I wonder how many of you know what Gimp is?

Wasn't he the Fella with the leather mask in Pulp Fiction the movie?

The more you learn, the more you know.

The more you know, the more you forget.

The more you forget, the less you know.

Gimp... what we would nowadays call a hooklink or trace. Made by twisting a combination of silk and/or steel/brass/copper wire.

 

Very soft and flexible but stops you getting bitten off by pike, but prone to rotting.

 

Used almost always for pike fishing, and certainly still being sold in the 1940's.

 

"not a lot of people know that"

 

Den

"When through the woods and forest glades I wanderAnd hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur,And hear the brook, and feel the breeze;and see the waves crash on the shore,Then sings my soul..................

for all you Spodders. https://youtu.be/XYxsY-FbSic
