Fishing: It is tailspinner time on Green River, LC, BR, Dale Hollow

From Kentucky Fish & Wildlife
Special ColumbiaMagazine.com story

A Bowling Green businessman invented a lure in the 1960s that looked more like a piece of gaudy jewelry than something that would catch fish.

Cecil Pedigo started by pouring a lead body with a concave face and pointed rear end on a piece of wire. He formed a loop around the front end, threaded a clevis pin with a small Indiana blade attached to it to the wire behind the lead body, then added a treble hook dressed with white marabou to the back end of the wire. He finished it off by painting the lead body. In the process, Pedigo concocted the Spinrite, one of the most effective winter bass lures ever made.

Merry Christmas to all (except gas grinches)

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

I wish everyone a merry Christmas and a very good New Year. I appreciate all the help from everyone monitoring gas prices very much. Especially the magazine. I hope we are helping. I just noticed that around us gas is as low as $2.69 Meantime here it's $2.88. Don't seem like the Christmas spirit is doing well.
