Heres a few bits i made and modified for some very basic fishing.
A black bamboo pole refurbed and brass ferrules added bought for £5.
A cedar tackle/seat box made from parts of an old bee hive freebie.
2 Bait buckets made from two flower cans i got from the diy shop on offer as they had dents £1.99 each i painted one and made cedar lids for them adding a breather hole made from perforated zinc.
Floats made from bits left over from making larger floats.

Fabulous, I particularly like the cedar box. Walker would be proud, to paraphrase – 'never buy anything you can make yourself'.
