my fishin nuts are actually the seed pods from a buckeye tree...

.. the ones I have are about the size of a walnut.. also mine are darker in color (probably dryer) ... apparently the buckeye tree is native to Ohio but is seen in other midwestern, southern states.. TN being one of them.. in TN they are not as common and often grow wild nearer to water and river/stream beds.. so in actuality kind of a rare find.. on the small stream we were fishing we figured that the tree was further upstream ... we were just lucky enough to of found some in the area of the stream we were fishing.. and since soon after I (we) picked them up the fishing picked up big time I kept them and carry them with me when I go onto the water (if I remember) ....[
