Happy New Year

A Fishin N Stuff video! 2024 can officially start! Woo hoo!

[@DS-sh5we]

Hey Keith! Another great video, using something as simple as a paper clip with just a little imagination. I'm sure many of us have probably already used the ol' paper clip zipper pull hack for our jeans and jackets. Now I have a better use for all those paper clips I've accumulated from all of the paperwork I've had to do over the years.👍

[@markw.4679]

I use the elastic hair ties for zippers. I also use them instead of rubber bands. They don't rot and they are like little bungee cords (I just steal them from my wife). 😁

[@GoonieGooGoo410]

I got tired of buying rubber bands every year so I went ti Amazon and got 100 hair ties very cheap, it’s so much better, been using the same ones for a few years and have tons left

[@kevinliverman9021]

Great information, keep it coming! Very enjoyable! Ty sir!

[@kimbersal1]

I can never stop watching your hacks. Wanna fish with you. I’m in Hendersonville

[@jimjagodzinski3857]

I love this guy !!

[@taylorfritz3801]

My question is who saves a penny for 4 years 😂😂

[@FishinNStuff]

It got stuck in my KZbin drawer lol

[@HauntingsbyDesign]

Also you can put a piece of shrink tube on the paper clip if your using it on a zipper to make it easier to grab/see

[@cillaloves2fish688]

Cool ideas!

[@cozziwysong3905]

grate stuff

[@kentcostello5286]

Hay on the zipper hack I use a key ring its bigger and ezyer for me to grasp.

[@douglashubbell80]

I use paper clips to hold swivels really small one!

[@Deadcntr]

[@markybob_bassplaya1462]

[@hogkillerjp]

[@charleswallace5818]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. Are you going to be in Louisville next month

[@saxon6]

We actually have two dollar trees near us, the "good" one and the "bad" one. We're pretty cosmopolitan

[@kcduce3652]

pilers, duck tape and paper clips are all you need in a pinch

[@orionsgaming73]

Does it not stand to reason that those Tokyo rigs could be cheapened further by tying on fishing line, knotted on the end?

[@lcswartz49]

Well hello BILLY how the hell are you first time I talk to you since the 2024 year began. I hope you and your family had a wonderful holiday merry Christmas and a safe and happy new year. I look I’m kinda under the weather right now and I don’t really feel like talking a bunch but y’all take care. I will catch you later on, keep your line🎣🎣

Hey Katfish, these were some Awesome hacks brother! I was wondering if you ever thought about takin us along on one of your fishing trips and makin a video from the trip. Just curious my mostest favorite youtuber in the world😊😚🤣 Be Safe and God Bless ya my brother from another mother.🫡 Jay.

[@FishinNStuff]

Yep I'm going to make a fishing buddy soon . After all this rain calms down . The last time I went there was trees floating fitec the lake lol

[@JSchlotmann]

I run paracord (550 chord) through my zippers last longer and doesn’t get caught or tangled as easily and you get a knot to hold onto so it’s not slick

[@Alberthoward3right9up]

When using them to fix a zipper put heat shrink over them so stop it snagging and coming undone

[@FishinNStuff]

That's a good tip

[@Alberthoward3right9up]

@@FishinNStuff thanks

[@daryelthomas9414]

I use Paracord for zippers

[@bradleyberdahl6148]

hello from minot nd

[@donniedickerson8077]

I Use paper clips to make my Hook Holder on my rods that don't have them ,,, ALWAYS keep Paper Clips,, Glass Beads And Rubber Bands In The Tackle box,,this ain't About paper clips BUT ,,,, Glass Beads Give you a good return IF you Use LiveScope And I Do , And Glass Beads don't Add extra weight if you don't want extra weight added To your line when Jig fishing AND you just get the Great extra return that sometimes helps you see your Jig, Rubber Bands --> I thread the End of My Fishing line Thru the hole in the glass bead then put the live end of the line Thru the rubber band and Back Thru the glass bead Then pull and stretch until the rubber band pulls Thru the hole in the glass bead then pull the live end of the Fishing line back out and the bead is on your line, the rubber band Holds The bead in place on your line and also Makes it adjustable , I have used this Glass Beads trick for a ultimate bobber stop on my Long jig poles too , The $1.25 store is Awesome 💯😎 ,,lol

[@jasonjordan9145]

I use paperclips all the time dragging they're a time saver when going through the thick stuff. Also replaced a zipper gripper on a jacket and used a piece of shrink tubing to pretty it up. Now I know 9 more hacks. Thanks.

