Fred, remember the story of Arnold Laine, Leo Perry and the mahogany dust brush?
Seems Leo, his kids, Arnold and a bunch of others were out at Peaked Hill. It was daytime and they could see bass on the outer bar but nothing they threw would get them to hit. There were squid in the water and the bass were eating them.
Leo runs to his buggy, finds the mahogany handbrush, cuts the handle off that was shaped sort of like a squid. Put a screw eye in it and fires off a cast. Bass all over it. He goes back to the buggy more screw eyes and some hooks.
Back into the water it goes. Bang! he's on and somehow the word gets out. Laine and another fellow take a clear amber Atom, cut the lip off and rig it backwards and bingo, the Reverse Atom is born.
The mahogany plug is a fish catcher and no doubt that one will be too!
Nice work!
