I like the butter knife / plumb / church key etc ..... !!! I used to use copper tubing & lead jointed in LI an old plumber I knew made these copper eels... And they caught... But I really want to use wrenches & ipones !



I think it's time to tie a hook to the cell old cell phone.. I can't loose !

Fellows I worked with would take a 1/4" piece of stainless tubing,crimp one end in a vise,fill about 3/4 full of lead,crimp the other end,drill a hole in each end for split rings to fish the river for stripers.This became one of the hottest lures for stripers below a local dam.Best part they used company material and did the work on company time.

Where did you get that box of colored tubes?

 

They're Marine Electrical heat shrink tubes......  for workin on the boat... But I love em' for lures. Cheap too .  & fun just use a heat gun (paint striper ) to shrink em'

 

Just google heat shrink marine tubing key words...  I like the $15 dollar kits that lasts a yr...   They come in a box of 67 sizes so you can interlap them on lures n stuff

This one has the ring of a winner to it!  I bet you could really call them up from the bottom with this one.  bucktooth.gif

I also caught several smaller cod and a couple haddock. About two drops after pulling in this one I fought a nice cod about half way to the boat before it went slack. When I pulled in the treble had broken off.

 

This year I plan to make a jig out of a lead filled Barbie and also some type of Banana inspired jig (don't believe in that superstition crap).

Why would you do that to a nice american made wrench. Didn't you have a stripped POS Chinese one around?  :D

 

Buy American and buy Local!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

On a side note, I made a blue fish lure omce out of a potato peeler liberated from a rented cottage's utility drawer!!!!!!!!!!

Do cod prefer standard or metric wrenches? :squid:
