I am offering one for one. Mussos are worth over $125 ( green is old stock) and BM ?. It’s pretty rare. Maybe a one off? -

Looking to trade for Super Strike Tautog bottle. Here are two new Musso metal lips I’d consider trading. Thanks

John's needles were probably his best plug (most productive). I have done well with them over the years particularly stubby version.

When you put line on the reel for the first time put 50 lb. braided line (@ 30 yards) first, then 20 lb. mono and finally your braid running line. Amounts will vary per reel but make sure you leave enough room for at least 250 yards of running line (braid). Then rinse your reel and spool with fresh water after every trip and store in a place where reel and line can dry. Finally, at the end of every season immediately strip all the line off reel and clean spool and arbor with hot soapy water.. You will never have rot if you follow this method.

Any interest Webbfoot? -
Yes me too. I knew John pretty well. That’s why I recall him promoting that Mahi color way back when. I had the jointed mullet and needle in that color.
-
I could be wrong, but I think it was John who was first to make that color comb popular?
