the wandering spider is found in bananas. when shipped by boat the spiders would be found on the vessels. this is what I have been told about the origin of this superstition..

Funny. I told this guys about the wandering spider on saturday, as I tossed his snacks overboard (4 bananas):eek:

Been saying it for years ! NO BANANAS ! :D :D :D :D But sometimes I'll use a Bingle Banana for those of you who remember old school !

Without showing my age ;) I definitely remember the Bingle Banana. Must have a green or red one dry rotted in some tackle box somewhere. Was a great lure back then.

I have a couple, I redid the tubes and still use them occasionally. I met Don Bingler at a show a few years ago and he gave me some of the second generation, they were shorter on bead chain swivels.

Alas. I remember it more for the name. I think I saw one once. :)

Well the bananas in the hold of the ship would emit gasses that would ripen and then rot the limes. Put some fruit next to a banana and see what happens?
