Are you talking about the lure

looks like a old dahata

It's one of Bob Ponds last creations. I have a few of them. He was working on them around the time he sold the business to Metcalf. i'll dig out one and get the name an all off it for you.It was in a different package from the standard Atom lure packs. I have got some of the few he actually had in the Atom pack. He was gonna hold onto this style as a play around business after he sold Atom lures.It was along with his dinner bell lures.Ron

Oh also he had some similar that had a lead head with replacable hair on them too.

Can you tell me about when these were made.

I've been diggin around tryin to find the packaged one. have found a box of the proto types. They are rigged as the following-poppers with sliding hook on belly,swimmers like yours,with a lead head as a jig it,with a treble and a bait hook on the tail and also in Stripers Unlimited packaging as a bait rig to cast a snelled bait off the tail that has no wire just mono through the body. I'll keep looking as I've been doing some major organizing work to make more room in the shops LOL.

The ist ones were with a lead head in the early 80's.

Please don't make me search Ronnie .....
major organizing work ..wtf

Thanks guys you've given me enough info.

Someday Peter when your up this way you gotta stop in. You'd appreciate it. Ron
