I tend to make or modify things to suit my needs. Was wondering what are some of the things you have made or modified fishing related. Here's some of my creations.

I got a small cart because at the time I had a little car and the big cart wouldn't fit in the trunk. I cut the back off to fit a second cooler on it initially. It also works out that I made some chair racks that also doubles as a pier net rack out of PVC. And the cut out let's the chairs sit better. The best thing I've done is the milk crate on the handle.
They're still around, but I've had several of them for years. I see a pile of them every time I go to the elementary school to vote out behind the cafeteria.
1st post!
My DIY hoop net for pier fishing. Its a 26in bike tire frame. Split the tire down the middle then sandwiched them together. Rolled it then tied with No.36 tarred Bank line. The net is a old seine that a mouse chewed up. Then I used a kite line holder to hold about 50ft of line.
Folds up and fits in a bucket.
Interesting, what's the largest load you've pulled up with it? I added about 10# of 5/8 chain to the bottom ring of my pier net (store bought) to stabilize it in waves and current, but have been wanting to make a larger one .
Well. Just made it a week or so ago. But I had a 20lb jug of water in it. Dangled it for awhile then bounced the heck out of it! Held really well!!
I've got a few other DIY things I could post. Floating livewell (poolnoodle & laundry sack) collapsible beach cart(grocery cart I got out of the trash)
Here are the recent mods to the fish wagon. Made 6 anti rattle clamps for all the connections. Modified the hitch umbrella and added a cable to help in the wind. Hold down with locks for the cooler up front. Added the floor to the cart a few years back. I’m always changing things to fit my needs better.
Anyone used one of these in the field? Setting up a rod capable of slinging 6 & bait for friends that have not yet mastered conventional. Your opinions?
I'm up grading my Penn Fierce 8000 felt drag washers to carbon washers. I really haven't had any problems with the felt but when I did a maintenance tear down I noticed they were looking a little thin. I didn't order the grease the seller of the washers was selling but used a light coat of the...
Hey Yall,
We hit the creek after work the other day and all whipped out our favorite creek fishing lure; in-line spinners and more specifically the Joe Fly.
The Joe Fly is generally lighter weight than other in-line spinners from mepps or rooster tail which means you need to add extra weight...
