[cool][#0000ff]Yeah, I know, this is a family forum. I ain't referrin' to what some of you might think.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Brett Prettyman had a writeup with pics in today's Tribune on some of the exotic types of fish hooks (fish traps) that have been marketed over the years. [url "http://www.sltrib.com/outdoors/ci_4511897"]LINK TO ARTICLE[/url][/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]It is easy to see that many of these were designed more to catch fishermen than fish. Kinda like some of the stuff we see today.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Anybody have any of these old contraptions in their "heirloom" collection? Got anything else that falls into the same category that you might wanna share with us...to purge your conscience?[/#0000ff]

Now THAT'S how I could increase the hook-up ratio. Imagine some of those in a cluster of spawning fish!

[cool][#0000ff]My guess is that you DON'T want to imagine those in a cluster of spawning fish. The buzz bomb bozos do enough damage already.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Wonder how they would work on burbot.[/#0000ff]
