TheRealTheRick Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 I'm, starting this thread for some help. I'm interested in builders (no longer in business and still producing) that have made a wooden eel skin plug. I don't have a good handle on the older plugs and hope/know I'm missing some of the builders still producing. Thanks for looking. Still Producing: BM, CCW, Lordship, Afterhours, GRS, Lex Lures, Mike Fixter, Surf Asylum No Longer Producing: Capt' Andy (old stock), Lupo, Masterlure, Pichney, Greenpoint, BC, Tatoo, Greenpoint, JnSki, Stan Kuzia/John Gibbs, Blue Streak Tackle, Eeb Lure, Steve Sylver AKA Capesams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHT STRIKES Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 You can cross off as still producing Greenpoint,BC and for the most part Tattoo.. Both Kevin ( GreenPoint) along with Corey & Brian ( BC) have not turned any plugs over the last couple years and Mike ( Tattoo's Tackle) I believe sold the Name to a new owner but I have not seen any new product yet, but could be wrong..

Giant Eel Skin needle. 11 total made. I was re-reading some older issues of Surfcaster's Journal and saw a pic of 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy C Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Noted, and thank you. I added another name and it may be one of the hardest to find/collect.

Good luck with your search - the ones you are talking about are mine - picture attached - even though they made 11 - I only know of 3 in collections and 2 are mine - sorry they are not going anywhere. Stan Kuzia told me these were the only two colors John Gibbs painted them in. These I had Stan sign a couple years a go when he showed up at the SWLCC show in Bourne Mass. These are 11 inches long. The white needle in the picture is an early Silent George Needlefish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishLava2MTK Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Cool thread. Here are my BM eel skins. Top 2oz pencil isn't an eelskin but the same color. The bottom jr has 1 belly swivel. AKotoun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
