Spoon Collection and Cleaning

[jdh]

I'm already starting to go crazy at home, and wish I was out fishing again. If I make it on the ice soon that may help calm me down.

But for now, I needed to find something to do.

For a joke last year I put a bunch of spoons on our Christmas Tree instead of the regular ornaments. They are shiny and lots have glow in the dark - so the tree looked pretty cool. This past Christmas we got a bigger tree and pretty much put all my spoons on there.

Due to having all my spoons on a the tree and having a bunch of people handling them, I decided to give the spoons a good wash before storing them back in their boxes. I tried just a mix of borax and water.

This also gave me the opportunity to pull all the spoons out and take a picture.

I present my spoon collection:

I'll be reorganizing all my flasher-flies and meatrigs next.

And then its on to plugs and body baits.

Great idea for next year...a "Fishmas" Tree!

Been doing that for years,great memories and also reorganizing when putting away. Most expensive decorated tree in town. Throw on a few old tinsel flies for extra glitter.Also really lets you compare the glow time on different lures after shutting the lights off.

That's a great idea for decorating the tree. Instead of the wife buying ordainments for the tree, I could go to the bait shop and pick out more baits!

That is one great idea for next year. Thanks for idea! Nels. (Walleyes for warriors . com
