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!

I'm afraid I wouldn't fish if I had to touch a roach. Lol I'd rather use spiders.

scott, I had an uncle that lived in Paragould, ark that told me about a man from there that when he would get on a bed of bream he would take a roach and bait his hook and get another out of the box and stick in the corner of his mouth to be ready to re-bait fast. not me. but we did fish with lots of roaches way back then before crickets. 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.
