Jiminy Crickets, I’m a Little Tipsy
Whether I am fishing for bluegill (where the descriptor is wholly appropriate) or marlin (where it is most definitely not), I almost always refer to my lure as “my cricket.”
As in, “He really wanted that cricket.”
Or, “That fish messed up my cricket.”
Truth be told, I haven’t used a live cricket as bait in possibly as many as 40+ years, but the thought of it harkens back to a simpler time, before I accumulated so much tackle. Back then, I couldn’t legally drink, but now I can and I’m going to try to celebrate the cricket era of my life with one of the following:
Cricket Brews
Friends and Allies Brewing
Tokorozawa Brewery
Behemoth Brewing Company
Cricket Bars
Grasshopper Beers
Big Rock Brewery
Smuttynose
Mob Craft Beer
Westerham Brewery
And if you need extra hops:
Gorgeous Brewery
You can even have your own grasshopper themed bar!
