Friday Funhouse

The Video of the Week
Substitute "fishing rod" for guitar and you can feel this guy's pain. Now gently weep.



Things I Would Buy If I Could Only Afford Them
This Record 3000 is a really, really rare reel. And it comes in a tin can!


This Stan Bogdan fly reel has attracted a HUGE opening bid.


It's not often you find a Mitchell presentation reel!


I love this Ed. vom Hofe Model 504.


Fin Nor made some unbelievably big reels.


This ABU Cardinal 54 is a great spinning reel.


A Phillipson Premium that's never been fished? I'll take two, please.


The Heddon Coast Minnow is one of the coolest saltwater lures ever made.


A Shur Strike Anteater in red scale is going to drive the Creek Chub collectors insane.


This Jim Donaly Jersey Wow is a terrific New Jersey fishing lure.


Meek made some awesome reels, including this No. 3 Kentucky reel.



When's the last time you've seen a South Bend Coast Oreno in the box for sale?


So, you say you're looking for a 1920s hand-crank trolling motor?


Your Heddon Spook Report: a River Runt Spook in Everready Water Wave.


Your Heddon Spook Report, Part 2: A Heddon Lucky 13 in photo finish.


This Hetzel saltwater bone jig means the Jig Age is upon us!


A CCBC Dive Bomber in Victory Finish is a great relic of WWII.


A wooden musky Jitterbug is one of my all-time favorite lures.


Reason #429 to buy every fishing tackle book while you can: Johnny Garland's Bagley Book.


These two old Michigan spearing decoys would make a great display.


A Pflueger Kihoga is an often overlooked big game reel.


A pair of Worth Flutter Fins would make a great addition to a spinning lure collection.



As always, have a great weekend, and be good to each other--and yourself.
