Flap, the only person mentioning the word Danny in the thread was T. Lapinski and he added 6 question marks , so unless you are stating Gibbs owns the name for some other reason, I don't see how it applies to this thread but thanks for the reminder, since I took the time to click the link and clearly Tattoo calls that plug a swimmer. I hope we can still use the word Danny in our posts here on the internet, especially since my sons' name is Danny

you like my run-on sentence?

I thought Tattoo called his "Mannys" ......NOT "Dannys"...????


you find my hat yet???

How do you register a name like "Danny" in relation to a particular product? And with whom?

This is what they own. The way the word is written I believe

That is a very pretty plug, but it is not likely to swim the same as a Pichney Danny. Note how high the line tie is, which explains why the lip is bent so vertically (otherwise the plug will dive). The tail is also thick (and therefore bouyant). I suspect it will roll more than a small danny at all but the slowest retrieve speeds (maybe the reason for the subtle coloring?). Then again, at slow speeds it probably will start swimming before a danny would. I don't own many Tattoo plugs, but his reputation is top notch so I suspect this plug will fish very well inspite of (and possibly because of) the differences.

The lip also looks like a thicker gauge metal.

That is a most beautiful plug though and hope to see it available around Cape Cod.

If you look at this
Lupo Tackle Inc. owned the "font" only from 7/20/76 thru 12/14/82

so this would indicate that the current owner own nothing that pertains to the word danny

push the lip in ... move the eye back to make the lip slot deeper and she'll push in tight ..
