Who has used one?
05-13-2023, 09:01 AM
Found a box of these in my storage building and it brought back memories from when I was a kid. I bought a box full when a store was selling them on clearance for a dime each. Used to harass the mud cat in our old pond with them regularly.

I had and used about 30 of those when I was a kid.. Late 70’s early 80’s.
I used them for catching perch for yellow cat bait.
