Danny Pichney Collection

These plugs are part of one of the last and perhaps largest remaining collection of original, authentic new in package Danny Pichney wood lures. Danny Pichney is one of the greatest plugmaker legends in the entire history of surf and striped bass fishing.

Working in wood, Danny Pichney's craftsmanship is akin to Americana folk art collectibles. Each lure normally displays manufacturing, finishing and natural blemishes in the wood. These small manufacturing and natural marks enhance the feel and appeal of the lure, making it more like custom-crafted fishing folk art rather than having the look of mass-produced commercial items.

There are nineteen models and eighty-four unique color/model instances in this collection. At least a dozen more models and other paint patterns by Danny are not part of this particular collection.

Information specific to the models in this collection, and how to fish with them and other trivia about them can be read here, including points of interest, some history and tips how best to use each model. It is a living document, meaning new material is still being added as time permits.

All are a minimum of twenty to twenty-five years old more or less.  All are new in package. A few packages were opened for the first time ever to take these photos of each lure. Otherwise, all have never been taken out of the original packages that Danny sealed them in. All have original, authentic through-wires, grommets, swivels, lips, hooks, bucktail and finishes put on by Danny Pichney. No modifications or usage has been made of any of these lures. All are "as made" by Danny Pichney. They've never been out of the original package or touched by any hands but Danny's (except to take photos). No oxidation on metal parts. No blemishes except the distinctive marks made by the plugmaker.

Danny Pichney put decal eyes on approximately ten percent of this collection. When the craftsman (Danny) was in a rush (height of the season) or wanted to get a new batch of plugs onto the beach quick, he often did not put any eyes on. And in much of his later period, Danny tended not to stick on eyes. In usage, the decal eyes often washed off within a few casts to a few trips anyway. I never felt any indication from bass that eyes ever mattered to them. Eyes are an embellishment for us, the consumer. To us (not the bass) they complete the illusion of life. This sounds odd, but you can equate it to a baby doll toy with no eyes... would you buy one for a small child? So eyes on plugs were there merely to appease us in the buying process. As Danny perhaps may have felt (due to his diminished use of eyes over time), no one can say pretty plug eyes ever mattered to a bass.
