Hi Everyone, I am new to StriperTalk and am looking forward to contributing as I can to the community. At present, however, I am in need of a little help!

It is my friend's birthday this Saturday- he's helped me to learn about how to fish the surf and the bays and to make my own equipment.

I want to give back in some way and came across these pictures of the Frech banana plug- they look alot like one of the plugs my friend had made long ago under the tutelage of HIS mentor. I was thinking it would be a great present to give him the formal schematic for this plug, especially considering that he lost this very plug that he had made as a kid (snapped off at night in late October and he went swimming for it in some heavy surf and couldn't come up with it, by way of illustrating that this was something of real value to him).

If anyone can help direct me to the right place, I would be grateful indeed! I know from researching it that the Fisherman published Frech's articles in 1988, but I haven't had luck so far finding a copy.

Many thanks for your help!

Just PM me your address and I'll send it along with some corrections you will need. I won't be able to mail it until tomorrow, however.

Hey George,
How did you make out with the Jack Frech Banana plug?
Did you ever fish it with any results?
I just found all my 15 articles from Jack and thought I would also post a
few of his plugs! Hope you enjoy a nice used one with glass eyes and a New decal eye that has never hit the water.

Anyone have all the articles on a computer ?
I'd love to have them in digital format.
