Was at the auction a couple weeks ago and a feller got one of them suitcases that has a handle an rolls around, tossed in his pile he bid on. He didnt want it an offered it to me. I looked it over an thought, hmmm new tacklebox. It even has padded shoulder straps to carry it like a backpack, if ya didnt wanna roll it.
Wally World has some of them clear plastic tacklebox containers on sale this week, so I loaded up on a few of em. Four of em fit in this thing with extra pockets to spare. I spect this thing is bout 8"X12"X18" tall. The wheels aint big enuff to roll over much more than yer living room floor but the frame makes the bag more sturdy.
Wally World also had Eagle Claw circle sea 6/0's and Gama..... 7/0's on clearence. Notice I say "had". WW always puts assorted fishin stuff on clearence bouta week or two after the first of the year. Good time to stock up.

good for you HB!!!!......
i've looked at those lil' suitcases with wheels at second hand shops and have seen tacklebox possibilities in 'em too, but they've always been too pricey.....when i find one cheap enough, think i'll go that way too......pond where i fish the most, it is surrounded by a paved walkin' track, so i think it'd roll fairly well (probably in a bumpy sorta' way.....)

Ms Nature, we have a rather pricey French boutique in town we shop at often here. They may have a store in your neighborhood too. It's called: "Le Goodweeel" |

thanks for the laugh Chef.....
i wish we had one.....i'd hafta' go to the big city to be able to shop in the exclusive boutique "Le Goodweeel"....already got my once a year run to the city outta' the way last sunday.....(i really ain't kiddin' on that....averaged out to 'bout once a year for the last four or five years).....
the second hand shops way out here in the sticks are real proud of their merchandise and expect ya to be happy to pay nearly new prices.....soon as it warms up some, there'll be lotsa' yard sales and i'll probably be able to get one for next to nothin'.......
again, thanks for the laugh.....
