Fishing

I am talking about those aluminum pliers. Like a salt water version that goes for $149. Probably if you bought a similar one in Sears for your work shop it might run you $25 or so. Anyhow I am not about to invest that much money for something that my other group of hardware could handle just as effectively. Do you own a pair or will you be springing for one in the near future?

This sucker sells for $155.00 and it isn't even made out of gold.

no I don't. But they are stylish and feel good in the hand.

disinfect your wading equipment. wash boat. disinfect livewells / sumps, wash ur dog

I have some made by Shimano. They were about $140.....less than those. That allowed me to get some extra materials for this, that, and the other.

I even had $20 left over for 2 gallons of California gasoline

Orvis also has them. I think they are made out of Titanium, which means they are light as heck.
I have to agree with the old man on this one, if you could go with out LOOSING them, they would last you for you entire life and probably three generations after you. In other words, you would only need to buy them ONCE! Abels are GREAT!

not disputing quality and generations etc.. but I look at it this way...

add $50.00 and I have a new rod...

thats at least three orders or more to bluefly for new flies.. that would end up being closee to 250 - 300 flies...

thats an extra spool for my reel plus a new fly line and leaving me enough to take the wife out to dinner (not fast food) so as to keep me out of trouble for ordering in more ff'ing stuff...

I'm a firm believer in Gerber Multi-tools. IMHO you just can't beat 'em.

Well my whole point was the darn cost of those pliers. Just for the hell of it I checked out the cost of surgical instruments and nothing seemed to cost what they want for those fishing pliers. Now if you gave me one or they were just a sawbuck or two well yea why not.

Im glad you said that.. I mean come on.. I am just starting.. wife has a heart attack when I say ff'ing order.. so trying to keep costs down a bit.. I only use the pliers or crush the barb.. I found a pair (I think orvis) for 6.00... but lost the darn link...

and that anothrer thing.. I find a good price on one item on one site.. then find a good price of another item on a second site etc.. why in the sam hill cant these big guys all carry common items for a reasonable cost??? i.e these pliers.. or a stripping basket ranging from 10.00 - 70.00 or so..

Happy Birthday little Bro. Dryrod, just guessing but I bet he is 52, which in that case maybe I should change my opener LOL
MF I think the ideal B-Day present would be the trip the "H" in September! Who knows, you could right it off as a learning experience! Wouldn't catching a 28" Hybrid make your year?!

Thanks Joni,

Nobody want to get out and wet a line more than I do. I have been cooped up in this room for so long now, that it's driving me up the wall.

When they sent me home from the hospital, it was in a wheel chair. I scoot from PC, to TV, to tying vice. I get around the house on foot quite well now, and manage to cook and eat more than I should. This week, I plan on getting out and going through my wood work shop, and playing around with my fishing equipment. (toons, trailer, boat, etc.) Also plan on getting out and finding some tying materials, I'm running out. Either visit Dennis or make a trip to SW.

If things go well, I will get on the water soon. This fishing vicariously through the reports here on the forum are enjoyable, but getting stale.

Happy Birthday to you also Saberfish. Too bad that they don't have a site like the FMB [sister site] that lists the day's birthdays. Good excuse to spring for a Boo. LOL
