The Cat's Whisker |
|
This was the name given to the
tiny wire that connects to the detector crystal in a crystal radio set. The
radio itself was also called a "Cats
Whisker" during the pioneering days of broadcasting in 1925.
The Cats Whisker Streamer Lure was invented by
the English Fly Fisherman David Train in the 1980's. David named the fly
"Cats Whisker" because on the original design, he used four white
whiskers shed from his pet cat to stop the wing looping around the hook shank!
