Title: Odd Crosman 150 Accessories

This is not specifically for the 150, but it works well together.

Found these fishing arrows that were made for .22 caliber air guns and had the bottle of string for the jet line.

Now, I'm not sure if this is really going to pull in much for fish,  but it is different. There are barbed tips for fish... getting frogs would make more sense I think though.

That's really interesting.  It would useful for a country kid like myself.  Lots of creeks in the woods and a lake nearby.  I wonder when it was made.

Thanks for sharing that!

Ride on,

Frogging with airguns is seldom talked about as a means of putting meat on the table. Frogs instinctively jump towards the body of water, which is one reason why. That and urban frogs eat more cigarette butts and chewed bubblegum than insects  ;) Cool rig

I've shot a ton of frogs, with an airgun. Hit 'em in the fuse box, and, they just slump. Not even a twitch.

I use to just flatten the barb on a fishing hook, stick something red or yellow on there (usually Berkeley trout bait), and dangle it in front of them till they grabbed it. I populated a homemade pond in my backyard with them....the racoons and feral cats gave my buffet excellent reviews on Yelp haha.

A square of red cloth works just as well. Cheaper, too.
