Emergency Fishing Kit Compact

Survival Purpose

Carry a compact fishing kit in your emergency kit or go-bag. The key is to include the right gear while maintaining a low weight and bulk. The ASE basic Survival Fishing Kit  was designed as a collaborative effort between survivalists and avid fishermen. 

The Contents include:

• 2 Jigs - 1 Swirl Tail and 1 Tiny Shad
• 2 Jigheads 1/16 unpainted Round
• 1 Tube of Bait - Salmon Eggs or Crappie Nibbles
• 1 Fly Size 10 1/8
• 6 Hooks - 2 x #4, 2 x #6, and 2 x #8
• 1 Wire Wound Leaders
• 6 Split Shot - 3 x BB and 3 x 3/0
• 1 Tooth Pick Float Bobber
• 50 feet of 12 pound fishing line.

An automated fishing method would allow you to go do something else: set snares, build an archery set, tend to a fire, etc. These definitely belong in a go-bag.

What We Like

Tips and Recommendations
