Some one had previously posted the link to the website with the trout plug in the left image. It had a video on it. It was very cool. Can't find it now.

How'd you get that effect on the Mac pattern? Black base coat, then some sort of pattern stencil that you did an over paint? Very sweet!

I think I've got a surface swimmer in the basement. I'll take a look and let you know what I find on the lip slot and size.

Flaptail, I'll try making a few with that as my criteria. Probably means a bit more tail weight or slightly less belly weight than how I've got these guys balanced. Why the single look on the back vs...

finaly swam these guys

The squidy one has potential. It can be twitched and made to glide pretty nicely. The next one down swims by itself hanging in current like a fish hovering in the water as well as twitching and...

Been playing with different profiles trying to see what will work better in heavier current. Two Pinchney profiles (top) and two of my own (fat bodies). So far, the fat boys seem to do better....

They've been dipped and sealed already. Did that after all the drilling and messing around with them. I'll pop a coat of epoxy on 'em before they take a drink.
