If the box belongs to a shovelnose, will it always say Seattle on the box?
Just picked up a couple more shovels in excellent plus condition with matching Seattle Boxes. Makes 16 now.I have a ton of old paperwork and binders of info from some of the "old guard" plug collectors that I was fortunate enough to have been given over the years. The link below is to a very good book by Russel Christianson which has a good portion of Jim Maxwells interview with Minser in it. Well worth the price of admission.

Did the rower continue to row? Wouldn't that set the hook for you?Beautiful and still effective. Lost one tonight on a (Tomic repaint) pearl pink shovel. Unfortunately, hit on the rowers rod in the holder, which is always a bit problematic in getting to it in time to strike the fish and set the hook. Was on for about 10 seconds. Saw one other fish weighed tonight at 27 lbs.
In this case yes. As the theory goes, if the rower puts a couple big strokes into it when the fish hits that might set the hook, but there are a lot of variables involved including speed; are you going with the current or against it; angle the fish hits from, etc. The bottom line is that if you are not holding the rod to feel the first change in action and strike in that second, your odds are lower of a good hook. The rower must also be continuously twisting around to check for other boats and avoiding potential collisions and may not see the hit precisely when it happens.Did the rower continue to row?

Really, whether the fish is well hooked is largely up to the fish.In this case yes.

The shovel delivers! My guest boated a 24 and later hooked a big fish this evening but unfortunately shook the hook as we rowed out of the pool. One more tyee on the board tonight. Fish starting to roll in the pool. Time to weather the conditions. The fish are here.Really, whether the fish is well hooked is largely up to the fish.
shovel or not, wood louie next to stubbie (I think) both 51/4.The shovel delivers!

If wood, it will not be a shovelnose. The stubby was 5 1/4 long but was not a shovel. Still nice and the collectors like them.shovel or not, wood louie next to stubbie (I think) both 51/4.
looking at the stubbie, same length and width but the scoop is way deeper on the wood louie and deeper and wider that any plug I have. the question is would that give it the same action as a shovel? I assume some have both plugs and might have direct knowledge.If wood, it will not be a shovelnose. The stubby was 5 1/4 long but was not a shovel. Still nice and the collectors like them.
