Fantastic idea! Thanks for the video! ! If I might make one other suggestion, you can add a WRIST STRAP while you have the case of the chalk line open make a couple of notches in the plastic either side of the rear screw .This would help prevent a larger fish from yanking the kit out of your hand when slippery, and also so you can drop the reel and use both hands when you bring a fish to shore.

As a kid I used a willow limb or natural river cane(couldn't afford a real pole) that I bent like a bow on one end to flick my Hellgrammite up under overhanging branches on the creek to ambush blue and channel cats.

James, you always get a thumbs up from me, friend. Great little re-purposing project. I looked around on the internet for the Exacto knife blades in a tube and all I found came in flat plastic cases. I believe, but am not certain, that those eyeglass repair kits you find at the checkout of most discount and grocery stores come in a similar tube that would work. It may be smaller that the one you used and, therefore, might not hold as much terminal tackle, but I don't think it's bigger and should fit down in the chalk fill slot. A trick that I learned when I started using the modern and very expensive fishing lines, such as the braided ones, was that you can strip the line off of the reel's spool and tie the end that was always coming off the reel first, onto the reel and now the line that never got used in the past would come off the reel first, providing you with, basically, new line at no additional cost. That is just flipping the line end for end and is not the thing I'm about to suggest. What I want to suggest is, that you do what I did before I learned that trick. My first cost saving idea was to put a bunch of rubber bands or layers of electrical tap in the reel first to build it up, then I would put on 50 or so yards of good expensive line and when it wore out or just got too short, I would reline the reel with another 50 yards. In the case of this makeshift reel, I think you could save on braided line by leaving about half of the twine on the reel, wrap it with a few layers of vinyl tape and then tie on your braided line. Since you will be hand tossing the line, you probably won't be casting it nearly are far as you would with a rod, so 50 yards might not even be necessary. Having the spool as full as possible is probably going to be important towards getting a fast retrieve speed, but a lot of expensive line could end up being used just to fill the inner layers of the spool. That's fine if you have the money and having the extra line to use as construction material, as you mentioned, would be good as well, but if you were working on a budget or are just trying to use up a small quantity of line that you have left over from some other re-spooling job, this might work for you.

I like the fact that you did not waste a single thing. The string and the little thing that you hook onto boards and such can be used to fix another chalk or plumb line reel. As far as your conversion, it's very neat. You won't experience any tangles like can happen with a fishing rod and of course the hand crank makes it easier to reel in the line and the fish. Being able to store the clippers and the tube inside is fortunate. The container is usually an enclosed unit.

Interesting idea! I think adding some type of handle that I could slip over my hand while fishing would also be great. The first fish would pull that puppy right out of my hand otherwise. Especially, if my hands were wet or cold. Just a thought.

Thanks. You could definitely add a glove if you wished. Or a handle of some sort.

You give a lot of good information that I enjoy ! Do you have any information about survival in modern world ? Things are going crazy an we need to learn ways to survive in this changing world .

Yes, I have quite a lot of information on my channel that would relate to that type of information. A lot of my channel is about improvisation which is a very large part of survival.
