pearl wobblers

[the runt]

Hi folks,came across some old pearl wobblers.These are made of mother of pearl shell.they seem to be a little different from each other,they all have a small red dot.They are about 2 inches long.what would be a target fish to try on.

might work on coho,sounds similar to an white apex

Could it be a Bucktail fly spinner? eman

 

[the runt]

I remember those things,where did you find them Runt?It also seems to me there was a plastic copy of them in the late 60's I believe if my memory serves me correctly they were called Henry Smith specials,sort of similar to apex's.My uncle and Dad used them for coho.DAN

They are Henry Smith Specials,sold in the 70s. Still have 1.

My fishing buddie used one of those at Kyuquot Sound 2 days ago.
Coho loved it.
One thing we ran into was that the rings holding the hook and leader had to be replace with new ones.
I will be looking to add some to my tool box.
