Awesome CS My grandfather was the maker of Soco Baits, built them in his garage in Quonny circa 1950 for a few years. He died in 1968 when I was just 4. I had no idea his plugs were so rare and prized until a couple of years ago. Sadly, I have none of them. I do have some unfinished blanks that I've been meaning to try to match to some plugs of a collector to see if they are the same, but havent gotten to it yet
