Husky Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 Does anyone recall Don Bingler and some of his unique hybrid creations? He was a true Sharpie in both fresh and salt water and always managed to manufacture effective and one of a kind lures. His most popular was the Bingle Swimmer which was deadly on Strippers, Blues and Weakfish. The only thing that could damage his offerings were rust and time as they were nearly indestructable. He was a big proponent of surgical tubing Has anyone been making and lures similar to his? BTW, I've been making lures since the 60's and I am truly amazed by some of the productions you fellows here are making. Thanx for the inspiration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueyes Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 Donald was my cousin. His mother was my mother's sister. Miss him very much. His fishing stories were great and I know he was the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
