Post by aaron42ash » Wed Dec 17, 2008 12:29 am

Some, but not all of my vintage tackle....
3- Mr. Pike (1 Jointed)
1 River Runt
1 Wounded Minnow
1 Creek Chubb Mouse
and a vintage Musky bait that looks like a wounded mouse...any help on this one?

Those look like some killer plugs.Nice collection going there.

I'm offended by the "vintage" statement. A lot of those look like they come from MY tackle box AND I'M NOT VINTAGE YET. LOL :-"

Sorry, I don't think I have seen the mouse before.

Hulas? Cool. I am trying to find my Hawaiian Wiggler but I think my son swiped it from my box.

Ahhh... Pearl wobblers...I caught my first king salmon on one.... 21lbs off Hope Island...more than 50 years ago!!! Jeeze..that was a long time ago. I still have some of those lures in my box also. Last time I used one was off Port Angeles a couple of years ago....didn't get anything that day. Oh the memories that little things bring up.... Have a good one, Steve :-)

Fly Fishing is the art of attaching a fake bug to a line and relying on the appropriate manipulation of the rod to deceive the fish into eating a sharp steel hook covered with feathers and fur.

I was thinking about it and back then everyone had them along with Canadian wonder spoons and Les Davis plugs. And of course lot's of Banana leads. All that stuff is still in the box waiting to be used again... :-)
