New Use for a Thingamabobber!!!

This is just one little idea I came up with recently.  Since I am an official member of the Old Farts Society and my eye sight is not as it once was, I have used this to make it easier to get ready the next time I go fishing.  Once I clean my gear and reel and make sure my leader is good, I place a Thingamabobber on the end of the tippet. This way the next time out I do not have to spend much time looking for the end of my leader on my reel.

    That's a good idea. When I string up my rods they stay strung up for the season. If you travel a lot to fish and take the reel off , thingamabobber would work well for keeping your tippet end accessible. Bread wrapper twist ties work well also and are great for keeping your rod sections bound together for storage.

    Good idea.
