More good stuff thanks..
I like the challenge of figuring out what the words on the sides of the pages are..
I have met Donny a few times He has a deliberate NY speech pattern I can almost hear it in the way the article was written.Kinda funny..
Here is a great quote..on what he strives for in his designs.
I'm paraphrasing slightly.
"A blend of cast ability an vibrating action."
.
This is my gospel.I can make a 2 once plug that works like a 2 bit hooker on Times Square.It does me no good if I cannot reach the fish with it...

FORE!
It's usually darkest just before it turns Black..

Acrylic sealer? Epoxy paint? Clear epoxy? Here we go again. Would have sworn that old Musso's weren't epoxy though.

Thanks

Question

In this article there are 6 plugs listed that were manufactured at that time by Superstrike.
I know what most of them were but there are a couple that I hav'nt seen or don't connect the name with the plug.
The Rattler and the Little Neck Surface Swimmer
Can anyone put a face to those names?
