  1. Yep, great reels, simple in design and durable. I still have 4 of them that get frequent use but admittedly I have replaced the worn out leather drag washers in all of them, more than once.

     

    They're only true weakness was broken bail springs! Fortunately I still have a couple of sets left.

     

    But hey they still work. :)

    out of curiosity, didnt red fisher back in the day swear by them?To this day I cant get my bud to part with his.

  2. Well I have been tractoring for 9 hours today and still havent reached the road. The blade does nothing so it is scoop a bucket and then turn to the side and dump....repeat a gazillion times. The monotony breaker is get the tractor unstuck. This is a big tractor too.

     

    If I find out Canada "attacked" us on purpose I'm comin up there in June and drowned all of your muskies at Lak Air :P

    Hamilton, ontario sent it your way and took the chains for your wheels. :blink: Just a little sarcasm my friend.
  3. Cliffs' thread got a few old timers (Me excepted) into sayinging how we have put time and effort into learning about fish and techniques...

     

    Well coming with that--I'm sure we've all done some lets say, less than Einsteinian things over the years...

     

    Here's a couple of mine (course there's more)

     

    1/ Being a kid growing up in the North End of Hamilton----just dying to fish anywhere---1st ice out used to be in Spencer's Sewer --I mean creek in Dundas

    I used to ride my single speed bike out there like in March or early April and fish for suckers---being a kid--no arthritis---so friggin cold I could hardly move my fingers to thread a worm---that's kinda harmless

     

    2/ This one's better---when I was 18 I took a job with "The Bay" and they posted me in Northern Saskatchewan---so I landed there a few days before my winter gear (with my boots)---this was like May and the ice was still on but snow mostly gone----so I heard you could catch Grayling (Something I had'nt done)

    in the Fond Du Lac river about 5 miles outta town----so genius decides to walk the slushy ice in running shoes to go fishin with a 20 dollar outfit I just bought at The bay---I did make it---caught zip---seen some though---decided to take a camp road back to town----got somewhat lost---made it out though---yep lots of thought went into that fishin trip where Dudley Greenhorn tours wolf country tryin to catch a fish.

     

    Next....

     

    Bushart

    Still looks and smells like one esp at cootes drive.Mind you they replaced the railing at crooks hollow over the dam.Still looks like a sewer drain to this day.Just my 2 cnts worth
  4. I need some help here. How come when I enter salmon jigs into the search engine I get everything from how you spent your christmas vacation to why I quit smoking. Who cares I want info on jigs. I know there is lots of people here who make jigs and I am looking to purchase some. I would rather buy jigs that are made by fisherman/woman that use them themselves because they use the proper components etc. I ordered some from B.C. and want to compare the difference. Thanks in advance.
    Give bigugli a shout.He is also in the fishing classifieds.
  5. Quick question

     

    Where is throttle position sensor located on these vehicles?Is it in the ecu or attached to the fuel pedal?

     

    I have come across this with trucks that I have worked on, but the sensor is attached to the fuel pedal.Most complaints were irregular or no acceleration or even once wot.All deisels mind you.

     

    A similar pedal problem occured recently blocks away from my neck of the woods.I dont know the full details,but Im sure it was one of the first fatalities.Husband runs over his wife in his driveway,if im correct.

  6. Then stop shopping there! I remember the first women that told Leah she could spank one of our daughters, while standing in line in the grocery store. That women is probably still seeking mental aid....
    I stopped shopping there.And for the one that criticize me.She was mental for sure.Welfare mama.Telling me what I cant do!I handed her my cell and dialled 911 myself.I told her to think about what she said.And she may need the peremedics.Welfare mama with 4 bags of junk food and her kids with her!I guess thats 4 gourmet meals for the kids.
  7. Besides cutting grass and shovelling snow... first real job.. working for the competition a 1/4 mile down the street.. at 12 years old.. sorting bottles and stocking the shelves... .95c/hr.. 1974... I got all the way to 1.95 by the time I was 15 !! lol

     

    And you're right Vince.. you can't tap them in the butt.. but ya sure can spank them !!

    Not infront of walmart my friend.
