Fishing Kits:
The container is made of hard plastic, water tight (I add a ranger band to ensure your kit is water tight), holds the entire kit, and works as a expedient reel and rod. Wrapped around this tube is a yard of red duct tape. We all know how great duct tape is! This type of fishing used to be called Hobo or Hand fishing - and after an extensive test this summer - it works! At various lakes this summer I was catching as much or more as the other fisherman with poles and full tackle boxes. Simply underhand or sling cast your line out (I can get this rig to cast a full 25 yards!) and let the weight, hook, and bait fall to desired depth to start fishing.
The kit comes ready to fish with approx 20 yards of 10 pound test fishing line spliced to 20 yards of 6 pound test as a lead (arbor knot at the top to prevent slipping at full cast) and wrapped around the top of the kit. The lighter weight lead allows for a longer cast and the heavier weight adds some strength in the hand. Also, you can separate the lines and cast with just the 10 pound test.
It is held in place by a 'ranger band'. There is a bobber knot/bead, premium strike indicator, a sinker Eagle Talon hook tied (improved hook knot) at the end. Simply add bait (supplied) and you are fishing in a matter of seconds.
Inside the kit comes with a dozen pieces of artificial bait if you cannot find bait in your situation.
Also included in the bag is:
1) 5 aberdeen eagle talon size twelve hooks.
2) 10 or more split shot sinkers
3) 2 Treble hooks for drop lines.
4) 2 curly tail lures (3/8th ounce waited head and 3/16th ounce head)
5) 9 curly tail lure replacements (3 different colors: Chartreuse & Black, Pumpkin Seed, Blue & Silver translucent)
6) 2 pre-tied bobber knots and beads.
7) a second strike indicator.
8) A screw eye to make an expedient fishing pole out of in the field.
9) I am also including spare Ranger bands for the kit.
But that is not all!
I have included a bobbin filled with 50 feet of 65 pound test spyder wire! This no memory blend can be used for a dedicated fishing pole (use the eye hook above, a long stick, your extra bobber, bobber knot, sinkers, and hooks) and you will have a great dedicated pole. If two of you are in a survival situation, you can double your odds with this addition to your kit.
All of the equipment is top notch and fully tested!
One last thing I should mention - these kits fit PERFECTLY (no rattle) inside of a Klean Kanteen 16 ounce stainless steel bottle. You can buy this (not included) and have a place to carry water, boil water, and a fishing kit - with minimal weight and size!
28 dollars, paypalled, and shipped - PRIORITY - I have 3 of these.
P.S.: Here is me fishing with my kit over the summer - look what I hauled in:
