Shovel Nose Louie

better pictures of plug and some things that are from the Doc's box, he kept a lot of loose lures in these Lilly snap boxes including scalpels. good enough for humans, equally so for fish....still very sharp!View attachment 48043 View attachment 48044

Very nice..Thanks for sharing.

Not sure what your plug is,was thinking maybe a altered Martin? Has a Tillicum looking paint pattern though so maybe Sea King.

perhaps a Frumento ? for rigging the seaking shovel, as Furnace Face says, just run it on the normal bead chain set up. For the smaller hole Sea Kings run a swivel and hook as you would on a pin pulled Tomic... Im not getting into a bidding war with him.. He needs all the help he can get

Thanks will see if I can find a pic of a Frumento and match it. I picked these Lyman's up today, 2 are shovel like rest are neat a flattie and a glass eyed fly rod model, some marked some not.

Note date on pic is wrong and curious as to value of these smaller Lyman's, any thoughts?

That bottom right plug is really cool. Have you fished it in the salt?

have never fished any of my plugs in the salt chuck, hope to. I have figured out on my previous post, unknown plug that I have is a Tartan.

 

[nootkaassassin]

Nice find, even better if that plug checks out as a Tartan $$$

 

[CRGreg]

Nice little plugs !!

[rockfisher]

yeah, they are pretty neat! the plug that I thought was a tartan, evidently is not.....so here is another UFO, any clue on this one, fat little guy. ?

 

[nootkaassassin]

maybe a Game Guide?

 

[nootkaassassin]

Yeah pretty sure it’s a Game Guide, I just found this in my stash and looks similar. Also found a flat face Louie style Game Guide also.

yeah it clearly matches, plus it came with a 'flattie" Phantom. also nice plugs Nootka, thanks for sharing.

so, going through some more stored plugs I came across this plug. it is unusual, looks like a Game Guide but has a gaff clip for hook and notched face w/scoop, any idea on this one?

 

[nootkaassassin]

You keep finding these cool old plugs....No eyes on the Plug!

That is for sure Game Guide as well

 

[nootkaassassin]

Hey db340, so the no eyes was done on purpose?

Hey db340, so the no eyes was done on purpose?

Yes, not sure the reason, but that plug is always single hook, no eyes and that color combo

 

[rockfisher]

cool, another B.C. plug confirmed. I have another neat plug that I will post later. another question has anyone fished a Minser 'stubbie' and what is it like? I have not seen much info on it.

Thanks for the info. I haven’t seen this style of Game Guide. Will have to put it on my wish list.
