Tackle hoarders, what have you picked up lately???

[Brewcrafter]

You'll need a couple of birds and a hen house too.  Right?

Steve - We will know PJ has gone "all-in" when we see him with a pair of barber scissors hanging around the polar bear enclosure at the zoo....   - john

I got into the fly tying game for a bit just to target bluegills and redear sunfish (shellcrackers) in local waters. I could see it being a dangerous path. I tied a years' supply of san juan worms and they work so well even under a float, that I seldom use anything else.

I have a Lew"s laser lite 50 size spinner on a 8ft scientific angler fly rod ,used to be my fav bream setup.It wont fit in some rod holders so I dont use it much anymore but it was a blast catching a big stumpknocker on that one!

I bought more West Coast Jiggerz KB jigs and some Owner ultra split rings in size 7.... The SOA trips can't come soon enough

Just bought a new Tenkara pocket rod since the company I bought my first one from isn't making replacement parts anymore.

This rod stays in my flight bag or fire pack so I'm always prepared...

[Bill B]

Sweet !

[Gfish]

Always prepared is the consummate wildland fire dude. I had a nice Loomis 4-piece, 5wt., beater Orvis Madison and a tiny box of flies, but they stayed in the Red bag or the engine compartment.

Do you have a protective tube and a sock for that great rod, PJ?

Best, Fred

I bought the tube and sock when I ordered the rod.

Figured you already had it dialed in, PJ —-

But in case you didn't —- I was going to offer you this 15" Wright-McGill tube and a new sock at N/C.

I'll find a rod to go with this tube and sell it down at the round-about in about 9 days.

Best, Fred

Fred thank you for the generous offer! I learned a long time ago to buy protection when you buy a rod

I just go with Owner size 10 split rings and call it good!

The smaller rings are for the daytime and smaller jigs...

Where ia a good source to ge those socks (especially in that size). I've got that exact same tube and the 6 piece Eagle Claw Spin/Fly rod that came in it but hav been somehow missing the original yellow sack for many years. Russ

I get mine from Stephen Tomasovich, owner of Big T Fly Fishing, in Clarkesville, Georgia.  Good guy.  About $8.  These need to be hemmed shorter to accommodate a short 4-6 piece pack rod.  I generally buy a dozen at a time to save on shipping.
