Making a Ice Fishing Rod! (out of Some Household Items)

Ice Fishing rods are many meant to set the hook on a fish so really you don't need any fancy gear or stuff, In this step by step Instructable it will explain and show you how to make a ice fishing rod in minutes, with simple household items like: Clothes hangar, pen/pencil, fishing line with spool and pliers!

Making a homemade Ice fishing rod is as easy as opening your closet & tackle box. You will need:

1. Clothes hanger (rod)
2. Fishing line&spool (pretty self explanatory)
3. Pencil & Pen (Handle)
4. Pliers (To bend the  clothes hanger)

Use the pliers because if you use you fingers its really going to hurt afterward!!! (i've learned the hard way)

You can use your finger for this.

Bend the extra wire straight, going to the side. ( you can use your hands again)

Slide the spool onto the part of the hanger you just bent. (in step 4)

Lock in the spool about a half a centimeter from where it lay's.

Bend some loops in the hangar for the eyes on the rod.

Add the Pencil/Pen as the handle and your done!

Good luck Fishing!!!
