I got a great Christmas present recently. It was before Christmas Day, and I won’t be able to use it until next spring, but it was a terrific gift just the same. I got a call from Macks Lure, which is a local fishing tackle manufacturer, and sends it products all over the world. You may be familiar with their Wedding Ring spinner that has been around for decades. They know that I am involved with several fishing events for kids every year, and thought I could help them out. They had some extra product. It is all new, but some of the items have been up dated or are packaged with their old label. They thought that I might want to take some of this off their hands, and distribute to the kids that attend the events. Boy, were they right. They invited me to their plant, pointed out the shelves that I could raid, and just like a kids in a free candy store, I began stuffing boxes. There were lures, leaders, all kinds of things that these kids will be thrilled to have. Hundreds of kids will benefit from the generosity of the folks at Macks Lure. A big thanks from me, and all the kids that will have a big smile on their faces.
