Castuserraticus Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Better be careful. The stuffed animal protectionist groups will be camped outside your door. Better add a disclaimer to the website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 When I was down at Christmas Island all of the guides used a similar tool to release fish without using net. I bought one off them the 10 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonAndersen Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Badger, Got some bike spokes and gave it a shot. Here is what I came up with. Am going to inset a rare earth magnet into the cork for attaching it to this or that. Need to order some magnets from Lee Valley. Mine are either too big or small. The cork was to have it float in case it went swimming. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonAndersen Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Badger, Just a chunk of butt section that gets cut off when the rod is built. Generally build various tools from them. Dubbing picks and rakes are usually don't Out of needles for the picks. Got lots of cane sections. Give them away @ various tying sessions. And thanx for the neat idea. Tried it a number of times on a hook that was stuck into a sponge. Worked fine. Does have a problem though. Made the twist for a right hander. If anyone is going to build another and you are right handed, make sure you get the twist going the right way for you. catch ya' Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
