Drug Store fishing supplies

[LongLine]

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? :?: :?:

Don't chince out on the nail polish either, use Sally Hanson's clear nail polish. The best there is. I use it instead of head cement on all my flies.

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)

How about Tampax to plug the hole in your boat?

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".

fellas i do my petitcures on the boat all the time these are some great ideas for my 'has been' colors i dont use anymore,ive found my thong areas hair removing wax stripes work well to hold loose hooks

I have used nail polish to seal the rubber ends on my flush mount rod holders. Through the years the rubber broke down and would leave a black ring on anything/anyone that sat on the gunnel.
