Spring Pole - Automatic Survival Fishing

In this video I show how to set up a fishing pole set up that catches the fish for you. This kind of fishing set up frees up your time to do other survival tasks. Some people may know this as a "twitch up".

[@cjstumblehome9232]

Lost my Dad when I was young. I’m told he was a real good fisherman, I hope I can become as good as he was but it’s tough trying to figure it out for yourself. Thanks for making videos like these.

[@pejutahaspa]

all the ungrateful comments are disturbing! Thanks brother for trading the time to share the great video.

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

Thank you for your comments and support.

[@timothymartini9969]

Thanks for the tip-very informative.A survival technique indeed if we get left out in the woods at anytime.

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

Thank you for watching, John.

[@TheRunereaper]

I've always thought that there are better things to do than waste time fishing when you are up against it. That said, there's nothing wrong with fishing while you're sleeping and I like this as a development of that idea. It's a good proposition John and I'll have to practise this one, although I'd like to have more hooks in the water to reduce the chances of breakfast escaping. Thanks for posting

[@jtarryohpengyew8173]

Thanks for sharing. Simple and easy, no fancy material needed. Good video

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

Thank you for your kind words.

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

I ordered mine from wallace cordage company. It is the tarred nylon twine, I like the size #15, it has a tensile strength of 120lbs. I ordered spools that are 1410 feet, and I think they are about $15 a spool. They have every size and strength you might want, But this size works well for me. And if it's not enough I use paracord. Thank you for your comments and questions, John.

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

A rubber band would work if it's sturdy enough. Glad to hear you are better and ready to get out there! Thank you for your comments David, John.

[@Loveoftheoutdoors]

Awesome vid. I was waiting for it to go off. No doubt it will work. I like that trigger-system too. There are a few others I've seen but this one is one of the most-sensitive. Very nice to know others for different scenarios/materials-at-hand. Thanks for taking the time.

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

Thank you very much for your kind words and support, John.

[@TheCSFriendly]

I saw a version of this trap that was much more dangerous to set up. I like yours better because of the swivel set up. I intend on trying this for fun next time I go camping. Thanks!

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

+Derek Crist Good luck and have fun with it. Thank you for your comments.

[@cmcclellan9721]

Went thru the comments before adding my own. My apologies for the people who cannot seem to understand you're just offering a technique to catch fish using mostly material in your location. Guess they haven't yet figured out the difference between a TEACHING TECHNIQUE video and a regular "fishing trip" video. I for one appreciate the time you took to show this setup. I don't normally fish without my pole, but I love to try different things out for fun. Gonna try this on my next outing. Thanks brother!!!

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

Same theory, But with the trigger stick and having the pole bent down you get a hook set when the fish pulls on it. Thank you for your comments, John.

[@Gonzo3780]

I have something similar to this I use for Icefishing but it called a tip down...It sets the hook once the fish starts to take the line out...Pretty neat and lets you fish more than one hole at a time...Neat idea for what you had to work with...

[@oldtimerlee8820]

Looks like a big improvment over the cane poles, line & bobbers, we used as when I was a kid. Shoved the end of the pole in a river bank. Left lines out at night with hopes of finding catfish on them in the morning.

[@danawright3099]

Thanks for sharing the details of the fishing rig. I look forward to using that. Great idea.

[@riverrat2993]

ive been doing this for about 20 or more years. works great. some things to help. lets say you have other tasks at hand and you cant watch your spring poles.you can tie on shells to your line that will rattle when you have a bite.so you hear it.

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

+River rat Thank you for watching and for your comments.

[@dulin4799]

good thing you tell everyone yoyo reels are too cumbersome and your "kit" would easily hold a couple even with the stuff in the bag already. .... what a genius

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

+Anthony Dulin You would need to understand IMO a pack or bag is not a survival kit at all. A PSK should be compact, lightweight, preferably attached to your person, and separate from any pack or bag you may or may not also have. So, while there is room for gear or gadgets in your pack.. there is not that room for them in a good PSK. Besides, I brought some stuff out in a small bag just to show this video.. All the items I used to make this are in my True Survival Bracelet on my wrist! Can you fit a yoyo reel in your bracelet? You may be better off to be less critical of how people present things and more open to learn something new. Thank you for watching.

