About 7 or 8 years ago I bought a tackle box at a garage sale from an older gentleman who had to give up fishing because of a broken hip (He was 80), in it was a large variety of spoons that he had used/collected over the years. Some had patent dates of 1915/16/17 stamped on them. The larger brass I will not fish and want to make a display case to go along with 3 lures that my Dad used in Puget Sound when He was growing up in the 30's. I do use one that there was quite a few of and have had good success with it, it is a #3 size "freak". Cool spoon, it is bent in a wavy pattern that makes an awesome flutter. Worked really well in Sekiu last September and I have caught some nice summer kings on it. Old tackle is cool to find!!
Good luck and tight lines, Jeff laugh laugh
