[spearman]

The first picture are some I bought at a sale (Bud Peterson estate) not sure if he made them himself or what, all of them are hand made and hand carved. The forth picture are my faves, the middle one I've had since I was 14 retrevied it from the bottom of the lake many times. The one with the broken fin has a unusal story lost it on lake minnewaska 15 years ago on the glenwood end went to a sale 2 yrs ago and bought it from a guy on the starbuck end for $5 was it the same one hard to tell for sure but looks like it to me. Many fish have been taken with these just sitting still in the hole.

Nice...

The bear creek ones are true workers that is for sure. I have a bear creek golden pike that looks and works good in the lake I spear but it is the larger size. I do have one of those small red and white bear creeks that I like to use too.

After looking at the dark green one with the white spots I was wondering is that a repainted bru-ell?

Nice decoys and spears.

The sunfish decoy with the star eye pattern is by Rudy Zwieg. He is now deceased.

I think I recognize a few of the older ones but can't connect them to anyone in particular right now.

thanks for posting these!

The spear on the far right looks like a Henry Fick.

all of them are nice, however, IMO there is nothing that beats a bear creek!

[spearman]
