i once bought a lobster jig. it was 4 o/z jig imbeaded in a 5'' rubber molded
lobster, the body was 5 in with the claws dagleing about7 oveall. line attached middle of the curled tail and hook was in middle of the claws. i caught a lot of fish on it til it got hungup one day and i lost it.
i got it inland at the army navy in brattlebourough vt. i have never seen another one like it and it was the only one they had.
seems though some of you rubber makers could produce one. it looked exactly like a real lobster. sure wish i could find one like it

Sometime this fall Ill ask the sporting goods guys if they have a clue who their supplier was, couple of them have been there 20-30 years so you never know.

A while back Charley Soares was giving a presentation at MSBA where he was going on about how since he finds so many lobsters in bass that he would try to make a lure like one. He had it there and I think it was made out of some kind of red/brown felt.

To his surprise, the only thing he said he ever caught with it was a cod.

How about some rubber lobsters. They are 3 1/2 ozs and approx. 8 1/2" long

Rob, lure was called the Clobster, salesman remembers the distributor but doesnt think hes seen it in the catalog in recent years but hes going to check when he gets a chance since the store was busy when I flew thru on sat, also says it appeared hand packaged as in a small/garage operation. May well be the same lure mentioned above by Petri.

macojoe · 10-17-2005, 08:08 AM

I caught a Cod last year that had 10 of that very same size Lobster!

But years ago thats all they used for bait!! Lobster tails were the thing to use, ask anyone that use to fish all the old fish stands!

rob-s · 10-18-2005, 06:22 AM

vermonter, the discripsion of the package fits to a T.
it has been a decade since i held it in my hand. what did he discribe the lure to look like? im surprized he would remeber it

Vermonter · 11-14-2005, 07:45 PM

Rob.......had to go back and find this....went back to Sams(the army navy you mentioned) and reminded the sales guy I was the one who has stopped in before, interested in the clobster they used to sell....after a minute he then came out of the back room with one they had on the shelf collecting dust. Its approixmately 4 ounces, length is roughly 6 1/2 inches when fished since the tail curls around the help hide the lead weight and hook( plus im guessing the tail would give some nice lifelike movement when the lure was raised off the bottom on a slow retrieve). The overall color is a really dark green with some orange highlights along the edges of the main claws and straight orange only for the legs. Pics are so so since I took them at night and the camera is an early digital I use for onsite carpentry/woodworking projects.
The maker of the lure was Petri as others mentioned, tho instead of the Cape Cod address the label states NY.

The thought actually crossed my mind, when I open it up and saw the contents, I said, "great, now I possess 2 undersize lobsters and 30 undersize scup (at $150/fish)." With my luck the constable will drive down my street just as I push them into the trashbag.

toddonbi · 10-13-2005, 02:36 PM

what's funny is the lobsters look steamed-lol. must have stopped by the local lobster house for....oh never mind.

Mr. Sandman · 10-13-2005, 02:47 PM

Gee.... I thought it was my great idea?

I had a fish wit 2 large lobster in its belly on 1lb an another 1.5 lbs.they where hard an in good shape.they looked cooked also.i guess the stomach acids do that.someone said i should fish the tails.but i didn't.I ate them. ;-)

I've caught bass wit some pretty big mantis shrimp in there.Only once have i got one wit an eel an it had 2 eels in there.U ever see em wit the flounder stacked up like pancakes.I have 2 sizes of the petri flounder.they are some LI dudes.like someone said father an son.

striperondafly · 11-15-2005, 06:22 PM

filleted an 18 lber friday caught in Southern New Jersey - 3 large spider crabs, 2 small fiddler crabs. Your bass have a much better menu

Vermonter · 11-16-2005, 06:17 PM

Yeah the rubber is stiffer than a storm, and yes they only had one, checking to see if they're still made tho.
