Duck Tape HACKs you'll really use

hey guys fishing and stuff today we got a bunch of duct tape hacks because you can do anything with duct tape I'm just saying so I'm not gonna waste a lot of time I'm gonna get right in these hats don't take back number one I'm gonna take some duct tape and I'm gonna take a penny I'm gonna take my leader making kit which is these players and this kit that come with it and I'm gonna take some stainless steel well wire and we're gonna make us a crankbait now the first step I'm gonna cut me a piece of well wire about four or five inches long however long you want your crank bait to be then I'm gonna put a 90 in it actually get you 90 in it grab it the other direction and bend it around until that wire touches your lung wire kinda like this next we're going to take our Penny and we're going to drill a hole in our Penny we don't own a very big hole we just want a little bit bigger than two pieces of that wire know what I'm saying next thing I'm gonna do is I'm taking this Penny we're gonna slide it up on this wire we're going to put it on both pieces of this wire after you get it on there then you'll take one of your little crimps and slide over both pieces of the wire and clamp it down even though it was pretty solid anyway I want to and put me a little dab of Super Glue in it you know what I'm saying so why our super glue is drying on our Penny and our wire we're going to cut another piece off about three inches or so how'd you cut your piece off you want to put a 90 in it again and make you a loop just so like you just got through doing after we get our 90 done and we put our little crimp on it you want to go up about an inch and put you another 90 in it but before you put your second 90 in it drop you a little Sinker on there and then bend your 90. just like this is because duct tape is waterproof but it's also very buoyant and we're going to need a little weight inside this lure to make it run right now we're going to stick two more crimps on this thing then we're gonna cut it to the lint we're going to do the same thing we did before we're gonna make a 90 make a loop now the length you cut this thing to is going to be how long you want your crank bait now that we got our Loop made on the back we're going to slide one of these down and crimp it on there then we're going to take this piece that we made right here we're going to crimp it on to the middle one and what these little Loops right here and right here are four is to put our hooks on because this thing might be made out of duct tape but it's gonna have to be solid on the inside for when we catch a fish you can turn it either direction crimp it on where you think the hook needs to be I faced the middle and towards the back because the lines going to be up here and it's always going to be pulling that direction and it going in through the back it ain't gonna slip out if we catch a fish there have this Penny just in case you ain't figured it out is to give the Lord some action kind of like a spoonbill does on your crankbait now next we need to start covering this thing up with duct tape if you got places that you need it to be thicker you can wad up duct tape and just stick it on there and then cover it but the main thing is to shape this thing like a crankbait so this thing ain't perfect by no means but I think it's gonna work this ain't the one way to find out if this thing's gonna work I actually have made a couple of these trying to get this right and I mean uh it ain't pretty but cranky ain't pretty either I don't think that's funny at all I know the perfect place to try this out this thing is awesome [Music] thank you foreign [Music] number two by the way did you know you can use duct tape for handcuffs out of my pool I gotta go oh crap I didn't know shut up the police are on their way I thought I see other people why do you think you can come to my pool anytime cranky said it's all right who hey don't you drag me into your trespassing shenanigans duct tape hack number three now this here is a box of Ziploc bags I like to use the freezer bags because I feel like they're a little bit stronger and I like the one with the zipper on the top because it's easier to open and close Ziploc bags are great for storing your fishing gear in like right here I got some extra leaders tied and ready to go on my rods the only thing about Ziploc bags is they're good for a lot of stuff because they're kind of flimsy and they'll tear up easy but if you take a Ziploc bag and you lay it down flat then you get you some duct tape and you start putting it across it leave a little bit hanging over on each end when you get done with the first side fold those ends over and then start putting tape on the other side make sure you tape the bottom good and run tape along the sides just to clean everything up and when you're done you got a bag that's really tough I mean really tough believe it or not this bag has like six pounds of sinkers in it and it ain't even thinking about tearing up and these zippers across the top like this are actually the strongest part of the bag and the duct tape makes the rest of the bag strong that's actually a good idea right there you know what I'm saying you know what I'm saying this thing turned out a lot better than I thought it would duct tape act number four I made a video about two years ago it was actually among my first hack videos I ever made well on that video I took duct tape and I made some lure covers because lure covers can get pretty expensive I think a cover like this is 5.99 but what it's for is to cover up those treble hooks so they don't get hung into everything I laid out duct tape against itself which makes a very strong material and I used it for my lure cover all you gotta do is buy you a little roll of velcro and put it around the outside and you got a lure cover just like the ones you buy and that's pretty dang awesome right there you could basically make a lure cover for all your rods for the price of one or two of those lure covers duct tape on a duck when he's cracked did you know duct tape was invented for the U.S military back in World War II the reason they invented duct tape was the Silver ammo containers and to keep moisture out duct tape is very strong and it's waterproof you may not know this but the original name of duct tape was duct tape I'm just saying and the only color it came in was army green now later after they come out with ammo cans that had rubber gaskets in them they didn't need duct tape anymore and they started using duct tape for AC duct work and changed the color to Silver well after it was bought and used for ductwork then they changed the name to duct tape hack number five foreign something every boat needs on it is a