not to poo on this maker's plug,,but in the late 50's , stan gibbs first bottle darter was as you see it in the pic [3 plug's]posted above and widely used at montauk..then the second shape was a bottle with a bit more of an upper lip. then to the full shape that commonly seen today.I beleive someone picked up on this plug and ran with it...if I could pull the pic's of stan's templete out of this book and post them,,you could see for yourself.

BOAT fish do count.
