be sure to check out hand lines in your research...in my " bug-out " bag I have a small kit that I keep 5 small eye hooks in with line and fishing hooks... find a suitable green branch ..screw in the eye hooks every 12-18''...and you have a fishing pole..I plan to fish on my thru and have been toying with the idea of cutting off a the top of an old rod and using it without a reel...kinda' flyrod style..

there's more then one way to skin a cat...or catch a fish

PS..I worked with a Gentleman from Mexico...he use a beer can as a reel..dug worms..and did quite well using this method...
