Has anyone seen this story? Green River Archaeological Society's Jan edition tells that a KY man found what may be the oldest fishing lure found in North America. It's called a 'gorge'...story tells also that it's made of locust wood and may be the only wooden one in existence. WOW!!

Did a little more research, the 'loafstone' (upper rt hand pic) is a tie-on fish weight. 

Looks like a jerk bait! That's kinda what I thought it was until I read the page.

 

Very cool, thanks for posting that.

You're welcome.

Neat story, Jimmy!
