New Project --- "The Catfish Reaper"

[ogberi]

Re: New Project

You need to try some "magic string." It's a single elastic thread on a little bobbin. just hold the liver on the hook's eye, drape it on the shank and start winding, pulling the string tight. it wraps even partially liquid liver up good. when i cut it off the hook to rebait, i drop it in a ziploc bag, then dispose of it properly so i don't strangle some poor bird with it. breaks easily enough, though.

Mix some crushed garlic with your liver. Absolutely reeks, won't wash off your hands, but catfish *love* it.

Working on the second rod holder. Should complete today. Then cosmetic work and on to the anodize Monday. Need to decide on a color. I was thinking Green?

Green is okay but my favorite is medium Maui blue metallic pearl. Wonder if that's possible. :thinking:
