put the shank in a vice bend with a big set of klein's 3/8.
Important-sharpen and re-sharpen


If it won't cut your fingernail and grab its dull. Factory hooks all need to be touched up some if not lots to start with.

And if you put a perch on, make dang sure to take the scale off the tip of the hook on the other side thats often stuck there as the hook comes out the off side of the perch. If its big enough it can prevent hooking a fish or hooking it well...

Did you read the link? Says made with Citronella oil. IIRC thats same as in some mild bug repellants.
HMMMM Wash outdoor clothes in it and see?

I don't think I"ve seen it here, but we have a mexican lineman that gets it for us when he goes back down south...I might have to look harder at HEB or Walmart though...

Anyone have a clue if my guess re repellant properties might be right? Even if it keeps the gnats at bay a bit better would be nice.


Jeff I believe both HEB and wallyworld carry that Zote soap Pat is talking about. It's a big bar!

My buddy has used it a lot. You are right its big. We had to start looking when you could no longer find the J/B or B/B bars, and my original stock had run out.

I think its time to make more...

But I'm still intrigued enoguh to see about washing our work clothes in the Zote and see if it wards off skeeters and such possibly...
