Fish it, ditch it, or pitch it?

[Adler]

It's time to play everyone's favourite new game... Fish it, Ditch it, or Pitch it. I'm referring to some old tackle that's been passed down, some still in original packaging. I want to know if I should fish it (at some point in the future), ditch it, as in it's now garbage, or pitch it as in sell it cause the world has gone crazy and it's now worth something (probably not much). Feel free to play along with your own stuff, and to share if something is of interest to you or if you have any tidbits as to how to fish.

First up is this Super Strip Teaser by Rhys Davis. It's too bad there are no dates on here, but I'm thinking 1970s. In original packaging. Priced at $1.77 and appears to be from Canadian Tire. Looks like a modern teaser head but intended for herring strip. Actually have 2 in package, and found a couple more in the box in well used condition

Fish it !!!!!!

Next up...flashtails! These I'm excited about..they must be fished!

Fish em. Coho season.

And...a roller baiter???? Huh?

 

[Adler]

Some plugs. I haven't fished many plugs but I see others doing it and I plan on it. Unfortunately, two of these have some serious salt buildup or damage, may see if I can clean them up. The small one says Witch Doctor in the bottom, if that means something to anyone.

This one is pretty...super shiny, looks unused, comes in it's own box. The Alaskan plug by Luhr Jensen and Sons of Hood River, Oregon.

I grew up in the interior, fished flat fish in the lakes for trout. This looks like a worn down but massive flat fish in steroids! For size I included the tape...it's big, over 5" long. Hooks are huge and in good shape, so makes me wonder how they can be when the plug is so worn down. It says T50 on the top.

 

[Adler]

Anyone know what these tools are used for? The bottom one says Saw All, the other has no print.

Last one for now..dodgers! I know these should all be fished! But they all look so shiny. And I stuck a dodger like thing in the middle, I assume the two small blades have the same affect and are intended for salmon fishing.

When I was in Port Alberni last week and old timer told me he had lost a nice one on a Alaskan plug. I say fish it

 

[Fishalot]

Those Abe &Als are great for coho

Brentwood Bay cement plant days. Those bucktails also produced a lot of Chinooks on early 80's in the inlet. Specifically the red and blue were always good with a dodger.

Strip bait/heads works for chinooks but its a lost art. You just to cut them as you can't buy the bait pre-cut like old days. You have to adjust trolling a bit with those. Clear and Chartreuse were always the best.

The bottom tool is a fishing hook disgorger!!

These in the different variations of green were our go-tos in the 70s-80s, often drug behind those Abe-n-Al flashers!

 

[Adler]

4 old reels from the box...almost feel like things I should polish up and put on a shelf, or ditch...not sure I would fish them, other than the moocher. Also 3 are left handed, which I am not.

Top one is a cheese knife and fork....... Bottom one is a hook disgorger {remover}

This sounds fun, though we’re going to need to see some results! I’ve got a bunch of those old strip teasers as well, @SpringVelocity is there much difference to fishing whole herring other then a slightly different action, and you would get 2 strips per herring?
