These Devons are called McGinties. They are plastic
and they are used on the St. Clare River to catch Walleyes.
These were probably made in the 50's. They
are deep trolled about a foot off the bottom. They are used to
catch Walley in the summer time when they are hard to catch.
These lures were also made by many makers in wood,
plastic, linen and I have even seen huge metal ones used for Muskies.
These two pictures are very old McGinties made in
the twenties and thirties.
There are examples of wood, linen and early plastic among these.
These McGinties all have silk or cloth tails.
