Fine composition :cool: For me it shows off to great advantage the simplicity and beauty of these Contemporary Traditionals, no clutter but purity. They are quality construction too the Italian knives and Ive great hopes of the forthcoming forum Knife coming from Viper, another Italian Big Gun:thumbsup:

Thanks, Will

Thank you!

Pleasantly surprised by the LionSTEELs, a very nice modern twist to the traditionals IMHO. Haven't tried a Viper yet - thinking about possibly picking up a sowbelly.
 
Yessir, that’s a vintage Ambassadeur 5000. It’s fine for bait fishing or plastic worm casting where you have some weight. My usual smallmouth rod and reel is an Ambassadeur 6500C, which can cast my go/to ~ a #2 Mepps squirrel tail. I also use ultralight spinning rigs, but I am more accurate with casting reels using my thumb on the spool.
But last year I caught two 22”+ smallies on an ul spinning rig with 4 lb line, in consecutive casts. Fun, but I was sure they’d get into cover and break off.

Yes, Bruce. You need an old school fish knife!


Kids with Downs are more at risk. My daughter’s a champ with her mask, but we’ve decided to hold off when they re-open her adult day program just to be safe. Hope your friend’s wife beats the C!
What is it about knifebrite that makes them so fun? I only have one, a Bullnose. That 15 is great!
Maybe they’ll make more soon?

Thanks for telling about your reel and its use. I like reading about how others fish and what gear they use and how they use it. I need to inventory the fish knives I own and give one a try. My daughter does well with the neck scarf type mask, but from what I read they don’t do much good. She will not tolerate a standard type mask. OH

There is a reason old time folks owned and used one knife - your knife has that elegance that old school utilitarian products exude. Very nice!
