Hey thanks for joining in the Hunt For Amazing Sinkers!
Got my old hand carved sinker shined up. It's about an inch long.

What's playing on the boombox? SLAYER!?!

I found a few over the years but never thought about researching them. They went into the junk piles.

Very cool!What year did you find it?

 

[Pocket Spill]

Great band!

 

[Lowbatts]

Great band!

Yeah, I like Slayer too!

Hey PS, next time you hit the dirt with Rob he'll have to relate his experiences of the great fish barrage on the Fox. He got his chest shaved by a two-pounder and we got t-boned by torpedo carp a couple times. I'd setup a camera in the pointy-ended boat but the way they fly across it they'd knock it in the drink.

I found this in 1997...I tried a few others and the #s dont match and some are colored and have only a few #s and others are smashed, still going through the junk boxes looking for the rest..Thanks again for the link..
