Looks like T-LAPS sawdust plug gets the most scarse plug of the day award!:kewl: Unless of course ya consider swimability.:think:

those Floyd Romans drive me crazy

I believe that plug of T-Laps used to be some type of bluefish plug years ago.....heavily used of course but still a vintage piece!:laugha:

The guy was yelling at me to get up and out of the roll off.
Lots of stuff fell down to where I could not get it.

CS
That is the Best seliction I have ever seen.

.:

Mike CC that plug with the funky hook hangers was made by:


"E&E Tackle Co."

E&E Tackle Co.
Waltham, Mass.

Manufactured lures in the early 1940's, the belly stamp on their lures read:

E&E Tackle Co.
O.H Everett
R.O Everett
Waltham, Mass.

Or:

E&E Tackle Co.
Waltham, Mass.
G&H Everett

The company is the forerunner of
"Blue Streak Lures". At this time, I do not know whether ownership changed, when the name changed or stayed the same. But, the designs and quality of the lures improved dramatically. Not much is known about this company.

Before going further with older plugs, here is a little pile of Bassmaster plugs,some unrigged as well. His needles are bonafide killers.

Thank Gawd more plugs.........for a while there I thought it was over!:btu: :claps: :drool: :bounce:

Some different Gibbs Pencils. All are 2-3/4 oz. except the Yellow Canal Special. The Squid one with three hooks is an original. When that size came out it had three trebles then they got changed to 2 trebles and I don't know why. Anyway the Yellow Pencil with 3 trbles is a Fifty Year Anniversary plug that Gibbs put out in 1996. The Yellow Canal Special has a story to it and Dave LaPorte caught a 55 pounder at Pole 155 on this plug. There is a Purple Squid, a different design squid with the eyes at the rear end to look more like a squid I guess. The silver/black Mack at the center is the only one I know of.

The largest Pencil Popper that Gibbs ever made was the 5-1/4 oz.model.This is a Silver Scale Squid one.

Flap, I nearly fell outta my chair when I saw those pencils, they're beauties:eek: :eek: .Then you go and rub it in with BM needles, i've been trying fer 2 1/2 years now to get some of those , now i've GIVEN UP :smash: :smash: YOU got one hell of a collection :) Thanks for sharing, johnny "the Ratt Boy"

I need to get some work:(

more of my stuff

this is my first homemade I caught a bass on, and it was with the first cast while fishing with a very well know plug builder, he told me I should hang on to that plug and not fish it anymore since I would regret it if I lost it. So I took his advice.

no, those are to heavy to get out

gotta go outside, too nice out

MAN, over 5000 views so far:laughs:

not trying to be a hijcker but how do you like those nautil reels?

Thinking of buying one.

a slip, I think you should mass produce the Goofy Pez dispenser plug---I can see a real market for it. :laughs:

Well then, I suppose you could go out to the shop an make me a Capn Bill. Somthing in a nice blue/white with silver along the side and no eyes. It don't need no eyes!

PS, I don't have the most BM plugs, Stifftip does when he traded 20,000 grommets to BM for 40 prime plugs. He got some beauties.:laugha: :jump1:

I like them alot although the 6500 can do the ol' bail flip snap plug off trick on a hard cast :(
Landed a 41 lb bass in the canal off the bottom out in the middle using a 7500 with the current running strong no problem.

only get the yellow model 6500 or you may have grinding issues.

Frank and his brothers were the best striped bass fisherman for years and years :)

When Chester A. "Biff" McArdle owned Biff's Bait shop by the Sagamore Bridge he used to build them for Bunny over at Red Top. He had tons of lips, thru-wires and grommets, pencil leads etc. I have some lips and Thru-wires Bunny gave me with a bunch of unfinished bodies in Different colors. I wonder who got all that stuff when Biff croaked?

AHH, knowledge, it;s a beautiful thing!:D

Looks like the same rig

very nice!
It very well could be the wrong lure for the box.

VB

Capesams do you need a computer upgrade? Your pics load like mollasses on a cold day.:(

Nice stuff guys, glad to see the boys come out to play :happy:

I can't come close to what is posted. Here is a small darter collection.

And some stuff that just took out of storage

Wooden Musso's. There was a post earlier about the action of the swimmers. One is a surface swimmer, one is loaded and a diver. Notice the different location of the line tie loop. Lower = surface, higher (close to center) = diver.

who ever is reading this, go back 3 pages we went pic Nuts to night.
Nice stuff Guys

Back to Masterlure stuff:

A few more.

I had only one PM showing but I deleted that one. So if it is showing my box is full I do not know what is going on.

Anyway, VB and Adam I am so jealous of your collections it's not funny. I only wish I did not stop for ten years because of my bad experience with the Poores. To think of what I might have. But this thread has inspired me and I am getting in the game again.

Thanks for the inspiration. Now let's see some more!:D
