How to add a Cheap & Easy Bait Keeper to ANY FISHING HOOK!!

[@Nubenhoofer]

I used to do the same thing with a small piece of flexible intruder wire. Works really well, but now I go a different route. I use JB Weld Quiksteel to shape a keeper on my texas hooks that looks very close to the zman lead chinlockz. I experimented with a few different mediums for this style. One that worked well was oven bake polymer clay, but after time they started to deteriorate. I was at the auto parts store and saw the quiksteel and it just made sense. It is an epoxy that bonds to the steel in the hook, so it's as tough as the lead ones without the extra weight, and those of you that don't want to invest in a vise can do it super easy! Side note, the quiksteel can irritate your skin, so take appropriate measures to mitigate skin contact.

[@InshoreChaos]

Thanks for the tips. The thing I actually like about your tips is that I might actually use it. Not many people can actually do that 👍

[@lojofishing]

Very interesting. I have also had issues with a keeper working TOO well, I'll have to give this a try

[@RickWeiner13]

I know im not the only one that has been impatiently waiting for this very video.

[@danielrigg9715]

This is one of the best how to videos I've seen.

[@BigDaddysPlati]

Ben is the best KZbin angler hands down.

[@hodge726]

Good info right there.. I have been using the A Mart keeper for years. Works great..

[@frankiemoore6595]

Hell yeah , keep them coming . Really appreciate you taking time to show the little things that will help the average fisherman like myself ways to save money and catch more fish . Keep up the good work .

[@josezamora9152]

These lure making/modifying videos are the best!

[@jasontheryan]

Totally doing this to 90% of my hooks this winter in preparation for spring, thanks for finally showing how to make it. Btw, thanks for turning me onto Prof!!

[@jasontheryan]

Also, Happy Thanksgiving!

[@choccythickshake1074]

Im bloody addicted to fishing videos right now any one else?

[@chrishill9645]

Great idea. Going to start rigging over the winter months so I'm ready for the spring . Cheers

[@fortherelease1688]

definetly gona try this out. everywhere i fish just about has tons of weeds and other things to snag on. this is gona help a ton. thanks for sharing.

[@timothydysinger6352]

Little trick from a fly tying addict. Keep your bobbin closer to the hook. Makes tying on much easier and quicker. Learn a whip finish will hold better than a half hitch

[@joecanez3068]

Nice video... can you demonstrate how they work? Like how to put the plastic on? Thanks!

[@timpowell1463]

I really enjoyed seeing how to make your own jigs and other things!! love to see more for sure!

[@daisygibson9331]

Very helpfull, ive been waiting for you to show this.. thanks so much!!

[@gerritkjonker8606]

[@jameslow5534]

[@jango565]

I would like to see some more custom tackle making videos, Ive really enjoyed them so far.

[@hesspatrick95]

[@charliev552]

Nice one

[@hc_gabe4078]

How r u posting videos on Thanksgiving?? Hope u ate some food and watched some football! Happy Thanksgiving! Awesome tip too

[@jacksonsmith373]

wonder if this will work with treble hooks... 🤔

[@lv2fish13]

Awesome! Well done!

[@spaloslvnv]

Am I the only person that likes straight shank hooks (w/keeper) over worm hooks? I been using flipping hooks on senkos lately! lol

[@hunterwatkins489]

Last time I came this early my sister didn’t talk to me for a week

[@BigDaddysPlati]

Lucky! It took her a month to talk to me.

[@loganu3990]

I can't tell you how much this made me laugh😂

[@InshoreChaos]

Southern pride yee yee

[@texican8441]

Hunter Watkins howdy neighbor! 😂

[@patrickconnors8403]

I like it.

[@3ldJnd2011]

Problem fixed 👍🏽🔨

[@TritonTr20x]

Is this the hook keeper you use on the juggle minnow setup?

[@23recrabtree]

Yes vote on the custom painted lures....

[@JaxBaron]

Where did you get the small vice? Happy thanksgiving!

[@bobp6166]

Buy a cheap fly tying vice.

