Hey guys, Ultralight here from sodacanpots.com, and today I'm going to show you how to make
the Gorge hook, A primitive fishing tool, or fishing hook. And what you'll need it simply
a pocket knife, and a branch. And this can be either off of the ground or straight off
of the tree, which I recommend. It can be really any type of wood although birch wood
I've heard is best. -fade- Alright so I'm just going
to take this branch, and over here - move to stone - , I'm going to cut this part off,
strip the leaves off of it, and take the bark off. - fade- Alright, so I stripped the bark
off of the wood here, and I like this wood, it's pretty nice. So now we're going to cut
the length of what we need for the gorge fishing hook. The average length that your going to
make this is the length of the average mans pinky finger, or about the length of my ring
finger here. So that would be about here, - points to spot - and the size varies depending
on what size you imagine the fish you are going to catch to be. Alright, so, I'm going
to use my knife and a rock to do this, (it's sad sometimes when you don't have three hands)
- fumbles with camera, knife, and stone - but, let's try this... - hits knife with rock - Ok.
I'm going to have to pause the video recorder, and I'll cut it and be right back. - fade
- ok guys, so I've cut it to about the length
of my ring finger here, I switched to a different nicer rock, And what we're going to do now
is simply take our pocket knife and sharpen the gorge hook. So I'll go ahead and do that
and I'll be right back. - fade - Ok guys, so you can see that I've sharpened the ends
here, don't make too many gorge hooks or it will really dull up your knife if the wood
is thick enough. But now we're going to do the last step of making this, and that would
be to hit our knife with a stone and make a notch all the way around the middle of the
gorge hook. So once again, I'll do that and I'll be right back. - fade - Alright guys,
I made the notch all the way around the middle, and that would hold your fishing line. You
can make the notch bigger or smaller depending on how thick you fishing line is. But that's
it guys! We now have our gorge hook, and what you would do to bait this is you'd get two
worms to cover up each side of the fishing hook with the fishing line tied in the notch
at the middle of the hook. You need to hide the hook as much as possible.
If you look up gorge hook here on youtube, intenseangler has a video demonstrating using
the hook to catch a fish and how to make it, although I got this from another source of
information. I'm ultralight from sodacanpots.com, be sure
to stay light and enjoy the outdoors, and I'll see ya later guys!
