George made some cool stuff. Just this past weekend I was given a few more by someone who was very close to Mr. Carlezon (pronounced Carlson).
One was a lure George actually fished many time and bears the tooth marks and bass scrapes.
I have got about 20 of his plugs. He would scrounge any birch he could even going so far as to seeking feshly cut birch trees which he would take home, cut into 2x2 ballusters then kiln dry himself. Thats all he ever used was birch.
His lures were made to take a beating, not fancy paint though I have a few that border on it. His giant jointeds are still prized by a lot of outer cape surf guys. His atoms are very cool as well and his jointed darter was the only one I have ever seen swim correctly.
Nice plugs Roy, treasure them, they mean a lot to those who fish the race surf thats for sure.
