Ouch, down to your last one. They look close to Hahns but his looked more like a CC and most of his lips were made from spinner blades.

I'm still kicking myself for not buying all of the big Danny's the shop had. I only grabbed one of about 4-5.

I don't think no one has done great on the strait one in years (at least from I hear).Jointed is another story.......It seems the strait one had done well many moons ago when large sand eels were predominant bait.Fish wanted that thin ,long silhouette.I personally have never done well on it.....The jointed one is another story.Darn thing is as close to an eel as I ever seen.Giant jointed pikes are just as good but a guy with a spinning tackle in underguned for 4 or 5 ounces these plug weigh.Eelie comes in a 2 to 2/12 ounce ,much better suited for spinning rod.Another thing to consider is a possibility of live eels being off limits ,something we might see in near future.Having said all that ,I do wish more builders would build jointed plugs even thou I know its not economical and in order to make it so the price is high ,bringing hollering from those who buy it.Darn ,its double work.No wonder no one makes them.Anyway ,I heard the same rumor ,sometimes in spring I would guess.

CS I have to check,I think I have a jointed eelie turned by Danny, I also have the Danny "rebel" both slopehead and flat face. I think I repainted the jointed many years ago, but the others are in his hand. I can lend them to you for specs.