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

Good to know for sure. There are different ways that a person could fish without actually spending the time fishing, And different ways to set up this same style of spring pole. But, I like this one, because when it is tripped there is no toggle stick or anything attached to your line. Just so happens, the items I used are in my Bracelets and Keychains, John.

[@ollieberry6130]

Nice setup, good looking water, hope you caught something decent. Thanks for showing!

[@thedarkchild86]

Survival skill are lacking with most people ... thanks for the info ...keep video coming

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

thedarkchild86 Thank you for your kind words and support.

[@staceycobrien7706]

I've never seen this method before. Thank you for explaining it so well!

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

This is very true for small fish! I believe I said this in my "how to make a fishing kit and why" video. And why my survival fishing kits have four red hooks in them. I have caught fish on a bare hook many times! Thank you for your comments, John.

[@Declan1205]

Legend has it, til this day, still set up.

[@erinowl4407]

Thank you so much for the tutorial. I will add it to my skill set. Very much appreciated.

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

Thank you for watching, John.

[@tonybright7897]

hey John, great setup! it takes a little time to set these up but another point in survival is keeping yourself occupied, and this is one of many good ways to do it. Thanks for sharing brother, subbed ya. atb. Tony

[@staceycobrien7706]

I've seen so many people who know only one kind of trap or one method of fishing, and that's all they try. In a real survival situation, you should try every kind of trap or fishing setup you can, because what works in one places may or may not work in another.

[@garybiggs9010]

Great vid. The principle is very valid. I do not think there is enough length of pole whip travel to take out that much slack and set the hook. The length of the pole should be greater to allow more whip & travel. Of course everything has to be tailored for the fish. Fishing the deeper muddy rivers of the plains for cats I'd use a hedge pole 12 - 14' long set at about 60 degree. The base being around 2-1/2" and tip at 1/2". Line tied to the tip + 1/3 down from tip for safety. This would probably result in 4-5' of tip travel to pull the slack and set the hook. Also do a bipod support for the pole.

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

Thank you for your comments! If I were to fish like this with only what I have... I always have the items I used in this video, as they are the same items in my True Survival Bracelet! A primitive bone hook wouldn't work as well on this set up as it wouldn't have a proper barb on the hook... In other words if you left it unattended the fish would get off the hook, John.

[@Robert31352]

I am thinking the best way to tie the pole to the forked stick would be a shoelace knot so that when you want to pick the pole up you do not have to cut the line or pull up the forked stick. I have not read all of the comments, so I do not know if someone else mentioned this. I really liked the video and am subscribing. I saw the Kbar on your belt. If you are a Marine, Semper Fi.

[@JustInCases72]

very beautiful location, I will have to try this method

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

Thanks for watching and commenting. Hope you enjoy it and have fun.

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

Haha... Thank you Carol. Cut myself processing the frog... In the video before this one! Cool deal, and thanks as always for watching, John.

[@UltimaCaute]

As shown - it is a nice way to catch yourself. You should set the bait BEFORE you rig the trigger.

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

I would have to re-watch what I did there to be sure... But, I am pretty sure I had about twelve feet of slack line between the trigger and hook. Even if the trigger set off before tossing the line out... there wouldn't be enough spring travel to set the hook with it still on the bank. You are correct though, safety should always be a top priority. Thank you for your comments, John.

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

Thanks Mark! It's not something that's not already out there... Just a simplified version, I think. Thanks for watching bud, John.

[@heresmokethis]

LOL at all the survivalist haters. I think this is a really cool idea, with some personal touches on it to make it work. A little drawn out, but isn't boredom one of the things that must be overcome? Whatever... haters gonna hate. Interesting video, man. I'm going to mess around with the concepts next time I'm "out of cell range" for sure...

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

Thank you for your comments, John.

[@urbanstruggle2132]

You should watch this with closed captions on. it will blow your mind!

