Still trying to track down early lure manufactures.
Found this one in Angler's Digest Shooters Monthly June 1953. Mentions produced at his North Coburg Factory Anybody happen to have one. Interesting side trebles, (note long stem)thought it would have effected the action. Regards John ![]() |

Hi John
When I was much younger my Grandmother used to always say to me if you do something wrong it will keep coming back to you. This is one of those cases About 8 months ago I bought an old tackle box and some effects in a cardboard box which appeared to be mostly full of old tangled line Among this tangled line I found 4 old Nils Master Lure some in a poor state and 3 of these weird metal tubes with eyes and fixed fan blades on the side No hooks or fittings Two of these where metal and I think 1 may have been plastic 1 had a chip in the side of the fan 1 had loops on the side similar to the the one you have pictured and 1 had a small split in the tube about 5mm long. I thought that they had been some type of Chinese or Asian Fisherman trap designed to trap fishermen into buying them as a fishing lure I kept 1 and the other 2 after leaving them on my bench for a long time finally threw them in the bin about 7 weeks ago Since then I have seen a few go on EBay and have seen even more mentioned and pictured in articles I have been browsing Now you are looking for some My ignorance in throwing them in the bin just keeps coming back at me. I still have 1 but it dose not have the loops for the side hooks. Cheers Kim |

John I think it looks a bit like a slothed Devon. If so the side trebles is attached to a splitring so big there is place fore the Trebles to sit along the side. This Split ring is going into a slot made in the Devon. Usually the rear Hooks is mounted in a wire, where there is a bead like the one on the Pict. This bead prevent the hook to go into the sloth This way to mount is very common fore old Devons here in eourope.

Thanks Per
In the ad it refers to lure moving effortlessly in the water I would have thought it would have moved irregularly due to the side hard ware. Regards John |
