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".

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

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.

+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.

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.

@garybiggs90106 жыл бұрын
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.
@CommonSenseOutdoors11 жыл бұрын
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.
@Robert313529 жыл бұрын
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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

+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.

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.
