I'd like to think that RiversEnd was the 1st place to sell those Doc lures as just blanks- with no paint- and people have been catching BIGG fish on them for years now....

I've seen them used for topwater tuna recently as well

A small group of mostly Newport guys have been ordering them from musky mania for a long time. Pete G from the edge first showed me one back when the shop was on Thames st.I’d guess that was 15 years ago. At that time I wasn’t comfortable asking someone I didn’t fish with where I could get one of their “secret weapons.” A little more then a year later I found one on cutty and the owner wanted it back and I wanted ordering info lol

Was definitely the crew of guys at SWE that uncovered the Doc... that said it took the shop itself years before it offered them to their customers. It was more like the SWE crew would get together and order their own stash. But there were strict rules for the shop not to let the cat out of the bag It wasn't until Rivers End and another shop in Warren/Bristol started to offer them did the SWE finally start selling them to the GP.
