Glad you made this post because I found a great fishing book by Gary Soucie. "Hook, Line & Sinker" The Complete Angler's Guide to Terminal Tackle. Bought it on Amazon for $5.28 with shipping. Wished I had found it when it was published about 20 years ago. Take a look at the topics he covers.http://www.amazon.com/Hook-Line-Sinker-Complete-Terminal/dp/0805033718#reader_0805033718
Seahunt do you know the guy's name who made the spoons I have the original dies for 3 sizes of lobo spoons A friend of mine bought them 20 or so years ago made a few spoons and then put the dies in his cellar . He was going to scrap them and another friend of mine took them. A few weeks ago my friend gave me a few spoons and told me he had the dies for them and he was going to scrap them so I took them. I'm refurbishing them now and hope to get them in working order and make a few spoons
Sorry to have misled you. Had my facts turned around. "Another colorful friend of Jim's (Warner) was Valentine Skiff, a part-time lake resident who made a very effective copper spoon called the "Wardie Wobbler." He also made some smaller sized trolling spoons, and these were deadly. Skiff would often convince Jim to play hooky and go out on the water. A lure similar to the Wardie Wobbler exists today, known as the "Lobo Spoon." The original 'Wardie' is now a collectable treasure, and a link to the great fishing history of Lake Winnipesaukee."On goes the search for the Lobo.
