Gone fishin'...

Dunno if this has been done before, it probably has, but I thought to share an alternate method I thought about for measuring lengths of wire.

Yesterday I received this:

Yes, there are other ways to measure wire. Yes it is a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist. Yes, I like to experiment with different solutions to see if something works. :blush:

I wrote a bit more here about how I got on, thought to share and see what others think. I am already looking at customising it with some potential 3D printed upgrades.

It will have to wait until after the Aidiemod Turbo 6000 Executive Edition Ghia build though, which is coming along nicely!

:rofl: Love it! How many times do we get told “i thought you were fishing” when out in the field?

I’m regularly told I won’t catch much. When I point out that it’s not the first time I’ve heard that they are always surprised. People think they are so clever.

Of all the [apparently] witty remarks I get on summit about my telescoping pole, the most popular is “What are you hoping to catch?” [or variations]. To which I shoot back “Flying fish!”

Certainly more high tech than my approach of two nails in a board:

Just think how my wife felt when she used to be the stoker of our tandem. If we had a pound for every time someone shouted “she’s not pedalling”, I’d be able to buy a new Kuhne transverter😁
