Conservatism is not about leaving people behind.  Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

Fishbones has to be automatically out with his guess of 1982!    Specified between '85-'95 |

				 | The answer is 74,755 in 10 years and the biggest year they had was 1988.
 I have an original dealer pricelist and prospectus from when he sold the company.
 
 Vineyardbloos I believe is the winner.
 
 Send me your address oh great one.

 |  Salty,  you didn't factor in returns.  Over those 10 years they had 63,206 plugs returned so my guess of 11,549 is right on    
On a serious note, do you know many plugs they sold in 1988? |

Scott , I sent you a e-mail with addy , can you send copies of your find ? I am a collector

No one I know of , Collects them but me and that gumpy old wise one who walks funny     
Most of his plugs were used from boats Not shore, they were good back in the day (when the cape had striped bass)....   I am 90% sure someone now owns the company because I found some on the vineyard for 15 plus dollars and I think the had a silver "eye"  ?   |

				 | Capt'n Andy sure was an old sly coot....many stories of his deeds most of which can't be put into print[lets say he lived lively]..He did however have one trick that could be told....before he picked up his paying guests to take them fishing, he'd head to the chatham airport where he'd take off and head for north beach..down the outside he'd go till he spotted a school of bass,marked the spot an headed back to pick up his paying guests and head for the beach, taking them to the spot where the school was...they caught fish and thought he was god, knowing just where the fish would  be....
 I do have every style and color he did but one...the small white popper...I've hunted fo years and still havn't found one.....the collection all signed but the one I'm missing.
