Metal lip help advice/help needed - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

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.

Yes. With the little plastic yellow eyes that fall out. But I'm a little unclear about the history of that company. Was "lupo" a different manufacturer than the original Danny with the decal/painted eyes? If so, are the plugs different in subtle ways? I know that the current Danny clones (Gibbs and Beachmaster) are weighted slightly differently than the "lupo" Dannys I own and the big ones have slight differences in the lips, but I don't have any early Dannys to compare to the plastic eye ones.

well! I've been told them boy's down LI. way all lived on the same street..so who made what first and who copied[borrowed] who's shape's will alway's be told differently every time you hear the story..I think I'm up to 4 different versions now.BUT I think lupo was the youngest of the group sooooo I'll let that give you hint.
