Survival bait

[Alfredo]

Scenario: want to fishing, but no bait at all.
Some paracord (if bright color, better), a lighter, a hook, a small knife, you have all what you need


Cutting some paracord, long double you’re hook


Pull out the internal wires of the paracord, until you reach the middle of the paracor


Now, insert the hook in the paracord

Cutting the paracord, until you reach the ring of the hook


Melting the paracord, near the ring of the hook

The same on the other side (carefully, you don’t wnat to melt the internal wires)


Now you’re bait is ready…


…and you may use it, attached to a half metre of wire

hoping for a good catch.

Mine is from today whit me in my emergency kit



Ciao, Alfredo

Looks cool - I'll be interested to see what you get - in freshwater small perch and trout may have a go. Natural baits are fairly abundant if it doesn't work. I've had success with Worms (of course) Slugs, Elderberries, and Grasshoppers but most insects should entice a hungry fish, seeds should work too but getting them on the hook could be tricky. I do know one guy who's used just tin foil wrapped around the hook shank to catch.

Great idea Alfredo! can you please do a video scroll on your emergency kit? it look interesting and different to mine and others (in a good way!)

Nice one Bro.
There used to be an old poacher that lived around here, he just used a bit of red wood, the guy was a legend in his day.
Your lure looks like a nice and juicy wee shrimp.
Did you know it’s illegal to use prawns for bait on salmon around here, so you defiantly got the colour right.

An old Hugh Falkus trick for night fishing and I mean pitch black, you just use a small bit of cork and drag it along the surface seatrout snap them off the surface, its supposed to look like a wee frog.

I could see that catching mackerel,garfish or even small bass,you could throw it out with the weight and sink and draw it back or fish it paternoster style in a running tide,excellent idea....

Hi Alfredo.
I was watching Matt Hayes on TV the other day, he was using a bright orange dry fly in the middle of the day, A dip or a dap a bap or something, whatever anyway, You could always add a small white, yellow or copper bead just below the hook eye for extra weight and that bug head look, but that’s probably just me and my aesthetics.
PS that nut sinker is a bit rough though and could easily cut through the line if you get a big fish to tighten the line, I hope to get a new musket ball mould in the New Year for ammo for my slingshot I’ll give you a shout when I get it, that nut is just bad news for an an otherwise nice wee rig.
Tight lines and Later Bro.

I'm guessing the P-cord with reflective tracer may work well also, something for the fish to catch a 'glint' off of?
