From the same April 1966 issue of Argosy...

That stringer of bass would now be illegal in all 50 states.

Don't fish those states. ;D

"Mmmmm. Lure Glow......."(In a Homer Simpsonesque fashion)

I wonder if it has ever been true that any lure has ever been banned in any state??

The only lure banned in all states except Alabama is dynamite. 

what did you do, buy a bunch of old mags at a garage sale?

No.  It's the April 1966 issue of Argosy Magazine.  Argosy was a men's magazine.  No, not girlie pictures.  It covered men's interests.  Had sports articles, hunting and fishing articles, and lots of fiction stories - mainly pulp-fiction type stories.  This issue happened to have an a letter my dad sent in and he kept the magazine and gave it to me a few days ago.  His letter was cool, but the real treasure were all the fishing ads. 

Yeah... we cheat a lot in Rochester

I tried to find a record of Leonard Hartman and his fishing records and there is nothing. Sounds like the old "make a paid add look like an article" trik to me.

Might of been a new trick back then.
