Hey 10x10!

Ever see a darter like this? You think this is home grown or some old company? Got it at a flea market for 2 bucks :D

Flea markets are great. I went to a flea market a few years ago and they couldn't sell this lamp so I took it for free. I was watching a show on TLC and the guy was making a lamp very similar to it because buying them would be too expensive. He said he saw some selling for 2400 bucks.

Anyway, back to the darter. It's a screw eye job that are a bit rusted. I know screw eyes lack the strength of through wiring but is there anyway I could put new screw eyes in and increase the strength? What if I counter sunk a hole in the top and ran an eye bolt though it, trimmed off the tag end of the threads and epoxied it in? If that would work, how could I strengthen the screw eye I attach the line to?

Nice wood 10X....thanks for sharin' :)


Bubba, I gave you enough stuff to make a dozen plugs....and your looking for more...get medical help.

Ya Ken whatcha got? :D

Patrick,

Unscrew them screw in eyes, fill the hole with 5 minute epoxy and put them back in. 90 percent chance it won't pull out. If it does you have another fish story under your belt....and replace them hooks with some VMC's

leave that plug alone, the hooks are a give away, wait for 10x10 to reply:D

That plug is a old superstrike. FORK IT OVER.........................fishing is heating up