first aid kit and I've actually had first aid kits on several videos because I think they're important well if you don't have a first aid kit you should at least have some Band-Aids and if you don't have no Band-Aids you could take a row of duct tape and make you a Band-Aid in an emergency first thing you want to do is cut your strip off your duct tape you can put that piece of duct tape on your cup to keep dirt out of it and protect it but if you want it just like a Band-Aid if you have a piece of paper towel or a napkin you can clip you off a little piece lay it on your duct tape but when you're done and you put your paper towel on it you actually have made yourself a Band-Aid I mean that right they're pretty cool I'm gonna have people never buying Band-Aids again now just like the Band-Aid you could also take your scissors and some duct tape cut it into little bitty strips and you're going to need a few of these just like a butterfly bandage which is basically used to hold a cut ship so if you're out on your boat and you don't have no bandages use some duct tape duct tape pack number six you ever had a pair of dress shoes and they're real slick on the bottom and you almost fall down all the time as far as that goes there's nothing slicker than a wore out pair of Crocs well if you've got slick dress shoes or wore out Crocs you can put duct tape on the bottom because a little bit of duct tape on the bottom of a pair of wore out Crocs could save your life I'm just saying I'm trying to hippie duct tape pack number seven okay let's say you got some identical rod and reels these two rotten rails are crappy rods and they're not identical but let's just say you've got identical rod and reels but this one back here you got six pound test on this one up here you got four pound test on and you may say well I can feel the difference in four and six pound tests and you might can why I have to fill it and guess if I can Mark these rods I would know exactly which one had four pound test and which one had six pound test see what I'm saying now these right here are catfish rods and the thing about catfish rods is most of the time all my catfish rods has the same size line on it so I really don't get confused about the thickness line on them but catfish rods have different actions this one here is a medium heavy which most of my catfish rods are medium heavy but I do like to use extra heavy rods too and that might seem weird to some people but I like to troll and pull planer boards when I'm fishing and when you're pulling planter boards if you use a light action Rod then it stays bent over the whole time and if you use a heavy action Rod it just pulls the boards better in my opinion well if your rods all look the same like mine instead of looking through them and seeing which ones you want to use for painting I use duct tape to mark my rods that way I know which ones are for the planer boards hack number eight duct tape makes an excellent temporary patch the key word in that statement was temporary but like I've already said this stuff is waterproof let's say you got leak in your boat we'll throw some duct tape on it I know that sounds crazy but it really is a good temporary patch I got a cheap plastic cup right here right so we're gonna cut a hole in this cheap plastic cup [Music] that right there is a giant hole we're going to take our duct tape and we're gonna patch that hole [Music] so now we're going to put some water in the cup now I got a little drip right here that's coming out though because I didn't get the tape on good enough but I mean look at the size of that hole right there and that little drip saw you got this trick could save your life I mean a whole like that would sink your boat in a hurry drip like that you can get back to shore with that I mean that ain't no big deal I probably will try again put my duct tape on right it ain't looking now is it I told you it worked but seriously all jokes aside this is a good temporary fix duct tape fixes everything duct tape pack number nine I did a video a couple months ago about eight things you should keep on your boat and one of them was emergency rope if you're ever out there and you need some rope and you ain't got some you can make rope at duct tape believe it or not who you have a long piece of duct tape and roll it up and that stuff's a lot stronger than what you would think I mean it don't look like much and this might seem dumb to you but it's nice to know that you can do this in an emergency I'm going to tie a mine to this anchor and see if it'll pick it up picks it up pretty dang easy foreign so this duct tape rope is a lot stronger than what you think oh and by the way this anchor was a really cool project and if you're interested in making yourself an anchor but you ain't got no welder I built this whole anchor without a welder I mean it's really pretty simple and it's really pretty cool duct tape hack number 10 . now you can also take a piece of duct tape because duct tape's waterproof a lot of times I got my raw drinked up in their sinkers on them when I transport my rods these sinkers can beat against your rod and knock the paint off of it you can take a piece of duct tape and cut you off a strip wrap it around that Sinker and then this Sinker ain't gonna beat up your ride like this Sinker I mean you can even hear the difference you see what I'm saying you know what I'm saying actually did this on a hack video with shrink wrap and it did work good but duct tape is a lot more accessible and is cheaper in the long run number 11. so the snacks hack ain't really duct tape okay but I thought it was worth mentioning because it is tape it kind of looks a lot like duct tape though the main reason is this stuff has a backing on it you could put some of this on your Bobbers you could put this on planer boards you could cut you off a piece of this stuff pull the backing off wrap it around the tip of your rod and that's freaking cool because now when it's dark outside but this does interesting and it has a lot of different uses you know what I'm saying I'm just saying well there you have it a bunch of awesome duct tape packs seriously if you like this video then you should go check out my channel page and it'll pull up a list of videos and I'm sure you'll find something you like on there don't worry shut up the police are on their way to try not to sound too much no that's all right I know we're supposed to be right next what are we supposed to be rednecks anyway what gives you the right to come oh wait wait [Music] who's that dumb there's people everywhere around here can't have nothing well there you have it a bunch of awesome duct tape I don't told you to stay out of my pool Oreo kill him this video is over foreign
