Also very hard to watch the Tattoo banner come up. Every time I see it; all I think about is 3 ounce Tattoo darters.
It all started last year during a terrible thunderstorm, when I locked myself out of the house. Shelving myself with a large piece of sheet metal, I ran for cover under the tallest tree I could find!
Found it.
It is the dark blue one.
Turns out it is basically a two hook version of the Musso 3 oz (the light blue below it is a copy)
Shown for reference is a yellow Pichney/BM copy.
I thought I might try copying the Tattoo but see that I already came up with something very close (the mackerel above it) while trying a two hook version of the Musso (since two hook darters cast better than three hook plugs). Can't say I've had great success with the two hook version, however, possibly because the three hook version is such a great plug I reach for it first. I do think the two hook versions have a bigger darting swing. Your post praising the Tattoo will probably push me to try my version a bit more.
