I have been reading thru the 30 articles online from Hunting and Fishing Collectibles Magazine and had to turn a few copies of the 7.25 and 8.25 inch needles that lead to the current plastic needle from Super Strike.

here are the links to the 3 articles on Don Musso:

and the article that focuses on the evolution of the needle design:

The green needle is my copy of the 8.25 inch Musso Wadd design and the Tiger maple one on the lathe is the 7.25 inch Musso needle.

The Tiger is a floater while the Block island green one is a sinker with a sliding tail wt.

Check out the rest of the articles in these series by changing the article number from 1-30.

Great reading and super pictures of many hard to fine collectibles...
