Quote from oldtime:
on a side note, my old galvanized minnow bucket finally rusted through. I guess they don't sell them anymore. My grandaughter has very quick hands. I may get her one of these new fangled yellow plastic buckets and a bunch of minnows and see how she does. I think that's what they will be hitting this fall. Too old to tie for her anymore, no eyes, no problem, I can tie on a dark night just putting the eye up to my tounge and feeling the line, but my problem is no teeth to grab the line. Gotta get some number 2 aberdeen snelled so I don't get frustrated in front of her. Or maybe better yet, I should just teach her how to tie.
Several thoughts Sir
I may have a spare if you want it (nothing like an original)
Ever use crickets?
Ever visit Monroe (spent a lot on time there w/ my Granddad)
Get some magnifying glasses
Here's a set up to try;
Place a slip sinker at the bottom...then two hooks tied off above (1 about a foot up/ the other 18" to 2 ft above) the sinker - on ~ 1' leaders
Gets your bait at different levels.., and allows it to swim/ act natural
Catching doubles on an ultralight - is a kick in the pants
