Capt Bills Red Top #9 repro swimmer

I was reading thru my PDFs of the Saltwater Classics articles from Hunting & Fishing Collectibles magazine and came across the "Cardinal" plug that was sold thru Red Top and made by Capt Bills. I wish I had an original to measure but I decided to make one based on the attached image from the article. In the day... this plug sold for only $2.25. WOW

After looking at these images it appears the original had a thinner tail with more concavity than my version. They were available in both weighted and unweighted versions... I chose to make mine a weighted version...
