I think the difference in cost between plastic and wood is interesting,

I can remember going to the Hummock with my dad as a little girl and him buying all of these. I can even remember thinking what a FORTUNE it cost too...especially when I lost one of his new lures..... hmm thinking back I am surprised he let me use all his expensive gear at such a young age......I think I am going to have to thank him for that!!!

Nice shots Peter. I remember an old Mail Order business out of Dartmouth Mass where I would buy my Rebel Super Minnows - it was called Dwindling Acre's or something similar. Prices were actually cheaper than the Tackle Box.

No. Late 80s I think was when John bought the name from Pichney's estate. Just a couple of years before he sold Gibbs to Jim and Debbie Griecci.

Don't hold me to it but I think that old mail order business from Dartmouth was the beginning of CMS .

cms

I think it was CMS as well. I printed and mailed many thousands of those catalogs. Style is exact...

1 @ 32 Pledge. Our beloved Striped Bass are in trouble AGAIN.

I fished through the lean years and don't want to live through another collapse of the stock.

2 fish @ 28" is ridiculous.

I can remember buying rebels at Mac Reeds and having him tell me about the NEW pink ones. Before that we had to go and buy finger nail polish. Man that was embarrassing
