 Also trading as Jac-Pot Lures, were the makers of, "Goo-Goo Eyes". Their distinct style of lure building make them easily identifiable, even though the eye types and hardware were changed a few times over the years:
*******
Oldest: protruding mustard colored eye with black iris
*******
Next: protruding mustard or white eye with concaved black iris
*******
Then: protruding amber eye
*******
Last: semi flush amber eye
*******
The newer model lures are still very much in demand today, and are used by many serious striper fishermen.
