[QUOTE=numbskull;658135]Looks like the "Mother of All Nilsmasters". Are you familiar with those plugs?[/QUOTE
The Nilsmaster are great plugs that have been forgotten in the crowd I fish with. We used them alot in the smaller sizes for Weakfish and they worked very well. Most folks won't throw them now and collect them as they have become scarce around here. I have tried without much success to play around with that shape. Hard to through wire. Might have to give it another shot.

Just sold one in the Classifieds a while back that I modified the lip on - I was thinning out the herd - there's still a few places you can find them, didn't realize they're out of production - or are they -
Nice handcarve, knew that shape right away...
"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
