Is This Mepps Vintage??

[goodentight]

Love finding bank side goodies. I cant tell you how many fish I have smashed finding a torn/ half ripped pinkie bank side.

Before I even rigged up bank side yesterday I found a 5.5 raven float bankside. Brand new. Exactly what I use.Gold Jerry... GOLD!

alright since this is up here I have the same mepps as u I also have a mepps 2 kriss made in france I don't know if they still make them or not but I figured I would post a pic and see if anyone knows more about it. it was given to me in a tackle box full of goodies from my grandfather and belonged to a good friend of his who passed away around 2001 he didn't have any kids or anything, soo I know for sure mine were obviously purchased before that there was also a few unique salmon spoons as he fished out in lake o quite often.

That one on the right looks very old.. The way its painted.

I know a guy that buys and sells antique fishing equipment , last year I was cleaning out my parents garage and came across a old green tackle box and it had some old stuff in it , I started doing some online research and came across this Jim guy , so I emailed him some pictures of what I had and that day he contacted me and came over to my place and looked at what I had , he was very knowledgeable , told me tons of info on the stuff I had and then bought them from me , he is also one of the directors for the Canadian Antique Fishing Tackle Association . He also sells brand new rapala's at a cheap price , pretty much half the price you pay at the stores .

If anyone wants his email address PM me and I will send it to you .

Does he have a website for the Rapalas just to see what he has???

No he doesn't have a website that I know of .

 

[Kit]

He should get one. Lol.

 

[BrutemanAl]

lol , he goes by word of mouth , its just a past time for him in his retirement , if i remember correctly he did tell me he was going to have a book available this year with all the rapala's he is able to get , previous years he got them by the box load and didnt know what would be in the boxes , but now he is able to order specific lures .

Let me know when he's got it out.
