Looking for old Duke bucktails, even a picture of one would be great if anyone has one, has a unique long blade that almost looks like a Willow blade but more rounded. Doesn't have beads but has a cylindrical weight/body. I believe they were mad in the Baldwin WI area

I found online that the Duke was made by Grassls Double 00 Company and made in River Falls WI. Still looking for one, and a picture if anyone has one

Location: SE, WI.
Here is a couple old bucktails my dad used back in the day. Not sure if this helps but not sure the year these were built. 60's maybe. Smaller one has faintly marathon on blade. Blade is Flat. Probably flare Nicely.

These had oval blades, and we're made in the late 80s and 90s I would think

That's the newer version, the older ones have blades significantly longer than that
