I pretty much always have hemostats with me fishing as well.
When stringing a rod (especially a fly rod) double the line as you feed it through the guides. If you drop it the double line won't slide back out.

Glad you liked them.
MOAR!
9 - Camp breakfast in a bag: Fill the bottom of a paper bag with hashbrowns, crack an agg, and lay bacon on top. Fold top of bag closed and hold over fire with a green stick. When it smells done open bag, eat breakfast, and throw bag in fire.
10 - Shoot ice cubes: Ice cubes make great inexpensive reactive targets. Gets hard if missed because they melt. Don't cause litter. Use different shapes and food coloring.
11 - Eye irritant: If you get something in your eye rub the opposite eye to cause both to water. This will flush the irritant from the original eye.
12 - Find crappie - After catching first fish blow up a balloon and tie it onto the fish using monofilament through the hook hole in the mouth. Follow the ballon around to stay with the school.
13 - Feed bananas to crickets: Creates a great flavor and aroma in the crickets for bluegill according to old timers.
14 - Casting hoops - Use a kids hula hoop on the ground in your yard to practice your casting accuracy.
15 - Smoke signals: Green vegetation makes white smoke which is better for sunny days. Plastics, tires, etc. make black smoke which is easier to see on overcast days.

Used to do this when I was a kid on the Bogue Chitto. It works.
eta: 16 - Catalpa worms. Nothing else needs to be said.

Ziploc bag
Take a half empty roll of TP, remove cardboard, squish flat, put in ziploc, keep in hunting bag. Saves space

Also for wacky rigging senkos/finesse worms I buy heat shrink (I can't remember the exact sizes but I think 1/4" for finesse and 3/8" for senkos). Cut into 1/4" or so pieces, slide over bait, put hook through heat shrink and bait. Reinforces bait, hook won't tear through. It'll last until fish bite the tail enough for it to tear off.

Another good TP trick: empty paint can, half a bottle of rubbing alcohol, and a roll of TP and you've got yourself a long lasting heater.

I wonder if that ballon trick would work on trout.... Jackass porpoises would screw it up though
Posted on 5/1/14 at 10:24 pm to bluemoons
Oh another one. Keep some toothpicks in bass tackle box. Cheap pegs for texas rigs. Jam toothpick in top of bullet weight, crack off. Good when punching through grass so weight doesn't slide down ahead of bait

Heres one for keeping small items organized in a tackle box:
16 - Use a safety pin: Thread swivels, etc. onto a closed safety pin to keep them together in the tackle box.

Tried it a couple times without much luck. Trout seem to like to swim in circles after they get caught and released haha.

If you find a tree you really like for a bow set up, but it doesn't have enough coverage for your taste you can get the little flag holders and screw them in the tree and put either fake branches (leaves won't die) or cut branches and put them in the flag holders. So you basically can put man made branches wherever you like to give you better coverage to draw back on your target.

I can use that

I also take cut the cardboard insert from packs of hooks or swivels or beads or whatever to fit the squares in my tackle boxes and put them in the bottom of the square under the hooks or whatever. That way when I run out I can remember what kinda and size I got. So if I want the same or I want something bigger or smaller I know what to go off of.
I also keep empty bags of soft plastics in my tackle bag to keep track of what I'm out of.
