Numbskull, do you know what came first? The Heddon Lucky has a similar face to a bottle darter.

In this pic you can see how they changed the design.

Yeh Larry I know, I have fished them for years in freshwater. I was just curious if anyone here made a heavy saltwater model. If you threw one you would see the erratic action they have. I would think they would be much easier to make than a darter or bottle darter. Not that there is anything wrong with those. You can never have enough toys in your bag. Just lots of ideas in my head and since I don't build, I have to ask.

Years ago I gave it a half hearted try. Maybe again in a few yearsI'll look around and see if I can find'm

I assume the Lucky 13 antedates the Gibbs bottle by a lot. The gibbs has a slightly different face shape with more curvature to the sides. The musso bottle is closer to the heddon plug.

How do they float, where does the water cross the back of the plug and where does it cross the face?