[@awalker1328]

Thanks for that! Super funny lol

[@awalker1328]

15:28 disney porn at the bay lol

[@SpectrumSurvivalist]

+Urban Struggle I laughed so hard, thanks for that. My kid was to big, he ate too damn much, left him behind. If this guy was an Indian, I would of died laughing. "Usually like to go 7 or 8 times with the Mohawk over, and then she did take him little tiny, pilot that, makes the 2 piece wine, do any fish in, probably already know that my weeding is in the wind, we are tying knots. twice stuck in my mouth, the number come up a bell. 6 or 8 inches above the hook, put a couple of split shots on. Squeezing down with my teeth.""Just pulling back up for a second, showing in idea, where I need to do it. I have another stick, while Wyoming and I are going to take this dick! You, bush it into the ground, to a point where I can take this dick, on my swivel. Barely put it in the ground. My right underneath their GFS branches sticks out of his wife. OK, make sure you guys can see that, I have the white stick."

[@asheradog474]

[@quercus4730]

It will work. Why not try a longer y stick on the front end of the pole set it easy. No need for the swivel and one less stick. Thanks for the video.

+topcatskk Thank you for your comments and support Tom.

[@timcooke8627]

Hope to see a video of this catching one day? I cant wait to try it for myself. Thanks for posting.

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

I plan to do this set up again and show it catching fish for sure. Thank you for your comments, John.

[@mrbluenun]

Hi and thanks for your reply. I never thought about that fishing with what one can find and I never knew about your bracelet so I have found your videos I will be check stuff of yours and take a look at your bracelet, thanks again. Take care. mrbluenun

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

Lol, I don't think I better do that... Thank you for watching, John.

[@mrbluenun]

Looks like the perfect day for catching fish in one of the best fishing areas from what I can view I would judge it as that anyway. Following the line and various parts with the camera made it clear thanks. Have you ever tried to fish like this with zero fishing equipment on you, you know just stuff from the woods and in the ground and whatever you might find like small bones to use as a hook?

[@JamesParker-qv6bg]

pretty cool stuff. I'll do this with my kids for fun.

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

Have fun with it. Thank you for watching.

[@vancouverbc69]

Include bait elastic line in any survival fishing kit boys and girls, its amazing. After you got your bait on your hook, just a few loops around it with the elastic line, it will stay on for a LONG time, even multiple catches. I started using it for oolichans (Small fish) while fishing for sturgeon, the fish gets soft , and after a tug or two, it would pop right off the hook , the elastic line prevents that, will keep it on there all night.

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

Very true! A small piece of mess works well to hold soft baits together also. We used to fish sturgeon with shrimp inside a piece of mesh and tied into a small sack. Thank you for your comments, John.

[@runulfrraui6602]

to use a splitcaine flyrod there must be a dream. i live by a river just like this in Norway. Trysilriver. we mostly get grayling and brown trout there. you can get bas some places and huge pike other places. i even got an artic char there once. those dont live in the river, but in a lake about 55 km further up. i used to work as a fishing guide in the summer. sled dogs in the winter, and on a mountainlake i use nearly the same method as you use here. works fine. so keep up the good work. to sad most youngsters are to addicted to computer games and other stuff these days though.

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

I love fly fishing, very relaxing sport! I hope to get to some fishing videos in the future. There is a lot of good kids out there being raised right. Along with technology and devices... A big problem with todays kids is that most parents have to work so hard just to make ends meet. I tip my hat to any parents that make time to get their kids outdoors! Thank you for your comments, John.

@Steven IsBornAgain: BINGO!!! Funny how it works that way. ;-)

[@jonathan91595]

I remember using coke bottles when i first started to fish not the best pole but it was light and it worked.what you do is take your string n wrap it around the bottle.cast your line then get a Y shaped branch and put it in th ground using the y part to hold the coke bottle.you can also kinda use them as a bobber i suppose thanks jl to john

[@TheGazramar]

wow look at that background. So beautiful.

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

This is a pretty nice area, Not my favorite though! Keep watching, and one of these days I will make it to some of my favorite spots. Thank you Uriah, John.

[@nickdunbar2967]

It would be interesting for me to know where you are exactly and what're species there are to catch there

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

This is a river in SW Oregon, mostly just trout in this water. Thanks for watching.

Thank you for watching.

[@RustyNail5856]

your welcome.

[@user-vu1nc1bb4b]

Video of a fascinating and utilitarian adjunct for catching fish without having to use up time and calories monitoring the fishing rod. I can image setting up a series of these devices would be especially good in a survival setting. Video would be more viewer friendly and get more likes if everything was ready to go before filming (i.e. camera set up) and if hyper coloured fishing wire was used for the purpose of the demonstration.

