Vintage Equipment Group

I know this sounds strange, but vintage equipment like fiberglass rods still have a place! We can talk shop and discuss why some vintage gear is just as good (if not better) than the new stuff.

I sure am master. Incredible workmanship. He managed to put that many hooks on a wooden body, and not fear of the hooks just snapping off. That's confident in his work.

HEY LEO what you doing , following me around here ? HHHHHHHHA HHHHHHHA AND YUP those lures are hookers for sure !!!!!! The guy does beautiful work doesn't he ......

All I can say is, "YOUCH!!"

5 trebles = one nasty hookup, or one ultra effective way to lip/snag/impale the victim.

These are my collection of LITTLE SAC BAIT CO. lures. Made by a fella named LANIER FEEMSTER , out of Springfield Mo. Great modern baits made the old fashioned way, with WOOD and by hand ...... Great new old style stuff.......
