Awesome job on this 'ible. I think you should add some fishing line so you don't have to rely on taking apart your Paracord bracelets. I've found that taking the metal end of the pencil that holds the eraser makes a good line holder for 4-6 lb test line. All you need to do is remove the eraser and pencil and bend up the ends just a little to hold the line on snugly. Then add some hooks, weights and grabs to complete your fishing section. Good job bro. Hope to see some more great 'ibles.
