Not early, just latest
Here are a few made over the last couple of weeks. I've made less than 20 lifetime, so I guess these are the earliest and the latest.

Jointed eel.. then and now
the top one was the first effort... brass wire and pinned tail hook... it didnt swim very well.. it never caught a fish either.. the middle plug was the next step.. it took hundreds of bass and was refinished twice.... it was the last plug i painted (on a regular basis) with rattle cans.. i retired it last spring. in favor of the fish catcher below it...
