Labor Day Weekend DIY Projects
I completed two easy projects this weekend. With the exception of the stainless parts and the spring, I pretty well had all of the parts for these laying around my garage.
First is a DIY line spooler. The wife got tired of holding onto spools of line, so I had to make a substitute!

Second is a DIY Hawaiian spear gaff....just in case I happen to catch something toothy that I'd rather not be thrashing around, I can dispatch them quickly.

I think your on to something by making a spooler so she doesn't have to hold the spool and crank the reel too , She should be able to get more of your reels done faster giving her more time to tie jigs for you , cast the jigs and sinkers too ,
I think the other wives will all want one now .If you are going to fight, fight like you are the third monkey on the ramp to Noah's ark and brother, it's starting to rain!

I'll make y'all a good deal on them. Should make a great Christmas present for the missus! Better yet! If you've got a jig mold you could trade, we'll make a swap and I'll get her started smelting lead too!

I’ll be sliding into town March 10-14. Can you have it warm and sunny for me then? And also, how about having the fish biting??? :D
