Yep, atom plugs are still around. Bob Pond and Stan Gibbs were creators of some of the finest surf plugs and their creations have fooled millions of stripers and bluefish. They both are truly pioneers. They ignored the "finnish" style of lure and put their thoughts towards distance. The Gibbs casting swimmer is old and it is almost perfectly aerodynamic.

Atom plugs are no longer made of wood like they used to be. They are made out of molded plastic that is weighted. His lures like the Atom Swimmer and Atom Jr. are monsters. The Jr is 2 and 1/4 oz and the Swimmer is heavier. The colors have changed slightly but I don't know much about that.
