I got a few of these at a swap over the winter- some have the letter " T "on the back of the lip and i noticed the last hook hanger points down rather than straight out the back - what does it mean - twitch, troll or something completely different? and which ones are better for trolling - any help is appreciated
Thanks Martin!

I don't know a lot about grandmas, but I have an old bubble eye 9" that I was pretty stoked to come across because it had the M9 lip, but somebody told me that the bubble eye version (I believe produced when magna strike was making grandmas) was unreliable, prone to cracking in half, something like that. I think someone had said they had one break in half, leaving half a grandma in a fish's mouth. So mine is retired. Maybe someone else will chime in...

I'm real sure that Jake made bubble eye grandmas as well as Magna Strike as I have some that are pre-Manga Strike and they have bubble eyes. I also have one 9" that has painted eyes.

I'm not suree about the hook hanger points. I will check mine out as I have a number of 6" and 9" bubble (and current day) Grandmas.
