Strangest Bait ?

Back when pop tops first appeared on beer cans, they weren't attached as
they
are now, but pulled free when you opened your beer. I was a poor college
student who couldn't afford to buy lures, so I used to bore a hole in one
end
of the pop top and attach a split ring and treble hook. I tied my line to
the
ring on the other end. It was too light to cast with a spinning rod, but
with
a fly rod you could get it out 30 feet, then twitch it back. The action
of
that light aluminum was hard for fish to resist. i caught lots of bream,
a few
bass and a channel cat or two, before the can makers wised up and came up
with
the pull tab system we have now.

Government made them change. Drinkers would pull the tab and drop it in the
can, and then swallow the tab while drinking.
