Couple of seasons ago I found an old plastic 40 on the beach. The swivels are completely rotted off. It's a purple swirl plastic with a stainless lip. The lip is stamped but I can't make out more than "FG CO.. and turned up at the edges. Any idea of it's age?

Arnold was fishing the race with his secrert sause and killing cows, bob adaped the a40 to accept the sauce..hence the stinky lure.a mess it did make too,,the plug's didn't last long on the market because of it.
One needs to look at the wire in a atom to tell it's age....brass came first to about the early seventies....sst from then on.Bob wasn't a fan of catologing his bait's, so info at time's is hard come across.He was interested in saving the bass then his plug's.

A point of interest to you guys chasing AYC. The one time I met Bob Pond I asked him what wood he used for his wooden Atoms. As I recall he told me it was Port Oroford Cedar. This stuff is readily available at most lumber yards. You'll have to pick through it since it is all "new growth" lumber and full of knots, but with a little luck you can find usable wood. I just finished cutting an 8' clear 4x4 into 1.75" billets. I think it cost about 37 bucks (I also bought some clear 8/4 eastern pine which is nice for carving plugs, but pricey).
