I have to ask Are the laminations vertical or horizontal.
I imagine horizontal with the maple on the bottom..??
Wait, then that would be a open face sandwich.
Do you think the ear hair makes the design more attractive to fish.

Maple on the bottom.... IMHO, by laminating the plug ( gorrilla glue) it made the plug more stable and castable. with out the benifit of alot of weight..as far as the "ear hair" not sure that it makes a hell of alot of difference, but, digging back in my cloudy memory, I remember a morning many, many years ago when a dozen or so of us were swimming plugs ( mostly goo-goo's) in the mouth of the river on wire, most of us were fishless as the sun lit the morning sky, one Gent, was hooked up constantly all night... we never saw what he was swimming... latter that fall at a directors meeting of the Merrimack valley striper club, I got the nerve to ask him what the hell he had been doing different that morning... he replied.. "whiting"... I thought for a second and said "huh" he said he was swimming a Captn' Bills swimmer in white/siver with side fins on it... I never forgot it...
Paul.. I may have enohg for a trade... a few of my fishing buddies already have their hands out!
