Posts: 13688 Location: minocqua, wi. | show some pictures of your old war horses, the beaten, the bruised, the warriors who spend their lives on deck and in the water and not inside the confines of a tackle box. this is an old bobbie hall-of-famer that earned the nickname Captain One Eye ... later Sharkie cuz he had a good sized tooth stuck in the top like a shark fin.

| R.I.P. Pinky. She's a 2 year old Gerrytail responsible for over 20 fish. She caught her last fish last weekend, a 50, and now the blades are inconsistent no matter the amount of tweaking. I'll reshaft it but she won't be the same. Attachments ---------------- 14412252340790.jpg (154KB - 321 downloads) | |||

Not old. It was put into service early July and has accounted for most of my fish since commissioned. Will go in for repairs this winter.  Attachments ---------------- 20150902_124845.jpg (75KB - 332 downloads) | |||

| There's maybe 80 fish on these lures, and a few of my best days ever. The 10" Big Game was destroyed/repaired in consecutive weekends by a few nasty Chip fatties a few weeks after I had a 5 fish afternoon with it. Then a bad attitude Chip fish sent it to it's final resting place. I miss that mojo. The Cowgirl ("Money") was just that for me. Also a little Buchertail and a Manta & Grandma that got a lot of fish. I love warriors. I love the pics people have shared. Please add some of yours. Good stuff. -Jon Edited by Rudedog 9/2/2015 5:40 PM Attachments ---------------- IMG_1402.JPG (128KB - 306 downloads) | |||

BNelson - 9/3/2015 4:38 PM I had a Gerry girls double 9s that had about 30 fish on it that was lost to the musky gods on LOTW this past August... there was a moment of silence in the boat after that... and don't reshaft that Gerry..if the blades still spin I bet you catch more fish on it sometimes the best ones are the ones out of wack..trust me on that. The blades don't spin anymore, it thinks it's a showgirl now. I think one of the clevises got mangled and I can't tweak it back. I felt like I was lost when I couldn't get the bait to work anymore, all confidence was gone when I couldn't use pinky anymore. Luckily I have a couple more Gerry girls creeping up on that 20 fish mark - just getting broke in

| I give you, 'The Black Knight'... If you could inspect him closely, you'd see there was hardly anywhere he hasn't been deeply cut, punctured, and melted. Not unlike The Hound on The Game Of Thrones for those familiar with that epic series. Thankfully, he survived this battle with a monster last week. Unfortunately, my Predator didn't.

Posts: 8716 | Here are a couple, along with the fish that did them in... First one is "Binky", an old Gerry's Girl that I've had forever. The blades used to be chrome plated. If you look closely, you can see a blade about to fall off. It runs okay until the blades bend, which is maybe a cast or two. Second one is an old Flasher that used to have one red blade and one hammered nickel blade. 49.5" on this one, many many pike, and this last fish that managed to remove the nickel blade. Both of these have been part of my starting lineup for many years. Sad to see them go, but they're pretty well finished. They have served me well, and have earned a permanent place on the wall of fame. But fishing won't be the same without them.
