For this project, I decided to create something that would be useful incase the world went into an apocalypse like state. Since I cannot leave my house or pretty much go to the grocery store, I thought it would be very useful to create a fishing pole made out of ordinary house items. Due to the recent outbreak of Covid-19, it is really hard to purchase supplies for everyday life such as food. This has been happening due to the fact that people are panic buying food. I think that creating this fishing pole will help me out in the future by going down to the beach and fishing for my own food. 

Materials: 

Arizona Ice tea bottles

Arizona Ice tea bottle caps

fishing wire

cardboard 

hot glue gun

thumbtacks 

1 fishing lure

For the little fish:

Plastic water bottle

coffee cup lid

colored tissue paper

hot glue gun

Overall, I feel like my fishing pole turned out pretty good. I feel like the thing that was most successful about my project was turning house hold objects like bottles and wire into a fishing pole that can hold a maximum amount of five pounds. During this whole process, it was really fun to actually work on and refine a full functioning fishing pole. To create my fishing pole, cut the bottom of the bottles and glued all of them together to create the main body of the pole. After that, I cut a small hole inside each bottle and threaded a fishing wire through each bottle. When all the wire was through each bottle, I wrapped it around a toilet paper roll and put cardboard wheels on the very end of the roll to make sure that the wire would not slip off. For the handle, I glued Arizona ice tea bottle caps together so that I could reel in anything that I would originally catch in open waters. When the whole lockdown is lifted in California, I will make sure to go out to the beach near my house and fish off of the pier to hopefully catch a live fish!
