June 2009
The “Lure of the Month” for this month is not ever a lure. It is a bobber!
It is not old. It is not valuable. It was not sold in tackle shops.
So, why is it featured?
Picture this. I am showing lures at the Northwest Sportshow. Some lures are over 100 years old. Kids are looking in the cases of all the lures with little excitement…then they see it…”Hey, a Dairy Queen! Ccooooll!”
This bobber was given out by Dairy Queen as part of their “Kids Meal” in the late 1990s. Hmmm, why wouldn’t you want a Dairy Queen in June anyway?
This bobber was given to me by a fellow lure collector. What a nice gesture! This prompted me to give an item to someone else…and I hope it goes on and on….
Take a kid fishing this summer. Even if that kid is 20 years old. Or, 44….
