Tony, I don't think Lefty's are made with fishing in mind anymore, like I said it's a collector thing now with all the crazy colors and such. I don't own one, never fished with one but what I saw didn't impress me past the paint job and it was obvious it was to hook the fishermen (or more correctly the collector) than the fish. Opinions are like assh*les, everyone's got one. I guess that opinion is mine.
Never seen a beater Lefty, anyone I have seen was pristine and the owner wouldn't think of putting it in the water. 30 bucks x 300 lures at Asbury makes Lefty 9 grand. If you are retired thats yer quota for extraneous cash for the year with social security. Nice quick hit and a sure seller. What could be better?
You fish with them, your probably in a minority these days. Good for you though. I still fish my Capn' Bill's and Creek Chubs, especially my giant jointeds, I got plenty of doubletakes at the Race last fall ch#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g a mint black giant jointed. Wooden Atoms make great eelskin plugs, I know because I made two last year from some of Ponds original plugs. Capesams would have a coronary.
The only Hahn's that ever impressed me were his surfster knock-offs. I know Numbskull has great affection for a large yellow/brown one he would throw to bass at a Falmouth site to be left un-named.
To bad you couldn't amke it last week. We could have downed my special Kielbasa/ bean concoction. I know you would have enjoyed it!
