TINY BAIT CANNON! Will it Work?! HOW FAR CAN IT CAST??

[@VentureWelding]

I've build these 20 years ago as tennis ball launcher. Word to the wise, SCH 40 is much safer repeated use if you stay within 100-120 psi MAX. This is why that bait cannon was ultimately released using a metal chamber.

[@TheRocket555]

Could they explode?

[@hanelyp1]

@@TheRocket555 yes, PVC can explode, producing shrapnel that the doctors may have a hard time finding to remove.

[@meatthecookk.2227]

I need one of these in my life! Thanks for sharing the process on how to build one!

[@TheWayWeHunt]

Best bait cannon builder we know! Thanks! Keep killin' it!

[@pacman4568]

I saw another bait cannon video where they used paper towel or toilet paper loaded into the barrel first to make a seal and the bait was not frozen. a rubber washer sandwiched between two pieces of plastic to make the seal in the tube launcher, you can attach the underside of the plastic seal to the inside of the launcher tube so you don't lose it when launching. You can put two screws into each joint side to help hold it all together.

[@heathenfirewoodservice2021]

Could this be used to launch lures? I’m interested in trying to do shore fishing but I don’t do any bait fishing just lures or flies.

[@badboy2859]

So mr woods to table can I make a suggestion it’ll increase your chances of landing a fish when you use your bait cannon whenever you got leftover bait fish frames fish guns anything really you wanna put it all in a. Big blender and maybe even mix in a little fish oil too then with that super blended stuff you use that in place of water for your bait mold as when it melts it creates a big oily smelly slick in the water that attracts all the fish to your main bait

[@Masontruth]

As I shared below, we are amateurs. Thus, learning, as we go I heard read about using some type of fish oil, but your idea is fantastic. We always have extra bait and often. The fish gets mushy, which will be a big help here.Thank you very much sir

[@unorec1983]

Dewalt 60v 2 gallon air compressor is you life saver. I drag mine deep in the woods to build deer stands. Nice and light

[@dennistennyson8856]

What is e pressure that you pump up to ?

[@Masontruth]

Thank you. We have two, one a shortie as in the one in this video and one long one. We are amateurs and this video as d comments were very helpful.

[@VentureWelding]

You can also build these using a sprinkler valve tapped with a air blaster gun, as your trigger which moves the diaphram inside the valve causing the chamber to release the air.

[@TheBrushcutter]

Exactly!

[@billanderson2217]

Suggestion: Use a scuba tank with regulator for quick effortless filling. Use the regulator low pressure port and BCD inflator attachment. The LP port delivers 110 to 140 psi and can be adjusted to your preference. Push button start stop operation. An 80 cuft scuba tank will deliver dozens of surf cannon fills. Get rid of that bicycle pump unless you really like the workout. 😂😂

[@syedibrahim6991]

Can u teach us on the rigs to connect the main line n mold bait?

[@jessewalker7735]

Did you get any air leakage from the ball valve mechanism?

[@fokneus]

Hi there . I love your design and are keen to have a crack at building one but I'm in New Zealand so our measurements are slightly different. I have a question around your barrel . It's only 1.5 inches in diameter right and 2/3 feet long, right? Why so thin? 1.5 is tiny . Does the thinner barrel give you further distance or is it just to house the bait assembly? Thanks.

[@jcnz9861]

I'm on Waiheke. Did you try this?

[@fokneus]

@@jcnz9861 yes I did works great. Not as powerful as his but powerful enough to get the bait out in the deeper water.

[@S.Turner]

Mr. Turner Greetings. I have built a bait cannon off your smaller design and plan on using it soon at Carolina Beach. However, it never occurred to me the legality of it until recently. I think I heard you say once that you are in North Carolina and so am I. Are there any issues I you have come across I should know about prior to my first use? Thanks

[@livingzombz]

What is that metal part you guys screwed with the pliers? Also what does it do?

[@Woods2Table]

A little “keeper” (tension) screw. It helps hold the barrel in place.

[@livingzombz]

@@Woods2Table thanks mate 👍

[@samueldevilliers3188]

Hey, Is there a way to do it without freeezing the bait into tubes- to rig up your bait and then load it up while having great range ?

[@Woods2Table]

There are a few options - check out this video where we test them out! BEFORE YOU FREEZE Your Bait Mold, WATCH THIS! Bait Launcher Baits - Alternate Bait Cannon Bait Ideas kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKLHp4GbltSZZ9k

[@TheBrushcutter]

Try a lawn sprinkler valve for the trigger.

[@tornadochii1992]

What kind of fishing poles ?

[@edwardflores3433]

What did you to hold the barrel on?

[@Dirtyfish_22]

Do you just rig the bait as normal just freeze it and drop it in the tube and blast away

[@kf4293]

Add a pressure gauge. Then use a co² bike tire filler. Probably want the 25g co² cartridges, but experiment to see what brings you up to pressure without waste. No more pumping. 😁 Warning ⚠️ ☠️!! Fill slowly 🐌!! You don't want to freeze the PVC, and make it brittle. You could also use a PCP air tank from paint ball. With the regulator, it would charge the system to the desired PSI, and no more. They're essentially a tiny scuba tank, various sizes.

[@isaiasjustiniano6950]

Hey guy’s and gals what’s the best way to add the thumb screw to hold the tip

[@billygardner8630]

I just built it! What is that metal piece that you have on it?

[@Woods2Table]

Only things I can think of are the air valve and the keeper screw that helps hold the barrel in place. Great job on the build! Best of luck on the shore.

