Conrads/Slopeheads

[tlapinski]

I always wondered why more weren't made. I love the ones I have, but it is scary fishing them at times. Got a couple Pichney conrads that swim WAY deeper than the BM ones. Dave, let me know when they might be available.

My understanding is that they were originally used specifically at sandy point. Once the cowboys came out the conrads fell by the wayside.


This seems like the winter of the conrad. Just got my hands on some beautiful maple


*** This is specific to BeachMaster Conrads***

Conrad named after Conrad Malicoate who still, in advanced years, lives in P-Town. Made of an axe handle by him to swim deep and reach far into to rip at Race Point. One was lost then found on beach by Tony Chiarrapo and given to one Frank McHugh of New York who hung out in later years at MacReed's in Orleans, Via Frank McHugh to Danny Pichney. Pichney named it the Conrad after Malicoate though the two never met and Mailcoate did not fish that often and eventually just stopped altogether. Malicoates daughter is involved in local politics in P-Town.

Thought you would like to get it right before you start any more "stories".

That is all, you can all go back to plug fantasy land now.
