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,,,,,,

I agree...Proof is great to deal with.

I squared the bottom edge, then cut 1/2" slabs on table saw. (Do outside if possible, as sends fine dust everywhere) I screwed (very short screws) a strip of 1/4" panelling (not shown) to rough bark side as guide to make 1st flat surface on underside, then removed screws and went from there...

3 coats of Hellman's spar varnish (satin). I apply the last coat while turning the grip on my rod turner, to ensure the finish levels out.

Thanks Mike, I picked up some dried ctnwwd bark chunks and ripped them into 1/2" thick slabs (with the grain. I then used a 1 1/4" hole saw to cut into rings. I glued (Titebond III) them onto a stainless steel mandrill (slightly larger dia than rod it is going on..to reduce reaming), clamped for...

It depends how many fucks you give.....more than one: #1....only one: #2
