Looks like a handy contraption. Also, for the last 3-4 years I don't go in a river without my collapsible wading staff.

Had a blast this year down on the outer banks, got a total of 4 red drum! All in the surf! 
What a battle those fish give!

That was weekend activity for us. Each of the kids had a old-fashioned casting reel, and we would put a rubber plug on, and target practice hitting a hula hoop at the far side of the back yard. I got pretty good at it. 

Then we would go fishing, and Dad would point to the spots where we wanted to plant our lure for that lunker. Fond memories.

RichC, waders on on the list!

You fly fish or thinking about taking it up?

I have a collection of all, even some bamboo fly rods. I have my Grandparents Pluegers and my Dad's Ted Williams stuff. I have my rods and reels from flipping sticks to spin casters I owned since my foray into bass fishing. I have special gear for special things, like mudcat fishing. Not a salt water fisherman. I grew up on Zebco 33s, also have an old lure collection since I was a kid. My sunroom has a collection of mounted fish I caught over the years, needless to say fishing was an integral part of my life.]]> Fri, 27 Oct 2017 16:37:05 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10846&PID=101411#101411 Baitcasters, Spinners or Fly : That's a beauty.My Dad... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10846&PID=101388#101388 Author: GlueGuy

That's a beauty.

My Dad had a collection beyond belief. Hundreds, maybe a few thousand lures that he had collected over the years. When he ran out of room in the tackle box, he bought another tackle box. There were dozens of tackle boxes in the boat house when we were settling the estate. Some of the lures were hand-carved wood, and were actually quite valuable individually. I was amazed.

Then we got into looking at all his rods and reels. He had at least one of darn near everything I had ever heard of. Open face, closed face, fly fishing, you name it. Sadly, I have not had the same bug in me, but that is another story.

What are you fisher persons using these days? I recently became a baitcaster convert after a whole lot of field practice.

Also, I've been reconditioning/repairing a few spinning reels on the shelf and came across a great source of spare parts:  http://stores.ebay.com/JDL-Treasures1/Fishing-Reel-Parts-/_i.html?_fsub=571347519

Had a broken oscillating gear on a little Shimano Sahara. For a couple of bucks those guys came through with the exact replacement. Thought that was cool.

Pulled this beauty off the shelf: Shimano Bantam 1000 Tournament Baitcaster



Can you tell I need to go fishing!?
