Munk Mouse

This lure is a Heddon Munk Mouse (made in the 1940s), which is famous for the reversed lip. I have many Heddon Meadow Mouse lures, but this is the first Munk Mouse in my collection.

Broken

Yesterday, we went for a drive to an old town in the western Japan. After we enjoyed sightseeing and walking a lot, I dropped my camera on the ground by mistake, and the zooming mechanism of it crashed. I got depressed because it like it very much. According to OLYMPUS, they started to offer flat-rate charging system to repair their compact digital cameras, and the cost to fix mine will be JPY 12,600 plus shipping. I'm wondering if I should replace it to a new one, Olympus E-420, 620 or one of the PEN cameras. I'm also intrested in Richo CX4 and GXR.


This was the last shot image I took using the broken camera.

A Happy New Year

Wish you a happy happy new year!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you.

I have another plan to go fishing in the Sea of Japan (offshore jigging) before the end of 2010, but I'm afraid it will be very difficult as far as I see the recent weather forecast. Wish us GOOD LUCK.

Landing Net infromation

I've just noticed a couple of comments on my article about landing net. My net is a Daiwa and its name is One-touch Landing Net. According to their catalog, they sell two sizes, large and small.


I also find they sell another similar net named One-touch Keiryuu (=stream) Damo (=net).


I hope this info helps you.

Cool Fenwick blank

I'm still suffering from the bad eye illness, but am keeping my eyes open for nice fishing tackle as always. I've recently got a used but cool Fenwick Boron-X rod. Although the logos are almost going off, I guess it is 4- or 5-power, presumably a XCA 554 (=XC 554) or XCA 555 (=XC555). I've already removed all the guides and threads, and I'd like to build it up again using new parts during this winter season.

My bass fishing season is over

I wanted to go out for bass fishing a couple of more times, but I'm still having an eye trouble inside my left eye, so it seems my bass fishing is over this year. I'd like to clean my tackle, build up some rods, change and sharpen hooks of my lures, and so on, when I can spare time.
