Who's catching what, and where?

Interesting information for someone who is an avid bass fisherman for the past 25 years or so, and only catches trout and salmon by accident once in a while but from a slightly different perspective.

I don't own a single one of these lures anymore. I used to have access to anyone of these lures and some experimental versions of this lure when they were sold by the (original) J. A. Green Company.

Many years ago I built a progressive stamping dies for one of the smaller versions of this lure.

The die that made these could spit out about 160 blanks (lures with no split rings or hooks ) per minute. Somewhere in my basement in a collection of old "stuff" I built over the years. I have a skeleton scrap strip that shows how the raw coil of materiel goes thru the die and makes the lure. My dad if he was still here could tell you about every single aspect about manufacturing these lures.

Thanks for the fish photo's ....... some nice looking catches.

That person may be a poacher. The season on Winni closed on Sept. 30 for Salmon & Trout.
