Conrad's??? We used to fish plugs like that in the late 50's and 60's. They were not made out of wood, they were a variety of colored plastic and made by Atom. They were called REVERSE and whatever the color. I have a Reverse amber someplace, maybe even an olive also. Got to dig it out. I may be wrong, but those Conrad's sure do remind me of the "reverse" plugs. Basically they were an atom 40 with no lip and simply pulled backwards through the water. Caught a lot of bass out of Rockport with those. Probably the original squid imitation.
