Anyone able to identify these plugs?

Be very careful cleaning them. The finish will come off if you use any abrasives. Wash in warm water with dish detergent and a soft cloth.
Rinse well to get rid of the dish water smell and for best results wash in a bucket of salt water and anise oil. About 8 or 10 drops to 2 gallons of water. Let air dry.
They are Salmon Plugs from a source on the West Coast. I bought a few cases back in the seventies and used them to some success. Someone broke into my boat and got the name of the source and then they appeared in a local tackle shop and every one and his uncle had them.
They do work well in high course tide conditions.
Silver Horde Supply was the manufacturer and supplier back then. There are several that look alike and I have used many of those that are available. The S. H. brand work the best.
They come in several sizes and are effective in different sizes as the size of the bait fish changes.
Those in the photos have hooks that are too small and weak. Use a 12/0 Stainless single hook and you will not miss a hit!
We tried and experimented with trebles, duals and singles and finally went to large singles.
If you would like to share more knowledge of these and other things contact me direct.
I must be getting soft in my old age!
