Sensitive DIY HOOKSETTER for Trout, Panfish and Catfish (Homemade Hooksetter Build and Catch) @BackroadsAngling

I get a lot of questions about making an automatic DIY/homemade hooksetter that is sensitive enough for trout and panfish. After searching Amazon I found a hooksetter that might work. Here I show you how to make the DIY Trout Hooksetter, how it works and I take it to a trout pond to test it out. The results were pretty encouraging.
