		 This is just a WAG---I'd say Boone made the first needlefish plug. 
 
As for darters---either Stan Gibbs or Creek Chub. I've heard Stan designed his darter to fish the outflow of the creek at Sandwich's Town Neck. He wanted something that would run sub-surface but not as deep as his bottle swimmer.
