You can carry two survival fishing kits: one within a little tin candy box, and the other is an essential fishing reel that you can build out of PVC tubing.
Small Tin Kit
The items you put and fit in this kit can include monofilament of a 10-pound test that’s approximately 30 meters long, eight hooks with barbs, three dry flies, and one jig.
You can also add one lure, three plastic fishing lures, stoppers for floats and weights, and swivels of various sizes.
Additionally, it is ideal for taping the hooks to the top of the tin. Then tape the weights and swivels to the bottom of the container. This approach organizes them and protects them from rattling around in the kit.
Taping the tin tight so it doesn’t open up inside my got-go fishing pouch by accident is a great tip you can also do.
Survival Fishing Kit Made of PVC Pipe
For making a survival fishing kit from PVC pipe, you will need items like an 11-inch3/4″ PVC pipe, a couple of pieces of 3/4″ PVC end caps, and one 3/4″ PVC straight coupler.
Your first step in building your DIY PVC pipe is to cut two 3/4″ PVC pipe sections. One is 6 inches long, and the other is 5 inches long. Next, use the coupler to link them together.
After that, drill a tiny hole through which you will run the line through the six-inch portion to retain the fishing line. Make sure to attach a float stopper to the pipe’s interior to secure the line. This hole should be near the coupler.
And then, cut a slit with a hacksaw on the opposite end of the six-inch portion. In this way, the loose end of the line slides through easily for storage.
Lastly, you can make the handle by wrapping the length of the bankline around the shorter segment of the pipe.
