Hey VB - I know of two people who have some Hahn needles that you don't have in your collection. Guess who:D

send them please :)
vb

VB, I remember when you could walk into Red Top and they had litterally buckets of Sandee's for sale in the old tackle specials bins. Nice stuff. That leather thing is way cool. Never saw one before.:D

Thanks Vineyardblues - some really neat stuff. Thought Norris made the first needle on the Cape maybe not. Sent you a pm for some additional info.

VB,

Is this a Roman?

From Murat's Tackle shop when they went out of business.

Looks like a Hans, but with three belly weights. Anyone know who made this?

yes that is a Roman,
And yes u r a dog

VB

VB, did they make those smaller Romans in plastic? I have the same one in wood and several in plastic.

give me them needles both of You:smash:

Biteme - yes they made some in plastic.

I have had this wooden needle for a long time. Any ideas what it could be?

its pregnent!

Or how about this crazy jointed thingy? I think somebody called it a Tomcat

it's used to catch a male platapuss...that's misses puss.

More of a trumpet fish but with a shot
 

Anyone know who made this trumpet fish?

close up of the belly

bic needle
 

???

:laughs:

Don't laugh to hard at the bic needle...I bet it would out fish a lot of lures.

How would you put a center hook on it? I can think of a spot where a clear one would be a killer.

Steelhead.......leave the head on the pen....just behind where the head meets the body put a black eye on[marker] then drill two holes close to the center,,,one for the belly hook and the other for a drop of lead...drill through the lead so your wire will pass through that lead and keep it in place,,no need to poxy the lead hole;)

Hey CS, I was wondering about the belly hook as I was putting it together. Thanks for the how to and where :-) This one started out with the point, but it broke as I was wrapping the wirter at the rear. Next one. Going to have sneak a few more from the wife's pocket book.

Should the lead go behind the belly hook so it rides a bit nose up?

:D

Found an old clear one. Not one of those new cheap ones....
Maybe I'll color it with transparent magic marker.
