Man I love that devil horse. I throw it sometimes even when I know they are not hitting top water.
When I first started bait casting I was probaly about 10 and the line was cotton. When you came in from fishin you had to stand the rod and reel in the corner and strip all the line off onto a large coil on the floor to let it dry or the next time you went fishing it would be so rotten it would literaly fall apart. We usually only had 2 baits, a yellow sally with a #4 silver spinner and an uncle josh pork frog, and a yellow bellied paw paw. I think the devil horse probaly evolved from the paw paw, might have been in the 60s.
