finbar Posted August 12, 2022 Report Share Posted August 12, 2022 What are your favorite old or new fishing-related tools or accessories? Which one do you miss the most when you forget to bring it along? My 2 choices: My new Zacx hook remover - really good for gut/gullet hooked bass. Second one is the old stand-by 'jaw spreader' - especially ice fishing for Pike/Pickerel. (why be a blood donor?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff270 Posted August 12, 2022 Report Share Posted August 12, 2022 My Boomerang line cutter. Does anyone know where the love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSeggs Posted August 13, 2022 Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) Most fun & rewarding have been lure molds. Diamond jig, casting spoon, & crippled herring. I now sit and ponder things like modifications, non-toxic alloys, paints, hooks, techniques etc etc. Edited August 13, 2022 by PSegnatelli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like this. The smallest 2 are really tough to pour. But caught some trout on them. this was the first pour. Stone cold mold with a bismuth/tin alloy. size 1 & 0 eyelets. 0 are really a pita to put in mold.

giggyfish Posted August 13, 2022 Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 Thanks Pseg’s, I’ve been eyeing that seller on the bay for a while. Gonna give them a shot I think. I haven’t really molded blade style lures much just jig heads and bucktails. I love catching on homemade stuff. PSeggs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giggyfish Posted August 13, 2022 Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 It’s for winter flounder in Quincy bay. If it doesn’t help it gives my two little girls something to look at. Sandbar1, Jeff270 and PSeggs 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fyi they also have a long scissor like model available in addition to the smaller cutter finbar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
