My buddies and I have gotten a little competitive, trying to outdo each other with our crabbing rigs. I thought |I'd pulled out all the stops by adding a bicycle grip streamer to the handle of mine....Then a buddy sent me this: With hat-mounted drone, various go-pros and a sonar...

Very good idea. IMO, a breakaway link not so important in smaller flows, but, in big flows, should be emphasized as a safety must..

I've been thinking a lot about this lately, so thought I'd open up a discussion, as it may prevent some grief for someone in the future. Here goes: I've seen quite a few posts re different configurations for wading staff tethers. They vary from very light strength, to some, I'm sure, that would...

A friend wondered why his new Simms waders suddenly leaked everywhere...Turns out his daughter borrowed them to go picking blackberries.

I'm sure it would. The extreme duty one has 14 oz pull tension and a lock button.

I use a Boomerang scuba retractor (14 oz tension) to keep the grip at my hip...out of the way, but handy on short notice.

I'm wondering how many actually use the wrist strap on their wading staff. I never use one, or even have one on my own staff. I'm interested in opinions. ( I may modify my Riverstick design accordingly)

I was raised in Nanaimo, but haven't heard of these. I'll do some asking around and see what I can find.

They do get suspicious when they see the pot of boiling water, tho.... :unsure:

Yes.Not allowed to use metal rake for crabbing in BC. I made this out of a plastic spatula and ran it by fisheries officer. He said fine, as it is flexible and doesn't harm crabs.

Built a few of these for beach crabbing this year. It costs money to save money on crabs.

Then, of course, if you can convince your wife to fly fish, the formula would be: R+N = 2(R+N) (Pretty sure this is quantum physics?)

I worked out this algorithm as an aid to the decision-making process where: R= number of rods N= number of reels needed formula: R=N Can't algue with algebra

"How many fly reels do I need?" You sound like my wife,,,,,,
