Testing in a glass of water In the winter days or when we are not able to go out to the river, the test can be done in a glass of water. There are so-called winter service jobs around fishing tackle. Once upon a time, string was precious and difficult to obtain, so old fishermen told me that worn-out strings were cooked in sweet milk, thus extending their lifespan. Today that is no more, fishing tackle is never cheaper, and fish in the water never less. Hazelnut fishing rods were also made by hand a long time ago.

U zimskim danima ili onda kad nismo u mogućnosti izaći na rijeku, proba mamca se može izvršiti i u čaši vode. Postoje ti tzv. zimski servis poslovi oko ribarskog pribora. Nekada je struna bila dragocjena i teško se nabavljala, pa su mi stari ribari pričali kako su dotrajale strune kuhali u slatkom mlijeku, te im na taj način produžavali životni vijek. Danas tog više nema, ribarski pribor nikad jeftiniji, a ribe u vodi nikad manje. Takođe su se nekada davno ručno izrađivali ljeskovi ribarski štapovi u kućnoj izradi. Danas je u modi povratak na te retro stvari. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHvbSNCDm1g YouTube credit: Thomas Turner Fishing Antiques https://www.youtube.com/c/ThomasTurnerFishingAntiques/videos Ovaj strastveni ribolovac reparira stare štapove, preparira i trofejne primjerke ulova, zanimljiv YouTube kanal, preporučujem za one kojima se ovaj hobi dopada.
