The Friday Funhouse

Video of the Week

A biography of contemporary lure maker Leo Talaska, Sr.



12 Things I Would Buy If Only I Could Afford Them

A nice Barton, Alexander & Waller 1880s New York ball handled reel starts out the Funhouse in style.


A Creek Chub Deluxe Wag Tail Chub in the box is amazing.


This 1902 Pardee Minnow is an amazing thing.


Seamaster Spinning reels are super popular.


A color like Goldfish is great on any lure, but especially on Injured Minnows.


My favorite reel is this Heddon-made Al Foss "Easy Control" baitcaster.


Despite what Finn Featherfurd might say, I like these Winchester underwater minnows.


The Heddon Dowagiac Torpedo in orange coach dog is gorgeous.


This Shakespeare Bass Bug is poised to break some records for this kind of lure.


A hollow metal Radford spring lure is a superb bait.


A 1932 Heddon catalog is one of the great ones from the early days of plastic lures.


Goble goble goble.


As always, have a safe weekend, and be good to each other, and yourself.
