Learn how to make DIY micro fishing hooks out of sewing needles! These DIY fishing hooks are barbless hooks that do minimal damage to the fish. All you will need is some sewing needles, and needle nose pliers. We used these micro fishing hooks at the creek with our homemade DIY fishing rods. An awesome challenge to take. I now pass the challenge to you!

Those look great for maybe can fishing, or string a row of gold ones to jig off a pier for spanish. also, what if you used actual sewing needles that have an eye? open the eye a little bit and boom. Done
That is an awesome way to make hooks really crafty,can't wait til me and my son sit down in make some
These are some useful and good ideas
Job well done young man👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
IF YOU ACTUALLY USED A SEWING NEEDLE YOU WOULDN'T NEED TO MAKE AN EYE. that's how u know he isn't into arts and crafts
Thes are high quality hooks and they never break, bend or let me down They are rock solid and well worth every penny paid. Take it from me. Its not worth a lost fish to use the cheaper hooks. You get what you pay for.
Tried and failed each catch even smallest catch came off and straightened the needle back out. But was fun trying.
Don’t need an eye..use a nail, bend, sharpen the tip..take a hammer and pound the head flat..use a snell style knot to tie directly onto the shank
Thank in lockdown so not many tackle shops open and live near a lake last line snapped
Brings back memories of yesteryears, having tried this on goldfish 30 years ago in Australia. Brendon the hook you cut down would be perfect for baitfish in the waters of Sydney Harbour with a size 8 to 10 long shank.
My mom and dad ran a park that had fishing lakes. She was always getting hooks out of people. So the only way she would let us fish was to make us hooks out of straight pins since they have no barbs it is much easier to get out of you if you get hooked.
I make mine with ring nose pliers you find in jewelry making dept. Nice round bend. As for the eye, sometimes you can tie a leader right on the shank with a bit of super glue. Some sewing needles are tempered and will snap when bent unless you anneal it first.
You can try using a real sewing needle with a “split” eye that you can use one side as the point and shorten the other for a barb. The pointed end would have to be trimmed and use a round nose pliers for making the eye. I hope this is a good idea. Love y’all. Grandma Suzie here.
I take a nail and wrap the needle around it. Looks way better that way instead of using pliers
I made one out of a paper clip it was very hard but it WORKS so good 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I live in Manitoba and we aren’t aloud to use barbed hooks we have to pinch the barb
Walmart does sell smaller hooks check the fly fishing area if your Walmart has one think size 26 is smallest I have seen
You can buy small hooks and all my hooks are barbless or made barbless. But if your bored good thing to do. Though having to be shown how to do this?????
Hey! I need some tackle and needing to read some things on your site buuuuuuuuuuuuut its down. insert sad face
Anywho.. Keep up the videos!! You have forever won a place on my favorites bar and because of you…my girlfriend and I are also going to start our VLOG soon! Very excited!
Haha this video is interesting. I might try it and see if i can catch some fish with it
I liked the longer hook but you said it didn't look right I think it would work good with a worm on it
Who cares if its pin or sewing needles the man is just showing us something
Just remembered it. I live in the south pacific region and when we run out of big hooks, we use nails (« extra large needle ») as hooks. Sharpen the pointy end and that’s it. No eyes for the hook is required since the head of the nail acts as a bound. May be you could try this some day.
Nice vid love it should i try it when i go fishing next week for my birthday
Maybe japanese already produce this but with no hole in it to tie the ……………. And only the pro know this information about the smallest hook size and how to tie it with …………….
