I live close to the old factory. I used to go down and get seconds. I'd also buy the stripers unlimited sweatshirts and T shirts. Bob Pond was great to talk to. I guess they limited quantities to some people but he let me buy all I wanted from the seconds bins and he'd have them rigged how I wanted. Some with single hooks , some with trebles , some with the little bucktail.
I bought so mmany over the years that on day several years after it closed I found a 5 gallon pale with 40 of them in it ticked away in my cellar.
Thay were great poppers. Almost nuetral boyant but did sink. Once you learned how to take advantage of the slow sink , you could kill the fish with them. Rigged with a teaser on a dropper loop they were the best all around lure for fall blitzes IMO.
Anyway , all good things come to an end .
