When you talk to the Senior Angler.. and D.S... ask them to tell of the turning around of the A-40, in the 40's.. D.S. should get some of the credit for that...according to the Seniopr Angler.

And Leo Perry of Cherry Valley MA was the inspiration for the whole thing. I actually had the plug Woolner mentioned in his book(s) on loan to me from the Perry Bros. That Leo made from the Mahogany dust brush in his buggy at High Head that day. Complete with leather tentacles and tack eyes that inspired the squid plug craze. Cept, the boys were there with their Dad Leo, Arnold Laine and a few others and Woolner got his info second hand.

I called the Senior Angler this morning and left a message for him.

Why even try.........

We used to fish the reverse in the ditch when the squid were running. It caught some large - I still have my green & amber, lost the red and never replaced it. I wouldn't use them now for fear of loosing them.
When filled with water they cast a mile with a squidder.

I think I posted this before, but I know a guy who (in the mid 90's) took a reverse atom, took off the tail hook, crimped on an egg sinker, put a big eelskin over it, threw it near Squibnocket, in November, at night, and had a 54lb fish eat it. Something different.
