Lures and Grandfather...

A pair of Pretty Faces...

Some Silver & Gold...

Well Rapped, or what, eh? :-)

Truth be known, if I had to pick only one crankbait (plug) out of my boxes, to fish with all day, it would have to be This particularily sweet little puppy, hands down! No guff here friends. I know this lure, intimitely and it's totally hand-tweaked for maximum efficiency, as you can well see in this picture. :-) Yes sir, Rapala's Shad Rap is my money bait, if I just have to catch a few fish, of any species, that eat minnows!

These shades are also Top Notch outdoors equipment that are a large part of my EDC stuff. That's Every Day Carry, for those folks not familiar with the abbreviation. Surprisingly perhaps to some, these well fitted and drilled hole frames, polaroid lenses and rubber nose pieces , add up to less cash than a spool of good line. I've had these Tortoise shell jobbies for three years now and still Love'em! :-)

Here's a pair of real cuties that have certainly earned their keep in this man's tiny tackle boxes. The boy on the right is the smallest Big-O made, to the best of my knowledge. IF it is still being made, even?

Two Bad Boys...

And now, I'll leave you with a good read, formulated by one of my favorite woodsmen/writers/teachers alive to-day...

Tom Brown Jr. Some of the stuff Tom shares with his readers could only have been done by Grandfather! What an amazing man he was!