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

Thank you for your comments and support! Seems when I pre-setup things too much for a video... people ask more questions about what was done. I try to show everything while not wanting to be too boring, John.

[@user-vu1nc1bb4b]

Interesting video. Thanks a lot

[@mikestame]

Nice video, interesting, good explanations.

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

Thank you for your comment, John.

[@jondow4638]

You should try making it a little more simple my family has been doing something like this as far back as I can remember.We would tie the line on end of main pole and stab pole in ground then stab a 2nd pole just in front of it closer to water.Then pull main pole down to 2nd pole and make 2 small notches in them so they just hang on each other so when fish bumps pole will come lose and set hook.When doing it this way you will see that you will not have that slack or loop in string from tip of pole to hook like you do with the trigger being under your pole like you have.String will be straight out from tip of pole.

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

I completely understand what you are saying, just don't see how a second pole and notching just right is easier than putting a stick through a swivel? Thank you for your comments, John.

[@LivingArtsCo]

Very nice, but if you cannot grab a yoyo, you will not have a lg ziploc w just fish tackle either...Agorge hook, simplest primitive hook you can make work great so does a locust thorn hook. The gorge hook works great with this setup.

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

Thank you for your comment and support, John.

[@bryanbeemer8405]

I have heard that fish will sometimes bite on a red colored hook with no bait so I use only red hooks in my kits. Also I often hear that lures with red on them work better, so the red hook thing seems to have some creditability.

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

Thank you! I had some tackle in the bag for making the video sake, but all the items I used are the same items in my True Survival Bracelet! So, I would always have the items and not have to make a hook. Thank you for watching and your comments, John.

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

The more tricks a person knows the better! In fact I have taken my knowledge of different traps and combined some different ideas to come up with something different, I will be showing it soon. Thank you for your comments, John.

[@Peebsfosho1]

I am looking for it to be a less bulky less expensive alternative to paracord. Thanks for the response and info!

[@Csmithairsoft8137]

next time put the stick that holds the tiny trigger stick facing the line in the water so that when the fish bites the line doesnt get hooked under the downwards facing y stick and doesnt get worn down and snap

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

The way the stick is through the swivel, the stick will often stay in the swivel. There really was no way for it to get hung up with water 180 degree from the set. The only way to get hung with this is to pull it directly towards the stick in the ground. Thank you for your comments, John.

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

Could have been bud! Thank you for your reply, John.

[@marycahill546]

Too complicated for me, but wonderful to watch and looks like it would work. I guess I better concentrate on signaling as I can't survival fish worth a darn!

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

It's not too hard to set up. Pretty simple trigger system with an almost normal fishing set up. Thank you for your comments, John.

[@glesgason]

most women have that problem,thats why we were the hunters,women foraged for roots,berries took care of children,more men are colour blind than women probobly for that reason

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

Awesome, Thank you for your support! Welcome to the channel and I hope you enjoy it, John.

[@muskie1976]

i never see survivor videos with someone mentioning that digging for worms is probably the best and easiest sort of bait to find in the wild.

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

Finding worms or bugs for bait is a great option for sure. But, it's not always easy or even a possibility to do that. Thank you for your comments, John.

[@staceycobrien7706]

In many places in the world, you can dig to your heart's content and never see a single earthworm. They're not native to everywhere and the ones in the USA aren't even native to begin with. so... other options like fruit, frogs, grubs, crickets, termites, etc. are more viable in most cases.

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

Hello to Germany! And thank you for your comments, John.

[@nancyrodenberg5269]

if you made your y pole a lil longer and angle it away from the water less chance on bigger fish pulling the whole set up over but good stuff bub knowledge is power and if your in survival mode this doubles your chances on hook set limb/bank lines are not 100%.

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

For sure. Thank you for your comments and for watching.

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

No part two... I had to leave the river soon after making this video and didn't have time to show it catching a fish. Thank you for watching, John.

[@allenjames8713]

[@Uintaman7]

I caught 3 fish while watching this video, with a willow rod, 15 feet of line and a worm cut into 3 pieces.

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

[@PineMountainVentures]

Great idea, what size swivel do you usually keep in that big baggie of stuff?

