@Vantage Tackle I’m green with envy. Would love fish an old wooden one & compare to the current version on the market. Some of the well-kept old and/or vintage lures could still catch them today I’d bet. Arbogast would probably do everyone a huge favor by modernizing the hook attachments on models with cleats & upgrading the hooks.

That would not be fun to unhook.

It flapped around and unhooked itself before we got it back to the boat.

 

Thankfully, I was seriously thinking about the risk of rabies
