Friday Funhouse

The Video of the Week
Your video of the week is this clever fly fishing video parody.



Things I Would Buy If I Could Only Afford Them
A nice early Kent Frog Floater? Yes, please.


A pair of vintage Phillipson casting rods has attracted a lot of bidder interest.


The Hardy Fortuna is the largest reel Hardy Bros. ever made.


I'm not a creel collector, but this one might make me see the error of my ways...



We've not featured a Shakespeare Rhodes Mechanical Frog in some time. This is about as nice as they come.


This Outing's Getem in the box is a really beautiful combo.


A Heddon Stingaree dealer display is a great find.


A T.H. Bate & Co. New York ball handle reel is a super rare find!


Bronson made some great reels, and this is maybe their best: the Invader.


Your Texas Lure of the Week: the Doug English Super Bingo.


The Millsite Spin Size Daily Double is a pretty tough find, especially in the box.


I would love very much to fish with a Husky Dinger. I think it would be a fabulous lure catcher.


OScar Peterson was an incredibly talented decoy carver. This one is a classic.


The Pflueger Par is an ocean reel easy to overlook.


Storm has caught fire lately, and this Glop Lure is leading the way.


A Heddon Spin Diver in Green Crackleback will always have legions of fans.


The only thing that would make this CCBC Wiggler cooler would be a Toad van Houton lip!


This 1980s Hilberbrandt Salesman's Sample book is a nifty piece of tackle history.



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