  What is a Winklepicker? - Associated Content
If I were to ask you what a winklepicker is, there's simply no telling what your response might be.
Now that you know a winklepicker is an object that can be purchased, that should constrain your imagination somewhat.
Still, I did mention that I only briefly considered purchasing a Winklepicker for that price, so the implicit assumption you probably made is that I consider $200 to be expensive.

 FSFriends - Feeder / Winklepicker rods
I have been looking through the Askari catalogue for a new feeder rod, and came across some winklepicker rods.
The feeder rod I'm after has got to be no more than 9 or 10 foot long because of peg size on local lake, and Askari have both types of rod that fit the bill.
Both types have 3 tips and from the look of them in the pic, both look to be the same (except for about a fiver difference in price).

 Kitten heel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
They emerged again in the 1980s and have become once again fashionable since 2003.
They are classified as Stilettos and despite their lack of height are generally classified as 'high heels' because of their sex appeal; particularly when teamed with a sharp pointed toe or long 'winklepicker' toe.
This is an anomaly because a shoe or pump with regular wide heels of 1.5 inches high would be considered a 'flat shoe' and generally devoid of sex appeal; it is the addition of a stiletto heel, however short, that turns it into a sexual accessory.

 Creepers: Nostalgia
The crepe sole was a soft, squishy rubberized material made by mixing rubber with wool.
This revolutionary material was first used solely for orthopedic shoes, but the Teddy Boys created their own version by placing a pointy-toed shoe dubbed a winklepicker upon a thick fl sole of crepe rubber.
The creeper, coupled with the outrageous fashions of the Teddy Boys, carried them to the fringes of society.

 The Stems at the Manning Bar, Sydney Uni 2004
The concept of a revival of Oz '60s Garage Rock is nothing new; we see sets of these waves roll in and expend themselves on the beaches every couple of years.
What's more relevant is that (a.) The Stems led the first of these fond returns to Australian music's most relevant roots back in the mid-80s and (b.) they've influenced more local bands than you can point a winklepicker at.
And there's absolutely no problem with reflecting on what's gone before when looking for inspiration - providing you're not too precious about it all and try and add to, rather than just re-tread.
