I received an interesting email last week from Veronica Hildinger, of Kent, N.Y.
“I have found your nostalgia of your grandfather’s lures quite interesting and to be honest I feel older lures are better than the new fancy stuff on the market today,” she said. “Although I am guilty of using quite a bit of that new technology and lure design, I go back to when I read an article that Homer Circle wrote for Sports Afield magazine touting the greatness of the plastic worm — you know, the ones that used to burn your tackle box compartments and ruin the lures next to them.”
