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

That's a great idea. Paracord is a wonderful thing. PVC pipe, duct tape and paracorp are a trifecta.

GREAT idea Alfredo! I don' think I would ever have thought of that. No wonder you are a master of many trades!

Nice trick, but I want to see what you caught on it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Thanks mates, kind comments from your part.

@SH: for my bride and friends, I'm more a master of waste time :-D

@Monsterdog: me too :-) I'll let you know

Haha, Alfredo, you may "Waste" time, but you do it in a productive manner! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Thanks dude, I'll print your answer and let read it to bride and friends...hope this help ah ah ah

Thanks mate.

Great idea, very creative. I'm a fly fisherman and fly tier, and I can tell you it looks like a serviceable, fish-catching fly. Good job.

Many thanks
