    Red face Looky what I found!

    Have mercy on the photos. these are cell phone camera photos and I was so excited to find this stuff I was almost shaking. This is stuff that regular suppliers don't have and can't get. Much of it hasn't been available for 40+ years and it is right here in town with me.


    Rice and Gudebrod Silks 00 and size A Jaspers, and many colors not seen for 40+ years. I'll have to pay through the nose for some of this. The old silks were so much better. Not nearly as many fuzzies and the colors!




    Size A nylon even some classic twist! The pics stink but the colors are so vivid. Boxes and boxes of thread.

    Better grab what you can. Tried some of the new threads and did not like them.

    That's a real find. Does he have any old Mustad hooks or even other old ones?

    You should buy it all up and resell it here some of it here on the forum. Some beautiful threads there.

    No hooks. Just all the vintage rod building stiff anyone might want. I was pretty sure I had died and gone to heaven.

    If you can't swing buying all of it, we should all get together and make a community purchase.

    When you can arrange your affairs to go fishing, forget all the signs, homilies, advice and folklore. JUST GO.
