I got my Billy Phillips Double Whammys in the mail.

Made in Jackson Tennessee! I bought 4 of these lures and they threw in an extra for free! A Buzz Whammy!  That was such a nice gesture I thought I would give them a plug on TGO. Billy Philips died a while back and we thought the Double Whammy was gone forever but as of March, they are back in business.

 

In the 1990s I went fishing for the first time at Lake Mattamuskeet in Eastern North Carolina. We stopped at a local bait shop and I asked the guy, "What are they catchin'em on here?" He handed me two Double Whammys and said ,"You can't get these at Walmart." I proceded to catch the biggest bass I have ever caught with one of these and have caught scores of bass with them since. It's a spoon with a hook welded to it, with a skirt and an inline spinner. They don't call it weedless but it can be cranked through the brush and lilly pads really well. It is the best spinner ever made.
