Making a Sharpie marker feeder float (bobber)

[@Ensensu2]

I've been looking for how to make a float that stands up so it's easier to see and this video let me understand the principles behind that design. Thank you for the use for old sharpies as well.

[@ZoltanHercules]

The simplicity in this is akin to genius, everything about it. Long time lurker on your vids. Bravo sir, bravo.

[@nicknick1963]

The feeder holes, brilliant! I got no rivers or lakes near me so I only fish at sea but this has got me thinking on doing something similar for when I'm jigging on the reef. Many thanks from the Philippines

Paul Adams is legendary. No one even knows if he really exists or if he's just some sort of fishing god who comes and goes through this world as he pleases.

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

in fairness i do tend to leave a big mess behind me, it is an easy trail to follow of pizza crusts

[@pter7531]

Watching your videos the word "benchmark" comes to mind. Thanks for sharing.

[@simonm7909]

Excellent video once again. Always a treat when you post something new

[@northshoreproductions3787]

Love this and so happy to have discovered your channel. 2 of my favourite things in one 'reduce, reuse, recycle' (counts as one thing 😂) and fishing. ❤

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

i history with junk, most people look at fancy cars but it is the full skips on the side of the road that normally catches my eye, thanks glad you enjoyed it

[@Luisfelipebethbff]

Hey Paul, you are a wizard of fishing, great as always.

[@LunkerFishing]

Every day I check to see if you have a new video out. I am just amazed at the things you come up with and how you get things done. Keep the videos coming.

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

thanks

[@survivalmike]

ingenious Paul. Absolutely brilliant. Thx for sharing. Cheers, Mike

[@TheAudiostud]

Another cracking production Paul, well done fella 10/10

[@davidharvey5672]

This is brilliant, ans so me lol. I make stuff like this and will definately be trying this. Thanks Paul. Most of my floats are variations of milkshake drinking straws with 12mm of pea stick in each end.

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

had some fun with this, hope it works for you cheers

[@SolarfallBaits]

great idea using a sharpie as a feeder float, might have to give it a shot too

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

best days fishing for long while

[@fredrik4672]

Your videos are allwas great fun to watch

[@MojoTheKillerMonkey]

I love this channel so much! Thank you for making my day!

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

cheers

[@20alphabet]

We've been doing this in China for years. Nice music... kinda like the background music pharmaceutical companies use when the legal disclaimer is read at the end of the commercial.

[@brezi7782]

The fish "latin" names made my day as well ! Fantastic like your video! Must make more pal! :D)

[@gavinoconnell6600]

Congratulations on 100k!

[@royalemperor2845]

awesome idea and video. could you make separate full length fishing trip videos with your creations? I would love to see more of the feeder float.

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

might be an idea, it is just very difficult to film in these places, I had gang of kids with a bag weed turn up and starting bottles in the water, i used a few adult words but ended having leave early

[@SplishSplashFishing]

Fantastic idea - Perfectly filmed. Seems that you have returned to a coarsefishing period again. Makes me wanna grab my match rods and hurry to the pond :-)

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

I am doing a bit of everything at the moment as car trouble is preventing me travelling to some good pike waters. To be honest this was one best relaxing afternoons fishing I have had in a long while I lost count of how many fish i caught but nothing of any size. I have just got back from carp fishing catching some slightly bigger fish.

[@SplishSplashFishing]

I really is relaxing, and every time i see other do it, I miss the times where I would spend the last few hours of sunlight catching tench and carp

[@vinfish4697]

Nice simple tutorial!!!🎣

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

cheers

[@BasicFishingNZ]

haha awesome idea. really enjoyed watching this video

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

thanks

[@LondonPredatorAngler]

that is the madness thing I have ever seen lol, you come up with some things lol

[@TrensdePesca]

Muito boa a ideia da ceva viva na bóia!

[@nicholasalexander2074]

Nice, though it's better to mix the maggots with the ground bait as they release the scent into the water when they wiggle out

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

i would of done that as do it with ordinary feeders but the tube is a lot smaller than a standard feeder so it is much easier to load just maggots and the ground bait in the bottom generally comes out of its own accord

[@ratdog3055]

Feeder and float all in one. Where do you come up with these ideas? Great job!

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

the feeder float is not a new idea or mine just the using a sharpie, and feeder float you buy tend to be very large and would make my tiny fish look even smaller, thanks

[@NsPsNiiPeS]

sharpies would make a great pike float now I just got to figure it out

[@CB-xr1eg]

Slow down the video speed.

[@sandorpecsora2434]

Great idea!!! Thank you!

[@markrayton6385]

Excellent idea. Where do you get the 3 gram drilled weights ? Cheers.

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

my local tackle shop, or online

[@markrayton6385]

The Handmade Fisherman nice one thanks for that.

[@Aster321]

What is that white stuff in the water? Some kind of worm / larva? I've seen that before somewhere and it looks nasty...

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

it is algae, it is very light green the camera just plays trick under water

[@liloiul]

The fish "latin" names made my day. Good job with your videos mate. I watch them as they come or when i find some time but usually don't post on them. We have a word, if you have nothing to say, better shut up, but as I said, the names made me laugh. :))

[@martinebbatson5462]

Another great video thank you

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

cheers

[@jimmyreuben6919]

Could you do some vids on making floats from different materials. Don't seem to sell floats in NZ, get funny looks when you ask for floats. Stick, waggler anything would be handy for me to learn. Thanks

[@CB-xr1eg]

ebay.

[@hodge726]

That is great..👍👍👍

[@piaoliang5467]

beautiful. Although, floats on ebay are cheaper than sharpies :)

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]
