Up for auction, are these plugs that were generously donated in 2006 for display at the Sail Loft (now Melville Grille) waterfront restaurant. This collection of plugs and tins represent some of the best talent across the region. This is a unique opportunity to collect (and fish) elite plugs from top professionals as well as difficult to get home builders.

A huge thank you to those who donated back in 2006 and Spence for bringing these out now.

For those of you that don’t know me personally , before I started fishing I spent several years in the military including over 2 years in Iraq. This cause means a lot to me.
