Fishing Kit
My wife gave me this horn winder for my fishing kit on my B-day a few days back. She picked it up from Wild Willy at the event we attended a few weeks back.
Today I fitted it with some light waxed hemp and added a sinew leader and hook. While I was at it I updated my kit, going to a larger tin and adding wool to the bottom and inside the lid to hold the extra hooks.
Now no more rattling. Next I need to make up a bag to put it in, cloth or leather?
In the kit I have the new winder, second winder is horn all so set up with light waxed linen line fixed with a small wire hook, split shot and cork bobber. Extras are wire hooks, cork bobber, split shot, extra sinew, bee’s wax and a frog spear.

It's a nicely made 54cal. fowler, made by Jack DuPrey a well know Michigan gun maker.
