Hey NIB, I got a nice lot from Campos before he went North. I have Musso's with Campo lips on them, they swim better than the originals. I am assuming the majority of the original plug designs had their genesis in the off season; the period in a fisherman's calendar known as Winter. This is when real fishermen dream of the one that got away while pluggers concoct designs to catch more legal sized fish. You know, they daydream and then go in their basement with an idea on whose plug should be resurrected for old times sake. They proceed to do their best to make a duplicate of an outdated design in order to recreate yesteryear.The resulting product may be offerred to those with similar interests on a predetermined weekend to garner oohs and aahs. The gathered obelisks will then be hung on respective walls to be admired by those in the know for the purpose of receiving complements on paint schemes and finish. I guess an idle mind IS the Devil's workshop. I prefer to go the grassroots method and abstain from paint schemes and fake eyes on wood that could heat my humble abode.
Viva la eel!!!!
