Selling my personal tackle off bundle by bundle.

Poor PAL, I SOLD and helped load up my 10 ton and 7 ton punch presses yesterday. Both sad and happy at the same time. These press were part of the iconic PAL or PALCO or Pallister fishing tackle company from Sooke BC. Ed Pallister, i am sure punched gazillions of trolling spoons and flashers & dodgers with them. Great history, no space. Oh well. They are no longer part of the fishing industry.

I made this post because I was asked what happened to my ad for them. Sorry, sold.

Moving forward...

I still run a a P3c my favorite spoon. I went to sook after the place burnt down and bought 2 boxes of them. Wish i would have bought more.
 
Have you got any of the chrome ones kicking around . I have a few 50/50 as well as a couple of the brass ones.
I'll have to look, there may be a few, but in the future I won't be producing chrome on any blades. No one on the Island wants to do lures that I have found and on the mainland it is begining to become cost prohibitive with shipping back and forth also cost per pcs is to high. Shipping back east or to USA to have them done is also not worth the headache. All the regulations surounding it to set up is also a wash.

I’m just glad I don’t have to help you move those punch presses again. Damn things were heavy.

It is kind of sad to see them go but new things are on your horizon.
I now know how to do it the hard way and the easy way and the no effort way. It's all about leverage for the most part, but yes, awkward for only two people to muster. I have some other equiptment to deal with, you in? LOL hahaha. Kidding of coarse. :)
 
Thanks. i was going to ask if you would be punching any out but i got my answer. Thats to bad theres not a market for them anymore.
There is a maket for them. Choming localy or abroad makes them cost prohibative. They will be available, just not in chrome finish. I refuse to take an iconic original Canadian made product to China or any other country outside of Canada or USA.
