Give me a Carnage any day Easier, quicker to tie, floats all day and no chickens are harmed in the process.

Were the flies required to jump through the hole in the razor blade? Or was it when you couldn't put them through that hole you realized the "too much Bourbon" part? (Asking for 3 friends!)

Kim You're lucky you have 3 friends 😉. 1: no, new hooks, though not each one was finished the first attempt. 2: They did seem to jump around. 3: When I found I had to put them through the cut-outs on the side of the blade and they wouldn't go that might have been my first indication of too much bourbon. Actually thinking about it that was my second indication. The first was when I had to re-tie a few of those due to ham handed, fat fingered tying.

Bourbon always taste better on cold winter nights, you got to enjoy them while they last! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WWKimba 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2021 First, I NEVER said ANYTHING bad about the Bourbon! I don't like dodging lightning strikes!! Second, to be honest two of those friends were ME and MYSELF! My memory is going so I can't remember the third!! Kim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