[@billygardner8630]

Thanks did u thaw out the ice

[@brendachaisson4942]

What paint did you use to paint the cannon?

[@justanotheruser101]

Who cares

[@johnnycuebas8439]

Awesome canon....thanks for sharing this video 😊

[@Jeff67081]

how to do you know if the ball valve is female sided

[@charlesstewart7774]

You should try installing a handle on the ball value to release the air faster for more distance. By the way I used your videos to make my cannon thanks for the reference. But i did screw the barrel into the ball valve.

[@djsherm776]

How do you thread in a gauge without it leaking around PVC

[@TheBrushcutter]

You should really use metal pipe or a fire extinguisher can for the pressure tank. I've used both and they work equally well.

[@tmpsg]

Get a Jackery® charge Station and use a small airbrush compressor to charge the chamber instead of breaking your back pumping that hand pump.

[@nathannash5377]

My cannon keeps busting at the seams, fix?

[@rayray3429]

Jus 3:40 jus built mine n trying it out tonite at the lake lol

[@joshears2003]

What would happen if you use a bigger barrel? I know Chillicothe changes but what if you also increase the tank

[@annalouisecruzbosch6785]

the size of the bit that you use

[@derrickbaker5054]

Milwaukee m12 air compressor would fill you to 120 in minutes multiple times. Light and easy to carry

[@robert5770]

Please understand I am asking this out of my own ignorance. Does that extra difference catch more fish? Does putting the bait twice as far out really matter?

[@degfamily2815]

Use a paintball air tank those things handle 3000 psi. You can pressurize it very slowly and still get 120 psi in about five seconds. Before you decide to do this pvc doesn’t handle air pressure well. Over time stress fractures will come. Use 2 inch metal pipe put 200 psi and good to go

[@ruthdoyle9085]

Use a bead blaster tank instead...and get a quality battery powered air pump...you can use a 2” barrel so you can get a whole (small) fish in the barrel...and you can use a 10’ barrel...I use scuba tanks...

[@joeseleb3509]

Also have you guys considered using drones?

[@saltire546]

I use a drone and its magic .

[@zeurn715]

I was going to reply that they are illegal in NC. Turns out I was wrong. You can spot and drop bait with a drone. "§ 14‑401.24. Unlawful possession and use of unmanned aircraft systems. (a) It shall be a Class E felony for any person to possess or use an unmanned aircraft or unmanned aircraft system that has a weapon attached. (b) It shall be a Class 1 misdemeanor for any person to fish or to hunt using an unmanned aircraft system. (c) The following definitions apply to this section: (1) To fish. - As defined in G.S. 113‑130, except when an unmanned aircraft or unmanned aircraft system is used during, immediately preparatory to, or immediately subsequent to the taking of fish for (i) spotting; locating; recording, broadcasting, or streaming video of fish; or (ii) deploying bait. "

[@Gumiyani]

Perfect trick👍😁

[@dennistennyson8856]

150 psi with hand pumps ! Awesome ! Forget my previous question.

[@gaspardtoulouse4172]

Video was helpful Spending a bit more time and money on better part,size and and I should have a sick bait launcher

[@TheWayWeHunt]

Lovin' that shirt ya'll!

[@TheCdrbaby]

Use ABS please 🙏 pvc degrades very fast in the sun and shatters if malfunction.

[@i_am_wi11_]

How much you used schedule 40? And not 80

[@i_am_wi11_]

How much does this cost

[@DonaldRicketts1]

do yo sell bait cannon

[@BATMANISINTHEHOUSE]

Get a car jump starter, air compressor combo. You can also charge your phone while you're out there.

[@frankthetank1369]

Ryobi makes a tire inflator.

[@maha-go6gu]

Ho meters?

[@snuball65]

What do you do when you assemble the whole thing and then find a leak during the pressure test? How do you fix the leak?

[@jamesmills672]

What is wrong with a electric pump

[@Woods2Table]

Nothing wrong with one per se, I just haven’t come across one strong enough to fill the tank repeatedly to a high enough pressure to suit me. I’ve tested a bunch of them.

[@jonathanlapointe6262]

Is it really a lot less work? that pumping up of the baitcannon seems like quite a bit of work. Still cool. Make a Pepsi and Mentos powered one or baking soda and vinegar would be cheaper or better still a gun powdered one!!

[@andreasfischer5362]

question? are those bait cannons legal or are they potato cannons?

[@davymaclean8481]

Why don't you get an empty gas canister (Propane to you lot at the other side of the pond, and modify it so it can be charged off an air compressor and used as a portable refill rather than spend ages pumping it up, bit big this example but you get the idea, here in the UK we have small ones about 4.5kg size kzbin.info/www/bejne/qX2amIiop6tkq6s

[@frankthetank1369]

Potato gun.😅

[@michaelleone5509]

Ryobi 16v portable air pump more better

[@godfreytlhapane4066]

where are going to keep bait frozen if one is fishing the entire day? far from home

[@Woods2Table]

You could use a layer of dry ice in the bottom of the cooler near the bait, and cardboard to separate it from everything else. All day would be challenging though.

[@mikeytello2878]

I know it’s an old video so you probably might not see this comment but I’d like to say that your math is slightly off because it’s pounds per square inch so having less pressure and the larger cannon could technically mean you had more pressure overall

[@rhysbertrand8903]

More air volume. Bit different.

[@rmorales2811]

What type of line are you using on the reel?
