DIY Sewing Needle Fishing Hook Tutorial

Learn how to make DIY micro fishing hooks out of sewing needles! These DIY fishing hooks are barbless hooks that do minimal damage to the fish. All you will need is some sewing needles, and needle nose pliers. We used these micro fishing hooks at the creek with our homemade DIY fishing rods. An awesome challenge to take. I now pass the challenge to you!

I make mine with ring nose pliers you find in jewelry making dept. Nice round bend. As for the eye, sometimes you can tie a leader right on the shank with a bit of super glue. Some sewing needles are tempered and will snap when bent unless you anneal it first.

Brings back memories of yesteryears, having tried this on goldfish 30 years ago in Australia. Brendon the hook you cut down would be perfect for baitfish in the waters of Sydney Harbour with a size 8 to 10 long shank.

I just recently started tying my own rigs because of your help, now I can make my own hooks! Thanks Brendan

Nice vid man. For avoiding the eye loop a think you could smash it a lil bit so it gets flat and use it as an eyeless hook

[yiannikomniny]

I used to do this to catch goldfish in a local creek

thaks for all your help about surf fishing

You can try using a real sewing needle with a “split” eye that you can use one side as the point and shorten the other for a barb. The pointed end would have to be trimmed and use a round nose pliers for making the eye. I hope this is a good idea. Love y’all. Grandma Suzie here.

Those aren’t sewing needles. No eye for thread. Those are straight pin needles

Through ebay i purchased ten packs of ten each of number 14 mini hooks. Great for catching fresh or salt water bait fish.

You can get a Barb by using a small file and bubing it a little and you should release all of the products and I'd live to see what lure you make it think it is going to be a multi species kind of think like the cast King it goes for many fish

[willmacduff]

Thank in lockdown so not many tackle shops open and live near a lake last line snapped

[dj_mo_doe]

Thanks! Now I can make tiny hooks to catch bait for my sturgeon fishing!

[rileyfarrell]

[jettaman]

Hey! I need some tackle and needing to read some things on your site its down. *insert sad face*
Anywho.. Keep up the videos!! You have forever won a place on my favorites bar and because of you...my girlfriend and I are also going to start our VLOG soon! Very excited!

[nicholassmerk]

That's cute. You should try heat treating them.

[henrymeyergarvey]

Wow cool idea I've made hooks but not the easy way... each hook takes about an hour or two and I make them out of stainless steel that I've shaped into a hook and sharpened on a wet stone. Takes a while but the out come Is amazing if you do it right!

[cesarmonsivaiz]

Nice vid love it should i try it when i go fishing next week for my birthday
