I am convinced Donny MUSSO invented /designed the Danny plug shape. Dan Pinchney first MARKETED it as his Danny Plug. Thats the way its been explained to me by several OLD timers who knew them both. Pinchney has passed away, so we really cant ask him. But Mr Musso will tell you the whole story including what sparked the idea in the first place. He was tuna fishing and admired the sleek shape of Tuna and how they tuck their pectoral Fins etc, the idea popped in his head for a plug that resembles the body of a tuna. From there he designed and perfected the shape. This is the story ive heard over and over.
There is no Danny patent as far as I am aware, the DANNY name was purchased by Gibbs and they own it to this day. Patents are only good for 17 years anyway, a copyrighted product name is yours until you sell it .
