Billy was one of the greatest people I have ever met. I was pretty young when he was around but every time we went to his house or on a trip with him was a fantastic time. My dad was a very close friend of Billy's and we made lures for/with Billy for several years. We helped him remake the old Pedigo Spinright into something a little more Billy's taste. It took us a dozen tries but it eventually came out perfect and we called it the Maribu Spin.
