Something Completely Different...

Yesterday, I took a break from my usual activities to work on promoting my husband's new business venture.  We like to call it “In The Shop With Bob” because you never know what will be invented and produced when Bob spends time in his home machine shop.


One of Bob’s latest inventions is the YakMag.  It is made from recycled plastic gallon jugs and earth magnets.  The YakMag attaches to a boat, or kayak, and secures a fishing hook while the fisherman (or fisherwoman) is tending to other tasks.  It is a must-have for anyone who does not want a fish hook attached to his or her clothing or skin.  



The YakMag also has some non-fishing uses for home and workshop.  I actually sewed some YakMags to the curtains we use to hide supplies under the aquarium.  
 
             
The magnets are so strong, you  can use them to keep tools and utensils handy in the shop or kitchen.

Bob can explain the manufacturing process and benefits of the YakMag much better than I can, and does so in this video he produced yesterday:





Bob will be a participating vendor at the Monaghan Fishing Show this year on January 28 and 29.   It is a big deal for Central PA fishing enthusiasts, so I took some time yesterday to design a banner and business cards, as well as to tweak the design of the YakMag packaging.






If you won’t be able to attend the Monaghan Fishing Show, you can purchase your own YakMag by clicking on one of the following links to eBay or Etsy.

You can like and share Bob's YakMag page, and join the group In The Shop With Bob on Facebook so you can stay up to date with the latest news and inventions from Bob's shop. He would really appreciate your feedback!
