I found a bonus while checking things out. Haven't been into my ice fishing gear for apparently a few more years than I thought. Tip up gear, that is. And what to my unbelieving eyes did I find, not 1, not 2, but 5 sewing needles that aren't made anymore!! You know, the six inch long and flexible ones for threading the line through baitfish? A little steel wool and they are just as smooth as the day I bought them. Took a little nail file from my daughter to the ends of my flags, nice and smooth flowing now.....my friend in Conn who i used to fish with is jealous, he doesnt have any more of them, and we were told the company went under. Wonder how much I could get for them on a tourney weekend?
