The past revisited

The top one was made by Larry on Long Island and sold through the Surfcaster back in the 90's I believe. It is the only real one I have so I made a few more to fish this season. I used Upol as a top coat to see how it holds up. My feelings are that the VMCs will tear them up though. Only time will tell. These were made with white pine and work just like the original.
