A dilemma � I will donate to the Jesse West Foundation auction a �novelty� Gutless Frog fly and/or a custom lathe turned/air brushed top water lure �. OR � a serious collector �Original� Spinster fly that is sought by fly collectors.

Problem is "Original Classic� no mas � all in collectors hands or worn out striper fishing.



� BUT �.. I do have one remaining �Original� Shad Spinster that I would donate if the price is right � and then no mas �.. ever �



Actually the Spinster fly value is famous for the jig hook that has been accepted as a standard to some extent worldwide �.

This is a serious item that I do not want to put up for auction if no interest at this time � maybe at the next PB conference?

What do you think?
