Question Atom 40's

Did Bob Pond ever make these out of wood or were they always plastic?

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Larry .. look at the some plugs thread.... if memory serves me correct, there are pics of some in there. If not, well, look around, I know I've seen pictures of them posted in here somewhere.
Search under Flap, Adam R, VB, or CS, bet you'll find it under one of them fellas

I checked in there Karl...lots to look through and I might have missed them, all I could find were the pastic ones. Just more of a curious question than anything else. Thanks all.

Ch#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g the reverse Atom was a ball. Especially after they were made or adapted with holes for the water to fill em up!! Deadly in the Canal when we had Squid by the ton. I used to use a Harnel Rod and 140 Sqidder with Assinippe rag line. ( the origional braid!!!)

low & slow 37
