Luhr Jensen Manistee
« on: October 27, 2016, 11:42:19 am »
Does anyone have a local fishing tackle store that still sells these? Just curious. I know they stopped making them, and they are my go to for Lake Trout. I would like to pick some up for my father in law.

I've never heard of them but try some old time bait/tackle shops or country stores that carry fishing supplies. Years ago a friend worked for DNR in GA and loved to fish for jack fish(chain pickerel) in the Okefenokee Swamp in south GA. His favorite lure was a Pfluger spin bait with red  tail and a large willow leaf blade. The only place he could find them was at old country stores and usually had to wipe the dust off of them.

Joe the big on-line auction site has a ton, cheap enough.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

They are getting a bit up there as the numbers dwindle. I've also thought of making a jig and making my own. I'll keep my eyes out. Thanks.

Throw a picture up. I run across old tackle boxes from up North at the Flea Market all of the time. Most of the tackle is worthless down here.

Color really doesn't matter as I can repaint them. But this is the beast.
