Didn't take these out for swim but rather a sink. Took a needle I had good success with last year and made them a bit thicker so they'd have the same sink rate but with a 6X 3/0 in front and 6/0 in...

The tail on the darters I made were really tapered so while they swam fine once the plug started going they seemed to hang up right when I started to retrieve them. I'm sure if the tail was bit...

Seems like a project but oddly enough I like milling wood once I start. I usually will rip the boards just shade larger than what I need to turn.

They all seem over priced for what could easily be made. I just changed out of fans in mine as one of them died but it was my fault.

I've used maple and AYC but slimmer darters have me using AYC more. Don't cast as well without weight but made a few of the same darter out of maple just for this reason.

6X in 4/0 too? No issues with the 4x 4/0 as of yet. I've been going with a 6X belly and a 4X tail hook on pencils and two 6X on swimmers. A few years back they seemed to change when they started...

Plugs and 6X hooks

Started using 6X on at least the bellys of a lot of my plugs as the 4X just started to suck bad and bend under little pressure. I was surprised at how many guys already used 6X. I guess I was out of...