[@brianlykins6663]

Hey, Keith, happy New Year. Great hacks, again. Looking forward to another good year of hacks and Cranky words of widom. God bless ya'll and stay safe on your travels to get these videos done. 👍👍

[@FishinNStuff]

Happy new year

[@bentaylor4570]

Don’t paper clips rust quickly?

[@zednott]

make sure to take the plastic coating off your paper clips b4 you dump molten lead on them.

[@rl2109]

It's over when YOU say it's over. Over and OUT!

[@All_is_Outdoors]

Appreciate your content! Thanks!!

[@davidsparrow1176]

I use a split ring and a piece of Paracord to replace broken zip pulls.

[@kentowakai1234]

Spokane fly fishing federation had a meet-up and a member left his rod home. Made a survival rod with a tree branch and paper clips. They used leader to hold on the eyelets/paper clips. Day saved.

[@FishinNStuff]

That's cool

[@tlefe]

Add any heavier sinker with an eyelet on to a paperclip, and you have yourself a lure knocker if you are hung up. Guide your line in the paperclip, and hold your rod tip high to get the momentum.

[@Appalachian97]

LETS GO

[@pedrocruz4710]

Awesome hacks Keith!

[@MyronTheHen]

As always, this frigging video is a dangum masterpiece!

[@jenniferwhite6089]

i do think you need to give your fish a raise going to the next bob hope

[@majorwayne9866]

A bit of advice on the Tokyo rig. If you fish around wood, down trees, limbs etc… use a pointed bullet weight. Round, football or egg shaped weights tend to wedge themselves on any Y shaped wood it contacts. The way it’s made in this video, a wedged weight will pull off bit if you don’t wanna keep replacing weights…

[@miketech2]

Paper clip compass is legendary! 👏🏼

[@royburris4126]

Your videos are useful and funny as heck I love the paperclip one's never thought of them thanks

[@YouretheMan-r6h]

Keith, Have you ever purchased a rod and it doesn't have a hook holder on it down by the reel so you have to hook your lure on one of the line eyes. Well paper clip #12 you can cut a paper clip bend both ends and either tape the paper clip on the rod or wrap it with fly tying thread. Now you have a place for your lure. Thanks for showing those 11 hacks ~ Two thumbs up. Tight Line

[@daryelthomas9414]

Zip tie a snap ring works well

[@allnewmate]

Clothes pin works good to

[@davidsparrow1176]

Just found another way to replace a zip pull. Zip pull broke whilst beach fishing. No split rings, paper clips. So just used a large snap link.

[@BrokeBackBob4559]

I still say that we need a full video of the lure doing the video

[@johnrickards1908]

The last desert island i got stranded on didn't even have a paper clip shop 😂

[@gordontaylor-c8z]

in scotland we used womans hair clips as eyes for weights

[@joesummers9864]

Great tips you never fail to amaze me btw nice knife

[@FishinNStuff]

Thank you It's seen better days lol . I left it on my boat a few times

[@CharlesSmith-mf2qe]

Great video. Thanks

[@jstrunck]

With all these fishing tips, you and ratty must not spend anything on brand name fishing gear anymore? Pinchin’ the ol’ Abe Linkin’ lol Tell Ratty we said hey. I am going to watch the sanker mold that I guess I missed. John

[@FishinNStuff]

Yeah do still buy name brand products too lol . I still haven't figured out how to make hooks and my own fishing line yet , but im wiring on it 😁

[@PontoonJodiCatfishing]

thank Goodness you posted a video. Im snowed in and bored to death!!!

[@FishinNStuff]

Lol . Be safe , I'll see you at CatCon

[@MrTarHeelUNC]

Over the years, I had over 100 KZbinrs that I saved and followed. Had way too many. Decided to cut my list down to 15. You made the cut just because your videos are awesome and I actually use some of your hacks. Thank you for all you do.

[@FishinNStuff]

[@joedarden2276]

Outstanding

[@allanfahrenhorst-jones6118]

Good job. 😇👍

[@chrissewell1608]

I had seen that compass idea, years ago, but never tried it. The problem with using it when you are stranded at sea, is.... even if you know where land is, You Are Still STRANDED AT SEA! I'm just say'in 😂 Your boat don't work!....

[@FishinNStuff]

Lol

[@Popscatfishing]

Hey Sir! Love your videos! And your little fishing lure helper buddy that tells jokes! He’s awesome!!!! I was so Seeing if your gonna be at Catcon 2024 in Louisville Ky? Would love to meet you! Thanks

I'm sorry I missed your comment . I was really busy before CatCon . And the answer is yes lol

I'm new to your channel and I really enjoy your hacks, tips, and tricks! Do you have a channel where you actually fish? I'm just sayin'. LOL

[@FishinNStuff]

I don't do may fishing videos I do have fishing on my video sometimes . I'm going to be doing a catch and cook soon . But technically this is a DIY channel , you know what I'm sayin 😁

[@danhandke5012]

👍🤣👍❤️👍

[@fishin-impossible2992]

I don't know how I missed this video. These are some awesome tips , I use a few of them. But that rod tip repair was AWESOME. I never thought of that. My notifications got turn off some how. Great video My friend.

