bottle cap fishing lures?

^^Surf, I have a friend that grew up fishing the Brooklyn area.

2 of the guys he used to fish with were named "Frankie Trebles" and "Jimmy Spoons". These were old timers who used to fish the bridges and piers at night, so they may no longer be alive.

Jimmy Spoons had that nickname because he was known for taking old spoons, cutting off the round part, drilling holes and putting hooks on them. Then he would catch bluefish and whatever else would smash them. I imagine the thin profile would even work for inshore pelagics. Creative stuff, plain and simple, and it worked. Good thread Steve.

Something like these Rich Time to hit the dollar stores

Awesome metal and tins. I wonder if those guys are still alive. Would love to hear how they got some big fish on them.
