Tying Fishing Files With a Drill, How to Tie a Teaser Fly Cheap

How to tie a fly for fishing using a cordless drill. In this video I am using cheap materials for tying a teaser to use for catching Pompano. This is a very affordable and easy way to make your own lures without purchasing special clamps, thread spools or other devices used to tie fishing flies.

I'm sure with some moderate creative input you can create a lot of different fresh and saltwater lures using the materials and method I've introduced in this video. I can see already that an entire new world has opened up here with endless opportunities for making Pompano teasers, jigs, sinking and floating fishing flies.

Great Job JC, been making jigs for years but never thought about using a drill. But I will now

[@RadReelingFishing]

I'm sure with some creativity you could make something that would fit into a drill to hold the jig. Thanks for watching.

[@boz065]

Very very clever technique. I used to tie and make my own poppin’ bugs to fly fish with. I love it. Good stuff!

[@RadReelingFishing]

Thanks for watching. I'm always trying to think of something creative for a video and a way to save a few dollars too. Thanks for commenting.

Using colourful wigs...really bright idea❤

[@tagalong2724]

U r a genius ! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@davidlittle4948]

Love the ingenuity! I’ve held off buying a fly vice due to costs... a drill, on the other hand is multifunctional.😎

[@pamelareichardtmundell3208]

Great idea! Thanks for sharing this. 👍🏻

[@quang4055]

Thank you for saving me some money. Take care and tight lines.

[@JETTIEROCKSFISHINGwithMIKED]

What a great idea.. Awesome content bro

[@RadReelingFishing]

Thanks for watching. Happy New Year!

[@jasondraughon8825]

For extra...extra flare, fold the material you’re trimming off by the eye, back down towards hook and tie down.

[@bobbyg6662]

That is SO simple...I going to make me some for spring time crappies

[@RadReelingFishing]

Please come back and let me know how it worked out.

[@mikedavisclassiccountry8704]

That's awesome JC definitely will be making some of them thanks so much for sharing 👍👍👍

[@RadReelingFishing]

You are welcome. Thank for watching.

[@davemojarra4734]

Brilliant!👍

[@chrisfilippi]

JC, another great vid. Brilliant idea of using drill to spin hook. Best Chris

[@RadReelingFishing]

Thanks for watching Chris. It was a lot of fun trying to come up with a different way of tying these and I like saving a few dollars over the long haul too.

[@capt.toddwalkersonofafish7206]

Looks like a fun project.

[@RadReelingFishing]

I enjoy doing something a little different than the norm every now and then. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@swflKVNC]

HNY and great idea. Never tied my own, but I do have a drill. Thank you.

Nice, I need to try this!

[@RadReelingFishing]

It seems to work for making some ugly teasers.

No Frills Flies with loads of Frills!!! Got to give them a try👍😷👍

*Bet you are gonna have fun making flounder jigs too!*

[@RadReelingFishing]

Now that's an idea, if I could just find a mess of Flounder I'd be very happy.

[@gwddmt1]

@@RadReelingFishing *The inshore grassy edges just at the sand flats areas west of old Curry Creek before hitting Roberts Bay at the Tamiami Bridge used to be good winter flounder fishing but that was 25 year ago... A definition of fantasy is that if it looks like a human and has a tail it is a mermaid... and if talks it is a fisherman* ...gw

[@whome8845]

I have to say, you make excellent videos thanks for sharing all that knowledge, keep up the great work.

[@RadReelingFishing]

You are welcome. What area of the world do you fish?

[@whome8845]

I fish the Long Island sound

[@d.faulkner8210]

nice video JC! good to see a alternative way to get around the high cost of tackle, Tight Lines..

[@RadReelingFishing]

Thanks for watching. Yeah, I tied enough teasers to last a couple of years and saved a few dollars for sure.

[@rdo075]

Nice, Happy New Year

[@1539Mickey]

Hi JC, PERFECT !!!!

[@RadReelingFishing]

It works great for teasers for sure. Thanks.

[@trampster7306]

Good one JC! All you need now is a sewing machine, and before long, we will see your creations on the top Cat walks of the USA! All the best for 2020 to you & yours.

[@RadReelingFishing]

Ha ha... it sounded like a sewing machine for sure. Thanks for watching.

[@brooktrout1477]

I haven’t tied flys in years, love the screw gun method, I’m surprised I haven’t thought about that, I use one every day

[@RadReelingFishing]

Thanks for watching. When creating videos sometimes I have to think outside the normal. I'm just not normally abnormal enough to think of this sort of stuff all the time. Thanks for commenting.

[@BobelPop]

Love the innovation! Do you think on how to add eyes & secure them? Usually people use UV resin or epoxy to do the trick.

[@386fishing5]

I love the idea of making your own teasers. Wonder if this will work for making your own jigs for snook fishing 🎣

[@RadReelingFishing]

Thanks for watching. I don't know.

[@CheeseWater.]

