Pleasant surprise....

Maybe because they were having problems with the finish splitting off of the bait?!

I know I bought mine new and only used it a few times, only to find that the body was soaking up water and splitting the finish off of it.

Just a guess mind you...

Me, no, but my dad's long time combo is a Fenwick (not sure of model) and a Mitchell Garcia 301!

 

 

 

Not trying to steal your thread Mike , i think you'd like this . Mr Sinclair heres my 1960 Mitchell 410 , a little worst for wear but still in perfect working order , maybe one day i'll find the perfect vintage rod to put it on .

Pretty sure than was called a Strawberry vamp, and it was one of our go to lures at Point Au Baril in the 60`s and 70`s. At one point back then I had a half a dozen of them, pike would play hell with the finish.

 

As I recall all of mine were purchased in the Parry Sound - Pointe Au Baril area, they weren`t a lure that was regularly seen or used in this area, perhaps due to a pike shortage in my area.
