Now I'm going to catch all the fish

Life is Fun when you're fishing for sure! Thanks for the tips!

Great wonderful tip! A couple of little updates for your tips. for tip#1, you want to double wrap the line around the spool. It creates just a little more friction so when the reel is completely unwound, you don't have to fight it to reel back up and it keeps slipping on the spool. For the bucket handle trick, if you carry a Swiss Army knife they usually have a hook on them. That hook is super easy on the hands when carrying the bucket. for braided line trick, you can take a Bic ink pen, pull out the ink cartridge and end cap, stuff the rope end inside and there's a good easy way to push it through. This also works with nylon rope when braiding or making loops...an old Eagle Scout trick. Your coozie/reel trick is great, when you're in a pinch you can also use your nail clippers to clip a small angled cut on the spool and pull the line into it. This is great for those thin spools you keep in your tackle box. the wallet/braided fishing line trick, I cut up my old wallets into about 3-4" strips and keep it in my multitool case. That way I can wrap it around the multitool and wrap my line around that for those really stubborn tree-bass that always steal my lures. For whipping your rods down, a little trick my grandpa taught me. When you get you pole, or when storing them, wipe them down with turtle wax. This will make them 1000% easier to clean later. and it also UV protects them from cracking when left in your truck or car.

genius...keep us smiling...simple technology...thank you.awsome

Women hair braid bands work great as well to keep rods bound together n really good on 2 piece rods. Better than bread ties.

Awesome hacks!! Thanks for sharing!!

You are a wealth of knowledge. I didn't know about the vinegar tip, or the pompano teaser kit. I wish I had known that sooner. Thank you for the video. I'm still impressed with the Dollar tree video.

I love the 1/2 bow knot trick

Vinegar removes slime on fish, before you clean or fillet your fish, soak them in a bucket of water and a cup of vinegar to remove slime.

Short sweet and to the point such great advice ur the man JC

JC, my man... what a video! I grew up just south of Sebastian Inlet. I am 54 years old and have been fishing since I was a kid. What a video! Great info and content. Dude... you just taught me so much. Thank you for all the work you put in. More young people should be paying attention to you! You walk the walk!

Finally a good use for all those coozies laying around, love that idea

Great hacks, thanks so much. I will start using many of them right away.

Awesome thanks for all the tips.

Another great video from JC!!

Amazing tip. Thanks!

Glad to see your subscribers starting to climb.. in my top 5 fishing channels

Great stuff!!! Thank you!

This is awesome you gave me some advice I never new

great useful tips, thank you.

Great tips! 👍🏻

Amazing info!

Great stuff!!!!

Thank you some great tips

I keep a roll of waterproof gauze tape in my line bag to make tag tape for my spools. It does not leave a residue on the line when it is removed and can be reapplied multiple times before it is needed to be replaced. Use the bottom of a ceramic coffee cup over a bowl lip.

Great video!

wow good video thank you buddy

Nice video, with a lot of good tips

I know this is an older video but maybe someone will see this tip to make stropping even better. Get some green buffing compound and apply to the old belt. It will take quite a bit to start but then light occasional refreshing is all that is needed. Harbor Freight carries the compound and it's also available online. Also, in addition to the top edge of car windows, the best sharpener in the kitchen is the bottom of anything ceramic such as a coffee mug.

Washers are great for quick on and off sinkers.

Okay, only half way through so might have more to add later. The pinfish rig you had with the loose sinker. The problem with looping the sinker to the reel is that know you have a dangling hook to catch into things. The bait bucket rig is great but I suggest you go to Walmart or similar store (not a pet store) and get a bottle of the aquarium safe liquid that help protect fish and their slime coat. It's cheaper than other places and does help keep your fish alive. Third, your bucket handle. If you have a dollar tree or just have one lying around, get a pool noodle, those float tubes of sytrofoam, and cut a length you want and tape it. Noodles are also great to hook lures onto and to use as corks for surprising heavy things.

Great tips...have been using some already but you had some new to me as well...thank you for sharing....on sharpening knives...another one you may want to use or share is a ceramic coffee mug, turn it up side down and the rim is perfect for sharpening your knives.🎣

Very helpful!! Thanks JC! Keep it up

Nice hacks !!!!!!

