7.5 long OAL

.850 dia. at front, lip side

.460 dia. at rear side end

largest dia. is 1.36 dia. which is at the wgt.

from the front, lip side, measuring to the rear
first hook 1.75 back 1.20 dia. at that point

Belly Wgt. 3.875 back 1.360 dia. at that point

Rear hook 4.875 back 1.23 dia. at that point

He used a 3/8 dia. belly wgt. that was 7/8 long

His large surface swimmer used a #2 lefty low slot mounted above center of plug. Pichney's surface swimmer used the#3 Pikie lip but the lip slot was lower on the lip compared to all the ones available nowadays. I cut my own slot in the commercially available lips. All the other Musso's Pine, Maple, Rattler, used #3 Pikie lips but not cupped.

1st pic You can see the lip and line tie locations on all but the rattler style Sr's and Jr's

2nd pic you can see lip and line tie for the Sr. surface swimmer on right. I think the plug on left is a pine

3rd pic you can see a Sr. Musso surface swimmer on the top x ray. bottom is a Danny Conrad

hope this helps. Good luck
