These lures look like Honey Bees. I thought I was a dealer in these lures but I put an order in back June 2013 and haven't received the order yet. There website says "gone fishing". You read between the lines .Sounds like what Honey Bees are out there for sale might be the last you see of them. Fishy Business does have a few still in stock. Fishy will be selling Finger Lake Tackle lures in 2014.
Back in the 80's and 90's people would put 15 single hooked lures out on 3 or more thermocline rigs and troll,just keep tighting up the drag until they decided it was time to bring in the rig. Could have many fish on at that time ,don't know how long you have had many fish on that rig. It was told to me that the Cayuga Lake charters went to the State and asked to only allow just 5 baits and no more than 15 points. Many troller tournaments were won with those type of setups.
It was nice fishing these when you were in a tournament cause the more lures in the water the better chance to get all types of trout. I fished them to until some people on Cayuta Lake didn't like the money won by the Finger Lake trollers group. Could have been the charter boats.
