prodgalson Posted July 22, 2018 Posted July 22, 2018 Hello, Its been a long time. I have been away from fishing for over 30 years for I devoted myself to blacksmithing/armoring. Building medieval armor for reenactors to beet each other up and enjoy doing it. I was raised up around bass fishing all my younger life and even entered a few tournaments as I got older. My Father was Jack K Smithwick's pro rep back in the late 50s and early 60s and I never had to purchase a lure back then. Now I am looking at designing and custom building lures as a hobby. I was proud to see that one of my suggestions back then became a production lure called the Chug Horse. I suggested a blend between the carrot top and the larger devil horse. I was given several of them off the fist run, and unfortunately all my fishing equipment was stolen when I lived in KY. I had several antiques like original buck & Bawl Jrs as well, ( the flat face ones ). But now the bug has bitten again and my wife thinks I nuts for all the tackle I had purchased. Now I know that the Devil lives on Ebay with all that temptation of the lures that are no longer in production. But I have yet to see a flat face buck & bawl Jr. But I did find one in a yard sale that I can use as a pattern. I look forward to teaching my granddaughter what I know aaa Remember and a lot of practice for myself. Alan B the prodigal son for fishing. 4 Quote

sfpalatka Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 Welcome to the forum. My daughter and son still fish and hunt with me. All my kin grew up hunting and fishing to gather. You might call it a "Family Tradition". I no we grew up with go family values and that's what I instill in mind. I thank you and everyone who is still able to spend time with your children or grandchildren. 2 Quote
