If you had to have a lure to fish with that they didnt make anymore, or was hard to get, what would it be?

Giant Creek Chub Pikie?
Jointed Danny?
Floyd Roman Nike?
5 1/4oz Gibbs Pencil?
Masterlure Eel?


Me personally wouldn't mind finding a mother load of Jointed Danny's.
:eek:

Gibbs darters without the stepped head.

Gibbs bottles with the old-style heads.

Sinking 3-1/2 oz Polarises (they "swam" better on a slow retrieve).

The 5-1/4 oz pencils were more of a niche item, for the Canal. I'd rather have them bring back the "Canal Special" now that the Hawg-man has passed on, if it was a choice of one or the other. The Canal Special was a 7" pencil popper that had a flat, planed bottom and a little extra weight at the rear for a better cast. They weighed 3-1/8 oz rather than the 2-3/4 oz standard 7" PP.

Since I live in Beachmaster territory, I don't miss the jointed Danny, jointed Pikie or even the Atom 40 that much.

The old Gibbs plugs made by Gibbs himself! I was very partial to the larger Polaris and pencils includeing the 5 1/4 oz.

I made a couple of those Tattoo, they catch bluefish but I'm sure they would get stripers in the canal now.
I made some small captain bills swimmers for nor_easter and he got a bass over 40 on it with the plug standing up inside the mouth and just a barb sticking in the tongue :eek: he released it since it did not drown.

I'd add those to my list , large popper,small swimmer and large swimmer. Capt. Bills work well. Also Atom p-40

Interesting skin plug. Are those hooks held on with cotter pins?

tlapinski
10-08-2002, 03:15 PM
actually, it is not a skin plug. the lure is retreived to the left. it is a Norris Jet Squid. by the way, if anyone has one just "laying" around, i have a place reserved on the wall for it!

T. Lapinski, your photo of that reverse-style squid plug reminded me of another lure that sadly is now dead--the Reverse Atom.
I'm pretty sure Smoker discontinued it, along with the big "40" swimmer, when they bought Bob Pond out.

Hey Toby,


How many guys you know stand on the end of a breachway in a gale throwing a conventional into the wind?

....and I bet he was throwing a parrot mombo minnow too. :laughs:

Matoonoc,

THATS THE ONE! Are those old swimmer blanks you have from your grandfather that shape? If so, I think we can do something.
