smerchly Posted September 25, 2022 Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 No ,not the dogs .....but a while back I was all teary eyed from losing my fav. husky jerk that has rewarded me with many fish . The Dalhousie bottom claimed it and some of my harnesses over the years . I had a brain fart today ....maybe I have another one in my old tackle box that has been collecting dust .... When I opened the 'vault' my eyes feasted on 2 brand new Jerks , still in the boxes & 2 different sizes ! I'm a happy camper as they will soon be getting wet after all the dry years in the basement tackle shop . This box isn't even close to 10% of the lures I have . Some are very old , like 7" Rebels, J-13's and suspended Raps etc.... toaster, Davidp16, Bubba14 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For true , back in the 80's we used a lot of orange lures for spring salmon in the brown water for better attraction . The Fire Plug and jointed raps were very popular . I painted a few of my raps and rebels orange too. What I like most about the husky jerks is they imitate a big minnow with good side to side action even when using them with a steel leader.

Jwl1 Posted September 26, 2022 Report Share Posted September 26, 2022 Those orange jointed raps used to crush the browns back in the day in port when the fish where being finicky smerchly and Tyler0420 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deetch Posted September 27, 2022 Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 J13 orange or J9 flatlining behind the water slide just west of Jordan to the canning factory. Dynomite. I know the water slide is gone but has the canning factory been torn down. Those were our gps marks way back when. Lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted September 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 Your showing your age deetch .... I can't remember the water slide there , only the one at Port Dal. beach . I think all the canning factories are gone now, last one I remember was at Port Weller. I remember lining up a tree with a building etc.to 'mark' our drifts. "Good Pickeral Spots" Then ,the graph paper entered and we thought that was great technology ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember some of those spots on Erie where we lined up land markers. I still use line marker buoys at Quinte when searching for perch . ....got a few things from Walmart today and checked out their downsized fishing dept, They had a few Husky Jerks at $16.47 , close to $20 with the tax . I have to wonder how much they paid for it wholesale . Of course , no get ! But I did buy a new puter chair for only $99.99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
