I had some originals from @ 1987 that caught fish but did not hold up well. The through wire actually rusted and the paint bubbled off. I don't think they were sealed. He must have improved upon them some after that.

I agree. I bought some and the plating just peeled off of the lips and through wires rusted plus the finish sucked. I think they were way overated, so much so I gave mine away. junk really.

Why even try.........
