The title "Dowagiac" caught my eye. I thought that it was a club of fisherman that used the old Dowagiac lures that I think were made by Heddon many years ago. They are a large lure with spinners on the ends and 5 large treble hooks. I have several of them that my dad passed on to me. He used them in Wisconsin to catch Muskies many years ago. One is pretty chewed up from Musky teeth.
Sorry to get off base on your post Muddy
