Title: Good karma returned
Post by: stguy on May 15, 2019, 05:45 AM

I always enjoy taking different people out on my boat, some of them are complete strangers that I meet just randomly, I took this older fellow out one day last fall, can't even remember how we met, he asked me if I was interested in a box of lures he had, said they were old and ugly and if I wanted them I could have them, well I ran into him last night and he gave me the box with a tangled up mess of I'm guessing 100 or more lures. On the way home I stopped for gas and while the pump was pumping I peeked in the box again and these were sitting on top of the pile.

Kinda anxious to see what else there is in the box!!

Another cool one

Anyone know what this one is? It looks like it is made out of Bakelite.

Took me a while but I got them all untangled, going to be fun trying all these out, never used most of them never heard of some of them, ended up being 7 of the old school suttons, a couple look like custom paint jobs.

I have used many of those in the past , NGKs , hot shots , fire plugs , tad pollys , Al penna diamonds , moose luck wobbler , sin and glo , Cleo’s and locos , that is a great catch 👍

Spin-n-glows behind a set of cowbells, or in other places a dodger, are a Great Lakes togue standby.

Great story and a good haul.  Trying new (or new-to-me) lures is always fun, especially when they work.

 JDK I rigged up a spin-n-glo for lakers through the ice , didn’t set them on fire but did hang a few

We used to use them for fluke in the salt.  Worked well.  I've trolled them here a lot for togue.  Minimal success at best.

I'm guessing by the lack of land in that picture, that's not Sebago.

I'm going to try it on Sebago this weekend, I've heard they're way more effective with a  night crawler hooked on them.

an old friend fished Sebago a lot an all he used was a night crawler on a tandem hook rig and he caught all kinds of salmon every trip.

We’ve used them in Lake Ontario and drifting steelhead in the salmon river
 I think around 1980 give or take a bit
