You guys have got to be the luckiest people! Your wife wins the awesome grand prize from The Ellen Show, this from the Howell's, and you've mentioned your wife wins stuff all the time too. 

 

Congrats! 

 

Another one from my brothers lure collection.

Shaped like a catfish, painted like a trout....This one another one of my bros and has no markings, but is clearly suffering from a identity crisis.

Over the course of the season, I catch more fish out of this boat.

Hmmmmm, where'd I leave that block for the gas pedal?

I love Zooms.  They taste just like gummy bears.  Senkos are too salty.

Thanks. Looks like a match too me. Color scheme and shape had me puzzled. No marking make it hard to ID without randomly stumbling across one. I've been going thru the photos I took of some of his stuff and trying to figure it out. He's got a lot of cool looking lures for sure.

I'm glad it's you and not me. I am very happy not having that many reels to deal with. Good luck getting them all done by the time you have open water up there.

I feel so inadequate.

Must be that time of year.

I think the only two that like the cold better than you! beautiful dogs!!

Another day another swimbait. Here's another one from my bros collection. I'm not sure what make or brand or even what era it's from. Unmarked and has the signs that it was heavily fished at some point in time. What I found interesting was it actually has fins. It's really weird feeling in hand. Almost feels like it would stick to the wall if you threw it.

 

 

 

I was looking at the following image and thought about the potential for old lures or just modern lures as desktop wallpaper....Hmm

 

 

I think next time I visit him I'll have to find something better as a backdrop and keep the wallpaper potential in mind. Never really gave lure posing a thought.

Here's a thread where I detail every step in shooting a lure:

I'm too scared to tear down that far. I always have extra parts.

Not me, thank you. Couple of my spinners are 40+ years old...I've never taken them down that far, and they still work just fine thank you.

 

Cover plate off, clean it out good, re-grease and re-oil what needs to be, cover plate back on. That's my limit.

I'm tapping out! My nerves get bad just looking at it! 

 

I like the idea, and maybe I'll practice doing that with a junk reel. Maybe.

 

Maybe

 

 

Doubtful

 

But maybe ?

That's the easy side, this is the more tricky side. Took me three assemblies to work out I had the yoke in back to front LOL.

Nice I'll take a look when home. Glad too see I'm not alone posing lures for photo ops.
