Paracord Fishing Lure - "Tip Of The Week" E37

[@lawrencetrujillo65]

FNHot When is the last time you did something for someone you didn't know? Regardless of delivery, he does this out of the goodness of his heart, and the heart knows no prejudice. Regardless of what is in the mind the heart always feeds it. Jeff Bezos has said: "Remarkable story tellers always find an audience." According to KZbin this episode has been viewed 312,215 times! John, thank you for taking the time to enlighten not only me, but 312,213 others.

Having fished multiple s in different sizes and colors, kzbin.infoUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 this is by far my favorite. One thing to be aware of is the sided willow blade. One side is silver and the other is the green/orange shown. This is not bad, just unconventional. In terms of fishing, I have found the lure works just fine without a tail like a craw or shad. That addition is up to you. Also, the hook part where you attach the swivel snap or tie the line is a problem on baits these days, since it's able to slide up and down. However this lure seems to be tight enough that that doesn't happen often, and you can solve it by putting a thin slice of medical tube over the hook before attaching the line. Like others have said, it's really magic on a good windy day.

[@IntenseAngler]

They're definitely some good lures for sure. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment Mia... it's very much appreciated!

[@rq1970]

My wife & I made some of these last week. woodland camo, blaze orange & OD green. We had nonstop action . Every cast the bass were going crazy.

[@catchagrip1322]

Used to fish from my local harbor for mackerel, Mackerel go after anything, i used to use the tinfoil lid that came with a bottle of milk wrapped around a hook. Caught loads with that while others used all sorts of expensive lures ; } This is very good guy's, cheap, easy and quick ; }

[@survivewithout]

one of the best paracord uses I have seen

[@jsaenzMusic]

Man....wish I saw this video before I bought some fly lures from the store. They were for my pill bottle fishing kit but now know I can just use the paracord and hooks already in it for a lure! Really brilliant guys. Thank you.

[@IntenseAngler]

Thanks for passing along this story Sherri... it's always awesome to hear that the younger fellows are out there working on new projects and outdoor skills. Hope they all had a great time! All the best... John

[@jeffreydieterich7711]

This is brilliant. The best part is that if you make his fishing paracord bracelet and you end up in a survival situation you don't even need to find any bait.

[@jasonnealey8325]

Its rare I learn something useful in these how to videos but I learned from yours , you got my Sub because of it

[@IntenseAngler]

I'm really glad to hear that you found this video useful brother. And thank you very much for subscribing, it's truly appreciated! Best.... -John

[@BladeHQ]

Thanks for the tip. We just tried it out in on of our videos.

[@Pillowpetlover]

hey blade hq

[@hotrodprepper656]

AWSOME IDEA!!!! soon as the weather warms up I'm gonna be trying this ...... pure genius.

[@IntenseAngler]

Some really good ideas there for dressing up one of these little lures... thanks for passing 'em along. To answer your question: the lure does sink nice and slowly, allowing for some great jigging action. Thanks for the kind words & support by the way... much appreciated!

[@phillipcooper8971]

That's REALLY freaking cool! Now I know what to do with all those small bits of paracord I have left over!

[@briann6267]

Aloha from Hawaii. Thank you for this tip/instruction brother! Great video, been buying lures like this and have been lucky to find your great video. I can save some money now! Don’t mind the negativity of other people when they post sarcastic or hateful messages. Thank you again and take care.

[@jgp2672]

I used to do a lot of fly tying and never though of this! Have a lot of paracord in many colors; you can bet I will be making some of these for me and my son who also loves to fly fish. Many thanks for for the idea and the vid.

[@RYDENROAM72]

thanks for that great vid. I have to try that. i have all different colors of Paracords and never thought of actually making a lure out of a piece of paracord. again thank you very much. i have to try this one.

[@eschwebach]

I have seen a lot of survival tips and tricks videos and I have to say this is one of the best ideas I have seen. Thank you.

