Artificial worms
- Date
- 1980
- Description
- One proof sheet with thirty-six black and white images. Woody Woodward and Al Jones with plastic worms Woodward made as fishing lures. Woodward, with Al Jones, made artificial fishing worms out of plastic for sale in Happy's Bait and Tackle Shop in Inverness. Begun in the 1960s, the idea came to Woody and Al when they noticed that fish only struck worms that floated at the surface by their tails. Therefore, they made a lure to imitate that behavior.
