I'll check it out and that's crazy. Being on the West Coast and only into custom plugs for the last year, (prior to that all i fished were gibbs polaris poppers
) have never seen one of those, heck, I have never actually even seen a habbs needle or held a vintage pikie before.
I solely based my idea on a slider squid that i received from H'Islander but since pencils work so good on the West coast, i modified it to what you see in the pics. that is the fourth generation of squid-l-pop as I went though three other designs before finding the right combo that works on the West Coast.
I checked out that squid you were speaking of. i would not say an "exact" copy as that plug appears to be used more as a slider and not a popper. I think the Atom Vinyl Squid is really closer to function as the plug.
By they way, man i was drooling going though that thread... I have never seen or heard of lots of the plugs shown.
Thanks for sharing the link and thanks to all that posted the pretties in that thread.
