NICE TO HAVE AROUND THOUGH MIKE to think of the old days . Course I have lllllllloads of old stuff now and can't remember who I got it from or why in most cases !!!! THE RODS I have here is a different story though . All except the ones I use most often in warm weather , have a small tag on em with info of where gotten etc. IT's all written down in a big binder in my safe so I can look anything up if need be....

David, Never had a problem with rusting, but then I only used them for ice fishing, so they never got wet. However speaking of getting old and slow. I thought I had 3 of these. The other day I discovered 
I have 5. And now I don't ice fish.

Mike , mmmmmmmmmmmany years ago I used these . Did have some rust problems with hooks though. Switched to Wheatly's outta England , same problem with moisture. Now I use only the plastic and foam models and they all have a Lanyard hook molded right into em . I just put a small spit ring in the hole and and hook a small snap to the lanyard line, put the whole works on over my shoulder and have enough bugs for the whole day.

You're a good man, Lucky. I'm sure you can.

I like the idea if attaching a lanyard , Mike. I need to do that

I can appreciate that McSruff.

I never lost one, but that's probably because they were always in the tray in my ice fishing box when I wasn't changing a lure. The instructions on the box tell you to attach one end of a piece of mono to the swivel and the other to a safey pin to keep from losing the box. I never did :).

Very true. I always open my jig box up and let it dry overnight after a day on the ice.

these old boxes have 1 advantage over the new ones,they have holes in them so the flies dry.waterproof and floating is great but it also seals water IN.nothing good about rust and rot
