In this video I will show you how to make a DIY/homemade rod holder that also functions as a hooksetter for bank fishing. At the end I take this rod holder/hooksetter out to a local pond and catch fish with it. I think the results were pretty incredible! As always thank you for watching Backroads Angling.

Nice video, worth a sub. Are you up northern Midwest, if you don't mind me asking?
Great idea. Thanks for posting this video. Maybe consider placing a small bell on it so it works as a bite indicator (just a thought). But love your idea. Happy fishing.

Awesome video I wished I watched this before I bought the hook setter I have now which is crap.
That is really cool. It would come in handy in case of emergency thank you
Молодец. Интесная самоделка, но вместо щетки зубной надо что-то другое сделать. А так снасть рабочая, класс.
The awakening was really great to watch. Carp here in SA are very sensitive and take a long time nibbling mostly before setting off, so your d invention y is excellent. Thanks
