Does anyone recall Don Bingler and some of his unique hybrid creations? He was a true Sharpie in both fresh and salt water and always managed to manufacture effective and one of a kind lures. His most popular was the Bingle Swimmer which was deadly on Strippers, Blues and Weakfish. The only thing that could damage his offerings were rust and time as they were nearly indestructable.
He was a big proponent of surgical tubing

Has anyone been making and lures similar to his? BTW, I've been making lures since the 60's and I am truly amazed by some of the productions you fellows here are making. Thanx for the inspiration
