Location: W. PA. | I'll post this AGAIN, hopefully Adolf won't pull it for no reason AGAIN. Keep your eyes on ebay, there have been a number of them going there pretty cheap lately, <$20. I don't think they're really highly collectible or desireable outside of W. PA so you shouldn't have to pay an arm and a leg for one. |

| What is so special about them?
Jerkbait? Glidebait?
Or is it a secret? |

Location: W. PA. | Beav, not really the bait that's special, more the guy that made them. Ed Latiano was the original Ellwood City PA. luremaker. I believe he got started back in the 30's and just died last year when he was 90+ years old. The ready eddie was his most popular bait and was just like the Leo jerks of today. In fact I think he was the one that got Todd started in the business. If I get time tomorrow I'll dig up a few of mine and post a picture, he did make some interesting baits. |