[@IntenseAngler]

Depends on water conditions mostly. The orange and white was working awesome in the stained, low-visibility water that I was fishing here though... especially when the light started fading at dusk. Black/white is killer on our clear mountain streams for trout though! Tight lines Brother...

[@MtnBadger]

First really original thing I've seen w/paracord in sometime. I don't know who the 52 lunkheads are that gave you a thumbs down for this vid... I can only hope they were "missfires." I now have an idea to make my local fish freakshapoy and maybe a couple extra bucks for me. They'll but anything... lol I can even see a few "tweaks" for it in my head already. Thanks very much!

[@troycalloway1858]

just tried this, thanks for sharing man!.....works great as a Jigg for Walleye-what i used and was killin them all day-chartreuse/neon yellow paracord and a shot weight 4-6 inches from the lure to keep it on the bottom. Best part is is that this lure dosent sink so it stays off the bottom

[@newportnick19]

I started watching your videos a few months ago, and I must say that they are some of the better survival videos on KZbin.. As one who enjoys the outdoors, especially fishing, your videos kick butt and show some really fun and useful concepts. Makes me want to get out and try things such as this lure, and that straight hook (I forget the name of it though) you just showed. Keep the videos coming!

[@LGSkywalker82]

another awesome and simple trick of the survival trade...thanks!

[@Rangersly]

NIce and easy! Perfect for the small survival fishing kit. Thank you for sharing that awesome idea!

[@the1sgjohns]

That was a great idea. I truly would love to see more fishing using this technique. Sadly I suck as a fisherman so I live vicariously through others even while they are in the same boat. lol

[@hokulea96]

Great idea ! Good job putting that video together and demonstrating the paracord lure.

[@fishfreakdennis7391]

Made a few myself with cord like this, caught a nice bunch of perch on it here in Holland!..did it the jigging method with a weighted hook. good video!

[@Woodenarrows]

This is really great tip John. Makes that 550 cord in out PSK's even more useful. Thanks for the post...

[@polyhedraegratea3045]

How have I not thought of this yet?!? Awesome. Cheap and effective. thanks man

[@brixafterdark]

I don't fish, but this is another awesome tip. I love all the things that you find to do with paracord. Thanks John!

[@raymondthompson2908]

Great video. Nice looking lure, and easy to make. Thanks. Ray

[@Hwyrunner101]

WOW!!! who would've thought, Great idea thanks John. It might have been a small fish but in a emergency situation that would hav been dinner.Have a good weekend Happy trail.

[@SooperCherry94]

Very cool. Could very easily be used in survival along with the para-cord fishing line.

[@giannistsitsos3268]

Greetings from Greece john , Thanks for every single tip , your videos are great inspiration

[@mobiltec]

That was great. I've made lures out of all kinds of things before but this is just EASY! I'm gonna try it on my Colorado trip next month... Thanks again for a great video John.

[@preppingtosurviveuk-scorch9557]

What a fantastic idea, Nice one bud!

[@IntenseAngler]

+scorcheo ukpreps Thanks man.. really appreciate that!

[@IntenseAngler]

Thanks Camp :-) Hope you have a great weekend Brother!

[@clopez0927]

I can't wait to take the kiddos out with this rig!! Thanks

[@CavemanCody]

Sweet! I gotta try this next time I go fishing. I love the reactions I get when my dumb little diy and stuff catches fish

[@xanadu1jw]

Great tip! Will probably show this to my friends who like to fish.

[@americanfisherman9781]

Intense Angler, I really enjoyed this how to video. Very cool! I'm going to have to try this!

[@jaxboonie]

props to you bud...you come up with some of the most original things on youtube.

[@stewboywsr]

Great survival tip!! Can't wait to try this out. I tie flys as a hobby, this will be fun for the kids aswell. Thanks Stewboy.

[@eloctocs13]

Great idea. I'm going to try one this weekend. Thanks and keep them coming.

