Here ya go Larry. I wish I had earlier ones of each type as its interesting to see your progression of different styles thru the years.

First picture is from the first year, all screw eyes with swivels 'pinned' with stainless nails... The two poppers took a lot of fish, the swimmer was too heavy to cast (over 5 oz). The popper in the middle is a shape I've played with a lot.

The other two pictures are popper shapes I've tweaked over the years and some danny shapes I've used a lot. The top one is the first danny I ever caught on. and I still use all 3 of those sizes...

Here are a few made over the last couple of weeks. I've made less than 20 lifetime, so I guess these are the earliest and the latest.
