"No prettier site I ever did see, than the rings where the cork used to be" One of the ol guys used to take me fishin as a kid would say that bout every time his cork diappeared. I can remember my Dad takin me fishin when I was really small, but the first GREAT trip was to a farm pond fishin for beddin 'Gills. I know now that he had already found the bed an all he done that day was put on grasshoppers(we caught them early that morn) an take off brim, 12 ft limber cane pole, black Dacron line, gold swivel, Eagle Claw snelled #4 Aberdeen, red an white plastic bobber! That pole was my rod an reel til he got me a 33 when I was 12. I still brim fish an eat a lot of'em!
