Top 3 Surf Fishing Rig Hacks (That Save Time & Money)

Күн бұрын

The other day I was prepping for my upcoming surf fishing trip and ran into a bit of a problem…
I was going to be targeting pompano, but none of the stores had floats.
My trip was the next day, so instead of ordering them online and waiting a few days for them to come in, I decided to take matters into my own hands and make my own floats.
The floats I made looked just like the store-bought ones but were a fraction of the cost.
In this video, I’m going to show you how to make your own floats, plus I’ll show you two other surf fishing rig hacks that will save you time and money.
I've been testing a bunch of different tricks like these and the three in this video are my favorite.
If you like to go surf fishing, you're going to love this video.
Have any questions about these hacks?
Do you have any other hacks you like to use?

I've been using my old disposable foam earplugs from work as floats in freshwater. Work great.

You could also use a 30 caliber (or similar) brass rifle casing...fired and empty, of course..and do the same thing. That's how I make mine. And if you are into fly tying, the little flip flop floats make great popper bodies for bluegills.

Nice tip I was actually thinking recently what I could make those floats with. This is a great idea!

When I saw the flip-flops in the thumbnail I thought “what a great idea, that will make walking in the surf so much easier “. Still going to try it.

Great idea on the floats, you can take a file and sharpen the edges and it will cut even better. If you do that you'll need to do it over wood so it doesnt dull as quickly.

Great video man thanks for sharing. However you didn’t show how you put the line through the hole in the sandal lol float you made? Assuming you a small object such as a toothpick or something and you punch it through to make a small hole so you can put the line through?

Trading card holder is an interesting tip I'll try it. I use the small "snack" size ziploc bags that are about 3" tall to keep my rigs in. Can use them a few times over and over if you save them. I have all different sizes and colors separated in a small three ring binder thing I got at bass pro. It just hangs from my cart. Try a cheap set of gasket punches from harbor freight for the flip flops. Cuts really easily. I have to imagine that the copper pipe gets bent after a couple times. The punches are made for being hit by a hammer. Great info keep it up

@RedfishInc 4 жыл бұрын

I keep the little clear packets that hooks, swivels and split shot come in. They usually have some kind of resealable flap or ziplock and are the perfect size for most hand tied rigs. They are reusable multiple times so when I pull a rig out I just put the packet back in my tackle bag to be reloaded for the next trip.

Nice video. I gave up on the flip flop because it was about impossible to drill an adequate hole through the float.

@michaeleverton4882 Жыл бұрын

Sharpen a bicycle spoke end, heat up in candle flame, push through float slowly, I do that with my cork floats; do pushing motion few times to clear hole. 🎣

good video like th plug maker.I use the slipper to hold rigs ct slits by the toe and heel. stab hooks into the sides of slipper. holds 2 sabiki rigs and 2 or 3 dorado rigs. no tangles. ... I make bottom fishing and sabiki rigs sameway exept you put the hook on backwards .aways put the line from the inside of the hook. works better that way cause it curls around the jaw thats why most hooks are pointed to the eye of the hook . that why circle hooks work without setting the hook . also the slipper rig is washdown able and floats . no scared um go get um.
