Drug Store fishing supplies


LongLine

Recommended Posts

Priority 1, on GLF, mentioned clear finger nail polish as a thread coating on rod eyelet replacement so I thought I mention it here. It works great. It’s basically a lacquer that is more water resistant than the superglues. I’ve also used it to seal threads on trolling flies and on wood plugs to prevent them from getting water logged.

Other supplies from the drug store that you can save some money on are:

Toe-nail clippers. They work great on cutting fishing knot tag ends

Disposable nail files. They work great on touching up hooks. & won’t rust

You guys know of any more? :?: :?:

Get clippers with a hole in the end and attach a retractable key chain to them that hooks on your belt and you won't drop them overboard like pliers! (I hate when that happens)

rr - good point. Also nail polish remover in case you spill it. The remover (acetone) also works on anyone that has glued their fingers together with super glue :):$

FX - Key chain works. I have mine on one of those floating key chain gizmos :)

Gill - Thanx for your contribution. :roll:

How about rubber bands? Sometimes you can find the right size there. Although Staples or Office Max usually has a larger selection. (& cheaper)

With the price of gas, every buck saved is another mile of trolling. Any other ideas out there? Doesn't have to be a "drug store".
