Looks like T-LAPS sawdust plug gets the most scarse plug of the day award! Unless of course ya consider swimability.

I believe that plug of T-Laps used to be some type of bluefish plug years ago.....heavily used of course but still a vintage piece!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Mike CC that plug with the funky hook hangers was made by:


"E&E Tackle Co."

E&E Tackle Co.
Waltham, Mass.

Manufactured lures in the early 1940's, the belly stamp on their lures read:

E&E Tackle Co.
O.H Everett
R.O Everett
Waltham, Mass.

Or:

E&E Tackle Co.
Waltham, Mass.
G&H Everett

The company is the forerunner of
"Blue Streak Lures". At this time, I do not know whether ownership changed, when the name changed or stayed the same. But, the designs and quality of the lures improved dramatically. Not much is known about this company.

Domination takes full concentration..

Some different Gibbs Pencils. All are 2-3/4 oz. except the Yellow Canal Special. The Squid one with three hooks is an original. When that size came out it had three trebles then they got changed to 2 trebles and I don't know why. Anyway the Yellow Pencil with 3 trbles is a Fifty Year Anniversary plug that Gibbs put out in 1996. The Yellow Canal Special has a story to it and Dave LaPorte caught a 55 pounder at Pole 155 on this plug. There is a Purple Squid, a different design squid with the eyes at the rear end to look more like a squid I guess. The silver/black Mack at the center is the only one I know of.
