Missing in action

here is a Guzz plug(second from the bottom) a popper I have had for a long time that caught me many fish. Well it snapped off a week ago Sat. the day GOS passed and it was offered to the striper gods. I tried to track it down but failed. It was a valiant warrior over the years for me, I was going to change the hooks before the next time out, but sadly she is gone now.
I just hope nobody finds it and just sticks in in some rusty tackle box for it to rot away. Oh well, maybe I'll make another like it someday, I am glad I have a pic of it, and I have the memories of using it

anyone else lose a good one?

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

From an SOL swap? I have one just like it. Unfortunately I have not had as much chance as you to put it to good use. I'll find a bluefish blitz someday for it
