Thats epic!

Thanks for the video

Boy id love to try that one day!

There is a difference between sharing what you have and being nice to others. I have a hard time sharing MY fishing rods and reels. Toddlers will stop doing enjoyable things just to be nice to someone who needs a little help.

Do you have kids?

Also, toddlers are not newborns

"Science says you were born nice"

?

 

I think I remember reading that they have 300,000 traffic deaths a year on average.

All of which occur during the driving test ???

That has to be one of the coolest reels I have seen in a long time. I sort of pick them up when I see them cheap at a garage sale or Antique store and they don't know what they have. I have paid much more than they were asking, it's just the right thing to do I think.

 

More pics Rick please on a solid back ground so I can see the details. Email them if you wish, what ever is easy.

 

I doubt it but is he interested in selling it? I know I wouldn't even if it wasn't my fathers. He only passed on his old sledge hammers and tools to me. He had an old axe that was marked "Tonys X" on it. I still howl when I use it.

Ill get better picks tonight. Its really nice work.

Ill ask him if hes willing to sell and let ya know.

Hes got alot of old reels etc. His house is like a friggen museum of cool stuff.

And just the most random stuff too.

You know the pictures of dogs playing poker? I know youve seen some variation of it.

He has one and its from 1846.

Rome or London?

Try India!!!!

 

Hahahah holy crap!

Do you even need a license to drive in india?

Imagine the road test hahaha

Doesn't Edmonton have speed cameras all over the city?

Not when I lived there, maybe now???

Its more on the outskirts where you see the gong show. Every jacket up truck in the world driving like idiots.

And dutch, of course, but this corner im talking about nobody is making it at high speeds, nobody. Well maybe a rally car driver lol.

Minneapolis is pretty gnarly

Worst drivers ive seen is edmonton

Ten vehicles in the same ditch every single morning on my way to work. Like seriously???

Its winter, dont take a corner at 110km per hour.

Every single day

Detroit was known as Murder City back in the day, a pistol grip handle might have kept the bad guys at bay?

Hahaha who knows???

After doing a lil research this guy invented a few neat gadgets in his day(anti vehicle theft devices etc)

Yeah its not light! I think the wood is walnut. Its very nice craftmanship though. I shoud take better pics

My guess would be fiberglass rod. See if I can google it lol

I figure that would be close to the weight limit of a boat lol. 6'10" prob be around 250lbs avg, 750lbs, plus yourself...maybe 180lb? So you're looking at over 900lbs lol.

The boat needs to be 5ft wider lol. Even a 20ft boat was unstable with these giants moving around lol

Braided line was the " thing " in those days, mono-filament was a new deal and was rarely seen on anything but a spinning reel. Nylon or Dacron braid, Dacron didn't have much stretch.

Maybe its nylon? Its def. Braided, but not like todays braid. Its very thick/soft and stretchy.

No friggen clue on the line???

Its kinda stretchy and thick in diameter.

Its soft in texture too

A buddy has had it sitting around forever.

It was his dads.

Its in pretty darm good shape too! Everything on it still works perfect.

I wonder what the age is on it? And what type of rod it would be paired with?

The insert on the top end is very small(the rod would insert into the reel)

Edit. A quick google search puts it at 1945-46

My buddy pulled this out of storage yesterday. Pretty friggen cool if ya ask me!

I fished with a few guys from the blue devils ages ago when they stayed on rainy lake at campfire island lodge.

It is not fun to be in a boat with 3 others that are 6'10" ish lol

who did what to me?!?!?!?!

I went fishing Monday with a few bud's and nobody "dominated me" there either

?????

Epic

Wickeď!!

Not cool at all.

Truly iconic candian band, and great people.

Ive seen them at least 6 or 7 times.

One more time would be nice. They put on a great show and im pretty sure they have never written a bad song

Carefull around Trudeau...he'll knock you out

Or elbow your man boob...

Beauties!

Nice fishing!

 

As a kid we just raked them all to the center of the gravel drive, where the weeds grow between the tire ruts, lit them and out came the weenies, foil wrapped potatoes and marshmallows.

Guy down the street is weird. Mowes his lawn 3-4 times a week and complains about it being brown.

Id like to tell him why but its funner to watch him repeat this over and over.

Let your gross grow dude! It choke out most weeds, and let it get to 5 or 6" before cutting it. And its not a golf green, dont cut it so darn low???

75-150lbs! Holy crap thats one big rodent!

 

Blower/Vacs are the best. You ever try to rake up 1 billion of these things? (I've got 2 maple trees on my property, lol!). The vac sucks them up and mulches them, basically turns them into dust. One of my fav yard tools for sure.

 

No ive never tried to rake them up bill. My lawn get cut thats it.

The only thing I rake is pine needles for fires. The rest doesnt bother me one bit, its a fricken lawn. It doesnt need one hair cut and about 33 shape ups lol

manitoubass2, your a shelter child...........LOL

Lol, no I just live in the bush were a leaf is a leaf. I dont feel the urge to clean up the forest lol
