Thanks for the tip. I will try that method. I also do some spot fishing in some of the smaller lakes by me and there are two lake systems near me where one lake drains off into another. I use your method with live bait at the run off area which is very similar to a stream. I 'll give that bait anoth...

Welcome from another new guy here !!!

Thanks for the info. I bought some of those new food source grubs a week ago and used them once with no luck. I will try them again. The small spinners work well to a point. I am use to catching 30 to 50 panfish in a couple of hours with live bait, and I just don't see that type of action with the l...

Welcome...I joined just a bit before you !!!!

LEO = Law Enforcement Officer. Not one anymore, but I was a Captain in a smaller agency in NYC. Now I deal with managing Commerical Real Estate for a National owner/developer. I am not sure in which job I saw more criminals on a daily basis ( not my compnay but the people we deal with) lol....

I have run accross a few of those cheap OTFs marked Bell also. They were not the ones I was reffering too and I think they may have been made elsewhere and marked Bell....The pinned ones are the real Bell models.

Great looking stream. Is that behind your house? I live on Long Island, NY. I try and go fresh water fishing 30 or more times a year. There are a fair amount of lakes and ponds here and they stock three near by with about 2,000 trout each lake. Lot of panfish, bass and pickeral also....what lure do ...

I know Taylor and SMKW have a interwinned relationship, but not sure of all the facts. There both in Tenn, and Frost is involved also. When Cammillus went out of business last year, these were the guys running to grab the left overs and name rights. I got a few dozen of the Cammillus Heats ( the big...

Smokey Mountain Knife Works bought the Schrade name out and is using it now on many new low end import knives. These look to be the same quailty as the Twain Bokers ( which is reasonably good as a user), but they are not top dollar collectables for sure, or USA type high quailty, high tech knives....

Whippersnapper, I had joined Bladeforums a few years back, and posted mostly in the Knife Law and Automatic Knife section. This site I held off on a bit as being a former NY LEO I will tell you are "list" kept on membership to certain things. After reading quotes on this site on a daily basis, it se...

Jim the law passed in the 70s, but they were produced after that as there was a demand for them. The quailty of Italian knives was at a all time low from the mid 80 to late 90s as the market place over seas was drying up due to new laws, and the customers here were subject to Customs issues. The Fra...

Jerrbear, The Twain models you are referring to came in the late 80s that I saw. A company out of NJ called Double 8 ( Now MAster Cutlery), imported both the twain and Korea models. The Twain had thin lettering saying 440 stiletto and Twain on them and the hole went all the way through the blade ( o...

Thanks all for the continued welcome......Whippersnapper, I have been involved in several emails with you and I finally decided to join in here.....

Wanting to buy these is what got me to join !!!! I bought 7 horn and one wood from HDC.....I will let you know what I think of them when they get here......I enjoy these as I had two of these in the 1980s and gave them away ( to two girls no less), and have missed the Non auto version since......HDC...
