Title: Luhr Jensen Manistee
Post by: JoJoDapyro 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.

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.
