legal .... not so much :o
First off, it's illegal to destroy/deface any US Currency. Secondly, calling it a "microspoon" may be a copyright infringement on this person's product - Home - Micro Spoons & Jigs
... cp :cool:
more than one company makes micro spoons so that parts done with and two i just used pennys just to get my idea across you can use any small metal disk such as a token from chuck e cheeses
You never laid pennies on a railroad track when you were a kid CP?Quote:

I heard about putting coins on a railroad track, and trains running over them & flattening them out (which my homies & I thought would be "cool") ... but, I also heard rumors that it "could" cause the train to derail :p so I never gave it a second thought.

Actually I wouldn't even worry about the penny and using it. Six Flags, Disney, busch gardens and many other biggies have machines where you put in a penny spin the crank and it flattens the penny and puts the logo from where you're at on the penny for a soveigner.
They haven't been busted for defiling currency yet so a couple for fishing lures I dont' think would be a big deal.

When I was a kid penny candy was a penny too!... and some were 2 for a penny! A little 6 oz. bottle of Coke was 6 cents and the machine would only take a nickel and a penny and wouldn't make change!Quote:

Thank goodness it didn't derail the train!!!:D I wish I still had those pennies, but I will always have the memory!
I think dimes would make better spoons, but you can buy Colorado and willow leaf blades for about the same price and they'll work even better!
MAN,you must be OLD,lol.
I thought every one had flattened a penny on the RR track ... having spent my younger years close to 2 rail lines ... us kids nearly got our behinds warmed over putting "Coal Slag" on the track ... when a train ran over it you would get a big "Bang" .. so we thought the bigger the better "Bang" all most derailed the old switch engine (it was smaller and lighter) .. course us kids were on top of a "Cow Shed" and no one could see us (yea .. u know how that goes) .. one of the parents came out and "nabbed" us .. seems that the RR had called to get us stopped .... we never did that again seeing that Ol Switch Engine Rockin was enough to scare us into quitting .. course all our parents found out about it ... they saw we were all scared about it and I think no one got their "Butt Warmed"
About the "Cokes" I paid a nickle for a many one .. really don't remember the six cents ones ... thought they went straight to a dime ... thats when Pepsi really capitalized on the "Twice as much for a Nickle to" theme .. Course an RC Cola (Nehi) was 12 oz as well but they did not do the advertising that Pepsi did (both of them went to a dime when Coke did) ..

we used to lay money on the tracks but it might be a day or two before the train went by.
The extra penny was probably the deposit on the bottle. As kids, we used to make good money picking up bottles along the road & turning them in to collect the deposit. When the older guys started getting drivers licenses (but not gas money) we'd round up a crowd of 5 or 6, fan out and find enough bottles to buy a couple gallons of gas, and joy ride all afternoon! Life was much simpler then.Quote:

Here is what I have been doing. Works well.

Has anybody ever tried the beer cap spoons? you know the one where you poke a hole on the rim on both sides, add split rings to both and a hook on one. fold it over and add 4 or 5 bb's. i made one, havent really been able to try it but it seems pretty cool. heres a video. YouTube - Catching fish with beer caps. Must see this!
i make some very small spoons myself and there deadly on pnfish. Gave a few out to try. ole soswine got some and flat wore them out he said..I may just put these up on my site. Thanks guys....
Have enough jigs but the jelly jigs caught my eye...As for that penny on the RR tracks..I tried it when I was a kid and told my dad..He laughed and told me it would not wreck a train..I asked why and he said they would vibrate off before the train got anywhere near..Hay I was a kid and had to try it..I got my penny back cause I waited to see the train wreck ..that never happened...So much for the penny..Have to get some of those jelly jigs...JIM....CL...
i think the penny would work better after the train ran over it. stack a dime on a penny tape and it down with scotch tape.
i would like to see pictures of these home made spoons. i dont use spoons hardly ever but would like to see your creations.
beer cap lure looks cool,thanks for the link. here another bait for ya sayre315 YouTube - ‪The Booze Bait Blooz‬‏lol
Oh yeah! i've seen those. I've always wandered if they work.
