Video Transcription

so I just need a few components to build my fishing kit I need you stick any fishing line I need a rock I need a hook the end of the stick I want to be bluntly pointed down the fishing line they have about 50 feet of line I'm gonna start off by just tying two half hitches it's helpful to use a branch tie the knot around now it's ready for my kit just pull it on there tight and then I back it up with putting another half hitch over it just start wrapping on

the rest of my line so I'm gonna use two half hitches as well I like to find a rock that has a crease in it I'm gonna put my rock inside the knot take it down I'm gonna just put another two high features on top of that one all right make sure it's secured tight around that rock

I'll set just over a foot from the sinker I'm gonna put in my my hook I like to use a small hook you also put different levels on here this is how far off the bottom I'll be fishing about a foot and a half I could set it up around two feet three feet I could have one hook at one feet and the other one at three so how I do this I pick my spot about this far off the bottom just make a bike just make a loop in the line now I'm going to just tie an overhand knot

put the bite through it so now I have my line with a bite a loop free-floating right on it then I'm gonna take my hook I'm gonna attach it with a larks head

squeeze down your bite until it's really small and then I put it through the eye of the hook and then put my bite the sloop I have over my hook and then I tighten it see what it looks like it goes right through lock this down even further you can then put

another overhand knot but after you put the hook on you just do it again and that stops it creates a lock that stops the loop from getting smaller around the hook see that little overhand that I put in there

so if this locks this not starts collapsing towards the eye of the hook that not stops it right there there it is as my rig very simple to do just a lark said onto a fishhook on a bite in the middle of my line it's a good little kit it's just a stick and some fishing line hook a rock it doesn't get more simple than that I mean and it produces fish
