Anyone remember a lure called a " Cook Devil "
Bass Pro shops sold these in the late 70's and it was a molded plastic (polypropylene ? ) floating weedless spoon with double hooks that used rubber bands for weed guards.
Might have originated in Florida

Can't say I've ever seen one of those

It was kind of heart shaped with a vinyl skirt on each of the 2 molded in hooks hanging out of the back . It fished kind of like a hollow bodied frog but had a bad habit of landing upside down at times but luckily he rubber band weed guards kept it from snagging weeds when that happened .

OK found some more info for the Cook Devil from a video a guy posted showing the pages of a 1976 BPS catalog . Maker was "Action Lures" out of Jackson Mississippi who also made a worm called the "Breathing worm" that is said to be the inspiration for Greg Stump's Zipper worm . Got a screen shot of the catalog page showing the bait .
