If you have ever been somewhere and found yourself wishing you had a way to fish, one solution is to build a compact fishing kit that can be stored in your vehicle and will take up very little room. For this project you will need a sharp knife, scissors, two sports drink bottles, an expired credit/debit/gift card, super glue and of course hooks, fishing line and sinkers.
The video below shows the process to build a compact fishing kit.
The steps involved are quite simple.
- Cut the tops off of both bottles just underneath the rim that sticks out below the cap and ring.
- Cut the ring off one of the bottle tops.
- Trace around one of the tops onto the old gift/credit/debit card.
- Cut a circle out of the card following the line that was traced.
- Glue both bottle tops to the plastic circle that was cut from the card (one on each side)
- Place hooks in one side and replace the cap.
- Place sinkers in the opposite side and replace the cap. (Placing the sinkers in the side that the ring was removed from in step two works out best.)
- Wrap fishing line around the open space where the ring was removed. (Wrap the line in a clockwise direction.)
- Attach a sinker to the end of the fishing line, remove the cap and place the sinker and the end of the line inside.
- Screw the cap back on. (The sinker on the end of the line will prevent the fishing line from escaping and unraveling.)
- Your compact fishing kit is complete.
