Todd is right, '76 was the year Black Max was introduced.

It has that 76 to 78 look. I was born in 71 and this looks like stuff I remember when I was young. 

1976 ?

It was a little tricky because as a couple people mentioned, the Black Max and the Bait Walker both came out in 1976. The key though is the Burke ad featuring the Sqirm Skirt and the Buz-z-z-z Dudly, both of which weren't filed for name trademark until October 1978. The ads appeared the following year in the Jun/July issue of In-Fisherman.

Yes, I won!!!!
