FISHING TIP # 283

EASY ON THE FINGERS WIRE TWISTING TOOL

 

This is a photo of a handy little tool I keep with my wire twisting tools.
It is nothing but a 3/8" SS washer with a slot cut into it. I use it when forming eyes and attaching hooks, swivels and lures to heavy single strand wire.

Making a good Hay Wire/Bale Twist in #12-#18 gauge wire is mighty hard on the fingers. The washer is far easier to use than Pliers.

 

Life is too short to catch little fish.

Yep, that was my charterboat website and general website too.  Long time ago.

I need to get out more... Please accept my very belated  to the PFF board...

May the holes in your net be no larger than the fish in it.

Capt. Ken - I was on that board with you prior to it's "changing". I wasn't able to make any of the bashes, but really wish I had. Nice to re-connect. Do you still run the same boat? I thought I recalled seeing it for sale some time ago. Also, sorry to high-jack your thread!

The old Whopperstopper board went through several name changes and is now bigbendsportsman.com   The core group of members changes as people enter and leave but there are a whole lot of the original members there.  There are some really fine folks and good fishermen too.

After a bunch of years of running the show, I kinda got tired of it and now log on about 1-2 times per week.

I sold my boat and now fish out of my yak or a 16' Aluminum boat.  Now days I'd rather fish out of the yak.
