Another great one gone :(
I just heard Tony Stetzco Sr passed away last night
RIP Tony you were a class act. When I first started in plug building I looked at your lures as absolute genius and inspiration.
Rotten frickin day  May all your fish be large.
Tony Jr my thoughts are with you.

Many might not know it but Tony Sr was the guy who came up with the original Needlefish Wad shape that superstrike, habs, beachmaster etc all used. He was quite a fisherman. I was fortunate to meet him a few times. His plugs were innovative and always off the wall for shapes and colors but he knew right how to make a plug swim and catch a fish

My condolences to Tony jr and his mom 
Very sorry to hear this today when Karl told me.
He had a great talent and loved fishing.
I met him once out on Nauset and he introduced me to his son.
I have a few of his plugs and they are certainly innovative and unique, but mostly they were made to catch fish.