Rubbing your knife across the bottom of a ceramic coffee cups sharpens as well.

Leather, by itself, does little to hone a blade. The pro straps have all been "charged". That means that a metal polish has been massaged into the leather. I use the Harbor Freight stainless steel compound. It's cheap, easy to find, and does a great job. Try it. You'll thank me. It will give you a mirror bright edge.

Its the make up of the fluorocarbon that makes it slick. 2

I am a disabled war veteran, I only have partial use of my left arm. Any tips ? Thanks Ssgt. John

Hahaha cooking oil and Vaseline for greasing its but I will try it 🤩👍

My wife always uses a ceramic coffee cup to sharpen her knives.

Use marine grease in your reels. Mercury Marine Quicksilver 2-4-C is Teflon based and is fairly inexpensive at Wal-Mart. If you have carbon fiber drag washers, give them a coating of any Teflon based grease for a smoother drag. Greased carbon fiber drags are the way to go, but the grease must be Teflon based. You lose a pound or maybe two lbs of drag at maximum drag, but your drag is smoother.

Great video,but you keep scaring me,when you go to the next tip😂

I use slip knot and small amount of electrical tape to keep the line in place I use braided and it tends to slip more than mono so tape plus slipknot works

We always freeze a gallon jug of water tot ake and drink. Hint - hot days andyou need to keep your live bait alive, freeze a couple of small water bottles and drop on in (lid attached) in your live well. Cools the water down whic h means it will hold more oxygen and cools the bait.

can't have enough dyi hacks, never know when they will come in handy

Cooling towel - YES ! But they are not all created equal. Some are like a sheet a thin Styrofoam, do not get these. You want the ones that are more like a cloth. And YES they do work! A straw hat wet will also be a benefit.

vinegar corrodes metal; yeah you might loosen the rust off because the metal underneat is being corroded off, but once you remove those plyers, look out! That rust will come back 100 times more aggressively.

Where's that video you did about that demponstrates that cheap knife that floats?

Jc.. on your 5 gal bucket handle when you used duck tape.. how about a piece of pool noodle an zip tie the ends slit stays on?

Olive oil doesn’t seem to effect the integrity if your line either and I think it is a less smelly option.

Love the hacks. Went and reviewed your Snook Monster rebuild. Do u still have the rod?

# 24; you can also just use tinfoil balled up and rub it to get the rust off. That's what I do. Takes 5 seconds.

What type of go pro do u use?

HEY, JC. Some cool tips for some of us. I need to switch to velcro instead of big metal binder clips

When I lived in an apartment, I used to put my rods and reels in the shower and give them a shower also.

I wish you would have used high visibility line so we could see what you're doing!

Rubbing that belt on that line is causing heat. Good way to get a lot of breaks.

Loose line hack: cut a slit in the side and pull the line into it and it'll stay in place.

Nice reel is that a penn

You don’t have 11 fingers but you use your toes 👍😂😂

Cant see the knots with the blue mat down there...try again

Car window does the same thing

#8. Split a piece of old water hose .....you know the rest

aer-a-tor

Impossible to see string against background.

Is that a new reel

My fishing tip..... NEVER wash your hands over the side of the boat... if you like having hands.

Love the video but please throw that knife sharpener away! I sharpen knives as a profession, and those things will chew your bevel up! A better option is to get a small round whet stone and spend an afternoon practicing with it. You can find one for a few bucks at any outdoor store. A lot more durable than those pocket sharpeners, and you're definitely gonna get a lot more use out of that knife.

please do not use vegetable oil as lubricant.

Aw See

Wash your rods when you take a shower. Use an old toothbrush & soap on the eyes & fittings.

O o o h

The best tip is still to go out and do it.

Throw the reels and rods in the shower...if you're in the apartment 👍

Abracadabra could not see a single thing you're doing with that fishing line like some of the other guys should have used paracord so I can see what you were doing as an example

Slipknot

Great tips...But the sound effects? Really! Very much aggravating! Your subject matter & presentation speaks for itself...no need for the theatrics.

Lmao dude just buy a good pocket knife not one from 7/11
