I believe it's because the spoon is always spinning and along with the treble, so the fish can get hook from the outside if it didn't have a perfect aim on the spoon. It's always nice to see your luring catches, lurer_HLF. :)

The needlefish skeletal head is impressive, it does make a very nice ornament.

The head is a real Todak's head, no painting was done, that's it's natural colours. The todak measures 83cm.

IMPRESSIVE !!! The skeletal head ! :thumbsup:

It will be interesting if you actually preserved the whole fish ...
definitely gonna make a very interesting wall deco.
Making it even more priceless coz it's your own catch.

Just curious what gave you the idea to turn it into a collector's item ?
Coz it's 83cm ?
It is a very interesting keep. Thank for sharing with us. :)
