Have you ever created special, homemade fishing devices or accessories?

Ever DIYed your own fishing gear or accessories? Was it something basic or did you come up with a full-blown custom design? How was the experience and did it work? Keen to know what others have tried and how successful it was. Also, if you have some pictures to share, that would be awesome. Looking forward to your responses.

Oh, you've opened a can of worms now—pun totally intended! So here's the deal, I once decided to make a fishing rod out of an old pool noodle—sounds fishy, right? I carved out a channel in the noodle, slotted in a dowel for rigidity, and bam, I had the world's most buoyant rod. It was more of a "float" than a "sink your line" kind of deal, if you catch my drift.

Now let’s talk functionality—or lack thereof. Let's just say it had the sensitivity of a brick. I mean, a fish could do a full-on Broadway number at the end of the line and I wouldn’t feel a thing. But hey, on the upside, if you ever find yourself in need of a makeshift life-saving device while fishing, I’m your go-to inventor.

So how about you folks? Any funny or peculiar DIY fishing contraptions to share? Maybe something that didn't turn out to be a masterpiece but rather a master... piece of comedy?

That's hilarious! Gotta hand it to you for creativity. I've dabbled with converting a mini flashlight into a makeshift lure with some shiny bits – little did I anticipate, but it actually attracted a few curious bites in low light conditions! How about unusual bait experiments, anyone tried something out of the ordinary that unexpectedly worked?
