Bait/Lure Scarcity  

 

Svängsta spinnaren

Infomation and actual bait bought and given to me by good friend and ABU expert (which is my opinion) Uffe Edefuhr in Sweden.  Photos from part of his collection ended up in Simon Shimomura's excellent books. I am in great company. Thanks so much Uffe!

The Svängsta Spinnaren is just amazing, One person made the scales by hand with a tool  !!!!!!

Not one of this baits look the same as the others!!!!

Very unique! And extremely collectable.

 

The Svangsta Spinnaren should have an old red feather hook, the one with silver foil on the body of the hook!

I wonder if any other old baits were made or finished by hand. I would love to hear from you if you can throw some light on this matter. (Wayne)

Thanks to Bo from Denmark!

You say you'd like to know of any other lures finished by hand... 
Some other early lures in color Z were finished by hand i.e. the golden stribes on the lures featured on Facette and ABU-Spinnaren and maybe one or two other lures. (any pictures available please??) But I don't recall any others with the hand made scale markings as on the Svängsta-Spinnaren on your link, so that could very well be one of a kind.
Very nice to get some new knowledge from looking at www.realsreels.com  :-)
Later mate,
Bo
 

 

MY COLLECTION OF LURES started off very small. See pic

If you have any other lures, that are un-needed or doubles in your collection and are available for swapping or a reasonable fee, I would be very pleased to hear from you.