[@wildHarvister]

You sir! deserve a cookie!

[@Andysfishing]

Hey John what's going on, hope everything is alright? At this rate my fishing channel will catch up to yours in about 2 years, time to get a wriggle on. ;-) All the best, Andy.

[@MrJusnoe3]

Would love to see more paracord lure fishing footage. Cool idea thanx.

[@kelemaba]

i love how you say "lur" =] and cant wait to make some and try them out!

[@animusauthor]

I am kicking myself for not thinking of this. Great idea and great vid. Ty for posting.

[@cz5213]

Great idea, quick and simple. Good survival tip, thanks

[@naturalverities]

Great idea! This could also be a great way to dress a treble hook with "bucktail". Also, a sharpie pen can add visual texture to the body, and a bead or a ring of heat shrink tube can create a head if desired. I have to try this.

[@LEO1WOLF]

Would sure like to hear how your ideas panned-out my Friend, as I was thinking the same.

[@naturalverities]

@@LEO1WOLF Thanks for the reminder! TBH I haven't tried this yet, but would like to when I get the chance, as the panfish are waking up in my "secret" ponds! Cheers!

[@ewtoutdoors]

Great tip, love this one. very simple but comes out great. Thanks and take care.

[@kullcraven]

Dude that is very cool, around my area, i have cut 1 inch pieces of plastic straws and put a hook in them. Tied 4 or 5 to a line and used them to fish mackeral. This here would work also, for them, bass, panfish, pickeral, and many more , jigs work great sweet job bud

[@NampaHiker]

This is just way to cool brother. Whenever I see your DIY vids, I ask myself "Why didn't I think of that."

[@RustyNail5856]

That was great , I loved it . nice going thanks for sharing.

[@FelixImmler]

Fantastic Tip! Thanks a lot! Greets from Switzerland Felix

[@cortez3jlb]

What a cool scout project. You're ideas are first class!

[@DrFelonious]

I've been doing this for a while on the assist hooks on some of my jigs. Easy, quick and works well.

[@badjujuR6]

I wonder how effective this would be for fly fishing...... Very cool.... Might give it a shot....

[@DougPalumbo]

Great tip! Minus the hook, paracord is almost a fishing kit itself...lure and line!

[@sandrag4363]

Thanks matey for the tip. Much appreciated from Australia.

[@russelllisesr2142]

very cool. have you tried other colors? what works best?

[@inspireAson]

Wow John! One of your most polished videos yet :) Love all of 'em but this one was very concise, informative, and entertaining. Always impressed with your tips!

[@fishingminnesota6228]

Very cool tip I always have para cord laying around so I made a ton of these. Great tip.

[@bluegill2030]

That is awesome!!!! Good to put in a survival pack or something

[@OutofWORKoutdoors]

i am fisherman, and i know this lure will work. no doubt about it. Thanks for sharing. i will try this out and record and post up the results on my channel..Thanks for sharing.

[@IntenseAngler]

Yeah, it works surprisingly well. Would love to hear about your success with it when you get the chance :) Tight lines!

[@Praxt3r]

Ur a genious. Love the lure and the test. I have made like 30 so far. Keep making videos

[@LEO1WOLF]

I'm not quite the angler my Pops hoped I might become, so I looked at this VID on a survival level - - anything to help get food on the end of your hook. And holy shit! I couldn't believe how fast you hooked one! Anyway, I like the detail you put into the VID right down to splaying each & every strand. Again, not much of a fisherman, but will be looking into your other VID's for some other helpful tips. God Bless & hope you & yours are COVID-FREE. Cheers from Aurora, CO.

[@wjf213]

Great tip. I bet you could even place a small feather or two in there before melting it if you were using a larger hook. I place a small spinner spoon with a very small split ring and attached it to the hook eye to give it a little flash. I never had anything to dress up the hook though, but I do now. Does this seem to want to float on top of the water more or does it sink? I really love your videos bro. Keep up the GREAT work.

