As you can see, he makes lovely fishing lures and wobblers out of abalone shells and is looking for more people to donate whole shells (sans parasitic holes) to his cause. He will give you some lures and polish a whole shell for you if you desire. He is a retired gentleman in the midwest who used to live along our coast and does this for a hobby. If you want to reach him, register with Fishsniffer.com and contact CaptSalmon or if you want, I can contact him for you. He's desperate for shells!

free shells
