Chum Can

[Tailgunner]

Well, it has finally happened.  The old chum can has seen better days.  While I could probably make one, I would like to find a similar replacement.  This old friend is shaped like a copper cowbell with a release door on the bottom.  Does this sound like anything that any of you "Ice Brothers" may have seen at any of the sports shops in the area?  Thanks guys..........

i've seen those at martels. well, it used to be martels.. i don't know if the new owner carries them but i know they used to.

Most all the bait shops carry them.

AJ'S in meredith may still have them, little expensive though.

I've seen those at Steve's sportsmen shop in Hooksett. Was gonna buy one but I didn't like the price.

Yup to Martel's...got mine there 25-30 years ago, William's brother Gerad and Albie Merrill used to make them and sell them there at the shop.  I paid $5.00 for mine...imagine that!!  I've seen some since in this area but can't put a handle on just which shop, maybe the old K & M over in Franklin.

Aj"s in Meredith. He had some on the wall last week. $20 or $25, can't remember which

they got em at KTP, does chummin really help with the laker fishing? Thinkin of tryin one out.

It seems to help bring them in when its slow.  Also I use it at the end of the day to put leftover bait down. From my experience, this keeps them coming back every week.  They must get used to feeding at the same spot or something.
