Made my first attempts at darters last year. Effed up about a dozen bodies till I got my jigs set up. Then made this prototype out of Spalted beech (shaking my head). Hadn't given it much of a thought. Until last week. Decided to give it a test swim. Well she swam beautifully and cast well to boot. Unweighted. Not bad for a first finished darter. I am thrilled.
