I was gonna say a safety pin but I suppose a nail will work too!

The sad thing is until I was probably ten, when my dad took me fishing
it was a tomato stake, some cotton string from the garden, and bent over
brads (nails)... When I was in my early tweens, I used a Michelob Beer
bottle cause of the shape and bought a new spool of 4 pound test every
spring... and hand casted...

I was more fortunate, man. My grandpa bought me a Zebco 202 rod and reel set. and showed me how to bait worms on the hook.

I lead a privileged life...

The worst day fishing is better than the best day working.

When I go back.. I remember that fishing with my dad, more than most
other fishing. At least, those were the trips that stand out:)

He was laid off from Finast Grocery for 5 years during which time he was
a maintenance at the Holmstead Museum in Ct. We used to go down to the
pond and catch Bullheads and Perch with those old nails and stakes...
Didn't catch a lot, but every once in a while we snagged a few.

Later I got pretty good at hand fishing the lakes for Trout with my beer
bottle and fresh line. I could put a worm and tiny sinker out 30-40
yards. Huge disadvantage playing fish in compared to my buds who all had
Ugly Sticks and such, but it was cool... Couldn't do much at all in a
stream though, just not enough touch.

Eventually at about age 15 I think I got a Mitchell 301 (left handed
version of a 300) and a rod. Still suck at fishing, but I do love it...
