I Spend My Nights Hand-Making Vintage Fishing Accessories

When I started taking fishing more seriously I was in need of a hook wallet but couldn’t find one to my liking, so I made myself one out of a discarded pencil pouch I had lying around the house. People seemed to like it so I decided to make a couple more, along with some other storage solutions such as rod tip holders.

I made a point of finding some nice-looking, quality materials. I know plastic storage is practical but I just can’t stand it…

Making these is a meticulous process, but I like tinkering with the small details

The tips of fishing rods are extremely fragile so they need protection—some folks store their rod tips in cardboard whisky tubes
