Q: Hi there, I was just wondering how you know this is a 1940s squid jig? It looks like any other 10 year old jig. Any idea what company made it? Cheers <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':zorro:' /> 15-Apr-09
A: Becaude it came from a deceased estate which contained lures that were used just after ww two. Also modern day squid jigs are not made from from the materialss used in this jig and they DO NOT look like this jig when you handle them. I was born in 1945 and my grandfather had lures just like this since stolen and lastly I know my history of Aussie fishing lures AND WOULD NOT CLAIM THEY WERE 1940S, 1950S LURES IF THEY WERE MODERN!!!!See my feedback
Any old salts out there, was the squid jigs looking like this back in the 1940s? And anyone know the history of squid jigs?
