Alitte history lesson here....MR.conrad was the first one to make "the conrad"out of an ax handle[ash] to beable to reach out beyond the second bar in PTown where it was very deep...either one was found on the beach or was bought an taken back to NY for copying by Danny pichney...where it was used off a bridge to reach the bottom where the bass lay in wait...no casting needed here because of it's weight..they dropped it straight down and just let it wiggle in the crurrent...I beleive the heavy ones were made just for this reason..then some were made to be lighter for skinny water as time went on as in the way bm made them.

BOAT fish do count.