[@craigcampbell2687]

Well it points north and south. How do you know which is which if the sun is clouded over. If the sun is not clouded over you don't need a compass.

[@ohiowolfsister]

The end you magnetized points north.

[@YeetOutdoors504]

Another good use for paperclips I'd recommend is if you use baitcasters or conventional reels and need to take the reel off the rod to travel with them, you can tie the end of your line to a paperclip instead of buying those buckle stoppers.

[@davidfraley7955]

What’s up Happy New Year.

[@FishinNStuff]

Happy New Year

[@brandon316]

Expandable braided sleeving can be used for a rod sleeve

[@FishinNStuff]

I had that on a hack video about 4 years ago I think 🤔

[@calebspruell8409]

on todays episode of random crap in your tackle box

[@FishinNStuff]

Lmbo

[@billzerkeley]

You can make a bait dehooker with a paper clip.

[@FishinNStuff]

🤨😯😁

[@michaelbrick9730]

And he keeps bringing it, you know what I'm saying...I'm on the paper clip deal. thanks again...

[@CatfishWeekly]

Nicely done Keith

[@rogermalouf7685]

My favorite video hacks. I also use a paper clip as a sinker slide on the line. Using small ones will be weak enough to pull free and save your terminal tackle. I also drill holes in small sections of tire weights... thread them on the paper clip.... then wrap the other end of the paper clip clip around the line.... cheapest sliding sinker I know.... know what I mean? You know what I mean.... just saying....

[@joebuck66]

Awesome hacks Keith.

[@175grainofdiplomacy]

Hey Keith, another awesome video. I missed the No-Knot-Connector. It's very easy to make from a paper clip and you doesn't have to tie a knot everytime you change your bait. Maybe next time 😉 Nice greetings from Germany!

[@sheliaansley]

Yeah, that homemade compass is really cool. If you can find a paper clips stranded out in the ocean! LoL

[@FishinNStuff]

After watching this video . You should have some paperclips on the boat lol 😆

[@outdoorlife5396]

The N/S thing, it really is just that. If it isn't done exactly right, like at just one end, I have seen some people head south. Double check it with the rising of the sun/setting.

[@PANTHALASSAfishing619]

On the Tokyo rig ,remove the weight and add a blade, makes it like a bottom blade spinner. Keep the vids coming, luv em

[@maxnorgate362]

I've even made a hook while bass fish out of a paper klip it worked so well kept it in my tackle box. Thank you so much for video's. My daughter and I can't wait to watch them. Keep up the good work 💪💪💪

[@luisaraujo4708]

It’s amazing that your homemade compass points north when you know which direction is north.

[@user-neo71665]

Not paper clips but I been using copper wire for most of this for years. Being an electrician I just toss the longer trimings in my tool pouch and bring them home. Freebie is the best price.

[@prestonrussell605]

This video was awesome ! There were some really good hacks on this video. Very interesting !

[@blakej4452]

ABSOLUTELY GENIOUS GREAT VIDEO!!

[@georgelaurie3587]

Thems some purty good ideas rite there ! Love it who knew paper clips would be so handy im throwing some in my tackle box today thanx for the tips

I love your videos! I look every day to see my favorites and your one of them! They’re so enjoyable! Keep these coming!!

[@RWAllen-jx8gi]

I am trying to find the video about some type of dissolving bait "bag/tube." I think that's the one...

[@FishinNStuff]

Maybe this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/mV7JdIOOhr2iZtE It honestly hard to remember lol . It was on a regular fishing hack video . I'd have to go watch em to find it

[@RWAllen-jx8gi]

@@FishinNStuff Found it. Now, do you know where to buy them? Oh, and the Plurrissino Rod holders now come in Orange. Just sayin. You know what I'm sayin? :)

[@1991evanmahoney]

Ive replaced my rod tip with a paper clip before but i wipped it onto the outside of the rod with braided line and super glue still use that rod to this day works great and dosnt look half bad tried to make it look nice when i did it

[@mikejackson2228]

We always just put a bobber on a open swivel. It flies behind you when you set the hook and isn't in the way.

[@allnewmate]

Just curious what is the breaking strength of a paperclip as opposed to a snap? has anyone tested this?

[@JD.California_monkey_mackerel]

Happy new year my friend happy fishing Monday

Great video. Stay warm up there.
