In my mind this would work best if your fishing line was on a spool like a bobbin. Just a thought


If you are going to carry eye hooks for a possible survival fishing rod, you would be better purchasing or salvaging some old fishing rod eyes off an old rod. Then again, when we were young, a longish, slender tree branch and some several 10's of feet of fishing line along with some old washers for sinkers, allowed us to catch fish with no problem.
