Default Lure retriever?

Sounds a lot like the bluegill or trout plugs by Castaic.

Hey Bob -- I've got an idea for a crankbait line. Remember the old "Flex
Plugs" (I think that's the right name) marketed by Burke. They were made

of
tough but soft plastic and they worked like regular plugs but a bass would

hold
on to them much longer than a regular hard plastic bait. My favorites

were the
Big Dig (dug deep like a Hellbender) and a top water that looked rather

like a
Heddon Chugger.

I've never figured out why Burke took those lures off the market. The

only
place I can get them now is on eBay and they're getting harder to come by

all
the time. I'd love to see someone with your creative skills take the idea

and
come out with a similar line of lures. You'd probably figure out a way to

make
them shake, rattle, and roll and catch even more fish than the Burke lures

did.
