Luring

Just when I thought I'd have nothing to write about.

When I was a kid anxiously awaiting the first day of school, somebody bought me a binder that was littered with pictures of fishing lures. At the time it was kinda cool; I had no idea what they were, but they were very colorful and marked with words that simply didn't make any sense to me.

In retrospect, it was a fairly odd gift. I had never gone fishing or even expressed interest in doing so. I hated the taste of fish (still do), and have grown to find the whole concept of fishing barbaric.

Nonetheless, fishing lures are kinda neat looking, and through a roundabout link from Ken Jennings' blog, I found this site of vintage fishing lures.

I wonder if I still have that binder somewhere.

Hey there Fertanish,

Neat blurb about the luring effect of fishing lures on peeps. I've been lured for about five decades now and still going strong. :-)

The picture on your blog here is a Bomber Model A, in the "Firetiger" color pattern. This is a VERY productive lure all across the land.

Cheers!
