No just looking for a pic and that came up, do have a couple of .22 CIL Whiz Bang boxes kicking around

These are the ones I shot, I had forgot that the case was copper , they were just loose in the box

I got a .22 single shot , Winchester 67 , at 13 but all dad would let me shoot around the property at crows and groundhogs etc were BB caps. CIL bb caps came in a box of 100 for a buck and a quarter at the hardware store, they were actually more expensive than the CIL Whiz-Bang hp Long rifles at 50 cents a box of 50

I worked with and fished with Bill Spicer a few times back then, he bought the Grice and Young when I got one of Lorne's Stantons, this was well before Bill's fly fishing gig. The Stanton was followed by a gold Smith and Smith Streamaster which went on the IM6. I wasn't a fan of the line getting behind the spool of the Avon, I still have visions of pink Ande wrapped up there

I had a grey Premier 1562 before the IM6, looks like a black Grice and Young Avon there. Buddy that got me into float fishing had a 3 piece Lamiglass graphite 13 footer, it was a heavy blank in weight, Loomis was still working for Lamiglass I think when it came out

Old school , pretty much what's on the end of my IM6 1562 that i put together late 80's, way nicer seat though 👍

Years ago Dad had a cottage on Loon, we'd get them and good size too, but it was a night bite always because of the clear water, probably could count the ones we incidentily caught daytime on one hand in 20 years

Love the hat, wore one of those more than 20 years

How about bringing back 'Drive Clean " while we are at it 🤬

Yeah, never used the snowblower once last year in Grimsby, had the present vehicle 3 years now , only 11,000 km , only venture out in good weather in winter , 16 years retired and with the cost of living going up , money is getting tight , not getting snows

The latest ban got those on the right, except the Colt revolver

I take it your 5.56 was on Justin's recent hit list

Retired 16 years , had present vehicle 3 years and put 11,000 km on it, probably only 2000 of that in winter and last year the snowblower didn't get used so not in a snow belt, be damned if I am shelling out big bucks for snow tires here on the south shore of Lake Ontario . Never put snows on my first front wheel drive car either , a '76 Rabbit and I put that through all sorts of backroads and snow when I was younger hunting rabbits and coyotes. last snows I bought were bias ply and only on the back of a '79 GMC van

Keep your Windows updated and don't worry about an antivirus

Dip netting is not a legal means of angling for most sport species , usually just legal bait species, smelt and coarse fish, there was an actual season that it was permitted as well. You really need clarification from a C.O.

google lens says it is a fuse and the centre area should be filled with black epoxy and probably a thin lead strip https://www.ebay.com/itm/164838245538

Mine was on one of those brackets you raise up and down, never trusted it , took the kicker off to trailer any distance

Yeah , that the one, I sold mine mine to Bill Spicer back when he fished with other than a flyrod, that reel probably drove him to give up centerpinning.

HAHAHA , mine is one of those LG Stantons as well, I just thought they were real Stantons that Lorne put one of his stickers on , mine has the knurled rim that I actually like and handles, buddy got there late , he had one of the handleless ones . I do recall they came with a gawd awful long reel seat foot that took a bit of filing to get into the seat on my rod. Was a a step up from the Grice and Young Avon that I got there as well, hated it when line got behind the spool

Don't see any clicker, loved running an old clickerless Stanton, gotta maintain contact with the spool at all times fighting a fish or a mega overrun, beautiful reel edit; didn't look cool but a hair scrunchie around the handle worked well for travelling between drifts

About the same here, starting getting supplies from L.G Tackle when Lorne was still operating out of the basement, remember a 17 foot Whaler parked in the drive. Store in Welland was also selling Browning Silaflex blanks back then, they were a pretty decent fiberglass as well

Yeah , that's old school, pretty close to the same cork dimensions I built back late 80's, reel well towards the butt. What is that a 6 inch spool ??

I found that my IM6 1562 had a lot more balls than my 1562 Premier 96% graphite

I don't know about that, back late 80's a 35 pounder and 2 bits would get you a cup of coffee in the Star Derby, now you are a weekly winner if not the whole ball of wax, they already have the capability to grow larger than what we see today, yeah food is the problem

Always liked the Model 19's better than the newer 586 with the full underlug, could be a 29 too