[@aaronsnodgrass5485]

Robert Pagodin any recommendations?

[@7citiesfishing]

awesome video man!

[@willwetherington]

We need those paint vids, Ben! Have a good day, bro. Awesome bait keeper!

[@FishingChanneltv]

well done

[@Glock-1]

Great video bro thanks

[@lightningstrikelures2393]

Good vid MF'r nice tip... I've done similar with small gauge wire...this is way easier...thanks for the tip!

[@itskoolaidworld5104]

do a vid where you see if super glue effects fishing

[@huntercroak2643]

jacob clary if you squirt it inside your reel it will affect the fishing

[@itskoolaidworld5104]

Hunter Croak I'm mean if you put it on your baits

[@101tomahawk]

Dude ur awesome, thanks for the tip! Let's play a little game ...called just the tip..or maybe ouch ouch ur on my hair

[@minenotyours2411]

That just makes me wanna teenker with Bates

[@wendywendyclare]

Thanks mate well done from Australia ,'/>

[@jameslow5534]

That would be cool bud I’m interested in that bud

[@cagedracer]

I'm new to fishing, what is it used for?

[@bobp6166]

So ur worm doesn't look like a nite crawler

[@erospedrazzoli1132]

Thanks bro

[@RhinoVenturesOutdoors]

I'm too lazy. I learned from BassResouce to just push a short piece of 60lb mono through the top of the worm and the hook eye, then clip the ends off even with the plastic. Hold the worm up fine.

[@civilized5734]

Nice man!

[@adamrobinson3126]

Love it.

[@Glock-1]

I use a bobber stop and slide it up to the bend and it stays in place

[@awesomeness890]

Thank you sir!!:)

[@IV-fad]

Seems east enough, thanks dude

[@brianbarrett6007]

Love it

[@LunkerFishing]

FYI, Aaron Martens since this video has passed away. I fished with him in the past, great guy. R.I.P. Aaron.

[@michaelprice8222]

A great Thanksgiving treat!

[@fishingmojados1121]

Just the tip I swear

[@tagbdf1033]

"Just the tip" def one reason I'm a MFer.

[@Fishing_day_night]

Lol is it weird that I keep repeating this video and try doing this as he’s doing it too

[@eaglemansamjc]

Where can I get the brush guard material

[@bobp6166]

I've been doing this for a couple of yrs. Take the bristles off a push broom. The key is to get a good wrap around the shank first. Good vid....Blade.

[@xnorcal831x]

Just cut each one in half then fold those in half. U will get twice as much

[@momoluvful]

Tenth

[@MakeItTakeItOutdoors]

Aaron Martens is The Scranton Strangler...jus sayin

[@ivanlaz5113]

3rd comment

[@largiesticker3952]

I know some places to go fishing in cuming county and doge county

[@jasonlush7238]

Love the videos, watched most of them. Stop calling subcribers MFer's I get why but it's annoying as F lol

[@cowboybubba854]

Second

[@itskoolaidworld5104]

Kristian Murphy your first

[@Z71Ranger]

It would have been nice if you had shown how the Soft plastic bait went on the hook with this keeper... Oh By way I guess you already know it... Nebraska Football Sucks!

[@BassQuest]

Come to tn and fish with me man, check out my vids. We are wearing them out

[@timeintheoutdoors]

Good info horrible camera focus.

[@HazyIPA15]

Great idea but far too much work. A #4 barrel swivel does a much better job and doesn't tear soft plastics (I prefer welded/solid ring b/c old school wire wrap swivels cling to grass) . Simply slide one on line BEFORE tying hook, thread nose of bait on hook, then thread hook point through the remaining open eye of barrel, then thread body of bait onto hook. KZbin 'Texas Riggin with Parasite Clips' for an example. 10/10 for saving money and catching 10x's amount of fish per bait.

[@eddiestephens868]

Can’t really see to tell what you’re doing. I understand it but just can’t see what you are doing

[@fernandofishingflorida7169]

Check my first cringy video out big homie lol.
