Well Numbskull, I modeled the plug after Danny Pichney's Surface Swimmer Sr. as described in Bassdozer's Surf Plugology. I've never fished another Danny (or whatever you want to call it), but I call it a Danny as it is modeled after that design description. Having never seen a Pichney Surface Swimmer Sr ., I did my best to get the described action, but also wanted to try to make the plug my own to a degree, hence the large body. Are today's Dannys not modeled on his original design?

Also, is there somewhere I can find another description of what a Danny is supposed to do? And also, maybe the specifics that would designate a Danny a Danny, a Surfster a Surfster, a Cowboy a Cowboy, or a Pikie a Pikie etc? Is there really a "universal" agreement or standard for all the plug designs out there? If there is, I'd love a copy and would appreciate if you could point me in the right direction.
