Ok
Drove to Sweet home one time to get the detector fixed.
Ok
The days when we had hair, now it's a Fry'r Tuck thing going on.
Query WD: What's with the leaf fan rake in the living room?
OBW! Good morning WD (was going to say sunshine-but that would too bold)
And I would probably be told.
You Hold now!
I was a wondering -full stop!
You mow in such eloquence, flowing dress and all.
Morning RC3/4 oz. DareDevils are good staples. Cast far or troll.
A sinker on a three way swivel can be used to ply deeper water with if a downrigger or dipsy or other option isn't at hand.
PinkLadies used to be the go to for taking a lure down when I was a kid. Felt like dragging a cabinet door though!
1/2 oz. spoons can pay off too at times. One made the difference for me the last time in Canada plying a remote inland lake with lake trout in it.
And speaking of Canada , it looks like you have a Williams Wobbler with the spoons. (4th from left.) Sometimes the answer to reluctant fish in Canada for a reason I don't have an answer to other than it's worth having when fishing Canada.
And to all gold hounds :what might a Williams Wobbler have to do with Gold?
#8 from left might be a Crocodile. A good to have if the action of a Williams Wobbler or a DareDevil isn't just right for a persnickety fish due to whatever the order is for a given days wobble.
Some of your spoons have barrel swivels attached to split rings attached to them. How a spoon (or any given lure) is attached can affect it's action.
From a knot , to a clip, to a swivel.
Swivels reduce line twist. But if it nulls a lures action too much , cause of line twist or how twists get stacked might warrant investigation.
Older baitcasting reels and how they were used could factor. One good "birds nest" could inspire use of swivels diligently and too heck with lure action!
Or the unlucky soul who had a reel with the line put on "backwards" / reversed wrap of the filler spools direction.
Some slip bobbers waving hello in the box. Good to have. Need beads and or at least stop knots to go with them. A piece of rubber band tied on the line might work. But let's not get desperate here!
Your Daredevil style spoon imitations might be stamped with a co. or U.S.A..
If the action is the same as originals they're worth using.
Lighter ones per length or altered shapes produce different wobble/action.
Not a bad thing per say. But a study with one in the water on the end of a line tells the difference.
Empty tobacco pouch? Where's the humidor / or bulk can stash it knew?
I don't know either. Owner didn't want stale smoke maybe and so emptied it before parking.
Splitshot sinkers are not getting any cheaper. Nice assortment there.
And finesse in weighting a slip float can put as much or little of ones top exposed as you want.
Less resistance the more it's weighed , but calm water better if just the white tip is all that's left exposed for the lightest bites detection.
Yet the amount of mass exposed in a breeze affects a float getting pushed by it.
Useful at times to move one , or slowly drag an offering along.
Not useful if you don't want it to move.
Keep it?
Depends how much tackle you have besides. Nothing wrong with options stashed to choose from before an outing for a couple few backups.
I usually leave the tackle in a used box acquired. After checking that plastics are isolated from rubber stuff . And rubber removed from any non wormproof boxes. Or allowed to touch anything painted.