@@RadReelingFishing I’ve never seen a video that deserved a like as much as this video this is the best video ever I’m so glad I found it and I can do it at home thank you ever diy type videos need to buy stuff I got my dads drill and would be a fun hobby and maybe I’ll show the bluegill at the dock something new that they will bite

[@CheeseWater.]

@@RadReelingFishing I just made my first fly using ur trick I don’t have any color so I used a plain color to see if I could do it and I did it so we are gonna check Walmart and get me some color hope I can catch a nice panfish with it

[@olduglyfishingtravel]

JC what kind of line are you using to tie these with? Thanks, awesome idea!

[@klinqzgaming2594]

20 pound braid

[@gordoseven4938]

Could you use a hammer drill and get more movement and action in the fly?

[@RadReelingFishing]

Interesting question. You might have to try that and let me know what you think.

[@1FishinAddict]

Teaser flies work great. Make a bobin out of a bicycle spokes will help you tie alot easier, less waste.

[@RadReelingFishing]

Thanks for the tip. I'll keep an eye out for an old bike rim.

[@baconoirgrape]

I'm on my way out of the door to pick up : some colorful wigs, some super glue, some hooks, some other, colorful fixings! Thanks for the great idea of using a battery powered drill! I'm wondering if these flies will work in fresh water lakes in NY?

[@RadReelingFishing]

Thanks for watching. This new video has many improvements to the idea kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmKnoYyFibh7es0

[@BillaBong1]

I wonder if it will clamp a size 20 to 30 hook?

[@bobbyhouston7881]

Question JC. Can a circle hook be used for this application? If not, please explain. Thanks for all of your tutorials. I’ve learned so much from you videos.

[@RadReelingFishing]

I honestly don't know. Thanks for watching.

[@mikewhidden5356]

That's a fantastic idea JC I just want to know when you're going to start selling them?

[@RadReelingFishing]

There's an idea. I'm not ready to sell physical products yet, too many headaches to deal with when it comes to sales tax collection and reporting. I don't think the profit would be worth it yet. Some day when the channel gets a ton more subscribers I'll add some cool products to the channel. Thanks for watching.

[@jconsolini6286]

Hey JC, Where do you get those Pompano Jigs? Do you make (Pore) you own or purchase them somewhere? I make my own and like the look of that jig. Tight Line

[@RadReelingFishing]

I buy them from different places, some local and some online. Thanks for watching.

[@lfaulk36]

What kinda hooks are using ? I know #2 mustads

[@RadReelingFishing]

Yes you got it! Thanks for watching.

[@b_t_s8792]

Dude that rig is 1 part brilliant and 9 parts terrifying. You know you can get a starter vice plus bobbin for $15 on eBay right? Or use vice grips plus a $3 bobbin, and save yourself a trip to the hospital :/ This is a sub 30 second fly without power tools. And it’ll look better with more control and the right end in the vice :)

[@RadReelingFishing]

Thanks for commenting and sharing a good deal on Ebay. I suppose the drill could work as a vise with the hook turned the traditional way too and a fly tied manually. I like your idea for vice grips. Some grips clamped to a bench would be an alternative as well.

[@travelingjaneatte9220]

where is that marina where you caught those sheep heads?

[@RadReelingFishing]

Thanks for watching and asking. I don't reveal locations out of respect for communities of local anglers.

[@travelingjaneatte9220]

cool ok i was just wondering area not exact location...... i just think on the sw area isnt the same as the other coast that we were used to......

[@rider660r]

You don't need to spend $50 on fly tying equipment. I bought the Colorado 102 Supreme on the Zon (Amazon) for $15 about 3 months ago,a bobbin holder for 2.something....we'll say $3.00, 25 wooden bobbins $5.00 (for different color 40wt sewing threads,5500 yds... NO cotton or other rotting material),Whip finisher $4.50 for a total of a whopping $27.50. You'll also save about half your flashing/hair each time too because you won't have to use as much so you can begin wrapping the thread.

[@RadReelingFishing]

Thanks for taking the time to share your great finds online. I can see how this hobbie could be a lot of fun. If I ever get a fly rod I'll probably make the investment. I think I've tied enough teaser flies to last for five years already. Do you fish freshwater?

[@rider660r]

@@RadReelingFishing I'm actually just starting off tying jigs for Crappie,Bluegill,etc. I don't fly fish,doesn't interest me. I do fish fresh primarily but do fish the surf when I'm there.

[@dangcao8341]

😃

[@johngrimes7510]

Joking of course, if you plan to fly fish you should take some fly tying lessons.

[@RadReelingFishing]

I could see how this might be a new hobby emerging if I fished in freshwater more often. I think I'll just stick to fishing with these ugly teasers I made. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@bradalden8347]

Time to make some buck tail jigs and flair hawks.call them jc specials and sell them for $10.00 apiece.

Fly hooks aren’t bent;P

Amazing how fish will eat ugly cheap flies