[@mizzpellergingersnaps5989]

You made that so easy to follow. I think I could do it. Thanks.

[@thecasualfront7432]

Very clever work mate! Nice 👍

[@scampster]

another home run!!!! great work brother

[@joni4cats]

Hey John--Have you tried other colors of paracord? If so, which were most effective? Have you tried this with a jighead?.

[@steintanz]

At least you got me lured into fishing again :o) Thanks & best greetings, Tim

[@BCMountainMan67]

Totally awesome concept. Thanks for the great fishing ideas and tips.

[@toniclark7093]

awesome idea!! cant wait to start making these!! keep up the good work!! 😃

[@Skills2survive]

Thats awesome. I will be trying this one for sure.. Thanks for sharing John....

[@brhitch]

I'm thinking this might work even better on a fly rod. Going to have to give it a try.

[@BartleyJ]

Cool! maybe spray with scotch guard to make it float some.. Also, take a minnow and rub the lure on it to get the smell on. love the idea! keep up the freat work. Dont forget to film the woofer, he's a fun little dude.

[@sebastianglenn9658]

Wonder how effective it would be with a lead head hook and a barrel swivel? I might try that! Thanks for the tips and this amazing idea!

[@noflyzone13]

Awesome tip, Heading out for a week of camping /fishin /snorkelin at one of the Springs here in Florida ,and will be trying this out ,plus new subscriber B/C of this Tip

[@sherriwilson2732]

they do work well. sent one to boy scout camp. The instructor for the fishing badge had the boys make them and the rod to catch fish to earn their fishing badge. all the boys caught their fish with in 20 minutes. Thanks for the tip.

[@RushCampAndPrep]

alright that is absolutely genius. gonna go make a few of those right now. best tip ever.

[@PAplays_Official]

How long did it take to hook a fish

[@ogburnpaul]

you can make these with the weighted hook heads and they look great

[@FLsheepdog1]

AWSOME! The only thing I can say is, I wish I thought of that. The best part is, they work!

[@dustindailey1540]

i've caught 13 bass and countless bluegill on mine, put a split shot right above the eye when you have it tied on, and when you make it wrap it with one of the inner strands it helps hold it together and make it look better, john if you would like to see my design id be happy to send you pics

[@jwatt65]

Nice...great project with my Grandson!

[@ShadeSlayer1911]

You think this would work even better with some reflective paracord?

[@TomsBackwoods]

Thats Kick Butt bro! Awesome Tip!!! definitely going in the bag!! Thanks for the knowledge!!

[@groovesme]

Great little lure. I wonder which color works best for the fish in your waters?

[@MrJimJD]

Good tip!! Just a thought, but I wonder that by tying some inner cord around the eye, much like a (insect) wing, could be worth trying?

[@Самоделкидлярыбалки]

Hello, good baits are obtained, thanks for the video! I, too, are made baits at home. Super!

[@SignedSign]

awsome, so if you make your paracord fishing bracelet in a bit brighter color it can also be used to make lures of

[@zain142]

Thank you vary much for the tutorial but I have a question will this work for river salmon and what color is best for river salmon. Thank you very much awesome video

[@liamellul2789]

Just a video idea... You should upload a video of you un ravelling a paracord fishing bracelet, and create a lure like this ;) If you want to take it further, I'd like to see a camping trip where for dinner, you do what I said above and cook the fish. Love the tips and all the other videos you post!

[@DF4Trap]

I like your idea so much I put it in our survial/bait tins in our trapping kit. Hope you don't mind. Thanks for the videos.

[@jasonmoreno1969]

THAT WAS COOL. I wanna get back into fishing recently and that would make perfect flies.

[@davidsalisbury8830]

Awesome lure... I would maybe add a very small weight to the front to help add to the performance.

[@drallen888]

Very cool and as always well presented.

[@lucabellotti1616]

Hey did you use a small weight when you fished with it?
