Bait Lure identification

I must have 60 or so total jigs. Now it's time to everyone cringe...

My dad found all of these at a garage sale.
bought from a gal whos dad had passed.
My dad said he had no use for jigs just wanted the hooks so he
told her at 6 cents per hook the most he could give her was
2 bucks.

She took it!

When I was about six years old I still remember Squids on a tarred line being swung like a lasso and let go into the wash then pulled in hand over hand hoping for a strike

Bigelow & Schroder (Fishes of the Gulf of Maine) report that someone took a 112 lb striped bass doing that in Orleans around the turn of the century. That is what I'd call a "strike".

Older cousins would have me stand on end of line and they would wip it out for sea perch,,,, then chuck the perch (no hook) for gulls LOL ,,,Great fun
