NO - STALGIA - lonehunter - 06-07-2003
REMEMBER WHEN YOU COULD GET A BAG OF BOBBERS FOR A BUCK ? I BOUGHT A COUPLE CHEAP BOBBER HELD TOGETHER WITH PASTE FOR .79 CENTS , ONE CAST BOBBERS , ONE CAST WERE ALL THEY WERE GOOD FOR . A GOOD BOBBER NOW RUNS BETWEEN A BUCK OR A BUCK FIFTEY , REAL FANCY ONES ARE AS HIGH AS FIVE BUCKS !
NO-STALGIA IN THESE PRICES THATS FOR SURE ! LURES WERE $2.00 TO $25.OO A PIECE . WELL IT'S TIME FOR THIS GUY TO REVIVE SOME OF THE OLD PASTIMES OF THE 40'S AND 50'S . BUILDING AND CARVING YOUR OWN LURES .
I KNOW , YOU MIGHT THINK IT'S CRASY , BUT A PACKET OF SNAP RINGS , SOME TREBLE HOOKS , SOME WIRE FROM THE HARDWARE STORE , PAINT AND A BRUSH , AND THE OLD POCKET KNIFE FOR WHITTILING . THAT'S GOTTA BE CHEAPER THAN THE BUCKS THEY WANT FOR SOME OF THESE LURES .
OH YEA , BAND AIDS TOO , IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I'VE WHITTLED !
