I went to a garage sale today here in Austin, Texas, and they had a number of really cool fishing lures. I bought a bunch of stuff, but perhaps the coolest ones were ones that I could not buy. The people having the garage sale were a young couple who had just moved here, in their grandfather had been a fisherman, lure collector, and apparently a lure maker as well! They had a bunch of the lures he and hand carved, but unfortunately I was not able to buy one because they have decided to keep them all. That is easily understandable. I'm going to help them sort through their collection here in the coming weeks, so I'm hoping that maybe I can get one of these as payment. They really are fantastic. Anyway, Bill Justice is the man who made this lure, he was from Alabama. Apparently he would sit on his porch and carve these out by hand, and then paint them and trade them with people from Japan and other places. I thought you might enjoy taking a look!
