Pickled Herring-- I fished the Okie with the big end down, also. I know experts could cite several reasons why this was wrong, but the fish seemed unaware of those reasons. Egg fluorescent body/chartreuse yarn was a good combo.

Krome Brite-- I don't think Worden/Yakima Bait ever had anything to do with producing Okie Drifter. Their successful product line probably helped bring about the demise of the Okie Drifter and Ray Bobber, though.

Matt-- The colors you mention don't seem to be on your display. I've never seen them on the river. Could they have been custom painted by your granddad? Maybe Luhr Jensen added those colors to the Okie line. Just guessing...
