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

I think some of you might be referring to the old PETRI Flounder and Lobster lures. Every once in a while a shop will have one on a shelf. I am pretty sure that they were made somewhere on the Cape and the few I mknew that actually learned how to fish them swore by them. Not sure if they are still made.

PETRI is the one and they still make them the problem is finding a hook that goes with them. I've been cursing the ones i have-the small fluke version- because i cannot find a way to rig the rubber body functionaly. Kept it around as a novelty for some reason.
