Jim Donaly's Diver, by far, the rarest of the Donaly line, measuring 3" and utilizing the body most commonly seen on the WOW. The Diver was a very short lived bait, as evidenced by box paperwork found with later Donaly baits where the Diver is actually crossed out. This example is about as nice as we've seen with just a hint of wear and in need of a good cleaning. Rear treble hook is most likely a replacement. The aluminum diving lip is clearly marked JIM DONALY BLOOMFIELD, NJ and PAT 1677176.
