I’ve already highlighted fishing artists who emulate traditional pinup art, including a great one from Australia, but until recently I assumed that they all came from warm weather locales. I was wrong, as I realized upon spying the one seen above and below from Buttwhackers Fillet Company, whose operation is located on the famous “Spit” in Homer, Alaska.
We passed by their operation on the way to the Salty Dawg Saloon, and while we did our halibut fishing out of Seward on this trip, maybe next time we’ll double up with a second trip for big ‘buts. Until then, their apparel will have to do.
For many of us, the Improved Clinch Knot was the first one we learned. Some of us still use it. It may not test stronger than some other, but it’s remarkably easy to tie correctly. You can improve your chances of landing big fish to the boat with the Double Clinch Knot.
