Ribbon rigs?
Anyone know if Walmart in GS or Foley has ribbon rigs? Might stop on my way down.

They don't. Go to J & M
If you are going to the picnic, David Allison probably has some made up for sale.Last edited by FinChaser; 05-06-2016 at 09:22 PM.

I'll be leaving after the picnic. If you can't find one before you get to the pier I'll "borrow you" (as Gomer Pyle would say) mine. Won't be needing one till September. If things haven't improved by then I may not even need one then!

Carl,

It is a miniature gillnet, it is loops of wire with a ribbon run thru them, it is used to catch baitfish, works very well also.

It's a strip of mono netting with a piece of red ribbon running down the center used for catching Scaled Sardines (LYs) to use for bait.
