It's all good! I guess it boils down to the specific needs one might have depending on the area where he lives.

I live in Quebec (eastern Canada), which makes me more worried about mosquitos and black flies than sunburns. <img src="/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

I used two of the smaller sizes this past weekend on a rafting trip. One for a PSK, the other for a FAK. Both were in a mesh bag in the bottom of the raft and despite being wet all of the time neither developed any leaks.

When you get ready to put the fishing line or thread on the bobbin...wrap some masking tape around a drill bit, just enough so the bobbin will slide onto the drill bit but not spin. Chuck in drill. Use drill to wind for you. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Takes about 30 seconds to load up the bobbin with thread or line.

Where did you get the micro fox 40 whistle?

I think you wanted to reply to someone else on this thread.

Hi! That's a good suggestion... I would have done that but I don't have these kinds of tools handy. I thought of using the Braun food processor but I decided to do it by hand... ;-)

I'll do it with the sewing bobbin and a drill.

The Fox40 Micro comes from Canadian Tire, a convenience store chain we got in Canada. I'm sure you can purchase it online somewhere, a 2-pack costs 6$ CAD.

Is six Canada dollars about $1.50 US or $50 US? I never can keep that straight! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Its about a pint and a half, but its served warm.

Duckear, six canadian dollars is about 5 USD.

I'm sure you can find the Fox 40 micros 2-packs in a store near you.

Ttyl!
