Le Snapper Snipper
Extendable airplane-grade anodized aluminum pole reaches out to snip the fishing gear tangled in telephone lines and trees | |
Have you ever been motoring down a country lane and cross a
bridge and notice the thousands of pounds of fishing lures,
hooks, bobbers, floats and sinkers trapped in the telephone
lines and tree branches???
Well, Le Snapper Snipper has a pair of scissors on the far end
of a 10 meter pole
with a small wicker catch-basket just below
the scissors.
Get it? snip snip? catch the lure?? cast cast??
BANGERS AND SNAPPER FOR DINNER!!!

To be honest, no. Is this fishing tackle that
fisherman have accidentally cast into the trees?
And is it thousands of pounds in money or in
weight? If so, how strong are the trees where you
live; or how dumb are the local fishermen? |
|
| |
Ah, right. Duh. Local fisherman are that dumb,
then. |
|
| |
Wait! Are you in Shropshire? |

Hmmm. Better be pretty sure those overhead lines aren't power cables. |
|
| |
Some "Roach poles" are made of carbon fibre. Which is very conductive. Long, conductive pole wielded by short conductive fisherman in vicinity of HT power lines - brief, spectacular, difficult to ignore (Brilliant blue flash, loud bang, cloud of smoke). |
|
| |
Given that the person who took that photo seems to
be slightly above and about 2 feet away from the
accumulated fishing tackle, one has to wonder if a
pole would be strictly necessary. |
|
| |
Also, who eats sausages with snapper? Is it a sort of
downmarket surf 'n' turf? |
|
| |
I meant snapper and mash. (oops) also, ever heard of a
telephoto lens? |
|
| |
I've heard that they've been miniaturized |
|
| |
Something about the way light bends when it changes media.
(Air to glass, glass to air) I didn't believe it either. |
|
| |
It's a complete myth. As for "telephoto" - the word is
a vulgar hybrid of Greek and Latin: no good can come
of it. |
|
| |
Yeah... they'd use something like that to make a dagger o' type |
|
| |
oh my goodness!! i JUST noticed that you guys aren't giving
me my props!! My proppers!! Actually that expression comes
from an old Aretha Franklin tune... "And give me... My
Proppers... when I get home. R E S P E C T... Find out what it
means to me... (don't pretend that you knew that.) |
