That is such a neat item to have. Very cool!
That is really cool, thnx for sharing the pic, think I will make one out of some of all that scrap lumber down in the shop sometime.
I remember my grandpa having one similar to that when I was a kid. He used it mostly for catalpa worms. Brings back some good memories. :thumbup:
That is pretty cool.
I remember my uncle having one like that when I was a kid. When he died we got it, didn't last long with us kids.
That's a great keepsake. Love that vintage homemaker fishing stuff. It would look killer in ANY man cave.
That's one antique with memories attached. Neat!
way back then we made ours and I trapped roaches in the stores around for bait. that was before crickets. some bait shops sold roaches back then.
I'm afraid I wouldn't fish if I had to touch a roach. Lol I'd rather use spiders.Quote:

I've probably got several of the boxes like the one smooth has that we built and may have one of the domed roach traps I used to trap them.
