Anybody else have to go through this.  A simple stop after Dr. Appt. At Bass Pro, ended with some.minor tackle and a cheap $20 fishing rod for grandson, nor orange but kind of a burnt red and it will be identifiable at only his.  Sounds easy enough.  Well decided to take the cheaper Pfleuger Trion off of wifes crappie rod to put on new one, which ended with 4 rods out and reels getting switched around because wifes rod didn't need anything heavier than 6# fireline, well the reel on on my 6'6" St Croix that I walleye fish with had the perfect line on it, and I had also purchased a new spool of 8# Nanofil which would be perfect on the walleye rod.  2 hrs of switching reels around, etc.  all because I bought a $20 rod.  Of course it's a nice day to piddle around with gear and I am a bit run down so all in all worked out well.

I spent a pleasant couple hours this afternoon before the Mizzou game (wish I hadn't watched it) making a prototype wooden lure based loosely on a Whopper Plopper.  Basement garage door open, southwest sun shining in, really nice.

Can spend all day in my tackle/camping/fly tying area. Still have a bunch of stuff to unpack from Canada and the winter float a couple weeks ago. Gals are going to KC for the weekend in a couple weeks, plan to do then.

Here ya go, Scott. My pond is still frozen so I can't try it out in the water, yet.  

Edit...Found a corner of the pond that was open. It works but needs some tweaking and a bit bigger blade. Not quite as noisy as a WP.
