Massachusetts Pride......MA Modern Fishing tackle and gear Manufacturers

[DarkSkies]

Hold Fast Lures, Braintree, MA

Met Ralph MacLeod, the guy who started and created the Lilblinkie line of plugs. Has a 46 year background in electronics, and 52 years experience fishin!

His plugs, made of plastic, looked no different than ordinary bomber profile plugs. What's different is how he developed them. His electronics experience helped him to design and make a commercial version of a plug that lights when it hits the water, and has magnetic sealed contacts activated by that water.

So how could that ever work, putting a battery operated lighted plug in a saltwater envoronment? They would be destroyed by salt in a matter of hours, or a day at the most?

Well, Ralph claims no, his process has everything sealed. I don't know how they fish, or if they will hold up, but Ralph claims they will, and he seemed pretty knowledgable in science and technology, and an avid fisherman. Stop by his booth if you get a chance and check out his stuff, plugs priced from $10-15.