[@dab2871]

nice video new for me. how about a rubber band on the Y holding the rod but I will try next year it's been ten years but I think I'm ready to go back out in the trails. I had broke my back and will try this for sure.

[@jjamesjr87]

Very cool video. Although, being a survivalists, wouldn't you keep your shoes tied securely and snuggly and not just wearing your shoes as "slip-ons"?

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

These shoes fit in a manner that I could run full speed and never worry about losing a shoe with them not tied. Not trying to be argue, but if I went barefoot would that be better? By that I mean... Would you question Cody Lundin's mindset or skills for not wearing shoes at all? Thank you for your comments and question, John.

[@Patriotalliance]

Nice setup..Thanks

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

Thank you, John.

[@Les__Mack]

Thanks for a great video! However, I would really reconsider using your mouth to close those lead weights. Not healthy. Of course if they aren't made of lead, then never mind.

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

+Les Mack Yes, I know.. old habits die hard. I would say though there are many things we are told not to do that have been done much longer than we have lived, by people that have had long lives. Such as "don't drink from a garden hose".. Thank you for watching and for your comments.

[@tedpeterson8842]

Hey just wanted to say THANKS for the great video! had a quick question. is there a way to compensate for a stronger water current. i live near some big rivers and even the streams get moving pretty fast in the spring thaw. Can't wait to try this out this summer! Thanks again!

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

+Ted Peterson This is going to work best in slow current or still water. It could be done in faster current, but would require more weight and increase the chance of getting hung up or your bait ending up too close to the bank. Thank you much for your comments and question.

[@kickingbird6114]

Thanks for the video.

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

You bet! Thank you for watching, John.

[@parrotbill]

Is that a survival band-aid on your finger too? My feelings are that you don't rig up a fishing pole and walk away from it if you want to catch your dinner. If you do, then you are not all that hungry. Fishing is a hands-on sort of thing...I mean if you're serious about catching dinner.

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

+Parrot Bill If this is set in this manner it will most certainly catch the fish for you. You have to understand in a real survival situation a persons survival depends on many tasks and the time spent to sit there and fish may not be an option.. unless you would rather have a leaky shelter, un-treated water, or not enough wood piled up to get through the night? Not to mention while it fishes for you, you could easily go set 20 more traps or snares and greatly increase ones odds of eating sooner.Thank you for watching.

[@jsimo1431]

That's pretty cool. I'm assuming this technique would also be great for a snare?

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

+J Simo Absolutely, it's called a spring pole snare. I have videos on it, or there are plenty of others on youtube as well. Thank you for watching.

[@Peebsfosho1]

(Damn ipad) AWESOME! I see that bank line in a lot of your videos it seems like a life saver, do you mind if I ask where you get yours so cheap and what size it is? Thanks!

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

Thank you for your comments! More coming soon bud, John.

[@williamperrin2880]

Man I saw some pretty interesting Walmart Crawfish (craw dad) traps for the the first time at my local Walmart yesterday my first thought was BOOYAH!! Well designed too. Stake out fishing rocks no matter how you do it or where it's at or even what you're aiming at to catch. Those little traps weren't more than maybe $12 per trap. I know I'll go back and grab a few at some point. This video is a excellent (what if) video for stake out fishing no matter what nay sayers have to say. Awesome video bro. Love it!!!! And for all of you assholes who say stake out fishing can't be done above the water line.... you have no clue. This video is in a stream so I'm guessing trout ; ) the stake out works... add a gorge hook and it works all the more... Awesome video. Add a tree over hanging the stream and a toggle trigger and BOOYAH!!!! Love this video.... and for the rest of you..... you're only limited by your own knowledge.

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

+William Perrin I have some good crawdad trapping videos, including a GoPro mounted inside the trap video, lots of fun and tasty. Thank you for your comments.

would have been cool to see if it worked...., pretty cool either way, thanks.

[@CommonSenseOutdoors]

Thank you for your comments and for watching, John.

[@richardpeterson3753]

first, if doing this, the main pole needs to be secured. second, learn one good 100% non slip knot and use it no matter what size fish you see. never know when a rogue big boy is gonna hit your hook. don't risk loosening tackle over being lazy. if your depending on this to put food on your plate, you would be mad as fuck if that knot slipped. not to mention hungry. these need to be able to be made and set in large numbers quickly, so simplify the design.
