denjac Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 Was at an auction today and bought some old metal bait boxes. Inside on of them was several flies still stapeled on the card. They were called the Gillie fly made by Gilmore tackle co Windsor Mo. Colors were yellow moth , brown moth and ozark guinea. On the back of the card it says: Save this card Its your Guarantee.. This lure is hand made of the best materials and is guaranteed to give you your moneys worth of service. You be the judge. If it doesnt, return it with the card to the dealer or factory and it will be gladly replaced. Any body heard of them? Dennis Boothe Joplin Mo.

denjac Posted July 12, 2009 Author Posted July 12, 2009 Thanks Terry, I sent them an email to see if they know the history. Noticed they do not make flys anymore. Also my flys were from Windsor Mo and they are now in Arkansas. They look like they make some good prop baits. Dennis Boothe Joplin Mo.

denjac Posted July 12, 2009 Author Posted July 12, 2009 Heres a picture of them. Also let me say I know nothing about flies so that is why I am asking about them. Dennis Boothe Joplin Mo.

Terry Beeson Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 My honest opinion? I would frame them on the cards and keep them or sell them or donate them to the SOCFFF Conclave Auction... Well, I'd certainly frame them somehow...

I have a Hibenator I got from him one night that I have caught over 100 fish on, I think I should have got more, can I get my money back? Oh wait... he gave it to me for getting it unstuck out of his back one night. F2F
