In this video I show the steps to make a hobo fishing reel and put it to the test. I was planning on going for carp but they weren't biting so I switched over to bass fishing and the bite was on. I used my lathe to make both these fishing reels. Check out rodlessreel.com/ to shop for handlines that I personally designed.
I wanted to use the green hobo fishing reel but it didn't cast as far as the other one because I made the line groove on the spool a little too deep. I was pretty surprised how well these reels reel in spinner baits. First bass caught on 1/8 OZ Rooster Tail, Second bass caught on black Zoom finesse worm Texas rigged with no weight.
These type of Hobo Reels are very fun to use and pretty simple to make although the maple I used took a pretty long time to lathe. Also, the green color came out really nice on my second reel. I just mixed some green dye with water and jiggled the reel around in it. Then after it was dry I put a coat of polyurethane warm gloss and let it dry overnight.
Sorry for the strange music, it's the best I could make in FL Studio. Thanks for watching, please comment any ideas you have on these reels and consider subscribing. I have more plans for these hobo reels like storage chambers etc.
