I am in the process of setting up this room, dedicated to fishing, Computer & Reel shop.
(work bench & tools behind me, not shown).
Bought the house 2 yrs ago, and fixing it up as I go $$ ...
Getting around to this room is last priority. its functional but a mess...
The closet will (some day) be fully shelved for all the Terminal Tackle. Be nice to get it off the floor.
The Saltwater bags/boxes are full of Salt gear, irons, feathers, weights, ton of hooks etc....
Rod leaning over them is Jig stick, to long to stand up (hits the ceiling), that and fly rods will eventually be mounted on the wall?????

The Tennis rackets are for Tennis... LOL...
Back in the day when I could run around a court. :-(

Plus a Seeker Tuna stick with roller tip.

A new Dobyns D/S rod (Love it, I want more!!!!)...

Wonder why Im broke all the time??? LOL
If I could stop buying gear, I might have the $$ to fix up the room, or even go fishing?? LMAO !!

What do ya think about taking the doors off the closet and making it a full Terminal Tackle Shelved area???
Then 2 Fly Rods and Jig Stick etc??, Horizontal mounted on a wall???

Then line the walls with Pics from all over... Montana, Oregon, Washington, Sierra's, Offshore, almost every lake in So Cal, up to 7 day Tuna trips, Cabo several times... Man I got a brazillion Pics!!!!
My Man Cave !!!! ROTFLMAO .....

[smokinflies]

LOL. I thought you had a fishing use for those tennis rackets.

Man cave? More like a tackle shop.

Yeah the closet idea sounds cool. Now make some time to use all that gear instead of having it sit in a room collecting dust. :Wink:

Oh man that is a sweet looking rod, tell your dad I say welcome home! not all the Vietnam Vets have heard that yet from anyone. I said that to one who was at a booth last year at the Fred Hall show (not going to mention which booth). He had to walk away and turn his back to the people so they wouldn't see that he was crying. I went over and comforted him, he said thank you and appriciated it even though it was coming from a Marine, lol he was an Army Veteran. He told me that NO ONE not even his family has ever said welcome home, that it took a Marine who was born during that time (July 69) to say welcome home.

[fisherman from long beach]

thats very cool devildog,much props to you.and thank you and welcome home to all vets.

I've got a Budweiser can wrapped with 10 pound mono from 1982 that I use for dropshotting off the pier, using a spark plug.

Then my finesse combo is a Miller Lite can wrapped with 8 pound mono from 1989, that I use with my snelled bait holder hooks.

Finally, I have a Popsicle stick wrapped with 6 pound test that I use for trout.

What do you have the gap on that spark plug set for? Mackerel, Bass? Also if you want to get a setup for bigger game you can step up to the 16oz can..

[DockRat]

This is not a joke. Been bottle fishing in the Port of LA/LB for years.
Usually with swimbaits. The Baby Puss 4" in orange or green is a awesome plastic for bouncing along the docks. 50 + sand bass have been landed this way.

Since fishing is not allowed we must creative and low key.
Found these pics so you get the idea.

You have a 2 litter bottle with 50 pound for the bat-rays?

[Lady Quagga]

I've got a Budweiser can wrapped with 10 pound mono from 1982 that I use for dropshotting off the pier, using a spark plug.

I use a beer bottle instead of a can myself - one of those old straight-taper jobs.

I am sure my setup was the inspiration for Zebco's spincaster....

[DarkShadow]

I've found bottles don't have a reliable drag system.

Also, if u use braid, it has the tendency to slip. You can use a bit of tape and then put the braid on, and it helps a little.

My sponsor Miller Lite developed a bottle with a "vortex" neck that supposedly creates a real smooth drag. I am currently testing it out.

Nope just 16 oz. I did wing hook a big ray once and almost tore my arm off.

Drag and Braided line is for pussies, Braid has no stretch, no bueno.

Till you caught fish on a hand line, you don't know what your missing.

I fished in S Chile and saw this kid fishing trout with a coffee can.

I can't believe how much money some of you young guys spend on gear ???
Spend spend spend, I want, I want, I want.

I know! The other day my compa Phantom34 rolls up with 2 new combos, straight from Japan.

He had a Sapporo can AND an Asahi bottle, and then busts out some NGK spark plugs for weights. NGK!! Not even Boschs. I tried to trade him some of my Spitfires but he wasn't having any.

(He only uses Japanese.)
