Spoons In My Kitchen…

Posted by the fisherbabe, under fisherbabe

And I do not mean the regular kind of eating spoons…you know for cereal and stuff…I mean Cabelas Canadian Casting Spoons. There is also Trilene Line in various types and tests. What’s my point you may ask?? Well…I am beginning to feel like I live in a tackle shop and maybe a little like I am losing my mind…LOL

Just a few minutes ago, I found a Fishing Lure in my freezer. Yes…I was taking out some hamburger for supper and there it was. I hope that I did not actually place it there in some wierd completely unnecessary way. I am hoping that the hook got stuck on something that was actually meant for the freezer…but with me you never know. Which brings forth the previous question of “why are there Spoons and Trilene in my kitchen?

Before I became an avid fisherbabe and I first got married, I got really angry at my hubby for leaving his fishing tackle all over our house. I would put it up and there it would be again the next day…right there on our dining room table or on our couch. So we had a talk and he began keeping his stuff out of our living room. He really is a good, sweet fisherhubby.

Then a few years ago, the stuff started reappearing. I asked my hubby, “why did you leave your line in my kitchen?” His response was…”I did not leave my line in your kitchen. In fact, I do not have any line. I need new line. That, I believe, is your line.” My response, “WHAT THE HELL?”

It is now worse than I could have ever imagined, and today as I was cleaning and preparing for the arrival of my mother, I took to the basement:

10 spools of trilene line in various kinds and tests
1 brand new Shimano Cardiff 200a Reel
20 various fishing magazines
1 tackle box (unused)
4 cabelas canadian casting spoons
4 other types of lures
3 coolers
1 package of hooks
1 package of bobbers
1 hook out
2 packages of mosquito coils
1 jar of lure primer paint

AND IT WAS ALL MINE. YES ALL OF IT!!! I found it in my guest bedroom, my kitchen, my dining room, in my couch, under my table, and in my freezer. I think maybe I am worse than my hubby when it comes to buying tackle. And I still have no idea why there are fishing lures in my freezer…

Happy Cleaning ~

Laying The Hammer Down…

Posted by the fisherbabe, under Tackle Reviews, fisherbabe

Ok…so I understand being skeptical of fishing lures and their capabilities. I have had many comments and emails on my post “Top 5 Canadian Pike Lures” from people who either cannot believe that I would fish for Pike with these wimpy lures or cannot believe that their favorite lures are not included

I understand that we all have our favorites and ask my readers to keep in mind that these are just my favorites and I am not trying to discount your favorites.

As a matter of fact, I ask that you all comment and give me your favorite Pike lures. I would love to hear what works for you all or what you have caught your biggest Pike on. I would actually like to try them out. So please comment and let me know what your favorites are

I got a number of requests for the picture of the Cabelas Generic that is # 2 on my list. I have decided to post it here today as a special treat for my readers. Please remember that this lure is discontinued and therefore must be handpainted to be replicated.

This is the original Cabelas Generic Lure. As you can see, they have both been used and have quite a few bite marks…on many trips the Generic and the Hammer come back with no paint at all.

I stole this one from my husbands tackle box for this photo…I hope I am not fighting a divorce tomorrow…LOL!!! As many of you know, he refused to give me one of these lures even as a wedding present!!

This is the Generic that I handpainted using the red and white Cabelas Canadian Casting Spoon. It looks much like the original and moves

the same way. It can be a frustrating process however to paint one of these on your own. I enjoy lure painting though and always

paint a few lures before each trip!! You just never know what is gonna be the hot lure for those PIKE!!

This is the famed “Orange Hammer”. I am posting this picture to show those skeptics who cannot believe this lure is great just how great it is. I know it does not make sense why Pike love it but, as you can tell from the lack of paint on the lure, they LOVE IT!!!

So there it is…a family secret that I may get into BIG trouble for telling…but oh well!!!! See there…I am willing to risk divorce for my readers!!

Please keep checking back soon ~ I intend to run a contest soon and maybe you will be the one to win one of these famed “Generic” Pike Lures!!!

Happy Fishing and Happy Lure Making ~
