids too.
Sei un grande!
Muito Bom
Great idea!
+Gulp_Man102 Thanks Gulp_man.
Haven't made any but just might make a few n see if the Salty Trout like em Tight Lines 🎣 Capt
AWESOME..👍👍😎
Can't wait to try this
+Patrick Allen awesome Patrick.
I made a Metal lower from a battery
very handy, plz share the link of catching fish with it.
Cool video but where are you going to get a power drill if you're stuck on a desert island or abandon somewhere that doesn't really make sense but overall good video
Not all survival situations will be like stranded desert island. It could be that society starts to break down and store shelves aren't stocked anymore. You haven't found fishing gear and you need to scavenge/improvise from trash/abandoned properties, etc.. You could easily source all of these materials, and there are ways to punch holes through aluminum w/out a drill. This video is a good foundation to get you thinking about the fundamentals of fishing in a post-industrial world.
survival is right
cool hi from Minnesota gonna try
Patty Bell h
ไม่รู้เรื่อง
Me to! Cant wait to try these!
sehr cool
Very good Life Fernando Brasil RS
Any video on using this lure and catching fish?
smart man ganna do that soon
+JOE del 956 Fun project
Put some bb's and a feather tail at the end. Woohoo lol
Absolutely, check out my latest video: ruclips.net/video/VlSEmvUY55M/видео.html
La batteria x
Does this work on bonito please reply quick
Bonito will hit anything flashy and fast. So yes it will work but you better have strong hooks.
muito bom
Thank you
Yes It was ok It works. Thank you for this video
Do u get fishe....it works?
I actually made me some just messing around one day while being bored I put split shots in mine and used the end of a feathered beetle spin
Does it really work well in like a pond?
Exposes the bullshit we all get sucked into. Good stuff
Thanks Salty Dog, you can definitely catch fish with it but there are alternatives that I would absolutely prefer lol.
Joshua Taylor Didn't want to hear that. We need to interview some fish to see if they can tell the diff between a $25 lure and a spinning bottle top.
Salty Dog889 Did you watch my video of me putting it to work? We caught a variety of fish using it. :)
Joshua Taylor this video is awesome also are you in FL if so where about I'm in Bradenton I'd love to get to go fishing with you!!!
Hello Raymond, I am located near Apollo Beach FL.
We might have to meet up someday so I can really learn how to fish n pass the knowledge to my children I'd love to get to fish with someone that knows how and where to get fish lol
Did they quit biting on Bud Light caps when those commercials
Came out ?
You know they did
can it handle a gt?
Could put sum bbs or beads in it to make it rattle
Continue
I'm new to fishing so I have to ask.. the lure is the bait or would you add bait?
The lure is the bait. 👍
cool vid
Thanks Nick!
In s survival situation i would totally use this because power drills are abundant in the wilderness😂😂😂
Muito bom mesmo
What if your in a survival situation and you don't have a drill or pliers🤔🤔
You can use most sharp object to puncture the thin top.
Ever put any bbs in them to give it a rattle?
+Derek Perez Yes indeed, they work great.
I Salty...what the measure the orings? Thanks
Size two or three split rings will work fine.
Fallout fans: *hyperventilating*
I tried it and ended up hooking a beer can !
Was it good beer atleast?
@@Saltyscales An old can of Dortmunder Union Dark . . . .

Metal
Hey I'm doing a survey asking 100-500 people if they would sell their homemade baits and lures on my website? There's only one fee and that is 15% commission off every item you sell.
does it really catch fish?
It really does, checkout my video of us using it.
