Thanks Nib... I figured that the higer the loop, the more it would want to dig and Vise versa- Also, I would bet that a very round loop is super important so your snap can slide up the loop as the darter digs in... I have 5 here that are ready to seal and I wonder if I should put some lead in one or 2 and see how they act-
I'm getting into these and they werent that hard to make-
To anyone wanting to try a darter, the key is a bandsaw and to leave the squarestock on teh tail so you can get all your holes and lip cuts square- once all your cutting is done, then and only then should you cut off the tail stock-
as for colors- ya cant not have a yellow darter
so yellow, black, white, and maybe a black/gold one- nothing fancy
