Friday Funhouse


The Friday Funhouse

Video of the Week

Man, I just hate these videos where people film themselves doing the ordinary...like surfing behind a Great White Shark by using a fishing rod...



Things I Would Buy If Only I Could Afford Them

Remember the Wigart's Glirr we helped to ID in the UNID files? Well, now you can get one of your very own.


It's Arachnophobia, folks: people are going ga-ga over this Turner Spider.


This is one massive Fin Nor reel.


Here's a gorgeous spring loaded trap/hook.


A Heddon Black Sucker is always cause for a celebration.


Your Weekly Lure Poem:

Oh Pflueger Maybug
Years ago you were two bills
Now: at least one large.


Billinghurst, oh Billinghurst. I love you. There, I said it.


This is a very, very pretty creel.


Martin Bradford's Sign of the Angler in Boston was one of the oldest tackle shops in America; here is a classic Bradford of Boston reel that certainly dates from the Civil War.


This King Wiggler in original box is an interesting combo.


A Halik Fly Rod Frog (with the legs) has attracted some intense bidding.


A Heddon Tad Polly intro box is a nifty thing. Maybe Labuznik should have added it to his Super Bowl of Boxes.


Instant Collection Alert: Five VERY scarce South Bend fly rod lure boxes for one bid.


Here's a gorgeous combo: Heddon Jointed Musky Vamp in Allen Stripey and box.


A very, very rare color for a Heddon River Runt: Green Pike Scale.


Falls City floating minnow buckets are nifty pieces.


Gotta love the Sockdolager .


A nice lure from the Enterprise Manufacturing Company archives.


Love this monochrome CCBC Pikie. Life is sweeter in black-and-white.


This Polly Wog by Moonlight has curves that would make Hogarth proud.



As always, have a safe and happy Super Bowl weekend--and be good to each other, and yourself.
