John Mills Aka Whittler

Recommended Posts

I hadn't heard from John since early 2013 so I sent him an email. After a few weeks one of his daughters responded. John passed  on early last year. A nicer, more generous guy would be hard to imagine. There's still a lot of his tiny stuff in the gallery.

Sorry to hear that.  I talked with John through via email off an on and meet up with him a few times a some tackle shows.  I usually parted with a few cranks he was selling and he was always quick to chuck in a few others.  He was definitely a nice guy and we had planned at one time trying to get together and make some cranks and seeing each others methods.

When we first started emailing I mentioned I wanted to try making some some small trout sized cranks. He sent me three of his completed lures and a bunch of blanks and parts. Wouldn't accept anything for them. Fished the completed ones but now they will be hanging on the wall.
