WOW! interesting needles/hook hangers on them....that top needle looks to be a copy of the ones that were made with the hanger wire all the way through to the top of the plug then bent over...as to date no one seems to know who made them.But atleast a doz. or so are in collections who's owners are on this board....those are great:claps:


ps...keep those away from VB

ProfessorM 11-27-2009 05:52 PM

Grapenuts 11-27-2009 05:53 PM

I'm getting the feelin there's no one left alive to tell who made them...if I ever cross over I'll make sure to get word back.

vineyardblues 11-27-2009 06:40 PM

Is that any time soon ?

We are waiting :gh:

Grapenuts 11-27-2009 07:43 PM

if I gag on a turkey bone from the soup, but I dought it cause I'm gummin most everything these days so it'll get caught before she hits the pipe.

Tagger 11-28-2009 02:42 PM

My wife puts bones in my soup too .... must be a conspiracy .. :love::yak: ... nice snout nose, pointy arse needles ... going to have to try that profile this winter for next year ..

Any Summer 1000BC outer Cape:uhuh:With my gear and extra line and hooks to trade.

ProfessorM 11-28-2009 08:43 PM

I'd think you would have to use a very long screw eye in the nose of that beauty to keep from breaking that snout off. Looks like they have something wrapped around it to reinforce it, or is that for weighting? Very cool plug.
I hope Cape Nut Grape has some of those for me to see when I stop by finally. If he does Fred I will measure it up and blueprint it and send you a copy and if he doesn't I will stop by Jim's and measure that one in the pic up

vineyardblues 11-29-2009 12:24 AM

Ya, what ever you guys make I want one :drool:

Grapenuts 11-29-2009 05:53 AM

P...thats a grommet on the nose.

ProfessorM 11-29-2009 12:43 PM

for reinforcement?

Grapenuts 11-29-2009 02:38 PM

no..it's a nose ring ....ya it's to keep it from splittn.

Tagger 12-06-2009 05:51 AM

you talking about the bottom one ? ... looks like there was a problem there .. almost looks like a little piece of duct tape wrapped around there ..

capesams 12-08-2009 08:02 PM

Eddy..it's a steel grommet with tackle box dust on it..no tape...they sit in a heep in a tackle box as I type.
