Shakespeare Jointed Jacksmith
While at the recent NFLCC national show, I was hoping to find some tough Zig Wags but had no luck. After seeing these, I just had to have them. These Shakespeare baits are eerily similar to Zig Wags. Apparantly, they are uncataloged baits and pretty rare. Judging from the pressed eyes, these date from 1933/34 at the earliest. They are basically a jointed version of the Jacksmith lures produced in the 1935-1950 era. Recently, I found an image of a box for a Jointed Jacksmith and is shown below. It is marked with a number code of 534. I'm still trying to find info on these, especially what patterns there are for these. Any help in adding to this new collection is surely appreciated. As always, any insight on these is welcome.
