How to Make a Bottle Cap Fishing Lure

 

I saw this brilliant idea on YouTube and had to share it. A very smart guy figured out how to make a Bottle Cap Fishing Lure out of a discarded beer bottle caps.

He even made a business of recycling buckets of beer caps harvested from local bars until he was sued by beer manufacturers for use of their copy-written logos.

I would link to the website, but it is no longer used as the bottle cap lure guy – it looks like someone else bought it, which is a shame, as the Bottle Cap Fishing Lure is a really cool idea.

All you need is:

• Beer/Soda bottle top
• Split rings
• BB’s or small split shot
• Treble hook.
• Tools are simple also:
• Hammer and small nail/Drill and small bit
• Pliers

Instructions:

• Using your fingers, press the sides of the cap until it buckles
• Before pushing the two ends together, place a couple BB’s or shot into the cavity, so that they can rattle.
• Carefully drill or punch a hole at either end of the folded cap. It may help to slightly flatten the ends with your pliers.
• Thread a split ring into each hole
• Thread a Treble hook into one of the split rings
• Go fishing…

I would love to post pictures of any catch you have gotten using this piece of DIY fishing tackle.
