SPECIALTY TOOLS OF DA TRADE

[WAHOONBOX]

CAN YOU IDENTIFY ALL THE TOOLS BELOW? LET'S SEE IF YOU HAVE A CLUE HERE:



I DOUBT ANYONE KNOWS WHAT THIS TOOL IS:




HOW ABOUT THIS CREATURE THAT ATE A NAKED BALLYHOO THE OTHER DAY?



I KEEP TWO FILES READY AT ALL TIMES.....BOTH ARE IDENTICAL......I USE ONE TO ONLY SHARPEN USED HOOKS......NOTE THE DISCOLORED FILE...........AND I SAVE A NEW FILE FOR SHARPENING NEW HOOKS......ONCE A HOOK HAS HIT THE WATER IT GETS THE "DISCOLORED FILE AFTER THAT....



HOW ABOUT THIS PIECE? ANY IDEAS?



I THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE SOME SPECIALTY BAITS THAT WE USE WHEN THE MAHI FISHING GOES SOUR AND THEY ARE ALL PEANUTS AND SLINGERS....

Well I know a file brush when I see it. As for the "barbed" arrow, you carry your bow, to practice up for the fall? Shooting at flyer's maybe??? Marty I've not seen those "bubble headed" bucktail thing's before, they look like they'd do the trick. Frank

[N2theBlue]

love those funky bucktails. i've never seen them before, guessing they don't make them anymore?

oh, and thats a type of houndfish. don't remember the specific kind, but its in the family

[gottaflylee]

Yep, I got a clue... but not gonna spoil the fun...

Yup a file brush and a couple of flat ******* files....looks like single cut ones at that....that is definitly the right tool for the job, lots of people think a file is a file but they are not all created equally....... a double cut file would not give you near the sharpness as a single cut.

The file brush is called a "file card"
Been a long time since metal shop - not sure how I remembered that

kobalt side cutters, hard to beat them. i have a whole set of kobalt stuff, and if they go dull for w/e reason i brought em right back to lowes and they gave me a new pair, thats good service.


and they dont break the bank.
