This man I was telling you about all but lived on ditch, well I told him that I was looking for some older plug's to copy an he took me into his basement. he had pike's, atom's,etc. the first lead head eel skin jig's, and alot of other kind's of plug's as well. part's for making plug's. OH BOY...and a flaptail. I'll be putting up some pic's of all the thing's he gave me. Some of these pulg's you'll guy's will have to tell me what they are. Will also send you one of the skin plug's he make's. He's in his 80's now but still like's to fish the light house an longnook, fished w/s.gibb's, bob pond, an other's when they were first startting out building plug's, Oh the stories he told me an what had to be done to the plug's to make them catch fish.

Sad I am, I got there to late, he gave away atleast 30 plug's to someone That I know, an they will never b seen again.

yes it is.slip........stan said he didn't think much of them, didn't catch .........on them.

if you look on the bottom left you'll see the eel skin plug's he makes, one's painted black ,the other is not. I'll fine a tube an send you one to copy, they work great I know. ah! don't send it back. cause bm will only winde up with it when you ant looking. got more ifin ya need another.1/2...5/8...3/4
5/8 seem's to work the best from the beach.

BOAT fish do count.
