Very Funny!!

I'm with Keta. There not worth taking space up in your tackle box.

Especially the top pink one and the watermelon one.

If you do decide to sell them please let us know. Did you get any of the original box's with them??? There worth allot more if you do.

You may want to read the following post before you do anything with them:

Chinook Primer - Part II

I think that you may want to hang onto them. If not, as you can see from above, you may be able to find some takers here.

All but two of them are made of cedar, two are plastic, so I would imagine the cedar ones would be more valuable.

<font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helv">Funny thing-you had those same Plugs for sale on Ebay last week-kind of a fast turnover from the garage sale.

Well good for you turnover is where the money is made.

Glad to see you decided that I was right about them not being Balsa after all.

Won't your EBay auction help you to determine the value?

I cancelled the auction due to confusion. You tried to tell me they were all plastic. Funny how you never responded to me email when I told you they were cedar instead of balsa.

Tim, the only one I can reasonably identify is the one at the top of the left side stack with the pink stripe. That is clearly a Tomic plug, with the single hook attachment on the same shaft as the line attachement loop. I would keep that one for ocean salmon. For the others (where it is visible) they seem to have two hook attachments and use small trebles. They are also fatter than the Tomics. If the hook attachment only screws into the body (vs one piece with the line attachment), it may not be a good design for big kings, but rather smaller fish. At any rate, you would need to ditch the trebles and put a large single on for ocean salmon anyway (as was done on a couple of them).

Put them in a box and mail them to me. I'll destroy them for you.

<font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helv">That was an honourable thing to do-I feel good that you took my advice even though I don't-as you say-have X ray vision.

<font size="2" face="verdana,arial,helv">I told you they weren't Balsa-never are-and were probably plastic.
I see you did some web searching on your own-a little initiative never hurts when trying to flog something you know zip about.

BTW-The Lymans I've never had a lot of luck with-I own a few but the hollow Luhr Jensens and Tomics work better in BC for whatever reason.

The Lymans are made in the Okanagan somewhere and are very popular there troling dead slow for large Trout.

Looks like a herd of Tomics and J-Plug types. All will catch fish. There is a guy on Ebay who sells the Tomics out of BC by the truck load. He bought a wharehouse full when the commercial industry went to pot.
I have caught salmon and yes TUNA !! on them. Caught 2 of 11 TUNA on a yellow pink thing a few weekends ago. Should have no problem selling them - yes if they have the original boxes there looks to be some collectibles in the bunch.

Hey Rodbender, your comments belong in private e-mail. No one cares to smell your laundry so please air it else where.

crabbait · 07-24-2003, 10:37 PM

Fishplay - I agree.

I have a coffee table shadow box in my living room with all types of fishing gear in it. I have lures just like you purchased with there original boxes. Do not loose the boxes!!!!!! The lures look like there in great shape and they would look good with the ones that i already have. If you do not have the boxes they came in it up to you whether you try them out on a fishing line.
