so....I'm looking at long skinny tail end, and what looks like a pikie lip.

And some slope to the head, a high or even central wire position, and some lead forward of midline. I'll try and post pictures latter.

Paul I have a beater (maybe) for you ...lol
The Gibbs GTS 3 .3/4 lure is hands down one of the best "old time" trolling lures I have tested.

2 years ago we put a bucket of old lures (ccbc/gibbs/etc) and headed out on an all nighter in the boat, trolling leaded wire around the rocks at __ _ _ _ _
and we also used eelskin rig's.
The GTS 3. 3/4 out fished every lure by a lot!
Out Come was something like 23 bass ... with one around 40. On the gibbs

Other lures total around 14, Another night I will not forget, tossing glass eye
plugs over the side

Here are two diving Dannies. They're hard to beat behind a boat.

Specs. Big / Medium
length 8" / 6 1/8"
width 1 1/2" / 1 3/16"
nose 1" / 15/16 "
tail 3/4" / 11/16"
max width 3 1/2 back / 2 1/2 back
wt 1/2" slug 3 3/4 back / 3/8" slug 2 1/4 back
fr hook 1 3/4 back / 1" back
bk hook 5 1/4" back / 3 3/4 back
wire is just (1/8) below center line on both (? use a "high lefty lip" or drill a second hole in a pike lip above the original)
wood pine (I think)
hope this helps

Here are two googoo eyes. Supposedly Cinto took a 73lb bass trolling one on wire. The biggest is 8 1/4"x 1 3/8" , the smaller 6 1/8" x 1 1/4". Yes, those are screw eyes. The line tie is central. I think they are pine. If they are weighted it must be in the nose since I cant see a weight hole in the belly.

Here is a smaller Gibbs and a J Plug (which is an excellent trolling plug for Stripers in its own right). The J plugs usually come with a big
single hook. There was an OnTheWater episode where they were using them at Sow and Pigs.

PM me if you want measurements.
